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.

South Sandusky has always been our favorite campground at Rend Lake. When we got there they were mowing grass which was good for my fur baby so she didn't have to wade in the tall grass to go potty. The campsites are always clean and staff are friendly. If you like to walk you can do plenty of that along with riding a bike if that's what you prefer. Highly recommend the campground and will always return to camp there ourselves!!
