(Reminder: We do not take reservations for tent camping.)

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 10x9 (6 persons). 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 motorhomes/trailers 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.
