A nice park with lots of hiking trails and easy access to the water. Close to island ferry services for day trips. Park staff seem overwhelmed and not particularly into customer service. Sites close together offering very privacy. The highlight was the many deer wandering around the park and into the campground.

Very fast check-in, tag and reservation details posted at our site
Sites pads are narrow, big chance your truck and trailer wheels will cut in the grass and mud.
Electric only site for us so get your tank filled up before reaching your site.
Trails around are OK but be prepared for mosquitoes.

Wonderful Park with tons to do. Camping, fishing, boating, kayaking, swimming, hiking trails. Some of the campsites can be small, but overall a great park.

The campground is large with hundreds of sites. The back-in sites are tight and close together.

The campground is large with hundreds of sites. The back-in sites are tight and close together. The pull thru sites give you a much longer space with plenty of room for even big rigs but no more privacy between sites. The campground and restrooms/showers are well maintained. The best reason for coming here are the many things to do; boating, beach, ferry trips to two islands and proximity to Cedar point to name a few.

Overall, its a clean, well maintained state park. The sites are mostly level. There's a mix of full hookup, electric only, dry camping and tent only sites. There are restrooms buildings scattered about. They're older, but well maintained.
This is a smaller park that doesn't offer some of the amenties seen in larger parks. There is a nice Lake Erie beach a short distance from the campground. The water there is sheltered from the lake by several rock jetties about 200 yards out. The swimming area is generally shallow - three feet or less. So its great for kids.
You can bike or hike the park. But again, you won't find extensive biking or hiking trails. The park advertises a disc golf course. But we could find only one "hole." We never did find the rest of the disc golf course.
All in allm we would camp there again.

This place is a mad house. The sites are super close together like an RV park and no rules are enforced or followed whatsoever. I’ve never in my entire life had so many people cut through my already minuscule site. Kids would ride their bikes right through while we were sitting by the fire. Even adults would walk through with no regard. My neighbor even parked halfway in my yard and put his camp sign in my yard. It wasn’t just my site but all sites that were a free for all. The laundry room is terrible and covered in mayflies like something out of a horror movie. Definitely hasn’t been cleaned in years. Total madness. I gave two stars instead of one because I did like the bike paths to the shore area which was quiet during the mornings unlike camp chaos. However, the beach area leaves a lot to be desired and is also covered in dead fish and mayflies. I did get 2-3 bars of Verizon so that was a plus.

First time visiting the area and found East Harbor to be a great location for checking out Port Clinton and Put In Bay. We had to move sites after 2 nights to be able to stay as long as we wanted but it was worth the inconvenience. The park was packed and everyone was having a great time. Both sites were pull thru with plenty of room for the toad.
Short trip to either ferry for a day trip to Put In Bay and Port Clinton was 5 minutes or less. A nice drive out to Marblehead Lighthouse is a must do while there.
The showers were cleaner earlier in the day and if you were close to them many folks would short cut through your campsite.
The beach area was great and the dog friendly beach will give you and the pups a workout to get there but it’s worth it.
We would definitely return when back in the area.

“check in”
Reviewed 5/17/2022
Don't bother trying to check in before 3pm, you'll get put in state park jail by a rude, angry check in person. Our site was empty, cleaned and ready but we STILL had to wait from 1:20 to 3pm to get out of jail and go to the site. LAME.

Relatively level camp sites but narrow paved parking spots with no vehicles allowed to be on the grass. Minimal visitor parking near campsites. Short drive down to the lakeside area, with beautiful views of Erie. Lots of hiking and biking trails. Park is well maintained- I saw B loop being taken care of twice a week while I was here. Very convenient to town- gas, groceries and restaurants. Would definitely stay again!
