Our site was very spacious with a good view of the water without being too exposed to winds. We love to ride the bike trails and the campground is not too hilly to ride in it either.

We liked camping at North Sandusky, very nice campsites. We were on a full hookup site but didnt get to enjoy very much due to the rainy weather. We are planning on going again this spring.

We had our yearly get together with the family and friends. We were excited for the newly remodeled area. The parking pads were almost perfectly level and large for the area. We unfortunately were surprised by the off gassing of the sewer system. Sites 55 thru 52 are beautiful for full hook up. But, beware of the septic tank smells. I recommend the newly remodeled area and hope there is a fix to the smells.

What a lovely campground and area. We really enjoyed our campsite, the facilities, and the overall area. Trails were wonderful, we will be back next year!

We like all the campgrounds on Rend Lake, although N Sandusky was noisier than the others at the time of our stay. Campsite 26 is a mostly private site with trees at the back and a fair distance from site 27; site 25 is a bit close.

Wonderful water views with a nice little beach. The only thing that kept me from leaving a 5 review was the lack of shade due to the location of trees. Your camper will be in full sun from about noon until 5:00. Overall, nice spot.

Our favorite campground, near the bike trail and we can see Rend Lake.
@ElizabethH3073 · Camped on Oct 4, 2025 at Campsite #98
Beautiful location. Camping spots were spaced apart to give us an uncrowded experience. Will definitely camp here again.

Love North Sandusky

The initial site we reserved (large with a great lake view!) had something dead causing a big stink. The volunteer at the check-in booth worked hard to find us another large site with a bit of a lake view to move us to. We are very appreciative of her efforts. The sites are large, our neighbors were quiet and friendly, and the lake was beautiful even though it was too cool to play in it. We really enjoy the lovely, paved bike trails though the campgrounds!

Camp host was very personable and helpful. Park and bathrooms were very clean and well kept. The sites were spacious and comfortable. Cell service with Verizon was great.

Nice quiet campground; good facilities
@MatthewW543034 · Camped on Sep 27, 2025 at Campsite #48
Cutting the grass would have been nice. Park attendants and rangers were great! They were very friendly and made positive suggestions.
@CynthiaH772154 · Camped on Sep 27, 2025 at Campsite #10
This is our favorite camping place. Love the camp sites, the extremely nice showers and toilets, the beautiful paved bike trail, the ability to put my kayak in right at my site, the fishing, the breathtaking sun rises and sunsets. Our 4th year and we love every moment! Thank you for such an enjoyable recreation area.

Camp ground was great. Water at each site would be nice
@guyd0DAD6F6DE7 · Camped on Sep 25, 2025 at Campsite #16
Very nice campground loved the bike trails
@ArchieC36A9B72 · Camped on Sep 20, 2025 at Campsite #15
Awesome park for campers. Setting op a tent may be a challenge because of all the roots. Campfire enclosures could be updated as they were rusted through. Community showers are nice and bathrooms are kept clean. I love this park.
@JaniceR3870008 · Camped on Sep 19, 2025 at Campsite #15
We love staying here! Camping is beautiful and hot showers! Deer are everywhere to see for our delight!
@MarianN0171169 · Camped on Sep 18, 2025 at Campsite #81
Beautiful spot to camp. Rangers very helpful.
@scotts8955128 · Camped on Sep 17, 2025 at Campsite #112
Nice spacious sites
@BruceD4191868 · Camped on Sep 16, 2025 at Campsite #6
The main bathroom was neat, clean and even smelled good! The smaller bathroom near our campsite could have used a good cleaning. The campsite itself was roomy and very nice. We enjoyed the walking trail.
@AnnaFE3E96DB76 · Camped on Sep 15, 2025 at Campsite #46
Had an issue with leveling our camper at a site and the host was so gracious to find us another site that would work.Thank you, hostess,.
@DavidS3927304 · Camped on Sep 14, 2025 at Campsite #46
We were in site 46 which opened up the camp side to the lake. It was stunning. As a full hookup site, it had all the amenities. However please be aware that the serere back to front slope required ingenuity to get close to level with our 28ft travel trailer. We didn't actually get level because the nose just needed to be so high.
@RoseN7407605 · Camped on Sep 12, 2025 at Campsite #106
We had reservations for 2 nights, but the bugs were so bad, we left around 3 next day, tried to cancel my reservation but had no internet. It's a nice campground. Just not fond of the bugs
@JohnD1553494 · Camped on Sep 12, 2025 at Campsite #2
The reservation process is easy to use, booking was simple. The site large and comfortable. We saw so many stars it was inspiring. This is one of our favorite lakes to swim in. We will always come back.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

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!!!
