Fall in Love with September Camping at Maple Lakes Campground

As the summer crowds fade and the air turns crisp, Maple Lakes Campground in Seville, Ohio, becomes a peaceful autumn retreat. Whether you’re planning one last family getaway or a quiet couples’ weekend, September offers the perfect balance of warm afternoons and campfire evenings.

1) Enjoy Early Fall Color and Scenic Walks

Medina County’s park system offers dozens of short, scenic trails for September strolls. Try Hubbard Valley Park for lakeside walking or Whipp’s Ledges at Hinckley Reservation for early leaf color and sandstone views. Cooler temps make hiking comfortable and photography unbeatable.

2) Celebrate Local Flavor at Fall Festivals

September marks the start of Ohio’s fall festival season! Don’t miss:

• Main Street Medina’s Fall Foliage Festival – local crafts, food, and music.
• Mapleside Farms in Brunswick – apple picking, hayrides, and giant slides for kids.
• Nearby farm markets featuring cider slushies, pumpkins, and homemade donuts.

3) Take a Scenic Drive Through the Countryside

The rolling hills around Seville and Medina come alive with early autumn color. Cruise the backroads along State Route 3 or plan a longer drive toward Cuyahoga Valley National Park to catch waterfalls framed by gold and crimson trees.

4) Try a New Campfire Recipe

Cooler evenings call for hearty campfire meals! Try foil packet chili mac, apple crisp in a cast-iron skillet, or s’mores made with caramel-filled chocolate. The picnic areas and fire rings at Maple Lakes Campground make every meal feel like an event.

5) Relax by the Lake and Unwind

Of course, you don’t have to leave camp at all. September brings quiet mornings by the lake, crisp reflections on the water, and perfect weather for fishing or reading in a hammock. It’s the kind of serenity that makes camping at Maple Lakes so memorable.

6) Book Ahead for Fall Weekends
