The gentlemen who checked us in was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and helpful. The ladies we met at the booth during the rest of our stay were very nice and we enjoyed chatting with them about their volunteer experiences. They even convinced us to give it a try. The campground was very nice and we enjoyed the bike rides and spending time on your beach. The park rangers were very nice and we were happy to see tem driving around frequently. There were only 2 things that happended that we did not like...... 1 was the freuent usuage of marijuana by one of the neighbors (yes we reported it but they couldn't do anything because they could not trace it to the exact sorce) and 2. twice when we went to the beach there was a group of children that were not accompanied by an adult. the park ranger even drove thru both times but never stopped at the beach to check things out. perhaps the ranger should get out of their truck and come down to the beach to have a good close look. When we were there we had Tornado watch 2 times and there is no warning system in the camp ground at all. We had to ask if the bathrooms or shower houses were the shelters (they are not marked) without a warning system the park ranger should have come around and alerted people that we needed to take cover. There is no internet at all and luckily we have a portable NOAA radio and were able to alert others and take cover.

Only negative is the mosquitoes ! Also in the bathrooms.
So bring bug spray. Otherwise it is a great place for relaxation, and the town of Findlay has a couple very good options for meals

The lakeside spots are great. But be mindful of the late check out and check in times.
