Hi,We were thinking to plan a trip to Cedar Point Amusement Park in Sandusky, Ohio. We see the Amusement Park has it's own Campground. We were wondering if the on site Campground is any good or if there are any good ones nearby that we should consider. Obvious benefits of on site campground are closeness to go back and forth into the Amusement Park and no need to pay for parking because we are already there.If you have ever been to the Amusement Park, how was it? How many days should we plan and what are your thoughts on tickets. Are there any discounts out there. Any advice or help with planning would be greatly appreciated.Thanks.

Two days minimum. It's known for roller coasters, they have over 20 of them. The Lighthouse Point Section of the campground is what you want. Full hook ups, concrete pads, etc, etc. The older Wagon Wheel CG is W/E only (pretty sure) so avoid that part.Have Fun!

Here's a link to another forum. This rally has been in the "making" for several months now. It's got some good information here that may help you. Outbackers.com click here.

Great place! We spent 4 days in the campground, 3 days in the park. You will definitely want the lighthouse point section. It's $$$$$ but well worth it! I'll dig up a picture later.

I have gone at least 12 times in my life, but haven't been back in several years. Honestly, unless you have teenagers, it's not that fun for kids simply because the lines are so long that they get bored and lose interest. The newest coasters will likely have a 3 hour wait. My friend's 13 year old boys went there in July. From open to close they rode 3 coasters due to the line length. If you have younger kids, it might be better to find a smaller more local park. It's just so busy.We actually take a longer trip to a different park just because the kids only have to wait 30 minutes, or in some cases, not at all to get on a ride.

I was hoping to make a trip there this year, but not enough seniority to get any summer time off. But, in my research, staying at the campground is well worth it. Money saved on food, early admission into the park, money saved on parking, and the convenience of walking home is awesome. Downside in my research, if you are early to bed or a late riser, you won't like the noise from the park operations.
