Has so much fun!!! The cabin was perfect, AND pet friendly! That's actually the whole reason we came, because the dog was able to stay with us in the cabin! Clean park and very friendly staff. We can't wait to come back!

Came to the area for a herding event at Hado-Bar farm, about 4 miles away. We stayed with our 2 dogs in one of the cabins and couldn't have had a better time. The cabin was perfect, walk out the front and down to the water. Plenty of space to walk the dogs around the camp ground. It was the Halloween party weekend - really made me wish I were a kid again - they had so many activities and the kids seemed to have a blast. Will definitely come back in the spring for our next event, and probably even stay an extra couple of days just to relax.

Great hidden gem campground surrounded by nature but includes all the amenities! Super clean grounds, restrooms, showers and sites. Staff was amazing- very nice and kept saying they just wanted to make us happy and they truly did. We went during Halloween. So much to do!! Food truck staff and food was top notch too!! Will be back in summer for the swimming.

Their cabins are a home away from home. The RV sites are pretty level most are gravel with table and burn ring. The stag is top notch knowledge and hospitality. This campground has a RC track. Their activities can keep you busy. The water obstacle course is fun. Yes life vest are mandatory even for adults.

Our family loves Cleveland/Sandusky Jellystone. The park is beautiful, clean and great for all ages. We will continue to camp here multiple times a year! The Managers Kayla and Eric are always smiling and extremely inviting. They plan lots of events for kids and adults. They are involved in the events and their energy makes them so much fun. Ranger Mark is so good with the kids and goes above and beyond to make sure they have a good time. If you haven’t camped here you’re missing out!
