    Service Plaza - Blue Heron Overnight Parking

    A rest area with electric

    This is a convenient place to pull over and sleep for the night with cheap electric- 20 dollars for the night. There’s a Starbucks in the service center.

    Mary Jane Thurston State Park Campground

    $34 per night for tent (primitive) camping

    It's expensive to stay here, but at least it's a place to park. And it gets us closer to our destination. There are electric hook-ups on some sites, but it costs more. And they do have water. I didn't see a gray dump, but they probably do have one.

    East Harbor State Park Campground

    Spacious campground with nice beach on Lake Erie

    Ohio’s largest state park. Can accommodate big rigs. Most sites are electric, a few with full hookups. Many pull through sites. Very scenic

    Lighthouse Point at Cedar Point

    Nice RV sites. Can accommodate big rigs. Beautiful landscaping. Right on Sandusky bay.

    Van Buren State Park Campground

    Cozy

    Some of the sites are small so you have to be careful which you site you reserve if you’re a tent camper. The outside of the circle is your best bet and there’s a few scattered in the middle. If you can get a good middle spot it’s nice if you have kids since there’s a playground, swings, basketball, and tether court. No running water for bathrooms if that’s important for you. The park is also just off a country road so traffic can occasionally be heard but it’s not excessive. Grounds are very well maintained and the hosts were very nice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I find camping near Luna Pier, Michigan?

While Luna Pier itself has limited camping options, several excellent campgrounds are located within a short drive. Maumee Bay State Park Campground is just across the Ohio border, offering spacious sites with good privacy thanks to surrounding trees and shrubs. For a convenient overnight option, Cabela's Dundee provides a large parking area for RVs about 20 minutes north, with easy highway access and a pleasant walking path around a pond. Other nearby options include Harbortown RV Resort near Monroe and Monroe-Toledo North KOA in Petersburg, both offering full hookup sites for RVers traveling through the area.

What amenities are available at Luna Pier camping sites?

Lake Hudson Recreation Area features spacious, private sites separated by young forest, creating a secluded atmosphere perfect for nature lovers. Sites include electrical hookups (though you'll need a long cord). For more developed facilities, Harrison Lake State Park Campground provides level sites, many quite spacious for an Ohio state park, though without full hookups. Most campgrounds in the region offer basic amenities like water access, restrooms, and some electrical hookups, with the private RV parks typically providing full hookup options, shower facilities, and occasionally pools or recreational activities.

Is camping allowed on Luna Pier beach?

No, camping is not allowed directly on Luna Pier beach. Like most public beaches in Michigan, overnight camping is prohibited on Luna Pier's shoreline for safety and environmental reasons. For legitimate beach camping experiences near Luna Pier, consider Camp Sandusky which offers clean facilities and is located near water recreation, or Wayne County Fairgrounds RV Park which provides easy access off I-94. For true beachfront camping, head to Maumee Bay State Park which features not only camping but also access to a nice beach on Lake Erie and a second beach on an inland lake, offering the beach experience while following proper camping regulations.
