There is a dead limb on a tree that hangs over the campers on site 194 that could fall on a camper, since we do get a lot of wind and some storms, also there are some kinds that need to be trimmed back on pine tree loop that are getting close to traffic. Nice camp grounds!

Rend Lake South Sandusky is an excellent place to camp.
Only thing missing was a sewer hookup
at our site. Place is well maintained and wouldn't hesitate to go back. It's about 2 hour drive from Missouri where we came from. Found a excellent place to eat with great food The Mill bar and grill. It's a old feed store. Good eats.

The park is beautiful, close to bath houses, not a far walk to the beach. Only down side is when we had a neighboring site that didn't follow the rules about noise after 10. We could hear everything they where saying. We couldn't get ahold of anyone about the noise.
