Maple Lake Campground, Seville OH

Maple Lake Campground is a very nice campground outside Seville, OH.   It has a fishing pond, nice pool, and wifi at the office.   We spent our first evening in the office using the wifi while other campers were busy watching a football game, playing pool or visiting with friends.    Many of the campers were camped there long term.  

The next morning we went into town and had breakfast at Hardees and then found the Northern Ohio Electric Car Museum.   We had a guided tour with a lady who had been a conductor on the cars and who knew many of them having worked on them.   She truly had a love for the cars, and it showed!  

On Sunday we drove about 60 miles to Bellvue, OH to the Mad Dog Nickel Plate Railroad Museum.
The rolling stock was really in good physical condition.   The museum was started in 1976 and celebrated its 40th anniversary in June.  It has 50 pieces of rolling stock and is the largest in OHIO.
I especially enjoyed seeing the troop car with bunks 3 tiers high and the vast display of train place settings.  

The next day we left for 4 nights at Geneva-on-the Lake on the shores of Lake Erie.
