Unfortunatly we were very dissappointed with Grand Lake St Marys State Park. We made our reservations online and found the descriptions of each site to be very misleading. Although the sites are good in size, there are barely any trees for privacy. The campground reminded us of a parking lot of RV's. The bathrooms were clean, but there are no hooks for towels or shelves to set anything on. We would not recommend this state park to anyone. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This is a fantastic State Park Campground. We make 1 or 2 trips each year for over 25 years... Boat ramp and docks to as they claim ''One of Ohio's other Great Lakes''. there is a beach for swimming, sand volleyball court, putt-putt golf, playgrounds, bike rental and week-end movies shown. Many activities for both young and old. Join their ''Cardinal Club'' at check-in and receive a 15% discount. The park is well maintained and the staff are friendly. They do not take telephone reservations, and this park is normally full by Friday morning, all summer long. Unless you arrive many days early, forget trying to camp here over a Holiday Week-end... I will definitely continue using this nice campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Grand Lake St. Marys State Park is very near the town, but is isolated due to trees and landscape. The park is next to the very large (13,500 acre) lake. There is swimming, water activities, fishing, boating, athletic, minature golf, and playgrounds for the campers use. There are also excellent opportunities to ride bicycles in the park area. There are excellent roads to enter and drive within the park. The facility will handle any size vehicle. It is near U.S. 33 and about 30 minutes from I-75. The park does not have a high occupancy rate during the week, but begans to fill rapidly on Wednesday. The staff takes great pride in the facility and will work hard to make your stay enjoyable. Restaurants and grocery stores are within 1 mile. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
