It was very quiet. Our site was a nice site near the end of the park. Only 3 or 4 other campers so it was super quiet. The night sky was beautiful...dripping with stars. Bathrooms were remarkably clean.

Nice relaxing weekend. Corn hole and ladder golf was fun. Great temperature for a fire. Clean bathrooms and nice water system. Great trails nearby.

Beautiful Setting right on the lake. The power source was good and the space large enough to handle my class A. Camp host was very friendly and informative. Shower/Lav facility was close by and was clean. The dump was close as well with many trash cans. The visitor's center was very informative and the small cafe/bar/store had plenty of stuff for all needs.
Internet of course was a little spotty up at lake Ashtabula but the scenery was well worth it. Recommend the Starlink dish if one wants good internet while at the park. Valley City was 25 minutes away with stores and places to eat.

Older campground. Sites level with plenty of room. Washrooms clean, but old with some odor. Easy access dump and water fill.

Site 24 is located at the end ( map is inaccurate) - you have to walk thru sites 22 and 23 to get to it which was uncomfortable. There is no separation between campsites or privacy. The ground was very uneven and chunks of dirt piles along the way, large piles of leaves in 24. 25-27 are not located next to 24. 21 is at the end of 22 thru 24 by parking area and road
