Also called the Bear Creek Resort Ranch KOA, this campground has a Western flair, with guided horseback rides along wooded trails and pony rides for little buckaroos. Take a paddleboat on the 5-acre fishing lake or ride your ATV's nearby on 26-miles of marked trails. Visit during one of the many family-oriented theme weekends. A Halloween campout, haunted house, forest walk and hayride make October weekends spooktacular! No camper? No problem! Great kamping awaits you in a deluxe or country Kottage with bathroom and kitchen. Groups are welcome. This is the closest KOA to the National Pro Football Hall of Fame, the largest Amish community, the McKinley Presidential Library and Museum, Warther Museum and Knife Factory and Lehman's Hardware. Nearby, find flea markets, ATV trails, golf courses, canoeing and shopping.

Leo and Carol Soehnlen's restaurant created a need for a different kind of amenity-a KOA campground. They purchased a church camp in 1968 that hosted the restaurant and many family activities, and soon realized they needed a place for visitors to stay. This prompted Leo and Carol to build cabins, cottages, and RV sites, thus creating their KOA campground. "We developed the campground into a family recreational facility," said Carol.

One endearing quality of the campground is its close proximity to many tourist attractions. "There are all kinds of things to do including an Amish community, chocolate factory, the McKinley Memorial, as well as the most popular-the Pro Football Hall of Fame," added Carol.

Customer service is very important to Leo and Carol, and they attempt to influence their employees to think the same. "We encourage our employees to go out of their way to find the answer to any problems that arise. If they don't know the answer, they find someone who knows," said Carol.

The couple has four grandchildren they enjoy spending time with. Carol also enjoys cooking and landscaping, and because the campground is open year-round, Leo spends much of his time working
