The only problem we have is there are many sites reserved that no on camps on. People book sites then don’t actually use the site.

We love fall camping here! Pelicans were in full swing, sunsets were gorgeous, campfires, toasty. The campsite we picked was perfect, lots of room, shade, water front with access to put in our kayak, kid and pet friendly! Love!

We had no reservations so it was 1st come first serve. Our camper has 50 amp service so it took a little bit to find a site with the service because not all sites are 50 amp. The sites are back in and some are long enough for our 38’ 5th wheel. Water is close by, the shower house was clean as well as the campground. The camp host also is friendly and knowledgeable to help assist any way they can. It’s great for taking walks, bicycling, campfires, and getting our to enjoy nature. We will definitely be going back this year to camp out!

We stayed in the White Oak Loop, with power, but no water or sewer. Sites were HUGE! The view out the back window was like another park. The site was paved and level side to side. It included a picnic table and fire ring. There was a great playground in the center of the loop, surrounded by lots of grass. I will definitely be back!

As a girls group that has been camping for 30 years, we love North Sandusky campground!! Campsites are large, grounds are kept very clean, bathrooms and bath houses are kept clean, very quiet!! Compared to other campgrounds that we have stayed at in the Chicago suburbs, they are 200% better!! Thank You!!

We were glad to find that they had moved the trash ben away from the campsites. This campground probably has the best and best maintained restroom/shower house of any we have visited. We were very disappointed, however, when we were unable to shoot a round of sporting clays at the gun range. Especially when we had called ahead to make sure the range was open.
