Facility Overview
Carrollton RV Parks is situated at 4105 Fresno Rd NW in the scenic rolling countryside of Carrollton, Ohio (Carroll County). Operating primarily as an expansive, open-air rural campground and recreational vehicle park, the site provides specialized surface parking and extended-stay space for recreation and travel vehicles. Because the grounds are fully outdoors and unobstructed by overhead structures, parking decks, or low-hanging clearance beams, the facility features unlimited vertical clearance. This makes it an accommodating destination not only for standard passenger cars, minivans, and pickup trucks, but especially for large-format vehicles such as Class A, B, and C motorhomes, fifth wheels, travel trailers, toy haulers, and utility equipment.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Positioned just northwest of central Carrollton, this property offers a peaceful setting while keeping visitors connected to regional recreational attractions and town conveniences:

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
The facility is accessed directly via Fresno Road NW (County Road 19), which connects conveniently to Ohio State Route 43 and State Route 39. These primary arterial routes provide straightforward transit connections northward toward Canton and Akron, and eastward toward Steubenville and the Ohio River Valley. Ingress and egress are planned to accommodate wide turning radiuses for long vehicles, heavy-duty dually pickup trucks, and towed trailers. While rural Carroll County lacks municipal subway, rail, or fixed-route metro transit systems, regional travel relies on personal vehicles, campers, and rural dial-a-ride transit services.

Visitor & Driver Tips
When navigating to 4105 Fresno Rd NW, approach with caution during evening hours, as rural county roads lack dense street lighting. Drivers towing long trailers or driving heavy motorhomes should plan their approach via major state routes (such as OH-43 or OH-39) before transitioning to local roads to ensure wider intersections. Prior to arrival, confirm space availability, hookup specifications (30-amp vs. 50-amp power), and advance reservations, especially during peak summer holiday weekends and Carroll County Fair week.
