We tent camped at site 25 and it was a great spot. The sites are well dispersed and there is a water spigot close by shared by all the tent sites. The bathrooms were clean but no soap. There is no camp store but a camp host can help out if needed. Lake is gorgeous and you can rent kayaks and canoes at the boat dock. Will come back again!

We just arrived, parked and spent the night. Rained so didn’t do much. One of the 2 bathrooms by us was out of order so was a bit of an inconvenience.

Beautiful campground! The spots themselves are spaced out very well, the campground is very clean as well. Would love to go back!

Such a jem, we never thought we'd find something like this in Ohio. Makes a good stopping place for us on our way to and from Michigan

It was beautiful. The only problem we had was there was a few wipes on the ground that was used that was kinda nasty but no one’s fault but the camper that did it. I would go back again for sure.

We came for a night of tent camping on the way to Minnesota and arrived in time to enjoy an evening at the campground. The hosts were wonderful and the bathroom / showers were well kept and clean. It was our first time in Ohio and we hope to return again!

Cold water shower in men’s bathroom. Website did not accurately describe site where we had to walk all our gear down a steep hill. Ranger station not open for visitors. Camp host not enforcing quiet rules with barking dogs.

Great set up, level tent pad. Had a great time with a group riding motorcycles.

Beautiful campground with many widely separated, private campsites. Most sites have water and electricity. Unfortunately during our stay the weather was extremely hot and humid preventing use of hiking trails. Our site #22, beautiful view down ravine, level but narrow pad, water hydrant had major leak so could only fill tank and not use city water port, trash scattered around campsite and in fire ring when we arrived. Will return, but would like to see hosts be more active in maintaining campground.
