Elevation1342 ft above sea level

Natural Features and SceneryDense woodland wraps most sites in shade and seclusion, a stark contrast to the open prairie potholes surrounding the lake. The heavy tree cover creates what several campers describe as feeling like "our own world." Lake Ashtabula itself supports bass and walleye fishing, swimming, and both power and paddle boating. White pelicans occasionally appear on the water. The campground sits at 1,342 feet elevation within the glacially-carved pothole region, where ancient ice sheets left behind a mosaic of wetlands and small lakes that draw migratory birds through the seasons.

Lodging & AccommodationsNo hotel-style lodges are available, though nearby accommodations in Valley City might suit visitors seeking alternatives.
