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!
That looks like great fun! :)
