We stayed 3 nights at site 112. It's a beautiful site with pine trees all around. It was to windy to kayak,but we have done that before. The lake is beautiful. We did some bike riding on the bike path, which is always fun. The showers are very clean and well taken care of.

The 30 amp breaker was broken. We had to go buy an adapter to use the 50 amp outlet.

We had a wonderful week camping at South Sandusky! We spent time riding on the bike trail everyday--the location of South Sandusky allowed us to ride two different directions and added variety to our rides. Site #183 has a great view of the lake. The site did require some side to side leveling, but nothing a couple of pieces of wood or blocks can't fix.
