One night at site A

Really awesome spot. Site was a walk-in site with plenty of room. Fire wood and kindling were at the site waiting for us when we got there. We had a perfect view of the sunset from the site. Sounds from the lake and birds. The site is enough away from the path that you have completely privacy. Really a super cool place to camp.

A couple things… we had two ticks on us relatively soon after getting there but didn’t see any others all night. So be especially careful if you have pets! Also, there was a firefly run that took place in the park starting at 8:45pm. It was a big event with music and tons of people that we could hear from our site…so just check the event schedule before you book if that’s going to bug you!

Would 100% book again!

Awesome Sites on Lake Erie

Walk in sites with a beautiful view of Lake Erie! Quiet, clean, well kept! Provided firewood was great! Able to watch Eagles soaring over Lake Erie listening to the waves hit the bluff below! Stayed at campsite B but we were able to look at A also! Site A is a closer walk but I personally liked the setup of site B better! No direct access to water from sites but swimming areas and dog beach within the park!
