New (To Us) Campground With NO Amenities: Wolf Creek
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 06. 2024
- In this episode we traveled to a Brand NEW campground to us! Wolf Creek Campground is a Sandusky County park, located just South of Fremont, Ohio. @sanduskycountyparkdistrict9098
We found a new fresh water filter from @cleancamper we wanted to try it. So far we are happy with the water quality!
Here's a link if you also would like to try it: amzn.to/4bUrrny
This is an all DRY campground so we were able to continue to test our @Redodopower LiFePo batteries and our @BLUETTIOfficial PV350 portable solar panels. We love visiting parks like this that aren't popular and aren't busy so we can relax and do something without doing much at all.
If you are wanting things to do, or regular campground amenities, this park isn't for you. There's no fresh water, no dump station, no playground or activities and only 2 pit toilets. There is a walking/hiking path and up the road there is a canoe/kayak launch for the Sandusky River.
This park is also on the pricey side for a dry campground, it was $20/night with an $8 reservation fee. That is 'expensive' for 0 amenities but overall we are happy we visited and would come again.

The quieter the campground the better to enjoy
We do love a quiet campground! 😊
I absolutely love seeing Piper being Piper!! ❤️🐾
We love you too Guy!!❤️🐾
She was on a mission to kill all the flies this trip🤣 she's a great little killer lol she was bummed she couldn't get to the river though.
Guy loved just relaxing the entire time! ♥️🐾
We camped at Wolf Creek with our young kids in the late Fall of 1992. We were the only ones there until around midnight. At that time some bare-chested guy started driving in circles around the Park. We called the Sheriff and a Deputy stopped out to investigate. The guy had left and the Deputy made several trips through during the night. He said the Park was a “dating site.” We never went back. Glad you had a better experience.
Btw, our house backs up to the “Mighty Sandusky” some miles upstream.
We didn't have anything like that happen but there were what we will call squatters there (tried to stay without paying) but the county vehicles monitor the park so they only got away with it one day.
The owl is a Barred Owl, very cool! We have them in our woods and they can be very loud when close to our house.
This owl was quite loud and kept getting closer slowly over the night. It was such a loud and clear hoot! 🦉
so primitive camping in RV...ive done it in a tent.Looked like Piper was Lovin it there all out in the sunshine,
So have we, many many times
Just had 4 days on a cl. ( hideaway site in the uk) we were the only ones there... brilliant... no problem if the dogs barked a little... nothing in the way to spoil the fantastic views... we loved it..❤
That does sound perfect!
I’ve only once had the luxury of having the camping area to ourselves and for the 4 days we had it was amazingly peaceful only hearing Mother Nature.
Yes! We actually said to each other several times how peaceful it was here!
In the 80's we went to a campground in the Black Hills off Iron Mt. Rd. We found out about it from the brochures that are always all over the place. Every add was so commercial...Yogi Bear KOA etc. the wife found one that said "Do you like concrete pads, cable tv, mini golf and close camp sites? Well then don't come here!" Great campground. I'm not sure if it is still there.
Sounds like a great place to us!😊
Since ya'll are listening a shout out to your husband, thanks for teaching me to back a trailer! 😚
Sometimes nothing to do is exactly what you want to do. However it would get pretty boring for more than a couple of days. Keep the good stuff coming guys.
So true! It was great but I bet kids would hate it here haha
Our local county parks campgrounds in eastern Iowa are $25 for water/electric, and $30 for full hookups with sewer. This includes nice a nice shower house, and there is also dump stations for those without sewer access. The sites are very level and either nice gravel or concrete pads. I believe the "primitive" campgrounds here are $12/night. $20 for primitive is a bit high.
We agree. We stayed at a campground in Iowa for $12/night and they had amenities!
We stay and "Pink Jeep Campground" in the Back Country of Big Cypress National Preserve for a weekend. We had no cell service nor seen a single person for 3 days. Unfortunately, with our new trailer, we can't fit to get back there. It was great while it lasted lol
Love places like that!
@@WanderingWagners it was great! The only person we seen was a park ranger that checked on us and told us about a couple wild orange trees that were growing a few yards into the wooded area from our campsite. They were amazing! So relaxing there! Definitely would want to sleep on the ground though with all the gators lol
We have an ODNR campground not far from us, Hidden Hollow in the Fernwood State Forest. That we like to stay at when we want a quiet getaway. As long as you don't mine the gun range down the road lol.
Haha Guy would hate the gun shots but we've stayed near gun ranges before😊 it was a nice place that was mostly quiet for us so it worked out
Happiest at 11:01 am on Sunday when everyone leaves. P.S. hope tour cavity where your MultiPlus-II is has good ventilation. Mine is in front storage and just tested the storage temp and wow 108°F and had a high temp alarm on our Lynx controller...
We have good ventilation inside and we can keep the cabinet cracked open if we needed to.😊👍🏻
This park looked pretty nice for relaxing. Without solar, I'd be running my generator. One armed Fitchin' for the win! Nice job.
Our generator is pretty quiet too but we still don't like to run it non stop especially when we too enjoy the peaceful nature sounds😁 solar and batteries for the win this trip!
We like quiet peaceful campgrounds 🤷🏼♀️we like to get away from the hustle and bustle to regroup .
We agree! There are some who complain when campgrounds aren't busy enough... We are like, that's the best part!😂
Another great video! thanks for sharing.
We appreciate that! It was a nice peaceful trip for the most part😁
Ya'll come check out Huggy Bear Campground in Middle Point Ohio sometime. Opposite of Wolf Creek, there is so much to do. 3 pools, splash pad, putt-putt, pond, stage, campstore with foods like burgers, pizza, great breakfast menu and an ice cream machine. I have a drone video on my channel for a preview of the grounds if interested in learning/seeing more. Book now for next years St.Jude Benefit weekend. Bands, beer garden, silent auctions, raffles, 50/50 drawings...This campground is amazing. I transferred from Van Buren a couple years ago. Ran into you guys twice out there and would be good to see ya again in Middle Point sometime. Always enjoy your channel and content, thanks for sharing.
We enjoy all kinds of camping, primitive, to fancy resorts. We will look into this park. Never heard of it before. It is mainly seasonal campers?
@@WanderingWagners czcams.com/video/t-l4Qcp0bug/video.html
Yes, there are 100's of seasonal campers here but also plenty of room for the weekenders. I recommend getting a spot over by the dogbone pond, mini homes for your rig. Full hook up, nice level lots with grass and plenty of room for your pups. Bring your bikes, it is a very large campground. Stop out at the petting zoo and say hello to the turkeys and goats :-).
Give me a shout if you get something booked and i'll look forward to giving you the golf cart tour. Or, they also rent carts on site. The owner Mike Neise lives in a cabin on site and you always see him out taking care of the place the the people. Great guy and he has done a fabulous job with the campground. Also has big plans for property across the street, expansion has continued under his ownership.
Right off US30 Old Lincoln Hwy. and easy to find between Middle Point and Van Wert Ohio.
Love good bug dogs !
She's pretty good at it!
This one has been on my list for quite a while now. Now that I just installed solar, we may have to check it out.
Great place to do some testing!
We love mid week at core of engineers campground, 😊
There aren't a ton of COE parks around but lots of people tend to love them!
I really have enjoyed your videos on the solar batteries and other components. BTW pizza burgers are the best ! We used to have a pizza restaurant that did those ! Fabulous
Thanks! Happy to know you're enjoying the solar/batteries content. Sometimes it's hard to tell if they're enjoyed or not😂
The pizza burger was fantastic! We will definitely make pie iron burgers again🙌🏻
@WanderingWagners I'm looking into portable panels for my power station for a van for camping ! I'm looking at a Percron smart charger and truly have enjoyed your tests of bluetti of which mine is simular. Thank you
Looks like a clean, quiet place. I was watching with Heidi and as usual tail wagging with Guy and Piper and growling with Wade. 🤷🏽♂️
It was a quiet and relaxing place for the most part. Would make a good place for a group dry camping trip though!
How does Heidi know?!🤣🐾 We are happy she's good with Piper and Guy though
Nice audio of the Owl!
Thanks! He was pretty close and the audio came out better than I thought it would
Great video as always, glad to see Piper doing well, does my heart good to see that Piper being Piper.
Thank you! She's back to her crazy self... Just the way we love her to be🐾♥️
Sunny for you! Very weird!
It was for part of the trip😎👏🏻
Did I hear something about heavy metals? 😂 we need a new water filter so we will check this one out!
Only one time we were one of four campers and and three were our friends so only one other camper.
Yep gotta make sure those metals are GONE haha plus this does bacteria and made in the USA🙌🏻
We love having the campground to ourselves, or just a group of friends. One reason why we love Winter camping so much🤣
Probably why no one was there...no amenities and expensive. We wouldn't stay there. I do have a generator, but it would be nice to have water and a dump station. Thanks for taking us there and glad you enjoyed yourselves.
I think the price it too high for what you get but we do enjoy empty or near empty campgrounds!
Glad you both oops 4 of you had a great weekend.
Thanks! We had to get the fitches out to test their solar install haha
Pretty cool place. We'd go back.
Just not in the summer, right?🤣 Not unless you get another battery and more panels lol
@@WanderingWagners as long as its cool at night...
We went by there this past friday on our way to Fremont Speedway. We are currently at East Harbor till sunday.
We've been by it hundreds of times and this was the first time we web even drove in😂 cute park but gotta watch out for squatters. The county caught some when we were here trying to stay and not pay
I prefer the quiet and solitude.
Agreed.. It's weird when we read negative reviews for parks from people complaining that there weren't enough people there.😂
Alli said she didn’t remember you, Lynn being left handed like her. 😊
Yep! My whole life🤪
@@WanderingWagners nice!!!
Comfy.
Thank you! We enjoyed it
I would prefer an empty campground. Going this weekend to a similar campground in MN. Just pit toilets and some faucet water.
I’m setup for off grid and have an EcoFlow wave air conditioner with the extra battery.
Empty is better to us but we know people who don't want to go places unless it's a full house. Weird haha
Yes it will work.
When Mike does the work it generally always does😁
Did Mike notice, that owl hooted "CQ"?
Haha clever owl
Hey, be glad your not in FL. Its hot 98 for the 15 days in a row. BTW the Redodo batteries starting to see those fail with other YTer's. Nomadic Fanatic is the latest one.
I stick to battleborn I've always stuck with never had a problem with them and people that I know that had a problem with them they stand behind their product like anything the biggest thing is the battery manager they got to save money somewheres but I do know a lot of these people that have the lithium batteries run them down too low too
Stay cool down there
It looked like all were happy there...🙂
Thanks! We had a nice time once we got over the price for nothing😂
Looks good would like to get with Mike on solar for my class c
He could have a nice side gig installing solar on RVs I think
When your back dn around mansfield/Malabar let me know
Awesome video ❤❤
Glad you liked it😁👏🏻
I was getting hungry with all the food also good to see piper taking easy on you this time around 😂
@@Shottacle would have been a completely different outcome if there were other dogs on that trail😂🤦🏼♀️🐾
Price didn't sound unreasonable, considering what full hookups cost now days
Out west we normally pay $0 for primitive dry camping. I could understand maybe $5-10 total but anything more for 0 amenities is crazy.
I actually prefer to have the campground empty or as empty as possible when we camp we enjoy the peace and quiet the less people the better
We are with you there! We can tolerate full campgrounds but prefer empty
Andrea sent me audio of that owl farting. No State Campground has farting owls. You can’t put a price on that.
Need to go to a museum to be analyzed😂
Yay it worked
If Mike installed it... It'll likely work🙌🏻😁
@@WanderingWagners yep
❤ I love the video
Thank you!😁👏🏻
Oh and them fire ants in some places pets especially!
No fire ants here in Ohio
$20.00 for dry camping? Try going to Massachusetts. The state parks have tripled prices for out-of-staters. We showed up at a dry camping State Forest with zero amenities and found out it was $54.00/night for us Vermonters! Thankfully, the attendant said his system does not allow check-ins without a 24 hour prior reservation. He then said "If you leave a $20 cash donation on the announcement board, I will waive the 24 hr. requirement". We "donated" (to his beer fund no doubt) but Massachusetts State Parks are the most unwelcoming place for visitors this side of North Korea...
Yikes! There's a reason we don't frequent the North East💸🤦🏼♀️ For Ohio, $48 is a lot for primitive dry camping with no water, dump, or anything. I never understood the whole you must reserve x days ahead and pay reservation fees thing...
Bacon makes it better!!!
Yes it does!
Nice , when you got the bank you got AC and microwave! Yes….
You got that right!
If you already have a truck to pull a 5th wheel trailer. Is it smarter to get a 5th wheel trailer then you already have your vehicle at camps to travel around with? I'm just asking, it seems silly to drive around a RV hauling a vehicle to travel around with. If you have a truck to travel with and pull your home. Just need some different points and opinions on this. Thanks and love the show.
If you already have a truck large enough to pull a 5th wheel you want and you use it for other things, then it's fine to get a 5th wheel.
Most motorhomes can pull a pickup truck behind if you'd prefer a motorhome.
We have had both but prefer motorhomes. Just a personal preference👍🏻
Thanks, I think a 5th wheel will be my new camping project. I want to put all my money into it decking it out and changing things. I have a opinion in seeing too much wear and tear on more engines and tires with motor RVs.. thank you again and keep making your great shows. I love them so do a lot of others. Plus I went to diesel school Lima, Ohio when I was younger and I'm from Indiana.
If he keeps increasing the battery, in a few months you’ll have enough power to become a mobile EV charger
😂 let's not give him any ideas
I’d be more worried about ticks out that way??? And any poisonous insects like snakes and spiders!!!!
There are ticks but we use spray and check after walking in weeds and dogs are treated monthly. Not many snakes or spiders to worry about
We don't like crowds.
Yeah we are pretty much the same. We can deal with them but prefer empty
Spent several days in a primitive campground alone. Thats the way I like it! No offense to anyone!
We completely understand! One reason why we enjoy Winter camping is empty campgrounds haha
@@WanderingWagners All of my time outdoors is from Sept 1st to May 15th. I don't care for the hot months. I let families enjoy those months! lol You two have a good summer! Be safe!
But you don’t want the carbon dust particles in you ! Ugh
