This site in the Dyrt is all messed up

This is a very nice and a mature and modern campground right across the road from the East Crossing Campground and not the NCT remote campground which does exist as well. This is managed by the COE just like Mel Ryman and Eggerts. Anyway, there are 30 some modern spots with most right on the water, pit toilets and trash pickup and a dump station. Several spigots throughout the park. Spot 19 has deep shade and a great view of the water.

Beautiful site

This is a remote site along the North Country Trail. It's well maintained, has personalized benches around a custom fire pit. There's a pit toilet hiding in the woods next to it.

Excellent Campground for the Family

I grew up camping along Lake Ashtabula. This is a great campground for the family; nice park, friendly campers, nice swimming area and an excellent place to watch fireworks on the 4th of July.

Confused but good

We had paid for the campsite before we got there, and when we got there, there was no camp host and absolutely no one at the campground. We were confused because across the lake we could see at least 10 tents set up. I also thought $26 was a little steep to stay the night.

The camp ground had many trees though, which i love. And it was very close to the boat ramp, we liked the camp ground, but i imagine if the campground were full that it would be very crowded. Also it had recently rained and the campsites down hill (closest to the lake) had puddles of water.
