We stayed at Grand Lake St. Marys State Park Campground—Ohio’s largest inland lake—and this is NOT what we expected…
We thought we found a quiet lakeside campground… but within minutes of arriving, something was off. The smell, dead fish everywhere, and even a sign warning us to avoid the water had us questioning everything.
So… is this campground actually worth visiting?
In this video, we share our full experience camping at Grand Lake St. Marys State Park, including:
First impressions of the campground
What’s really going on with the lake
Our honest review (the good, the bad, and the smelly 😅)
Exploring nearby towns like Celina and Wapakoneta
And a few unexpected surprises along the way
Ohio State Parks were recently ranked the #1 state park system in the country—but does this one live up to that?
If you’re planning an RV trip, love campground reviews, or are just curious if YOU would stay here… this one’s for you.
