The health and safety of our guests and our staff are our number one priority. We are modifying our business practices based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines and restrictions. Tent camping is first come, first serve, for both the beach and/ or the bayside (pet friendly) areas of the campground.
It is ALWAYS non-reservable. The dynamics of Lake Erie are ever changing and we cannot guarantee availability. Please call the night before to inquire about conditions and availability. We start a waiting list as early as 7:30 am. You must be here in person to sign up with your tent ready. We will then start placements after 9:00 am.

The owner was there and was lovingly concerned for the dog since it was going to be extra hot during our stay. She happened to have a shaded spot available so after walking me through the grounds and showing me what she had in mind, we were set up and my dog was extremely comfortable even through the 90+° days! (We all loved our lot too;))

The food was ok. The service was quick, because they were very busy, but I feel like the food could have been cooked a little longer, which would have made it better. They need to set up traps for the yellow jackets. There were sooooo many bees, I had to finish my dinner in the car, and did not go back for ice cream after our ride and walk on the peninsula.

The campground was very inconsistent with what their management and employees told us. Almost turned us away after saying they could accommodate us.
I called ahead asking about availability for a group of 8 and talked to a guy on the phone who said we could easily get spots, it was the off season.
I called back another day to ask for more details about the campground, and said I was bringing a group of 8, and the woman on the phone said they could accommodate us, and gave some more info about campfires, rules, etc.
Then, on the morning we showed up, the receptionist said that they do not accommodate

The campground is a dump. It's a nasty, unkempt, cramped trailer park. Most of the bay side seems to be permanent sites, and the people are just rude. The office where you check in is across a busy 4-lane road. Maybe the "beach side" camping is nice; I don't know as it was gated off and we couldn't get in. The trailer park side stunk, as it is right behind the restaurant. It was very loud, and the sites were way too close together. Sitting at our table in front of our door, our neighbor's sewer hose was at our feet. We didn't even have our own hookups

We had our first stay there this past week!! I cannot rave enough it is everything you could want! Location Location Location The staff is amazing and so helpful with us being first timers. The showers and restroom are kept immaculately. The sites have large concrete pads. Treed spaces but not so dense that no sunlight gets in. The grounds are kept up beautifully. We cannot wait to get back there!

5 stars for their vanilla and orange swirl ice cream. Delicious and well worth it.
We have also ordered food her and it is good however a bit pricey for a fast food feel. They have plenty of indoor and outside seating available. Their parking lot can get cramped.
They also have a drive thru which we took advantage of on this particular trip. They had an employee taking orders before we even got to the window to keep the traffic moving since the parking lot can be cramped. Highly suggest checking this place out atleast for the ice cream.

The location by the lake, bay and state park is wonderful. The trail, hiking, walking/bike path through the state park. Amazing wildlife and many beaches. EVERYTHING about the state park is amazing. The only good thing about the campground is it's location near the lake and park. The campground it's self. Is small, overcrowded, dirty and not well kept.

So this campground has a 3 night minimum stay; typically, but the staff was kind enough to give us 2 nights. When we arrived we had no idea that we were in the right location and ended up having to circle back. What is not mention is that the registration office is not on site it's up the street and off the other side of the road. The gentleman who drove a cart helped us get the food delivery trucks out of the way, so that we could even enter the campground. He was a gem and this place is very lucky to have him!!!!
The hook ups make zero sense here there are 4 spickets to a pole for water

The site we originally got was very tiny full hook up site on the main road in and out of the campground.Not good for children It was sideways and had the sewer hookup in the middle of the pad. Could not get into the space because the neighbors were on half of our site and were no where to be found. Luckily they had a slightly larger a electric/water site next to the busy State Park Road. Loud traffic all day and night till 11:00.pm, We had the view of a permanent campers crap pile. The beach across the street was a filthy mess. They said we could dump on our way out in an open full hook up

I visit Presque Isle and Erie countless times each summer but yet I've never been able to stay at Sara's Campground. That finally changed recently. I attribute some of my success to being able to stay there on a non-weekend day, as the campground does not take reservations for tents.
The location of this camp simply cannot be beat and the prices are fair, especially given the prime real estate you get by being there. You are on the sandy shores of Lake Erie, right at the entrance to Presque Isle State Park. Waldameer Park is literally right next to this place; one of the roller coasters
