We spent three days at Pier-Lon campground. It’s on the West side of Medina, so pretty close and not far from I-71 so easy to get to. Pier-Lon has a lot of green space, play ground and full setup for $50 per night. There is a big pond with a beach and is a great place for kids. Alcohol isn’t permitted, so it is setup as a family destination.
Pier-Lon is not a great place for dogs. That green space shown in the first photo is posted as a Pet-Free zone. This photo shows that the camper spaces are placed pretty close together. There are a few trees, but it’s all lawn. Like me, Sparky will pee anywhere, but can be particular about where he takes a dump. There weren’t any bushes or rough grass for him to do his dirty business. Walking was limited to along the rode. Sparky seemed a tense most of the time we were there.
Pier-Lon is a quiet place, but the RV’s are close enough that sounds from other RV’s can be a problem. The fire rings are anchored nearly on the road.
Overall, I’d give Pier-Lon a 5/10 for me, but a 7/10 for someone with kids and no dog.
There isn’t much to do in the vicinity of Pier-Lon, but I did find a nice park, with great bike trails, only a few miles away. I went in at the Chippewa Inlet Trail North. There are several loops and probably 6 or 7 miles of trail. It’s all this good and occasionally better.
