Camp Sandusky

There are a lot of pluses for this campground. The location is great, sites are smallish but shaded and level, and the bathrooms are clean. There are options of activities for families, and (while we didn't partake), the pancake breakfast option was nice. We camped in the fall, so the pool was not open.

Now, the one downfall that I don't think I can get over. The whole park smelled like sewer the entire time we were there. The park was very empty because of the time of year we camped, so there weren't even any other campers near us to blame for the smell. We didn't use the sewer at our site until we were ready to leave, so it wasn't that either.

It was a cool weekend, temps in the mid-50s during the day. I couldn't imagine how much worse it would have been if it was hot outside.

In the parks defense, I will say that I'm not used to camping at places that are mostly full hookups. The smell of raw sewage all the time might be normal, I just don't know.

TL:DR I would stay here again. It would not be my first choice.

We stayed in a cabin. I would however say calling it a cabin is a bit of a stretch as it's actually a wood shed. It was clean but smelled like a musty old wood shed. The beds were better than sleeping on the floor but they have a plastic like lining on them so they're very very hot. The bathrooms are extremely outdated but clean. One out of three of the soap dispensers worked. Most of the doors didn't lock. There was no paper towels in the paper towel dispenser. I didn't use a shower but my husband said that they were nice and warm. The property lines on your cabin are non-existent so you kind of guess what's yours and what's not and you share a grill. The biggest downfall was probably the people that were literally screaming bloody murder at midnight for at least half an hour. Staff was nice and it was nice to book somewhere when all the hotels were $300 plus but it's really just above sleeping in a tent. There was no lights around the bathroom where we stayed and The camp ground could really benefit from some signage telling you where what is and which way what road goes. The moral of the story is I'm saying don't not stay here but keep your expectations very very low.

I chose this campground for its proximity to Sandusky. It is a nice wooded campground that feels well maintained. It is a kid friendly location that has a rabbit petting area for kids. The person serving breakfast was very friendly and sweet. The only downfall, to me, is the location...It backs up to the freeway. I was in a tent site nestled in the corner of the exit ramp of the freeway, so all night long I could hear traffic. Camp sites further toward the center seemed to be much quieter. All in all, it met my needs!

Camp Sandusky is great! We stay here when visiting family in the area, usually at the start of the season. Because its so early there are very few campers before Memorial day, which suits us fine. I am sure it gets busy for the Cedar Point season, and it looks to be a great spot for families, Well shaded, ample camp sites, plenty of hookups, primitive and cabin sites available. It provides a nice woodsy camping experience yet close to town and the attractions. Nice staff and relatively quiet.

Nice campground with shaded lots. Water electric and sewer all worked as expected. Friendly staff. We stayed in R69. It was a bit of a squeeze to get in with the way the neighboring sites were parked but once we were in all was well. Breakfast was pretty good at the pancake house and they gave us tickets for 3 free breakfasts in little goody bags. Very nice touch. It was too cold to try out the pool. The shower house was well lit with plenty of mirrors and electrical outlets for us ladies. The showers were not the ritziest but clean and serviceable. I enjoyed the bunnies and watching the kids ride the pedal cars around the grounds. All the surrounding campers were welcoming and had well behaved dogs. We had our dogs and they enjoyed it too, they even made a few friends. Overall a nice little campground very conveniently located.
