Very nice campgrounds at Rend Lake. South Sandusky has big paved spots with huge gravel picnic area. Shower house is close by as well as playground for the kiddos.. there is spaces to park both your boat and truck next to your camper. Nicely shaded spots.
It’s peaceful here only downside we had was there is no shower house at dogwood you have to go to redbud. Also the raccoons are crazy at night they definitely aren’t scared of people.
Great that they have plumbed toilets. Except for the fact that all the spiders and other species of bugs exist on the walls, and there are cobwebs everywhere. Wisconsin pit toilets are much much cleaner than this. Other than that our site was great, fire pit was a little small but a beautiful location.
Redbud site 150 best in campground.
Great place to go camping. Fishing, Boating and just hanging out!
Clean campsites with electrical hookups and bathroom. Helpful staff were present at check-in.
