Very good experience . However, rest rooms should have soap dispenser’s added and the dispensers should remain stocked. Also the rest room shower head should be changed to a higher volume shower head. It is very hard to rinse your hair.

Campground was clean and well maintained. Definitely more for RV campers as sites were small for tents. Maybe put something in description that highlights better tent sites. The walk-in tent sites look wonderful

This was an excellent campground. The bike and walking trails were excellent, as were the beach and lake access. I stayed in Dogwood, which seemed to be the oldest area in the facility and the bathroom doesn't have a shower or a lock on the door. The bathrooms in the other areas were newer and had showers - I would try definitely try to book in one of the other areas if you need facilities.

We’ve camped at South Sandusky for about 45 years. It’s one of our favorites. It’s always so clean and modern. The lake is beautiful and we love boating there.
