West Ashtabula Crossing

West ashtabula does not have anything but basically porta a potties. In order to go swimming or shower, etc. You have to cross the lake to east ashtabula. The reason we chose West was because it allows alcohol and East does not. Other than not having many amenities it was fun to camp there. You were able to see a full sky of stars at night which was beautiful. Phone service is not great there. Sprint has none and Verizon is hit or miss.

We were able to find a tent camp site at the last minute. A Park Ranger who came by was very helpful in us getting set up.

Great location and most sites have view of the lake

This whole campsite is in terrible need of updating. Everyone has larger rigs and campers nowadays. The power system in not suffice. Lots are very unlevel. New trees are planted in the most ridiculous locations making it harder to maneuver campers around. I'm all about planting trees, but lets do some forward thinking. The road never gets graded. The mowing of the area is decent, but a lot of room for improvement. The vaults do not get cleaned as often as they should, and the toilets do not have the safety bars to prevent a young child from falling down them. Lighting all the way through needs to be updated. There are so many opportunities for this campsite, but whenever something is mentioned it falls on deaf ears. Water hookups could easily be expanded. The dump station needs to be expanded. Everyone from the east side crossing comes over and dumps, creating more traffic and more mess.

love the pier

We camp here every year. It’s usually quiet and everyone is respectful of other campers.

The site was soft and unlevel. It was quiet.

Our experience was fine. The park service could do alittle to upgrade the area some. One thing that could help is adding some gravel to the camper spots so they were easier to park and level our campers.
