    Your review of the campground is spot on, clean and relaxing. A few years ago, they added the pool area now it's a little harder to book spots on short notice. Next time you're in the area reach out maybe we could meet up again.

    Very nice! I’ve kept it off the list because it’s had many years of water advisories but looks like it’s healthy now? We like to kayak and looks like the size of lake offers a challenge.
    Thanks for checking it out for us! I hope to meet you at one of our great parks soon!

    • @TravelingBuckeyes

      It seams to be a lot better than it has been. There were lots of people boating and kayaking. It’s nice because you can launch your boat right from the campground. It would be great to cross paths one of these days!! Thanks for watching!

    On some of the ODNR webpages, the newer camper cabins are also called "Sherman Cabins." OK for a couple but still have to walk to the latrines and showers.

    Great video guys! I tell you what, I’d be all over those rootbeer floats, lol. Maybe Cindy and I will run in to you guys at a campground soon and not at Meijer. I think the boardwalk village would be enough for us to skip Caesar Creed one weekend and camp up north. Safe travels you two, cheers!

    Thanks for making this video! I live in Columbus, and was wondering if it would be worth the trip there to spend a week. After seeing your video, I think it'd be worth it. I'll have to check that out within the next few weeks. Looks pretty nice there. Thanks again, safe travels, and happy camping!

    we would like to visit it even if we can't get into the state park .

    Lake is fine to swim in. With any lake. Shower afterwards and dont drink the water.
    Grew up here never got sick even when the algae blooms were going on.
    In it every year with my kids no issues.
    In town at k.c geiger park is a nice 18 hole putter golf, and disc golf course.

    This used to be a beautiful campground and in very high demand. I feel you need to note that this lake has been so highly polluted for more than a decade and it is very unsafe...worse for children and elderly. The agricultural runoff has destroyed what was once a very popular and thriving tourism spot. It is recommended that people avoid all contact with the lake water.
