I will be back here. I loved the campsites! They were all private with full grown trees and shrubs around each site. It was clean and had lots to do at the park. We took a bike ride on the shore of Lake Erie and around the Lodge area. It was beautiful even though Lake Erie had algae in it. There were two other inland lakes with beaches that were clean and suitable for swimming. The nature center was very nice and the employee very friendly and informative.
Love this state park campground. Large sites with lots of foliage in between sites for privacy. Efficient dump station (hoses provided). Located within the state park is a lodge with a restaurant and bar. It is a close bike ride or somewhat longer walk, but easy walk. Bike/walking trails around the park let you enjoy nature. We had a number of deer at night walk through close to our site. Also saw deer (mom and fawn) on our bike rides.
During the summer the campground has coffee and donuts (small fee), as well as the lodge holds fun events (tie die t-shirts). Not too far from the state park is a wetland that has nesting Eagles. Great bird watching - put out oranges at your site (in the trees) and watch the Orioles!
Awesome place! Came here with a friend who works at one of the other lodges. We had a four bedroom cabin with a hot tub. We did go check out the lodge and used the hot tub there as well as taking pictures around the place. Everything was wonderful.
