Beautiful clean campground. Easy access to I-57 so great for quick overnighter but nice enough for a longer stay. Highly recommended!

Be careful reserving a site here. We found 2 sites available for our one-night stay as we were passing through. What we failed to notice was that those two sites only had electric, no water or sewer, while the others around us did. Our site was also very unlevel, -4 degree slope. We stayed hooked to the truck which made it even steeper. It was completely our fault for not reading the description and need-to-know closely enough. Anyway, we had water on board and didn't need to dump either, so all in all it was an okay visit, but probably won't come back. But the price is right, so who knows.

We love this place and would recommend it to anyone. The bike trails around the lake are amazing. Facilities were clean and grounds were kept up great. Stayed in June 2024

First time we ever stayed there. With pintail closed we had no choice. It's was ok. Like pintail in north sandusky much better.
