"A great campground in Ohio. So clean and so many things to do. Campsites are close together but they do honor quiet hours. Great trail around the lake and a fun and challenging disc golf course."
"this is probably my favorite park in Ohio . it’s always clean people are so friendly and the lake is just beautiful !"
$32 - $1 / night
"We did stay in a Travel Trailer next to seasonal campers and they were very kind and helpful. The lot size was ok...not spacious but not as small as I've experienced."
"Everyone in the office is so polite and courteous, the grounds, office, bathrooms, and showers are spotless, tons of amenities and close to the highway but far enough away for a little hideaway of awesomeness"
"This is a little ways off the beaten path but it’s worth it, especially for the price. Very clean and green!"
"We stopped for overnight on our travels and found a neat community campground across from a park with a lake. It was filled with families and scuba divers on the weekend."
"Just a short walk or bike ride to Lake Erie via a paved path. I highly recommend taking a bike, as there are so many trails and paths to ride throughout the park."
"This park is close to Toledo and within spitting distance of several refineries although you’d never know it! "
"We stayed in a pull thru site which we felt was a really nice size and was wishing the weather was better so we could enjoy some outside time. The bathhouse was nice, clean, and updated."
"Convenient location nearby downtown Perrysburg."
"Nice site on an island in Northern Ohio."
"The campsites are located close to one another, and there is little tree cover between the sites which could potentially make for a less enjoyable experience at busier times of the year."
ScoutWelcoming atmosphere. Sites were crowded but had excellent tree coverage. Over half of the campground appeared to be residents who lived there full time. Bathrooms were clean. Overall, this campground meets expectations but would not be one I would return to because it feels more like a trailer park than a campground.
GuideThis campground has easy access to the beach on Lake Erie.
There are full hookups as well as power only sites.
The park also has several public access areas and beaches.
Hiking and biking trails are also present and the bathroom facilities are clean and we'll maintained.
Some time in June you can expect May Flies aka Fish Flies. Plan accordingly.
Finally, I've never been to this park when it wasn't very windy.
ScoutCheck in crew were real nice. Most sites have some trees. Large playground for kids if you have them. Pedestals worked fine. Plenty of garbage dumpsters. Have waste water stations and a potable water station. Plenty of park area and sites were spaced average apart. 2 dump stations are well graded so everything drains well. Shore line near by and beach a couple minutes walk. Bathrooms are just ok. Would definitely stop back.
ScoutThis was a great all mens camping experience. A nice pool, clean amenities, and a bunch of welcoming campers made our weekend a lot of fun.
ScoutThis place is one of the worst camp place I’ve ever stayed at. I paid $60 for the night loud noise from the highway. Showers didn’t even have hot water. They only had two showers out of the whole place. Nothing to do here people running the place are extremely rude. They really don’t want to hear. I guess that’s why they charge over the price of a normal campsites I have been to campsites that are free. They are beautiful compared to this place is just a big garbage can I wouldn’t waste my time and my money to ever come to a place like this
GuideStayed just one night on our way up to the UP. Was relatively quite as it was midweek in May. Could get busy and sites are close together but no one was around. Some nice walking and birding trails from the site.
ScoutSite D10 was massive, had a creek running alongside of it. And was hidden behind lots of trees. Will be back
GuideVery nice campground, it’s large so if you’re walking around, remember to take a map. The campground is right on the shore of Lake Erie, there are a few restaurants nearby. The sites vary in size, lots of shade trees where we camped. There are picnic tables and fire rings, some sites have FHUs, some standard electric, and of course, primitive.
LegendGeneral: Large state park with 256 campsites, all with electric (20-30-50 amp) hookups. Sites 1-11 and 21-29 have full hookups (water, sewer, electric). Also, there are a lodge and cabins. The park is very well maintained. This park is close to Toledo and within spitting distance of several refineries although you’d never know it!
Site Quality: All sites are very generous in size and appear to be spaced with a decent amount of space apart with foliage providing varying levels of privacy. Some have beautiful trees that in peak fall color would be stunning. All camper pads are paved and long enough to accommodate large RVs. Some have concrete pads for picnic tables, although the sites in our loop did not. A wooden picnic table and fire ring complete each site.
Restroom/Shower house: Very clean, however, bathhouses are shared between two loops. Each bathhouse only has two shower stalls, which may necessitate a wait when the campground is full. A hook and a small bench but nowhere to put soap/shampoo in the shower. Good warm water.
Activities/Amenities: So much to do! Several lakes are good for fishing or boating. Many trails, some grassy and some paved are good for walking, running, and biking. A beautiful and extensive boardwalk constructed by the Ohio Civilian Conservation Corps is available only for foot traffic. Bike rentals are available. A small camp store. Laundry facilities. Donuts and muffins on the weekends. Several playgrounds. Bird houses and feeders are located throughout the park and especially in the spring, you can hear many varieties of birds chirping (however, you will also experience the by-products of so many birds!). Excellent cell service (Verizon). There is also a dump station.
There was a warning that due to the proximity to an urban area campers, bikes, etc. should be locked up but I didn't feel that vibe.
We enjoyed two stays at this campground, once in September and once in May. Even though this large campground was full when we were there on a weekend in September, we did not feel overcrowded. There were many empty campsites when we were there during the week in May (the week before Memorial Day); we very much enjoyed our stay both times!
