We love North Sandusky starting with the campground hosts who were very friendly and quite helpful when we had to reduce our stay by a day. Rend is a favorite location, and North Sandusky has always been a favorite as well.

We have stayed at North and South Sandusky campgrounds several times now over the past 3 years. We have been very pleased every time. We are quite happy with these facilities!

Excellent experience. The only issue was that our campsite was not level with a steep downward slope. I do not recall seeing any descriptions describing the slope of sites.

My wife and I needed some R&R, so we scheduled a 7 night's stay at one campground. This required a 2 camp sites relocation. The Loop (Wood duck) we booked had very few available sites. One of our 2 sites #51 had a 5-day AV. We found the reason this site was AV, because it has a 7% downhill grade, which is unfit for campers longer then 15 ft. The Wood Duck Loop was nearly empty 7/24 to 7/29 but the website showed UNAV for most of these same sites. I think you need to fix your website because it is broken. We are flexible campers and realize that longer stays at one campground may require site relocation. We have on many occasions stayed 6 days by relocating every 2 days. It is easier then relocating to different campgrounds and with the high price of gas relocating 300 mi every 2 days is not very convenient.
How would I rate our stay? I can say that I my Wife and I are not happy campers.
