Great that they have plumbed toilets. Except for the fact that all the spiders and other species of bugs exist on the walls, and there are cobwebs everywhere. Wisconsin pit toilets are much much cleaner than this. Other than that our site was great, fire pit was a little small but a beautiful location.

Site 157 is long and decent enough, though it leans to port a bit, I had to raise that side 3 inches to get the trailer level. My power management showed 124 V and no errors during our 4 night stay. A clump of trees and bushes block most of the light from the new unitized concrete bathroom building - those lights are EXTREMELY BRIGHT, my biggest complaint of campgrounds everywhere. The bike trail is nice, saw deer and turkeys.

My family and I love camping at the South Sandusky tent sites. This was the first time we'd stayed at T-4. When we arrived it was covered with beer bottle tops and we kept finding fish hooks on the ground (was just a bit scary with a 4 year old...) overall we had a blast yet again. Guess it was just the people who stayed before but wish there could've been more of a clean up before the next group arrived
