Beautiful quiet park
Although it was a full house it was pretty peaceful and quiet at night. The beaches and picnic areas down by the water are great! Saturdays are busy.

Great overnight
The Ohio Turnpike Travel Plaza RV spaces are in a level paved lot, pull-through and equipped with electric hookups. The cost is only $20 but the machine only takes cash.

GuideEast Harbor State Park Campground
Clean, adequate state park
We came when there had been a lot of rain, the original site we had reserved had a lot of standing water and mud and a big drop off the paved area, so we asked if we could switch. For a $6 change fee we were able to move. They do have some full hookup sites, but those are hard to come by. It is a huge campgeound and the sites are all very close to one another. The bathrooms were clean, I didn't use the showers, but they looked clean. They had a small, simple laundry facility that worked as needed. The hiking in the park wasn't too exciting. There is a disk golf course wr checked out, but it was pretty rainy off and on during our stay so we didn't play. Biking within the Park was good, with some well laid out paths. Overall nothing too exciting, but very adequate for what we needed to explore a little of what Lake Erie has to offer.

Bed bug infested! Poorly managed. This place has gone down hill!
We had to leave in the middle of the night due to a bed bug infestation. We let staff know we were putting our belongings out side and would come back in the morning. When we came back in the morning the owner would not issue a refund and instead insulted us. The whole situation was so unbelievably weird. I wish I would've read through all the reviews before booking. This seems to be an ongoing issue with them and the owner couldnt be less bothered. People like him are the reason Ohio bed bug issue will remain a problem! What we thought was going to be relaxed getaway turned out to be a very expensive nightmare. The craziest part of it all is this happend Friday evening/ Saturday morning and as of Monday he is already trying to rent that same cabin out to another family on camping sites. Don't go to Camp Sandusky. Its not worth it. I hope this helps someone!

Nice stop
Sterling State Park, Quick Two-Night Stay
We stopped at Sterling State Park for two nights and had a really nice stay. We were on an electric-only site, but the view and the short walk to the beach were awesome.
If you can score one of the sites along the edge of the campground that overlooks the beach, or one that backs up to the woods, I’d definitely recommend it. Those sites have a much better setting. Most of the other sites are more out in the open, with very little shade and not much of a view.
The central part of the campground feels busy and crowded, but surprisingly, most of the sites are actually spaced out pretty well. We didn’t use the bathhouse, so we can’t comment on its cleanliness or condition.
The campground itself was neatly mowed, and the staff seemed to do a good job keeping up with the grounds and general maintenance. We didn’t notice much trash or anything else that would be a negative.
The beach right in front of the campground was probably our favorite part. It was clean, spacious, and never seemed particularly busy while we were there.
Overall, Sterling State Park was a great stop for a couple of nights. If you can get one of the better-located sites, especially along the beach or woods, it makes the stay even better.
Justin O.GuideLake Hudson Recreation Area
Pretty average
Had to buy this campsite because there’s damn near nothing for dispersed in Michigan. Lotta kids screaming into the night, campsites are in sight of each other, lots of mosquitoes, but yknow what can you really expect? I think upwards of $30 is a rip-off, I can’t even find an electrical hook-up if I wanted one. Granted, I got here at night and didn’t look very hard. It’d be 5 stars if it were 15 bucks, which is what I think its worth.

NOT A FAMILY CAMPGROUND
Not a safe environment for children. The little man at the desk is ok with it too, he claims he kicked us all out but my video I took when confronting him on the situation differs. He also keeps deleting reviews and replying back with blatant lies. If you read through the negative reviews you can see he can’t admit when he’s wrong, it’s always everyone else who’s wrong. I don’t want money back from this joke of a campground and I don’t care what the owner has to say. What I want is to save everyone else from wasting a perfectly good camping trip on a trashy place. It was so bad we DECIDED on our own to leave and camp elsewhere. Aside from the sketchy seasonal campers, the amenities also are trash. The pond is all muck, sites are water and electric only with dirt pads. I have never seen such a hillbilly set up. The pool is ok. Dump station was probably my favorite amenity, dumping our tanks to leave that place! But even that is set up at the entrance so when dumping you can block the incoming campers. I will never be back to this place, let me verify with the video I took, WE WERE NOT KICKED OUT. We left on our own because our CHILDREN DID NOT FEEL SAFE!

South Bass Island State Park Campground
Well run state park
Some sites have full hookup. Some have just electric. Some are for tents only. Several bath houses that are dated but surprisingly clean. There are not trash receptacles everywhere but rather one area with several dumpsters. Sites are blacktop paved with various degrees of levelness. The whole campground is shaded so can get muddy after rain and smokey from campfires. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring. Park staff are helpful and camp hosts do a great job. All in all a good for a state park.

Birding expeditions: Maumee Bay State Park Campground offers excellent bird watching opportunities with strategically placed bird houses and feeders throughout the park. "This park is very well maintained. Bird houses and feeders are located throughout the park and especially in the spring, you can hear many varieties of birds chirping," notes Lee D.

Water activities: Several sites offer fishing ponds or lake access within walking distance. "There are several lakes are good for fishing or boating. Many trails, some grassy and some paved are good for walking, running, and biking," according to Lee D.
Explore historic Grand Rapids: Mary Jane Thurston State Park Campground connects to the nearby historic village. "There are lots of bike trails as the towpath trail goes through the park and it even leads into the little town of Grand Rapids. A quaint town with lots of antiques store and boutique with a brewery and pizza shop," reports Andrea F.
What campers like
Private campsites: White Oak Campground offers more secluded sites compared to other options. "The sites are very nicely spaced and shaded, and not right on the parking lot. There are no showers, but there are bathrooms with flush toilets. The firewood is free, which is amazing," remarks Cassandra C.
Clean facilities: Many campgrounds maintain well-kept bathrooms and showers. "Welcoming at its core! Nice sites, a great little lake to swim another area to fish. They had great fireworks and simple outdoor fun," shares Beth G. about Big Sandy Campground.
Boardwalk experiences: Several campgrounds feature wooden walkways through wetland areas. "A beautiful and extensive boardwalk constructed by the Ohio Civilian Conservation Corps is available only for foot traffic," mentions Lee D. about Maumee Bay State Park.
Dishwashing stations: White Oak Campground provides practical amenities for tent campers. "There is also a dish washing station near the restrooms, with a huge sink and hot water," notes Cassandra C.
What you should know
Marshy conditions: Some sites experience wet ground, especially after rainfall. "We stayed there in early May, we didn't have reservations so they had three sites open. We took the driest spot we could find. The ground was soft and marshy," advises Jeffery R. about Maumee Bay State Park.
Reservation requirements: Wiregrass Lake Metropark and many other sites require advanced booking, especially on weekends. "3 camp sites available near fishable wiregrass lake in wiregrass metropark. Open year round. Firewood provide. Reservation required," Kevin H. explains.
Insects near water: Bug protection is essential, particularly in warmer months near lakes. "My only tip would be to bring plenty of bug spray in the summer, there are lots of bugs that come off the lake," cautions Kayla H.
Limited shower access: Some campgrounds have limited shower facilities. "Each bathhouse only has two shower stalls, which may necessitate a wait when the campground is full," warns Lee D.
Tips for camping with families
Playground options: Many campgrounds offer multiple play areas for children of different ages. "The most well kept, private, beautiful campground I've been to so far. We were truly amazed at the park, the HUGE beach on lake Erie, the inland Beach, the 2-mile boardwalk through the wetlands, the Big Hill, and the nature center," shares Daniel U. about Maumee Bay State Park.
Swimming considerations: Toledo East-Stony Ridge KOA provides pool access during summer months. "Guests and staff were nice. There's a nice pool and playground. Showers and toilets were fine. We only stayed one night but would stay again if passing through," mentions Chelsea T.
Evening temperatures: Even in summer, nights can get cool requiring extra layers. "Also make sure you bring jackets and blankets, even in the summer it can get pretty cool in the evening," advises Kayla H.
Security awareness: Some areas require additional precautions. "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," notes Lee D.
Tips from RVers
Hookup locations: Check the positioning of hookups before arrival as some are inconveniently placed. "Full hookup but sewer connection was at very back of spot. We used dump station," reports Jackie M. about Mary Jane Thurston State Park.
Site dimensions: Sites vary significantly in width and length. "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," observes Lee D.
Off-highway convenience: For those traveling through the area, several accessible options exist off major routes. "Simplicity at its finest. Highway stop is open 24 hrs so you have food and bathrooms all night. Everything is bright, nice and clean and feels very safe. Free overnight stay allowed and for extra $20 you can get electricity," notes Randall K.
Dump station access: Some campgrounds have dump stations in separate locations. "The only odd thing was your potable water and dump station were located at the Marina about a 1/4 mile down the road. Not a huge deal but a little inconvenient," mentions Andrea F.
