Our first weekend stay at North Sandusky COE Campground was very nice. Upon arriving, the lady at the Entry Gate House was very pleasant and helpful. We stated we had visited with other camper friends in the past who had camped there, but never stayed ourselves. Our site was Electric only, which we requested, and seen that were many Full Hookup sites as well. All the sites looked spacious and roomy, which was a super plus for us.Upon signing in she had picked out a campsite for us that was perfect, It had a beautiful view of the lake. She was also helpful in taking the time to answer any questions I had. Overall we had a delightful, peaceful, camping weekend outing and will be returning in the Spring. Another great camping option. Thank you.

Great campground. Spot 46 on wood duck has a big shade tree and great view of the lake. Perfect spot for fall camping. Cant wait to come back!

@MonicaH7858802 · Camped on Oct 17, 2024 at Campsite #15

Everything is always so nice and relaxing! Only one saying that was very surprising. Was 7:30 in the morning Saturday and the grass cutting crew was there. They got very close to the camper and the tent with people sleeping in the tent.

@DanielR3951934 · Camped on Oct 13, 2024 at Campsite #18

Very nice paved trail that snakes from near the bathhouse thru the picnic area. Nice shower house.

@AllenL2764646 · Camped on Oct 4, 2024 at Campsite #47

Rend lake is always a great time

@RichardL555896 · Camped on Oct 1, 2024 at Campsite #53

@RobertD9538610 · Camped on Sep 29, 2024 at Campsite #46

Great site with a nice view. be prepared for a sloped parking pad.

@CrystalS158787 · Camped on Sep 26, 2024 at Campsite #79

We have always enjoyed our camping experiences at North Sandusky campground but this time we had an incident of a hitch for our boat being stolen out of our truck. We suspect the thief(s) were from the site next to us. We were in site #79 and they were in sites #80 or #81. They were walking back and forth to each other's sites, so we assumed they were camping there together. We have never had any issues any of the other times we have camped at a COE campground. We love how spaced out the sites are and the peaceful atmosphere. We have always stayed at a full h/u site down woodduck loop but nothing was available. Lesson learned on being too trusting. We now will always have hitch locks.

This location is always clean, wish they had someone remove all the gimbals that cover the ground. I almost fell a few times. Also the bar that holds the TP on in some of the bathrooms is to big, the roll doesnt spin so you have to rip chunks of tp off. The wild life was amazing, and lack of raccoons made the bust even more enjoyable.

@Randyand091587 · Camped on Sep 12, 2024 at Campsite #39

VERY NICE CAMPGROUND. WELL MANICURED LAWN. RESTROOMS NOT SO MUCH (SMELL MUSTY/MOLD AND LOTS OF CREAPY CRAWLIES). THE SITE PAD SEEMED MORE NARROW THAN MOST CAMPGROUNDS BUT SITES ARE LARGER. WE HAD ELECTRIC/WATER HOOKUPS AND ENJOYED OUR STAY EVEN WITH OUR NEIGHBORS ALL NIGHT "FLASHING STROBE AWNING LIGHT SHOW" ...bless their heart.

@DaneHB2FB4D6F7 · Camped on Sep 11, 2024 at Campsite #55

Excellent camp sites

@JoyceD3139495 · Camped on Aug 25, 2024 at Campsite #36

So very glad to read that you are repaving some of the pads. A level pad, removing the tire ruts from years of campers, will definitely improve the experience. Absolutely gorgeous views of the lake in this loop. Excellent friendly & helpful hosts

@DonnieJBAEB485 · Camped on Aug 25, 2024 at Campsite #2

A+ Campground cant wait to go back

@JanetB8225386 · Camped on Aug 19, 2024 at Campsite #40

The camp grounds are always clean and neat. We enjoy North Sandusky very much. We normally camp during the weekdays and the camp sites are more sparsely occupied. It is quiet and relaxing.

@BrianR3295011 · Camped on Aug 11, 2024 at Campsite #16

Very nice campground clean showers

@ErinT2760485 · Camped on Aug 7, 2024 at Campsite #100

@JackR1195896 · Camped on Aug 7, 2024 at Campsite #107

Facilities clean - Pavilion 3 excellent site, it was ready for our reunion in better than expected.

@ErinT2760485 · Camped on Aug 6, 2024 at Campsite #42

Beautiful site. short walk to water. Shaded. Level.

@BethH1585808 · Camped on Aug 4, 2024 at Campsite #43

Site Wood 043 was a very large, shaded, level site with full hook-up and a beautiful water view. The shoreline was steep with large rocks at the waters edge. Launching our kayaks was not a doable from this site. We did, tho, use the campground boat ramp which was nice. There's also a paved bike trail. This site had a visiting owl. This was very unique. We also saw deer, turkeys, an a coyote on our bike rides. We would recommend North Sandusky Campground site Wood 043.

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
