This was our first year to stay at South Sandusky Campground. We were in Pin Oak and absolutely loved it!!! We are entering retirement and love how QUIET it is for a public place. The sites have us spoiled. They are nicely spaced between campers and the sites are completely paved. No tree roots, dirt or mud holes at or around your table site. We also like to bike ride and the bike trails are wonderful.
We don't like to complain but we would like to ask those who feel the need to chalk cover the site pavement PLEASE don't do that. We along with our neighbors had to wash our sites off upon arrival. It was tracking everywhere, and we have our beloved pets to try and keep clean. Also, we consider it a privilege to be able to bring our 4-legged family members along. So, people part of your responsibility is to CLEAN UP after your pet, pick up its pooh!! We've always had big dogs and we do it, it's not that hard:) Thank you!!

We had a full hookups site, and the sewer was clogged. Host and maintenance did nothing.
