It was a beautiful place. They have kept the place and area clean. Playground is nearby and kids enjoyed a lot.

one of several excellent campsites
@ReneeV2B02CDE8 · Camped on Aug 20, 2025 at Campsite #223
Showers/bathrooms were full of bugs. Campsites need more full hookups, or at least water. Nice campground over all.
@AnneZF185DC9B3 · Camped on Aug 16, 2025 at Campsite #141
Sites are spacious and easy to get into. We picked a site this trip that was paved and shaded. We loved it! The bathrooms, however, need a bit of help. Water pressure in the showers is terrible and most of them have a single stream coming out of the shower head making difficult to rinse off.

We love Rend Lake and South Sandusky feels like home !

The campsite was a bit difficult to maneuver and a bit sloped. However, it was a very spacious site. The bike trail was very nice for riding.

Campsite nice BUT the sewer connection is near front of camper. I barely had enough sewer pipe!Stringers Bar & Pheasant Hollow winery are a must.
@LISAS7216541 · Camped on Jul 23, 2025 at Campsite #167
Enjoyed being able to ride our bikes on the trail. The beach was clean and enjoyable.
@MaryC1377445 · Camped on Jul 21, 2025 at Campsite #219
The best campground we have found. We love the sites, the bike trail, the scenery and the marina. Everything is very well maintained.
@DanielleP30464 · Camped on Jul 19, 2025 at Campsite #169
We stayed for only 1 night and upon arrival someones truck was parked in our campsite. So we had to wait for park rangers and people to sort that out. It was otherwise a nice campsite and campgrounds. Lots of party people on the weekend.
@SCOTTE9484100 · Camped on Jul 14, 2025 at Campsite #183
Very well maintained CG on Rend Lake. Easy check in. Lots of space between sites.
@JeffL9591550 · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #157

@AnneZF185DC9B3 · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #148

@CharlesR973079 · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #211
South Sandusky is the best place to camp, they have trails for biking and walking, a nice beach and place to swim.
@JeffreyH206902 · Camped on Jul 12, 2025 at Campsite #182
A great place to stay right next to lake. Campsites were comfortable and bath houses were clean and updated. Great stay!
@DavidV5073563 · Camped on Jul 7, 2025 at Campsite #159
Great camp host.
@ShawnyA817936D · Camped on Jul 6, 2025 at Campsite #195A
Our sites were wonderful. The personnel that checked us in and the camp host were very friendly. We loved the bike trail and the wildlife that we would see while riding on the trail. The Black Dog Store is a must see and the owners are very friendly. They did a great job at keeping the bathrooms/showers clean.
@CherylH2942173 · Camped on Jul 3, 2025 at Campsite #T2
Campsite clean, bathrooms clean, but other campers kept yelling and running around chasing raccoons until 2am. The raccoon problem is pretty bad.
@KimB3858433 · Camped on Jul 3, 2025 at Campsite #188
The spots seemed to be all on a hill. We really had to jack up the back end and put the front down very low in order for it to be level. There was very little ATT cell coverage. The location was nice. It was by the water and there was a small beached area for us to dock our boat.

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.
