We just spent the last week at Tall Timbers Resort and Campground. We needed to find a place central to Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland and North Carolina--Sandusky, Oh is as about as central as it can get! I started researching and found this resort. We needed to accomodate 27 people--8 family units consisting of 16 adults and 11 children under the age of 16. I came across Tall Timbers who rents out RV's in their RV park, and has primitive tent camping sights for those who wanted to 'rough' it. Looking at their website I learned there was a stocked lake you could fish from and also swim in. In the swimming area they had a Wibit inflatable water playground as well. What is a Wibit--I will tell you in a second. They also have a decent playground that kept all the kids entertained! It included a merry go round and a basketball court with hoops at different levels, so all the kids were able to play basketball. There was an awesome field there to fly kites! We ended up renting 2 RV's and 4 campsites for the weekend, and I decided that we would just stay the whole week and vacation in the area. We stayed in a tent site for the weekend and moved to an RV/park model for the rest of the week. Each site has a fire ring and picnic table. It was a blast to make s'mores or moon pies with the kids every night. It was a fun, quiet place to visit away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but not to far of a drive to get to alot of the attractions of the area. If you are looking to visit the part of the states, I would check it out! They also have alot of events going on. They had a viewing of the 'Lego Movie' and craft time that the all the kids enjoyed, and my dad enjoyed the yard sale that the seasonal members participated in. It was a pleasant alternative to a hotel, and a chance to meet some new people!
Wibit Water Playgrounds---it is an inflatable obstacles for the water. My kids loved them! They are decent swimmers in our swimming pool, but in a 10 foot lake with no wall or ladder, I was a bit worried. They had a blast though and enjoyed every minute of it!
Stay tuned to see our adventures of swimming in Lake Erie, feeding wildlife out of our cars, indoor water parks and more!
