Several campgrounds provide spacious sites where pets can comfortably stay with families. Tall Timbers Campground features a pond and beach area where leashed pets can accompany owners, though swimming access for dogs varies by location. Camp Sandusky maintains pet-friendly tent sites and cabins but lacks clear site boundary markers, which can cause occasional confusion for campers with animals. Most campsites include fire rings and picnic tables where pets can rest beside their owners during meals. The Leafy Oaks RV Park and Campground offers a secluded wooded tent area popular with dog owners seeking a more natural setting, though visitors note it only provides portable toilet facilities rather than full bathrooms in this section. Bug spray is essential when camping with pets in this region, particularly during summer months.

    Middle Ridge/Vermilion Valley Rest Area

    Hook up, dump station, quiet and immaculate rest stop ad well.

    This is a test area on the Ohio Turnpike. Rv owners can self pay $20 to stay overnight. Quiet area away from the semis and common parking lot, but super close still to the plaza. The plaza offers 5 restaurants and vending machines, a gift shop, and clean restrooms. Sufficient area to exercise pets.

    Sandusky-Bayshore KOA

    Nice campground

    We have stayed here twice and will definitely be back. Both times at the end of September. Nice campground, friendly staff, store is well stocked for anything you may have forgotten. The playground and jump mat for kids is awesome. They usually have some kind of activity for kids on weekends. We travel with 2 large Labrador retrievers and love being able to let them play off leash in the kamp k9 dog park. The sites are a little close together and the train is loud but other than that, it’s a wonderful place to stay. Very close to Cedar Point.

    Adventure Bound Pleasant View

    Wagner Subscriber Campout

    We stayed at this campground in the group camp area. The sites are tight but do provide water and 30 amp electric.

    The campground offers a pond for fishing , swimming pool , bounce pad , inflatable lake fun, dog park and mini golf.

    Since we were there as a group event we didn’t use any of the extras but it all looked nice and clean plus lots of fun.

    Cell coverage was spotty but you could usually get some kind of signal.

    The campground has a lot of seasonal sites as well as primitive tent camping and standard rv sites.

    Adventure Bound Pleasant View

    Nice Campground for a Group Event

    This is our second time camping here and both times were for a group camping event. For this type of event it’s a great park. We had a whole sector the event with water and electric sites.

    If we were going to camp here on our own I am not sure I would like it since it’s mostly set up for seasonal campers. So there are no hiking trail and there is also a lot of golf cart traffic.

    They do offer a swimming pool , pond with inflatable slides , dog park , bound pad and miniature golf.

    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.
