ScoutPool, nice playground, small putt putt course, rec room and other activities available. We are retired and just needed overnight camping and the only site available was tiny and right on the curve of the road. Our firepit and picnic table were less than 10 feet from the road so not private at all. We felt it was overpriced for the site. Others were better but none very private(smallish and no trees).
ScoutClean,quiet, convenient and easy access
TravelerCampground is well labeled and maintained. Sites are very very close together but this was expected. The bathhouses were extremely disappointing considering there are no full hookups and the price to stay here at a “resort.” They were both full of spider webs, had very dingy fixtures, and did not live up to the rest of the camp.
GuideWhy the Dyrt has this place listed under "glamping" is beyond me. This is very far from that. A state park, some FHU sites, some pull thru, but it's almost like camping in a prairie. There's so very few trees here, so almost every site will be full sun. Full, blisteringly hot, sun.
It's an ok campground, but that's it. Host (each time we were there) did nothing that we could see. People tend to drive fast here, even staff.
It's right on Lake Erie, which can be good/bad, depending on if the toxic algae blooms are occuring.
City of Monroe is nearby for whatever you might need. (Aldi, etc)
Even though this park is close, it's just not one we like to choose because of the barren feel of the place. (We've been here three times)
TravelerNeeded a last minute electrical hookup due to the heat, very pleased that OH turnpike offers a night for $20! Cash only at the self serve kiosk. Bathrooms at the rest stop are very clean. There are even a couple picnic tables next to a pretty marsh area. Our AC covered up any road noise easily.
RangerNice playground for kids, public trees all over but our site didn’t have private trees for hammocks.
The lake was nice, had water snakes.
ScoutWe were traveling home and needed a place to stay for the night and hoped for full hookup. Looked up and found this place and another that was reportedly 3x the number of sites who was having a big hog roast that evening. This was the largest campground we stayed at during our 2 week trip and our first RV trip generally. The spaces were close (tight) and thankfully we had a small class C. Many seemed to be permanent with full builds of patios and covers. Firepits at each site were old tire rims. Quiet hours are late (11 PM) and we are not late people. Probably fine if you want to spend time engaging with everyone around you, you sleep well and have good sound dampening in your rig. For the occasional overnight to just get home or to the next place, take this place for what it is, a place for long term campers ideally with kids. Was a good learning opportunity to avoid such places in the future.
ScoutA wonderfully peaceful campground with exceptional hospitality. The staff are genuinely friendly and attentive, the camp store and laundry are fairly priced, and the heated pool is consistently clean and inviting. The clubhouse adds even more charm, offering fun indoor activities like pool, table tennis, and board games — perfect for rainy days or relaxed evenings. While some sites may pick up a bit of nearby traffic, the soothing nighttime chorus of bullfrogs creates a calming natural backdrop that makes for a great night’s rest.
ScoutThis campground has direct access to the river and several apple trees on site. We have enjoyed our time here.
