The site is beautiful, nice waterfront spot. Farthest from the parking lot so hauling all the gear in and out of camp was a struggle. The fire ring has been bent for the past few years and the campground has yet to replace it. They also don't clean out the fire ring so I had to dig out a lot of old ash. This year there was a pretty big ant issue as well. They swarmed our gear all weekend. Great spot but needs some serious TLC.

We've been coming to Rend Lake for 42 years. Always impressed with the upkeep of the facilities. Our favorite for now is PinOak located in South Sandusky, great paved full hook up sites. This year they were a little slow in getting the grass cut, but I'll blame the weather. We were there during a tornado warning, so we went to the center of shower house the camp host had opened for us. Thankfully we just got a lot of rain and met some new neighbors.

Good camping sites with large lots between campers. Clean bathhouses. Nearby winery, Mill Restaurant, and you must go to Joe’s Pizza in Benton. Watched so many birds, woodpeckers, blue jays, hummingbirds, and red birds all near our campsite all week.
