First time camping here. The host was very friendly and helpful. Perfect spot for camping with some shade. Everyone (other campers) were super friendly there. Definitely on our list to camp at again.

Stayed during the week so it wasnt crowded. Very nice campground with very friendly hosts. Very peaceful and quiet. Well cared for. Clean restrooms and showers. WiFi signal was pretty weak. We will be coming back.

No gravel in the site, it was pure mud. Site is extremely unlevel. It would be such a beautiful spot too!!

We were the only one in the campground, but even so it is very nice and clean.

@GregoryS158769 · Camped on Sep 17, 2023 at Campsite #21
We enjoyed setting up our tent close to Lake Ashtabula. Camp hosts were hospitable. Bathrooms and showers were clean and a treat as we spent an enjoyable 6 days in mid September.We used Ashtabula East Crossing as a basecamp for exploring the gorgeous Shyenne Valley and NE North Dakota.It was memorable to visit Standing Rock, a site for ceremonials and offerings of the Dakota Indians.

Nice spot, kinda hard to get into when the beach is busy.
@MaryO8691436 · Camped on Jul 14, 2023 at Campsite #35
Bathrooms / showers were clean and nice. Friendly camp. Cell service was poor.
@WandaP05734B56 · Camped on Jun 29, 2023 at Campsite #11
Great time. Bathrooms need to be improved, showers do not always work or have poor water flow. Garbage should be picked up more during holiday weekends/weeks. The dump station was not available during our stay as needed.
@CiaraB6F9284B8 · Camped on Jun 18, 2023 at Campsite #8
A very well-kept camping site. Walkable distance to the restaurant across the road and to the beach and playground.
@TerryD4370431 · Camped on May 25, 2023 at Campsite #34
This is a site that I will not do again with our camper. The ground is very sloped and I never could get my camper completely level. Not only that but there is no other level ground to setup our gazebo or much less anything else.
@KellyB8439114 · Camped on May 19, 2023 at Campsite #14
We had a great time! The Host family is so great
@AnilK8455564 · Camped on Aug 20, 2022 at Campsite #32
Good campsite with great lake and sky view!
@CodyM2108448 · Camped on Jul 31, 2022 at Campsite #1
This is a very nice campground and my family and I enjoyed our time here. The campground has a nice playground and swimming area which is great for children. The lake is nice and allows for fun boating or fishing.
@DaveM7344120 · Camped on Jul 29, 2022 at Campsite #16
Ok spot. Not level at all and trees need to be trimmed like every other campground there..
@JackieL8361846 · Camped on Jul 20, 2022 at Campsite #9
This is a small old campground without much space between the sites. Volunteer only person at the campground. We weren't able to get into our campsite had to have someone else move their truck so we could drive through their campsite to get into ours because there were cars parked along the road that prevented us from backing in. Campsites are very small a lot of noise in the campground with people playing loud music and there wasn't 10 ft between our camper and the one next door to us. Volunteers were just camped there and didn't have any authority to do anything. Volunteers were very nice.
@KellyM9992231 · Camped on Jul 12, 2022 at Campsite #14
Great area! We had site on water which was great unless lots of people at beach nextdoor. Hosts were great. Long uphill to bathroom.
@DuganS6734928 · Camped on Jun 21, 2022 at Campsite #15
East Ashtabula Crossing was a very quaint little campground with excellent views of the lake and a great swimming beach. We had a wonderful time of rest and relaxation. Some of the sites are small so you will need to size accordingly based on your RV. The only drawback was there is no dump station at this campground. I asked a couple of park rangers if there was a dump station here and they both had no idea what I was talking about - go figure. Had to dump at the Marathon truck stop in Valley City, ND. Would definitely go back here again. Also, zero cell phone service. We had to drive to the top of the hill to get service.
@LarsW2362350 · Camped on Jun 13, 2022 at Campsite #10
Nice quiet place next to the river to spend the night. Would have enjoyed staying longer. Some of the spaces are a very unlevel but front levelers got it tilerable. Showers worked good. O ly place flr Verizon was near the booster at the toilet, shower building. Will stay here again.
@JeffryS5358381 · Camped on Jun 5, 2022 at Campsite #27

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@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!!!
