Maumee Bay State Park Campground

My wife and I stayed here on a trip across the country. We wish we could have stayed more than one night. Maumee is beautifully manicured and clean. Check in was very easy. The trails are wondeful and lead to stunning views of beaches along Lake Erie. Our site was a level asphalt pad with plenty of room for our RV and the toad. We highly recommend a stay here.

Highly recommend. The campground is part of a larger complex on Lake Erie with clean beaches, a conference center, miles of bike trails, and wildlife areas. It's hard to go wrong with RV sites here; virtually all of the ones we saw had new shore power hookups (50 and 30 amp), asphalt pads, and large private and landscaped lots. Water fill-ups are at various points around the campground. The dump station and dumpsters are at the entry point for the campground. Bike rentals are available at the the well-stacked camp store, which also is at the campground entrance.
May flies can be expected in May and June. They are harmless but get a tad annoying at dawn and dusk, but are a minor inconvenience.

We only used power and water for one night as we were continuing cross country. But what a great spot. Nice private area with trees and grass. Amazing bike path on the water and we saw deer grazing in the fields. The hosts were beyond friendly and gave us restaurant options. We biked to The Oregon Inn and had a great meal. We didn't check out the bathhouses or laundry.

Site 63: Site is huge, very nice and level with privacy and shade. A great walking path around the pond just behind us for dogger. The Beach was highly disappointing as the Erie beach was closed due to algae toxins and the little lake beach had high bacteria warnings…no day at the beach for us as we had expected, but the camping was great.

We followed our RV GPS right into Oregon, OH, and the park. There were plenty of signs to Maumee SP and then signage through this huge park to the campground (CG) area. Check in was quick and easy at the gate. There’s plenty of RV parking out front and you walk into the gate office building to check in. As we were on electric only, we asked about water and were told we could go to the dump station or in our CG loop. We choose the dump station where there are 2 potable spigots, one on each side of the 2 dump lanes station. In retrospect, we were glad we filled at the dump station because the spigot near our site was broken and we would have blocked traffic. As a side note, the spigot was fixed the next morning. We then drove to site 137 with 50/30/20 AMP but no water or sewer. Back-in was easy with the site being large enough for our 39’ 5th wheel and F450. However, we did park a little horizontally to ensure we were well off the road as this was the 4th of July weekend. We choose the 119-144 Loop, site 137 because of the nice water view off the back of the site. Many of the sites in the CG, and especially in our loop have shrubs or hedges between the sites providing great privacy. What we did not know was that 137 lacked shrubs on the yard side thus, we had a clear view of the camp host site next to us. Also, the loop's power station was on our site. We noted after our arrival that sites 136 and 139 (also with water view) were the most spacious and private in this loop. Those two sites were among the CG’s top 10 sites in our opinion. We had 4 bars on Verizon and plenty of OTA channels. Due to trees within some sites, satellite could be iffy. Within the CG, two loops share a central restroom/shower house. The shower house near the activities shelter also has a small laundry. The first loop has the CG’s full hookup sites but only sites up to the turn-around, i.e. 1-11 and 21-29; the sites in the cul-de-sac part of the loop were electric only. We also noted that the best or most private sites tend to be on the backside of the turn-arounds in each loop. We enjoyed the multiple bike and walking trails plus the golf course. We took our dogs for a walk on the Mouse Trail that’s a grass and dirt trail that goes around the entire campground area. We enjoyed the trail although some spots were muddy due to recent rain. However, we were surprised how close the western side of the CG is to a subdivision and realized this was where all the firework noise came from over the 4th of July weekend. The subdivision is about 150 to 300 yards through the woods away depending on your site. There are also two large beach areas near the lodge and golf course that we did not utilize but a lot of people did and there was plenty of space available. If we were to stay here again, we’d probably stay on the eastern side loops away from the sub-division.
