      Blue Water Campground

      Our stay at bluewater

      The staff is extremely friendly, and try to accomadate with anything you could need. The campesites are fairly large with gravel pads. They offer water and electric hook-up for 30&50 amps. There is not a sewer hook up but they do offer a weekly pump out for a small fee and a dump station on the way out. The pool, ponds, playground and pavillion are all within walking distance from almost any site.

      Indian Lake State Park Campground

      FHUs Sites in a field

      PROS 

      Able to reserve 144 days prior to arriving 

      Very nice campground but the design leaves a lot to be desired 

      Friendly camp hosts who were busy picking up trash in common areas and cleaning sites Moveable picnic table 

      Metal fire ring with cooking grate 

      Site D45 level asphalt parking pad surrounded by grass 

      Great view of lake from D loop; some had water access at rear of site 

      Quiet except for campground party animals who kept it going into the wee hours of the morning 

      Coin-operated laundromats in non FHU loops $1.50 wash and $1 dry 

      Free WIFI available and able to connect at campsite 

      Dump Stations at Park exit have complimentary hoses 

      Camp store sells hard dipped ice cream 

      14 miles from the Airstream Service Center in Jackson Center 

      CONS 

      No senior discount

      $6.50 reservation fee for self made on-line reservation 

      Basically the FHU loops are out in a field…no privacy from neighbors and no shade what so ever 

      Grass around sites desperately needed mowed, if you could get thru the large mud puddles 

      FHU loop D has narrow roads and require driving on grass to back in trailer and some campers in other sites had to move their vehicles 

      Short length of campsite required creative parking of tow vehicle 

      Damn Canadian Geese poop every...what a mess! 

      Site number on electric utility box 

      FHU sewer connection at the back of the campsite so bring the looooong stinky slinky FHU loop D had tiny toilet building, but no showers; showers were in non-FHU loops 

      No entry gate personnel on a Friday afternoon to accomplish check-in. Went to park office next morning and was informed no check in required prior to Memorial Day. Never saw a Park ranger driving thru campground

      Arrowhead Lake RV Park & Campground

      Just a visit to check it out

      The pool looked to be the spot for the kids of all ages on this hot 4th of July. A well manicured campground, and while looking a bit narrow, it seemed some pull thrus for big rigs were adequate, with concrete pads and picnic tables. But all the driveways and pull thrus were gravel. Lots of seasonal trailers, and some large ones! No junk, and golf carts are restricted to electric.

      Grand Lake St. Marys State Park Campground

      Nice quiet campground

      The pull through area is very cramped; more like a parking lot; the campground is quiet; family friendly; no golf carts all over;

      Adventure Bound Pleasant View

      Wagner Subscriber Campout

      We stayed at this campground in the group camp area. The sites are tight but do provide water and 30 amp electric.

      The campground offers a pond for fishing , swimming pool , bounce pad , inflatable lake fun, dog park and mini golf.

      Since we were there as a group event we didn’t use any of the extras but it all looked nice and clean plus lots of fun.

      Cell coverage was spotty but you could usually get some kind of signal.

      The campground has a lot of seasonal sites as well as primitive tent camping and standard rv sites.

      Indian Lake State Park Campground

      Nice place but crowded area

      This was our last camping trip of the year and it was cold. The campground was nearly empty so that was nice but the surrounding area was very crowded. There was nearly no area on the lake that didn’t have houses. The campground was clean and well maintained. There are sites that have access to get out on the water via a small canal. Some sites had good shade, and others had no shade. Overall it was a nice place, but the lake seemed very busy, even in cold weather.

      Indian Lake State Park Campground

      Camping for families with children

      This is definitely a campground for families and for those who want lots of company in there experience. There are no wooded areas in the campground so all spaces are open to all the other camper. Some shaded areas but mostly open land. Lots of activities for kids and families and even movies and music on the weekend.full power both 30 and 50 amp at almost all site and strong wifi where I was.lots of things going on up until about 10 pm. Then it quiets down. Nice place for families who want outdoor activities.

      Sauder Village Campground

      Nice Campground with Lots of Amenities

      Really enjoyed this campground for the short amount of time we were in the area visiting family The park and facilities were very clean, sites were well-spaced, there is a nice walking/biking trail, and had full hook-ups.  This campground is associated with Historic Sauder Village – a living history destination in northern Ohio. (You can get discount admission to the village if you stay in the campground.) The campground filled up on the weekend but emptied out on Sunday. The RV sites are long, level, and have either 50 amp full hook-up or water and electric only. Tent sites are scattered along the pond which made for a nice view; except, the ridiculous number of geese meant there was poop everywhere along the shoreline and throughout the tent section. Staff does haze the geese but it was not enough to keep them away during the afternoon.

      A fee is charged to enter the historic village or you can ask for a “shoppers pass” and visit the stores inside the village. Located on the grounds (and within walking distance of the campground) is a restaurant, bakery, gift shop and hotel (which has an indoor pool, hot tub, and game room campers are allowed to use). The restrooms, laundry, and showers were very clean and relatively new. Other amenities include basketball, shuffleboard, horse shoes, splash pad, volleyball, corn holes, lake for fishing, and free WiFi. There are a couple of covered group picnic areas available for anyone to use which is nice if you have a big group wanting to get together. 

      The campground is about four miles south of the Ohio Turnpike (I-80/90) which is pretty convenient if you are just passing through and looking for a place to stay overnight. The town of Archbold is pretty small but does have a decent grocery and restaurants. The nearby town of Bryan is larger and has a really funky brewery/restaurant housed an old church (Father Johns).
