GuideEarly evening online reservation..a tad challenging finding the site upon our arrival but we managed ok......decent site near pool, fairly level, safe, secure,clean bath house, reasonably priced for an out of state visitor. Highly recommend....Would visit again if I pass through this region in the future
ScoutWe were greeted by a very friendly staff and had very little trouble finding our spot. Park has several mobile homes and long-term campers, but that did not detract from our experience. Our pull through was nice and level. Would stop in again if we're ever back this way.
ScoutOur stay was in an RV Sept 2026. I had specifically requested and paid extra for a spot on the fishing pond to fish. Not only was there a lot of long-term campers at this resort, but the fishing pond was covered in duck weed over 3/4 of the water where my site was at, and on the day we left it was 100% covered with duck week. The duck week invasion was not mentioned to me when I called and made the reservation to be on the water. In fairness, I will say I caught some fish at the clear end of the pond before it was 100% covered.
The park itself was clean, quiet and decent. The staff were very nice. The Aqua fun zones water is not clear blue as advertised, it is murky, the 9 hole mini golf is outdated and should be called mini-mini golf as it is very small. The swimming pool and playground were as advertised. I cannot answer to the other amenities as I did not see or utilize them.
In conclusion, this campground could benefit greatly from some updating especially of the amenities as they are not what the pictures portray.
RangerStopped for the night while passing through Ohio. Conveniently off the main hwy. The staff at the office were super helpful and friendly and the office was open until 7 on the Sunday we can by. Most sites where we were (#203) were pull through a on concrete. There’s a pool also - although we didn’t have time to check it out. The dump station provides the “stinky slinky” so you don’t have to use yours 🙃 Nice big lake for boats and fishing.
ScoutIt's a nice campground, convenient to the Interstate, but the sites are very close together, so you'd better be on good terms with your neighbor. Having cable and a cafe that delivers to your site is a real plus, but the wifi if iffy.
RangerNice playground for kids, public trees all over but our site didn’t have private trees for hammocks.
The lake was nice, had water snakes.
ScoutCampground is nice people are friendly but playground for the kids was not in the camping area it was across the street in another area of the park. Really well maintained and close to town
ScoutThe bathhouse is spotless. Campground is quiet and peaceful and sites are not on top of eachother.
TravelerWe arrived without a reservation hoping this place would have availability, and luckly for us, they did. We stayed in a back- in space that has full hookups. It's pretty quiet, is surrounded by beautiful scenery/open fields. The area has a restaurant, bakery and a small historical village for visiting.

Northwest Ohio's flat terrain creates ideal conditions for numerous inland lakes and water-based recreation opportunities. Winter temperatures typically drop below freezing from December through February, affecting campground availability and requiring proper preparation for cold-weather stays.

"There is a small beach that seemed popular, although the signs warning about all the dangers in the lake made us question entering the water for swimming," notes one visitor who appreciated the alternative recreational options.

"It's very close to oak openings state Forest and a short drive to shopping and eating, great place for bird watching and fishing," explains a camper who valued the natural surroundings.
