Sara's Campground

While staying at Sara's Campground, you'll be moments from the beautiful Presque Isle State Park. This state park covers over 3,000 acres of a peninsula overlooking Lake Erie. The peninsula creates Presque Isle Bay, which is a popular spot for a variety of watersports thanks to the bay's calm waters. Boating and fishing are both popular here, and anglers can expect to find muskie, perch, bass, and more in the bay. Swimming is also a favorite pastime, and Presque Isle has some of the best freshwater beaches in the country. If you want to explore the extent of the peninsula, there are roughly 11 miles of trails that lead through the area's woodlands. Erie campers may want to visit another nearby lakeside state park during their stay. Geneva State Park is located across the state line in Ohio and features over 600 acres of sandy beaches, marshes, and woodlands along Lake Erie.

If you'd prefer to explore the park's interior, there are six miles of trails leading through the park's dense trees and freshwater marshes. During the winter, these trails are great for cross-country skiing and snowmobiling.
