  Timber Ridge Campgrounds

  Great Experience

  We stayed at Timber Ridge for a month and found this to be a very nice campground. Stores are very level, full hookups, fishing pond, amazing indoor swimming pool. Staff was extremely nice. Many if the campers are long term but have several overnight doors as well.

  We stayed in a 29ft Travel Trailer, but sites could handle the largest of rigs.

  wonderful people

  we enjoyed our time at Sunset Springs. the owners are very friendly and accommodating. facilities are clean and modern, and the grounds very nice. work is underway to continuously improve the sites previously dominated by long term seasonals. new pull through are perfect for our 40 foot motorhome.

  we will return there if in the area.

  thank you to Brian, Cassie and Judy!

  Sandusky Milan RV Park

  Easy, nice stop

  This campground is right off of interstate 80, and a very easy stop! Clean bathrooms/showers, mostly level sites, full hook ups available, tent area available, nice pool and play area. Sites are good size in length, but pretty close to your neighbor. Enough space to sit, but not much room. Only about 15 minutes to Cedar Point which is a nice, easy drive. Not much in the camp store and not many opportunities to shop nearby.

  South Bass Island State Park Campground

  Older park, tents have the best view

  This campground is perfect for tents, as they get to camp right on the water. The electric/full hook up sites are pretty close together considering it’s a state park. There are very few full hook up sites. The dump station is on an incline and the inlet pipe is a foot off the ground which makes dumping challenging.

  Findley State Park Campground

  First Outing

  Classic woods car/trailer camping. This is our families "home" park since it is so close. There needs to be a lot of cleanup, the woods inbetween sites and overrun with dead and falling trees. Overall it is just as I expect from year to year ever since I was a little kid.

  Lighthouse Point at Cedar Point

  You pay for the experience

  Very much the quintessential RV park. Overpriced, but you are really paying to be close to the amusement park.

  Full hookups. Nice pool, close to the beach. Clean bathrooms and showers. Fully stocked store. Close to neighbors, but some well-placed shrubbery makes it feel private.
  Camping here allows an hour early into the park.

  Toledo East-Stony Ridge KOA

  Small basic campground near Toledo

  Our site was $59.95 a night.

  We were in Site# 504. We had Full hook- up with a gravel pull-through.
  We travel towing a 14 foot trailer and were able to fit both in our pull through site along with my jeep. The site was easy to level. We were charged $25 additional for my jeep since we were towing the trailer. We also were charged $10 because we arrived at 1:25 PM and check-in is at 2 PM. The park was close to empty so arriving early was not an inconvenience. We drove ourselves to our spot (no escort).

  Our site was shaded with lots of trees. This was a smaller lot with our neighbors fairly close.

  The lot comes with a concrete patio with picnic table and fire ring. They sell wood for $6 a bundle.

  There is free WiFi, although not strong. They offer Cable TV and there are many channels.

  There is not a community outdoor kitchen or community fire pit.

  They pickup your garbage at your site daily before noon.

  You are allowed to ride personal golf carts. They do not provide golf cart rentals. There is really not a need to have a Golf cart because it is a smaller campground.

  They do have a Swimming pool but it is currently closed due to maintenance (although it just looked closed- no signs of maintenance being done).

  There is a Playground. They also offer horseshoes, corn hole, giant jinga.

  They have a basic general store. There are not scheduled activities for kids.

  There is not a snack bar/restaurant on site.

  The streets are gravel so not great for riding bikes. This is an RV park with tent camping and cabins to rent.

  They have one shower house. The shower house has individual bathrooms with your own sink, shower, toilet. These are kept very clean.

  There is a laundry facility. It is a cash only facility, but they have a change machine. There are approximately 4 washers and 4 dryers. It is approximately $2.50 to wash and $2.50 to dry a load.

  They have a small fenced in dog park.

  There isn’t tons to doin the actual city of Perryville. But Toledo is a 20 minute drive.

  Sunset Lake Campground

  Friendly and quiet

  My wife and I visited in early May 2023, they were just starting to open things up after drying out. The camp hosts were super friendly about helping get us arranged and everything we needed. Many long-term residents here and they seemed friendly and kept the place looking nice. Many of the sites are grassy and I could see the potential to get stuck if you ended up in heavy rains. Mobile service was decent in most parts of the park although our spot F30 was on the fringe for usable video.

  Findley State Park Campground

  Not full hook up

  We only had a brief stay but it was a very nice park. The only downfall I saw is that it is not full hook up in most spots. It looked like there was a lot to do and it was a nice family place. Everyone was out and about.

  East Harbor State Park Campground

  East harbor state park

  Very clean. Close to everything you need close to ferry clean showers camp monitors were friendly sites are paved. 50/30 amp hookups Our site was just a standard electric site. They do have 150 full hook up sites or more. We made our reservations late we were not really concerned about water or sewer as we planned to use the camp ground facilities anyway. Fresh water is available to fill your holding tanks. Dump stations are easily acceptable as are water filling stations Big Boopers restaurant is a great place for breakfast lunch or dinner. If you do t feel like cooking it’s about a 10 min drive. Campground has very good WiFi. We have Verizon had very good reception inland and I. The islands. Bass island is a fun day trip. Sites were level left to right. Had a slight pitch front to back.

  3 days of rest

  great except weather, but the park is a favorite of mine. came lots of times when I was a child, brought my 2 boys every year when they were young, now enjoying same park in retirement. lots of walking trails, beach not so perfect, only 15 spots with full hook up, but is a great place to get back with nature. shut off the social media, and enjoy.

  South Bass Island State Park Campground

  Great views but inland sites are party city during summer weekends

  Both tent camping and RV/Trailer camping. A few Yurts to rent also which are somewhat isolated from the other camping areas. Reservations can be made exactly 6 months in advance and only a few sites are kept open for walk ins anymore. The sites along the cliff overlooking the lake have fabulous views but are ONLY for tents and one should NOT camp there with small kids.

  The RV camp sites and many of the other camp sites are inland from the cliff and while wooded are generally very close together and most do NOT have a lake view. The ONLY quiet areas in the campgrounds on the weekends are the cliff tent areas since it is a party island and the young people camping in the interior areas seem to never go to bed.  

  The Park has a rocky beach (shoes NECESSARY) which is actually a nice swimming area if you aren't looking for sand under your feet or blanket.  That beach is the only free public place to swim on the island (some hotels do have pools). That beach area is a great area though to launch a kayak or sailboard to use in the cove. There is also a regular boat ramp for larger boats or jet skis.  NO overnight boat tie ups at this state park dock (some at the downtown state park, but those are hard to snag)

  The town is about 1.5 miles down the road and easy to get to via bicycle or island taxi - vehicle parking very limited if you try to drive into town. and the town has numerous bars and restaurants with lots of live entertainment on the weekends. 

  The town is definitely a"party" location on the weekends during the summer months. and there is a very pretty and active harbor there, usually with 100 to 200 boats including some in the 40 to 50 foot range in the harbor on the weekends. 

  The slow ferry to the island (Miller) is the car ferry and it has free parking if you can leave your vehicle behind on the mainland and transport your stuff to the campgrounds via a bike trailer or some other way (about a mile+ from the ferry dock to the state park). If you do take your vehicle over note that the wait time to bring it back on a Sunday while usually 2 to 3 hours can also be up to 6 hours from when you get in line (beware the Miller ferry stops running about 8pm, ie: near sunset). Usually little or no wait time when bringing a vehicle or RV back mid week.

  Pick when you want to go depending upon how much you enjoy noise and partying.  Mid week during the summer season is the best time for those who aren't into 24 hour partying and weren't able to snag a cliff side camp site.  Kelly's Island is quieter and has a nice natural sand beach, so better for weekend trips if going with a family, or if you definitely need a sand beach.  If bands, noise, drinking, and people watching are your desire, well this is the place to go on a summer weekend (ala Key West party atmosphere)

  Vermilion Valley Ohio Turnpike RV Lot

  Clean, Cheap and Safe place to stop for the night

  Pulled in to the RV parking area around 9:45 pm, there was one other vehicle there. 3 more came and parked before midnight. Felt completely safe and not crowded by the campers on either side. The actual service station across the way was incredibly clean and comfortable. 3 or 4 restaurants, Starbucks, maps and guidebooks available. Best $20 nights sleep I ever got.

  Findley State Park Campground

  Very charming park

  This park had a few cool things we haven't seen at the other state parks yet. Cute things like a bike repair station that holds your bike and has tethered tools to use, an outdoor "take a book, leave a book" library with a "take a stick, leave a stick" area for the dogs, dog tie ups and dog pick up bags around the entire park and a Storybook trail that has storybook characters throughout the hike. There is a very small but interactive nature center with a live bee hive and a small store, many picnic areas, tons of parking to access the various lake and trails, including a medium size beach with restrooms and a seasonal concession stand.

  We stayed at site 210 and absolutely loved it. It is one of the larger sites, separated by trees and plenty of spots to hang some hammocks. One site over was one of the MANY paths to the MANY trails throughout the entire park. I'm not sure I've ever seen so many hiking and biking trails in a single location and is clearly one of the parks biggest attractions. The trail behind our site went along the lake that you could just see through the woods from our site and branched off in many directions. We stayed "out of season" and during the week so it was extremely peaceful and vacant. The shower houses were very modern and well kept. My only issue was the showerheads being under 6' high on the walls was a bit awkward. Also, cell service was surprisingly good at our actual site but extremely spotty anywhere else in the park. I have Mint (T-mobile/Sprint) and my wife has Verizon. 

  Now for the neutrals and negatives. All sites, except for the few full hook-ups and handicap sites, are gravel and not the most level. The park only has flush toilets in the couple shower houses. The latrines' throughout the park are a mix from very new style latrines' with LED lights, to rental porta-potties. Maybe due to it being so late in the season but the latrine in the center of our cul-de-sac was extremely full, smelled at our site quite often and was more full of sewer flies then I have ever seen. 

  The majority of the campsites are non-electric. These areas are much more tree covered and seem to have much larger sites. Unfortunately, these are also the majority of the areas with the rental porta-potties.

  Cedarlane RV Resort

  Great family campground

  This campground has a little bit of everything. Rv parking, tent sites and several cabins to rent. Rates are decent. Has lots of stuff for kids to do. Pools are small and can be a little crowded during the summer on weekends. They have a great splash pad and wading pool for kids. There is a new Tiki Hut to get adult drinks. A gem mine. Horseshoes, basketball court and lots of kids activities. Nice camp store that carries a little of everything. This is our second trip there.

  Willow Lake Park Inc

  Seems like a good deal, but with extra charges

  This was a nice spot with lots of family activities. Lots were pretty large and well maintained. But this is more of a local hangout with a ton of permanent spots. There aren’t any signs to follow to lead you to the campground. I prepaid in full with no refund because it was a holiday weekend. They don’t have the technology to email you a confirmation or receipt, so you either have to hope they have your reservation or call ahead to confirm. Never did get a copy of my receipt. They have a bunch of rules about visitors, and charge you for every single person (yes, there is a person at the gate checking passes!). Permanent residents were racing through the campground on their golf carts and blaring music. I was disappointed we didn’t get a full hook-up site, only to find out they don’t have any (and this is a large campground!). But, for a prepaid fee, you can schedule an appointment to have someone come by and dump you out. I overheard our neighbors say they would never stay there again, so I asked what their experience had been. They complained about the loud neighbors, charges for visitors (had to pay $70 for one day!), and they paid for a dump but the person never showed up. For such a large campground they only have two bathroom spots. Bathrooms by the pool were full of sand and flies, and could have been better stocked.

  Spotless

  Concrete pads. Level! Full hookups were simple to use. The pool area was super clean. One of the thinks I liked best was there was a garbage can on every site! If you can, get a super patio site. Really cool and fun. Not sure if it was just me, but seemed to be lots of spider cob webs.
