I will always argue that there is no such thing as "free camping." If you leave your backyard, then you are spending something for transportation to a campsite. Beyond transportation, you will spend money for any utilities and other infrastructure involved in your expedition.
Begin studying Ohio State Parks. See if Buckeye Lake State Park has the kind of facilities that you hope to enjoy. If you want more primitive camping experiences, then you probably need to travel to more remote locations.

The only designated wilderness area in Ohio is West Sister Island Wilderness, which does not allow camping.
"West Sister Island is an island of the U.S. state of Ohio located in Lake Erie. The 82 acres (33 ha) island is in the Western Basin of Lake Erie and is jointly owned by the United States Coast Guard and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and managed and designated as a wilderness area. The only such area in Ohio with this designation, West Sister Island Wildlife Refuge is home to many birds. To protect vital nesting areas of the island's bird population, public access is permitted for research only, and only one day a year."

We're in Akron Ohio...and wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions on tent camping for this weekend? We were thinking NImasla near Portage Lakes....Any others nearby? We also have kids 4 and 2yrs old.

Located South of Canton. I grew up and worked at Atwood Lake Park, nice country scenery, big enough for some nice amenities but not so big you get a really rowdy crowd. Lake beach is not too big ( can rent paddle boats, etc), playground areas, and coordinated events from the Activities Center (along with ice cream, sundries and snacks). To find it, check out the yellow pages for Atwood Lake Park located in Mineral City, Ohio (closest Post Office, not actually located in town of Mineral City).
