We love camping near the water, and North Sandusky campground offers the best sites with the best views of the lake. And if you are looking for a summer treat, the ice cream stand in Sesser is just a short drive from the campground.

We love this campground. We see so many deer, bike trails are amazing, we stayed on site White Oak 118 and it was quiet and secluded.

Fishing at north Sandusky is good but watch the rocks they are tricky, I've fallen several times, but you can't beat the camping, quite home away from home, love it, be back, yes
