Our first weekend stay at North Sandusky COE Campground was very nice. Upon arriving, the lady at the Entry Gate House was very pleasant and helpful. We stated we had visited with other camper friends in the past who had camped there, but never stayed ourselves. Our site was Electric only, which we requested, and seen that were many Full Hookup sites as well. All the sites looked spacious and roomy, which was a super plus for us.
Upon signing in she had picked out a campsite for us that was perfect, It had a beautiful view of the lake. She was also helpful in taking the time to answer any questions I had.
Overall we had a delightful, peaceful, camping weekend outing and will be returning in the Spring. Another great camping option. Thank you.

Everything is always so nice and relaxing! Only one saying that was very surprising. Was 7:30 in the morning Saturday and the grass cutting crew was there. They got very close to the camper and the tent with people sleeping in the tent.
