Streetsboro/Cleveland SE KOA
Mar-Lynn Lake Park is now STREETSBORO/CLEVELAND SE KOA!! Streetsboro KOA is a great place to escape the pressures of everyday life. A family friendly place to relax with your kids, we offer many ways to enjoy yourself. Sit around a crackling campfire, catch some rays on our beach or swim in our spring-fed lake.

Our campstore is an 1800's era General Stare that was moved to this location in the 1970's. We sell hand dipped ice cream and fudge that is made right on the campground property.

We are also within 6 miles of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park with many miles of beautiful hiking and biking trails.
