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. There is no check in time for tent camping. Check out is 1:00 PM.
During your stay with us, the following tent camping rules will be in place:
• No visitors are permitted.
• No more than 2 adults and their children per tent.
• In the event you have an additional tent for your children, this tent must be touching yours.
• Tents will be spaced by management.
• Maximum tent size permitted is 14x10. Small dome tents are recommended!
• No parking on the beach; all parking will be in designated parking areas, and due to fragile beach conditions we no longer allow any campers on the beach.
• 1 car per registrant; additional vehicles may not be able to be accommodated.
• No open music on the beach, you must use your ear buds.
• We sell firewood at the camp store. We no longer permit you to bring your own wood.
Welcome to Sara’s Campground, offering camping along the shores of beautiful Lake Erie! Pitch your tent or park your camper on one of over 100 campsites nestled along both the bayside and lakeside beaches of the lake. Sara’s Campground is located directly between Presque Isle State Park, with over 12 miles of public beaches, bike paths and nature trails, and Waldameer Amusement Park and Water World.
The Story of Sara’s
It began with Sara, mother to the current owner, Brian. She arrived at the tender age of 14 with a 4th grade education from County Roscommon, Ireland. Sara’s father chose her, the hardest worker of 8 siblings, to travel to the United States to provide for the family. The early years of the “Great Hunger” left them desolate and poor. Her first paycheck was sent home to her family to purchase a cow … which was life changing! Her legacy of hard work, sacrifice and drive led us to where we are today!
We want you and your loved ones to make great meaningful memories, too! We appreciate and understand the sacrifices you make when choosing a family destination. Family has always been important to us, and that’s why our promise is to continue to strive for a clean, safe, family-friendly getaway. Let’s continue to make meaningful memories at Saras … it could very well be life changing!
