RV Rental North Fairfield, OH

Rent a motorhome in North Fairfield and breathe the scent of towering pines, beech, and maple of Findley State Park some 40 minutes' drive away. Hit the scenic hiking/biking trails to view wildflowers and observe wildlife, or rent a boat or canoe for some quiet time on the water. Bass and pike are also plentiful in the lake if you want to reel in some action. For birders, the park, as part of the Lake Erie Birding Trail, attracts red-shouldered hawks, pileated woodpeckers, and barred owls.

For something more strenuous, drive your RV rental from North Fairfield to Bellevue to explore its subterranean attraction. The middle-of-nowhere location doesn’t look much on the surface, but the caverns here have been designated a natural landmark and kept close to its original state. The floor drops to several levels below the earth so navigating it may require moderate physical fitness as you inch your way through tight switchbacks and steep passageways. There's a clear water stream that runs beneath the caves, and if you keep your eyes peeled, you just might see heaps of fossils embedded on the ceiling of the cave.

A little farther away but well worth a day trip with your camper rental from North Fairfield is Cuyahoga Valley National Park where woodlands, wetlands, and old fields come beautifully together with history. Walk along the historic Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail, or hike a portion of the Buckeye Trail which passes through the park.

Or don't sweat it at all and simply climb aboard the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad train as it makes its way north-south through the park. Several excursions are available to suit a range of interests; join their wine-tasting or breakfast tours for a multi-sensory experience.

North Fairfield is less than a square mile in area, so the closest RV parks are in Milan and New London about 15 miles away. There are several RV campsites there, mostly with full hookup sites. Include some fishing into your campground activities at Clare-Mar Lakes RV Park (New London) and Auburn Lake Park (New Washington).

If you're not looking to connect to water or electricity, consider bringing your travel trailer rental from North Fairfield to the Walmart parking lot in Norwalk. You may be able to stay in the parking lot for a night or two if the store manager approves your request.

Little remains of the original buildings that paved the way for the early prosperity of North Fairfield. The grocery store options are also limited (although there's one in town) and so are fuel stops. The closest gas stations are in Willard and Norwalk (10 to 12 miles away); if you're willing to go that far, you'll be rewarded with culinary offerings that range from American to Mexican to Chinese.

Look to Plymouth to get a sense of what a 200-year-old town looks like. This small town's historic district features buildings in the Italianate style that was all the rage from the 1860s to the 1880s. Plymouth's public square and settlements also reflect the road development as the War of 1812 unfolded (as the town was along the military road). The town's original platting even remains intact along with some of the street names, allowing visitors to easily imagine what it felt like in its early days.

Drive your campervan rental from North Fairfield to Huron County’s seat and travel farther back in time in Norwalk's Firelands Museum, the Buckeye State's oldest. Get face to face with artifacts stretching to as far back as 14,000 years ago, including bones of a ground sloth that showed the hunting activities of ancient Ohioans. The museum also displays Native American articles, murals, and other exhibits that tell the story of prehistoric Huron and Erie counties.

Fast-forward to the modern era of muscle cars and the fastest street cars at the Summit Motorsports Park, also in Norwalk. Time your visit on a summer weekend to catch the action either on the racetrack or in the car show. This is where you can watch, quite literally, original equipment manufacturer or OEM cars put rubber to the road.

It’s true that it’s all about the journey, and not just the destination (especially if your destination is small). So book an RV rental in North Fairfield today and look beyond what the tiny Ohio town has to offer. (No surprise here, there are many.)
