South Sandusky, Pine Tree area is our favorite camping spot. The weather could have been better, but that wasn't bad either and out of the campsite control. We have been camping at Rend Lake for 42 years. It is clean and beautiful. The visitor's center is a must. Just south of the visitor's center is Black Dog storage and camper's savior with many items to purchase.

Campground host was very helpful. Also enjoyed going to Sesser to Bagels and Brew and the Custard Stand.
