Customer Reviews
15 years ago when we stayed here, we weren’t too impressed. We decided to give it another try since it’s been so long and we are glad that we did. Many amazing upgrades have been done since then, lots of new sites with options for everyone. The staff are by far the best of any campground in the area, everyone we dealt with was very friendly and made us feel at home. We chose a Deluxe Back-In Site and it was very nice. Enough room between us and our neighbors to not feel cramped, 50/30/20 Full Hookup (connections all conveniently located), concrete patio with a built in fire pit, two person rocker and a 4 chair iron patio set with an umbrella. Conveniently located right down the street from Cedar Point and tons of restaurants, stores and services within 3-4 miles. We will definitely be back and are looking forward to it!
Cool campground with my kid and I. Rented a small cabin with bathroom and kitchen. Perfect size for a family of four. It had queen size bed and a bunk. Place also came with patio with fire pit with a grill and a small deck. Kitchen was stocked with the essentials but I’m glad I brought my griddle pan. Everything was within walking distance. Staff was awesome and friendly even when they passed by.
We camped there last week on our ‘great lakes road trip’. Impressive recent improvements; new poured concrete pads, new patio furniture, new and good looking patio covers, wash sink at the site, new fire rings, Some serious capital investments!! The only drawback were the restrooms. They were fine for us in slow season. But during high season they might not be enough. Yet we would readily stay there again.
Great location if you’re heading to cedar point. I consider this a city campground, nice site amenities, rather small. Very clean grounds. Wonderful pools. The one employee we came across at check in, was not friendly, but efficient. Overall if back in area would stay here again.
With being KOA workers, we know what the standards are for a KOA cabin. Without a doubt they delivered!! The first thing I checked was the grill, and it was clean. The cabin was spotless, and all the linens were there. We had a great stay and the office staff was friendly every time we went in there. I took off 1 star because of the pool. They said it was heated but it was cold. I asked what they heat it to, and they said 72 degrees. That's 5 degrees below the recommended swimming pool temps. The kids couldn't swim too long till they were too cold.
