Campgrounds

I have stayed at CP camper village only once but really prefer something more rustic. What local campgrounds have you stayed at and which are the best as far as traditional campgrounds?

The closest campground is Bayshore which is on Route 6 just 3/4 of a mile from the Causeway entrance.

The other one I am familiar with is Traveland which is out by SR 2 and SR 101.

From a convenience standpoint, Bayshore would be the way to go. I would not consider either of the campgrounds "rustic".

I personally like Crystal Rock which us about 6miles from the park on rt 6..Very Rustic and nice

I would only stay at Bayshore if I liked trains 'going through my tent' and blowing their horns at all hours of the night, and listening to 'party animals' keep everyone else awake at the other times.

There are no 'rustic' campgrounds anywhere near Sandusky. However for a campground that will enforce the quiet hours go to East Harbor State Park. It is not rustic, it is a large and sometimes crowded campground, but the park police enforce the rules. It is at the most a half hour drive from CP. We enjoy driving through Sandusky in the morning (and the evening too) and bypass the throngs of cars on the main road.

A nice sidelight to staying there - you can go out to the lake and have a nice picnic dinner along the shore.

Oh and the cost for camping is much less than you will pay at a private campground closer to CP.

I go to Huron River Valley Resort. It's in Huron off of Rt. 6. It's right on the Huron River about 1.5 mile up river to lake Erie. It's about 15 minutes from CP. They have over night and seasonal sites. They also have a marina. I have a seasonal site and keep my boat their too. It's not a bad place. You get CP and river camping....

I'm usually there every weekend.....

You probably shouldn't neglect to mention the state parks on the islands, which are about as close as you can get, and they actually have trees!
