Small campground with basic amenities. Level spot for RV. Visited during early May and the ticks were very bad.

Old scrub brush and volunteer tree growth in road ways making turns too tight for long rigs. No one there for check in and no map to find your camp site in entry area. Truly a self service, campers leaving at dusk, not the given checkout time(wonder if they paid at all).

What the other review said is correct. Also the bathroom doors have wooden shards coming off it. It cut me.

We occupied site 13 for one night while traveling. I have to say this is the 1st time I was not impressed with a COE campground.
The site's listed length is not realistic as it has such a sharp curve to it. Also, one side of the curve is a hill and the other side is a dip. We eventually found an angle that would allow our 25' TT to set level but then had to use extension cords for electric.
Oh well. Otherwise the park was clean and quiet with a good dump station. We did not have time to tour the whole park.

Very nice campground. The Baldhill Dam next door is a nice visit and worth exploring. There is a nice boat ramp and fish cleaning station just down the road from the campground. Fishing is good in Lake Ashtabula. Caught a nice variety of fish including Walleye, Perch, Crappie, Smallmouth Bass, White Bass abs Bullhead Catfish. The visitor center is worth a look and The Hungry Pelican has great ice cream, a limited menu of food, a Bar and Bait for the anglers.

Site was very tight with little to no patio area. Based on the map I was expecting some view of the water, very disappointed. Of all of the COEs we have stayed at this one was a real let down.
