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.

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!

A beautiful campground, surrounded by tall pines and fresh air. The whole facility was immaculate, no trash seen on any of our hikes and we look to help out by picking up trash! The assistant at the front gate was extremely friendly and helpful as we wanted to buy some wood and she directed us to a lovely local store. Highlights include, viewing the white pelicans and identifying 33 varieties of birds with the help of the Merlin ap. We never saw the sun and it drizzled or flat out poured the whole time but we still thoroughly enjoyed the escape from city life and the serenity that the wilderness offers.
