Soaring Eagles is about 4 miles west of Port Clinton, 13 miles north of Ohio Turnpike Exit 110. Our 3.4 acres sit just 1 mile off Lake Erie. If you have questions or want more information, please don't hesitate to ask. While we are accepting just 1 rig at a time for now, please contact us if you are traveling in a group, arriving/departing at the same time. (We have the parking space, but passing/parking multiple units may be tight if you’re not together) Important to know - our property is directly adjacent to a highway but traffic does die off for the most part in the evenings. We are also within a half mile of a very active railroad crossing - there will be trains and train horns. Additionally, if you are sensitive to gunfire or loud noises, be advised - Camp Perry is 1.5 miles away; this facility hosts shooting events, military training, and weapons/ballistics testing - you may hear this, mainly during the daytime, on and off at any time of year. So, while our property is in the country, it is not as quiet as some would hope to enjoy while camping. Also remember, this location is in a wetland/coastal area - along with the wildlife, there will be mosquitos/flies during warm months. (Sorry, we suffer through them too!) We can provide local information if you wish or give you privacy/space to explore the area on your own. If we are out enjoying our patio, dock, or a campfire, please feel free to join us if you are so inclined. Suggested Local Attractions: Port Clinton, Camp Perry, Sandusky, Cedar Point, the Lake Erie Islands, Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge, Magee Marsh Wildlife Area, Marblehead Lighthouse, Catawba Island. Visit “Ohio’s Lake Erie Shores & Islands” online @ https://www.shoresandislands.com/ for a complete rundown of the area.

If you'd like a campfire, there is a fire-ring near the driveway; please do not move it. *** Smokers; do not leave butts on property. *** No cleaning fish on property. *** You may use generators between 9AM and 9PM; Outside these hours - please ask first. *** PETS must be attended, and you must clean up after them. Please do not leave pets in your unit unattended if you leave the property for more than a few hours. Pets may be off leash if you are exercising them, but otherwise please keep them tied up. If they are small pets, you will want to be with them outdoors at all times - Bald Eagles are overhead daily, and actively hunt the area. There are also the occasional owl or coyote looking for meals at night. *** Feel free to walk around the property and pond, however some local wildlife burrows - the ground may be uneven especially near the pond - please watch your step! *** No swimming or fishing in the pond. The floading dock is off limits unless we are present. *** Children must be accompanied by an adult if near the pond (As a parent you should appreciate the risks of open water as much as we do) There is plenty of yard otherwise for them to enjoy; please set boundaries for them.
Location
Please park anywhere on the stone/gravel of the driveway circle. Remember, the further away from the garage, the more cords/hose you will need if wanting electric or water. Both are near the entrance door to the garage. If you need to fill water, you may do so at any time you wish. Travel to the property is easily accessible to any size rig, just a few hundred feet off OH2. We have a large, level, circular driveway with only a slight grade where it enters the roadway. There are no obstructions or low hanging trees. The driveway is more easily accessible when entering from OH2 to the west. The drive has a westerly angle to it which may make it more difficult for rigs to enter from OH163 to the east. We use the driveway from both directions with a 32’ Class-C (223” wheelbase) w/towed vehicle. Tow/Towed Vehicle parking anywhere on gravel near your unit.

This is our third stay at Soaring Eagles. We were graciously hosted for the solar eclipse, and the experience was amazing. There’s so much to do in this area. On this visit, we explored the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge and East Harbor State Park. Each time we visit this area there is something different to do. Our hosts are friendly and helpful. Connectivity in the area is great. The spot is level and an easy in and out. Thank you again, Dennis and Trish, for your wonderful hospitality. We’re glad we we’ve become friends!

Dennis, the host was very personable and accommodating. he told us things that we could go see in the area that would be of interest. the setting in his backyard was very pretty with a little pond and foliage. Close to Port Clinton. We went to the wildlife preserve in the area as well.

It’s a comfortable stay at Soaring Eagles. Dennis and Trish go out of their way to provide whatever you need. This is our second stay here and this time it was during the off-season. Still plenty to do. We explored East Harbor State Park and found Ohio’s oldest dairy in Sandusky. Ice cream selections. There are beyond your wildest dreams Dennis and Trish provide tour books of the area and all the information you need for a wonderful time. Thanks again!

Host met me when I arrived and made sure I had everything I needed. The guide to local attractions was great and the host's list of important things to know, including wifi, local hospital, emergency vet, and even the local NOAA station so I could set my weather radio was fantastic. The location was super convenient too. If I'm ever passing through the area again I know exactly where to stay.

Host are excellent need I say more about them! Location is easy to find and easy to park not much to do for leveling. Lot to do in the area we visited Kellys Island and Marblehead lighthouse. Both or worth the trip to see. Had a really good breakfast at Lattitude Cafe in Marblehead highly recommended. As stated there is traffic and some train whistles but hey with all the other positive things it easy to overlook that. We do appreciate the hospitality and hope your head is feeling better. (lol)
