Best Campgrounds near Lindsey, OH

446 Reviews

Campgrounds near Lindsey, Ohio provide multiple accommodation options in northern Ohio's Lake Erie region. Wooded Acres Campground in Lindsey offers tent and RV sites with electric hookups and year-round availability. Within 20 miles, campers can access more developed facilities at East Harbor State Park and Maumee Bay State Park, both offering cabins, yurts, and glamping options alongside traditional tent and RV sites. White Star Park Campground in Gibsonburg, approximately 10 miles south of Lindsey, maintains sites with electric hookups and drinking water from April through November.

Many campgrounds in the region maintain seasonal operations, with several only open from April through October. The most developed sites with full hookups, particularly at state parks, tend to book quickly during summer months. East Harbor and Maumee Bay State Parks provide water access and are especially popular for their Lake Erie proximity, requiring advance reservations for summer weekends. Fall and spring camping offers more availability and comfortable temperatures, while winters can be harsh with snow and freezing temperatures common. A camper noted, "This park is huge. There is so much to do here, we didn't leave the park at all! Just a short walk or bike ride to Lake Erie via a paved path."

The waterfront location defines the camping experience at many sites near Lindsey. Several visitors highlighted Lake Erie access as a primary attraction, with multiple campgrounds offering beach areas, fishing opportunities, and water recreation. Maumee Bay State Park features both lake and inland water access, extensive paved bike paths, and spacious sites with good privacy. According to reviews, sites with lake views are particularly sought after, though they require early booking. Campers report that while some locations like Wooded Acres maintain a more rustic, country atmosphere, the state parks offer more amenities and activities. One reviewer described East Harbor State Park as "a great campground in Ohio. So clean and so many things to do. Campsites are close together but they do honor quiet hours."

    Van Buren State Park Campground

    Cozy

    Some of the sites are small so you have to be careful which you site you reserve if you’re a tent camper. The outside of the circle is your best bet and there’s a few scattered in the middle. If you can get a good middle spot it’s nice if you have kids since there’s a playground, swings, basketball, and tether court. No running water for bathrooms if that’s important for you. The park is also just off a country road so traffic can occasionally be heard but it’s not excessive. Grounds are very well maintained and the hosts were very nice.

    Mary Jane Thurston State Park Campground

    Lots to do here

    The camp sites on the river are excellent. Some sights are by the highway. They are still nice, but lots of road noise. There is no water at the camp sites, but water is available. There are no shower facilities. There are great hiking trails and a nice frisbee golf course.

    Great place to camp!

    I had a great time at this location. It was clean, had everything that was needed and was a perfect location near the lake. I'll be sure to stay here again in the future!

    East Harbor State Park Campground

    Beautiful but Buzzy

    I booked one night here for the amenities on a cross-country trip.

    The laundry, showers, and water fill stations were convenient/ well-maintained.

    I gave only 4-star however 2 reasons.

    1. for the 5hr lawn mowing caravan that started at 7am in every direction. I’m not even sure what they were mowing since the lawns looked freshly cut. It was obnoxious! And
    2. not enough signage. For example, I had to ask for directions to the laundry rooms and then they are quarter only with no change machine. I had to make a trip back to the office for change.

    Overall, a nice spot with all the amenities you could need. Plenty of room and nice multi-use trail to the beach was great!

    Van Buren State Park Campground

    Small and peaceful

    We stayed one night on our way to IN. We’ve never been here before and wanted to check it off our list. It’s a small campground with one side as equestrian and the other side not. All sites had electric and water, no full hookup. There were only drop toilets and no showers. They were clean but I don’t think I’d want to do more than a weekend there. It had a nice playground for kids and plenty of trails to hike or go horseback riding. They also had a dog park and small wildflower garden. The check in cabin had ice and wood for sale but no store. Our site was really nice. The pads were recently paved and had a huge bumper at the end. The fire ring was nice and the site had plenty of space for tents.

    Motorcycle Tent Camping

    Very friendly staff and clean facilities. Primarily a seasonal camper location but I found many open tent sites on a weekday. Nice grassy spot to pitch the tent, a rare luxury.

    East Harbor State Park Campground

    Nice park

    Stayed 2 nights. The bathrooms are decent, laundry facility is good and the sites are a good size. There are trails and beaches in the park. I found a disc golf course in the park, and I really enjoyed the layout’s layout. The main issue is the mosquitoes, on every tee pad I was swarmed by at least 50 mosquitoes. It was by far the most mosquitoes I’ve ever seen in one area. I was warned, so I sprayed before going. It helped, but they still buzzed around your head.
