Sides was uneven, not level and the dead tree branches did not allow us to put our awning out.

No issues. But found out later that there was a fishing derby that weekend. They need more parking at the boat launches.

I love this campground, but it is in dire need of updating. The electrical isn't big enough to handle today's rv's that everyone and their mother has now. Many of the sites really need some ground work attention. A play ground and more water locations to fill up over the weekend would be nice. Otherwise it is a clean campground with friendly Rangers.

Our campsite was clean and fellow campers were pleasant. Our site was along the water but with campfire smoke and some light insect repellants we were able to keep the bugs at bay. Most of the sites do not have a ton of privacy/trees/bushes between them, but the sites are large enough and spaced out well so that we didn't feel like we were on top of our neighbors. The campground host stopped by to visit with me and check in on if I was camping alone as I was setting up; my partner had not arrived yet. As a younger female, I did appreciate him looking out for my wellbeing in that way. The flush toilets and showers are located at East Ashtabula Crossing which is just across the river, at the other end of the highway bridge. They have a nice playground and swimming beach on that side, whereas the West crossing has a bigger boat landing area and fishing piers. There is also a fish cleaning station present. The Crossing bar & grill across the river is a nice place to eat, grab drinks at, or pick up other convenience store type necessities, they also sell firewood. Lake Ashtabula is a lovely place to spend some time at during the summer and you're bound to find a favorite campground out of the 4 that are available! Very pretty views, great fishing and opportunities for activities on the water.
