Rend lake is a beautiful place. Plenty of shade in most spots. Very clean and the grass is always mowed.

The campground host was not very friendly at South Sandusky. There is no Verizon service in the Sycamore campground, but I guess that's okay if people want to disconnect from the world. Our experience was okay, but I would go elsewhere next time around.

Site 71 was flat, large and perfect. It's a well kept campground, friendly staff and the rates are great, especially with the America the Beautiful pass. Will definitely be coming back!

This was my first time camping around rend lake. So happy we ended up at south Sandusky! The camp site was easy to access had plenty of space! Was close enough to our friends but still far enough away from other spots. The shower house and rest rooms where centrally located. And probably some of the nicest and cleanest I've ever used! Can't wait to go back! The park rangers and staff where very nice and helpful we had some issues with our camper and they helped us and we found a wasp nest close to our camp they helped us take care of it so our kids didn't get stung. It was just over all a great place and great environment!
