This is our favorite camping place. Love the camp sites, the extremely nice showers and toilets, the beautiful paved bike trail, the ability to put my kayak in right at my site, the fishing, the breathtaking sun rises and sunsets. Our 4th year and we love every moment! Thank you for such an enjoyable recreation area.

Wonderful water views with a nice little “beach.” The only thing that kept me from leaving a 5⭐️ review was the lack of shade due to the location of trees. Your camper will be in full sun from about noon until 5:00. Overall, nice spot.

We like all the campgrounds on Rend Lake, although N Sandusky was noisier than the others at the time of our stay. Campsite 26 is a mostly private site with trees at the back and a fair distance from site 27; site 25 is a bit close.

Outstanding facility. We stayed for the Halloween Trick or Treat, and even though it was rainy, it was still a good time.

We had our yearly get together with the family and friends. We were excited for the newly remodeled area. The parking pads were almost perfectly level and large for the area. We unfortunately were surprised by the off gassing of the sewer system. Sites 55 thru 52 are beautiful for full hook up. But, beware of the septic tank smells. I recommend the newly remodeled area and hope there is a fix to the smells.

Our site was very spacious with a good view of the water without being too exposed to winds. We love to ride the bike trails and the campground is not too hilly to ride in it either.

We liked camping at North Sandusky, very nice campsites. We were on a full hookup site but didn’t get to enjoy very much due to the rainy weather. We are planning on going again this spring.
