We are loving Ohio State Parks. In this video, we drive around Maumee Bay State Park and show you day-use areas, lodge, cottages, and campsites. This is a large park covering 1,336 acres.
Maumee Bay State Park is located in Oregon, Ohio on the shores of Lake Erie. You can't see Lake Erie from the campsites but can bike or drive there. There are many ponds, an inland swimming lake, a golf course, paved and grass trails, wildlife, and peaceful picnic areas.
What we love about Maumee Bay State Park:
1. Large, private sites. Sites are level, have soft grass, and some have trees.
2. Ponds, lakes, Lake Erie
3. Wildlife - You will see deer here. We saw many deer, other critters, and a variety of birds.
4. Quiet and peaceful even on the weekend due to the layout of the campground. Campsites are located on spurs so even if the all sites are occupied, it doesn't feel full.
5. Weekend activities - Check at the check-in station because these events change.
6. Close to towns and supplies. Toledo, Ohio is just five miles away.
7. There are some FHU sites on the first spur.
8. Paved and grass trails to hike, bike, or run.
9. Oregon Inn Restaurant, has good food just minutes from the park.
10. Campsites are reasonably priced. No added vehicle fees, bonus!
What we didn't love about Maumee Bay State Park:
1. Most sites are electric only, but there is a water fill station at the dump station area. This is definitely not a deal breaker. Just plan accordingly.
2. Know that Ohio State Parks reservation system will kick you off after 15 minutes even if you are active on the site. If you are like me and you like to look and read about available sites, you may exceed that time. It also happened when I tried to reserve for more than one park. Plan accordingly.
We are so happy that we found availability at Maumee Bay State Park. It was a great visit. Happy travels!
