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.
