Grand Lake St. Mary's State Park

Flat, open, near the Erie-Ohio River Canal

We loved the location of this campground. It is close to Saint Marys, OH, almost in town. It is a very accommodating, RV parking opportunity with some interesting things in the area. We road our bikes down to New Bremen to visit the excellent Bicycle Museum. While the towpath between Saint Marys and New Bremen is grass and therefore not acceptable for biking, a librarian at the local library provided us with a map and a recommendation for a route. The route was a very lightly traveled backroad, and, better yet, relatively flat.

The canal towpath going north is paved and makes an excellent exploratory trail.

The park is large and sits on Grand Lake Saint Marys. Lots of flat, paved campsites. Okay bathrooms and showers. Lots to do in the park, inluding 3-wheeled bikes.
