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."

    Service Plaza - Blue Heron Overnight Parking

    A rest area with electric

    This is a convenient place to pull over and sleep for the night with cheap electric- 20 dollars for the night. There’s a Starbucks in the service center.

    Mary Jane Thurston State Park Campground

    $34 per night for tent (primitive) camping

    It's expensive to stay here, but at least it's a place to park. And it gets us closer to our destination. There are electric hook-ups on some sites, but it costs more. And they do have water. I didn't see a gray dump, but they probably do have one.

    East Harbor State Park Campground

    Spacious campground with nice beach on Lake Erie

    Ohio’s largest state park. Can accommodate big rigs. Most sites are electric, a few with full hookups. Many pull through sites. Very scenic

    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.
