A wonderful park. A Lake Erie Gem.
A very clean park, great rest rooms, and a well thought out campground. Super trails for walking and biking. The staff is couteous and knowledgable.
I highly recommend this park to anyone. The beach does get crowded on the weekends so weekdays are best if you can.
