Favorite National Park Campground so far

We love this campground, we like the pull in and the walk in sites, bear boxes provided, plenty of room to relax. Good bathrooms, coin hot showers available too. So many trails to explore, walk to the Lodge, Wayside, Visitor Center and more.

Beautiful Sandy Forest

Loved this private sandy site. This campground was a great quiet place to relax away from busy beach towns nearby.

Great Campground

Lots of great sites to pick from, lots of loops, shady sites , secluded sites, handicap sites and more. We go at least once a year for the Ohio Bigfoot Conference which draws people from all over the country. The bathrooms are good, the shower houses are good and the campground store has anything you may have forgotten. Friendly staff, hiking trails, boating and more. They have horse camping and trails further down the road and a primitive loop on Bigfoot Ridge. So much to see and do a weekend isn't long enough.

Beautiful but buggy

Bayside is typically the better choice but the Oceanside gives you access to the beach in minutes. Horses can be a nuisance and destroy your campsite but are beautiful to watch. The bayside is great if you have a kayak and some sites you can launch directly into the bay. The Oceanside can be painfully hot, very little breeze behind the dunes and the bathrooms are awful. Would recommend staying at the state park instead.

Love this campground

I enjoy this campground because there are lots of great spots to choose from. I love the ability to walk or bike to the beach. The camp store has all the necessities you may have forgotten. I enjoy walking to the pond at night and flashlight frogs. Typically there are a lot of raccoons so keep your food locked up tight. It is a great place for birding, fishing, boating and close to marblehead lighthouse and the ferries to take you to Kelley's Island and Put In Bay.
