The insider read
Only national forest in Ohio. Burr Oak Lake bordered by sandstone bluffs. Quieter than nearby state parks.

Near Sandusky
PrivateInsider tip · Closest full-hookup camp to Cedar Point. Cedar Point shuttle Sat/Sun. Mid-week off-season the best value for Sandusky bay area.

Your next step
Burr Oak Cove Campground (Wayne NF) takes rigs up to 30 ft, so what you arrive in decides whether the loop works at all. If you don't own one, the same trip runs on a motorhome rented in Ohio.
Nothing in Ohio is bookable today. Dated requests are what we take to owners, so give us the window you actually want — you get one email the day a rig covers it, and nothing else.
