East Harbor State Park Campground
East Harbor sprawls along Lake Erie’s shoreline with 570 campsites ranging from primitive to full hookup, making it one of Ohio’s largest state park campgrounds. The lake-facing sites offer sunset views, while interior loops provide more shelter. Amenities include showers, dump station, boat launch, and sandy beach. Gets packed on summer weekends — reserve ahead.
Located on the Marblehead Peninsula, it’s a solid resupply point with nearby grocery stores and fuel. The park road connects to SR 269, providing easy access to Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge trails 30 minutes east. Open year-round, though water may be shut off in winter.
