In order to save the $9 advance reservation fee (levied at all NYS campgrounds) I decided to risk finding a nice site on a Sat. afternoon in late July. Fortunately, we had a nice choice and the one selected (site #1) was up to our rigorous standards -- plenty of shade with lots of elbow room -- even though some of the shade came at the cost of falling crab apples. The Lake Erie shoreline lies only a few steps away, where there is a nice beach area and a glorious sunset. By 11 am checkout on Sunday morning, the number of campers had dwindled substantially and it seemed to us to be a "shade" nicer than several other nearby campgrounds. Sites are roomy and level with a nice paved road running through the park. Two large restrooms & shower facilities are kept very clean and we plan to return here in the early fall. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was a very nice campground right on Lake Erie. We had site 16, which was very large with a nice shade tree next to where we placed our camper. We were right across the road from the premium sites, that were on the lake, but we felt, we still had great views of the lake and the evening sunset. One thing that should be mentioned about the lakefront sites, is that there is a huge cliff at the back of those campsites that has a drop off leading to the beach, and it is not fenced. There are signs warning people of the danger not to enter the area. I would have been concerned, if I was on one of those sites with my young children as the drop off was quite steep and dangerous. Children could have easily walked right up to the edge and fallen over. The lakefront campsites were also rather short in comparison to many of the other sites. The campground was very clean as were the bathrooms and showers, all despite the high number of campers and visitors for the holiday. The beach is not all that great and other than the playgrounds there were not very many amenities. We traveled to Evangola State Park one afternoon and found their beach area to be much more groomed, the swimming area was much larger and cleaner than the one at Lake Erie State Park. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This is a very pretty park with large and very open sites. The roads in the park are all paved and wide with no tight turns that we noticed. We were in a 50 amp site which is not in the loop closest to the lake. I was not told that when we checked in, I think I would have preferred a 20 amp site and be closer to the lake. However there were so few campers there that we could see the lake from back where we were. We also didn't realize that there was no water hookups, but fortunately we had nearly a full tank. The beach area was very scenic, the bathhouses were clean but somewhat dated, typical of a State Park. Shower houses were separate from the other bathrooms with individual outside doors for each shower stall and dressing area. The park was well maintained. They also have cabins for rent on the lake front area that were full the weekend we were there. We were there during one of the last weekends the park is open for the season. There was a lot of water standing due to the very heavy rains that had occurred during the past several days. It was great for an overnite stop, and would be good for a day or two during warmer weather. All in all a nice place if you don't need full hookups. We camped here in a Motorhome.
