For anyone attending both days and staying the night Saturday, we be camping out at Crystal Rock Campground .

If you wish to stay at the campground with us, please post up and let me know. I will be calling and having them block off a few campsites for us.
Campsites are $30/night, but they allow two tents per site - if we split, the cost should be around $15-20 per tent.

If you don't like tent camping or don't have a tent, they also have rustic cabins at the rate of $60-70/night. If you would like this option, please call and make a reservation with the campground.

If you prefer not to stay at the campground, there are numerous hotels in the Sandusky area to choose from.

After dinner on Saturday, we will head back to the campground and hang out around the campfire. I will bring stuff to make popcorn and smores. They also have a game room with ping pong/air hockey/pool table/video games (although I'm not sure it will still be open by the time we get back.)

Less than a month away now!!

I usually get people asking about Cedar Point tickets for Sunday, usually whether or not we do a group buy. We don't do a group buy, but there are a few options for discounted tickets. Prices at the gate are $61.99.

Here are a few of the options that I know of:

Cedar Point sells passes on their website cheaper than at the gate, and sometimes they run great deals and specials. Currently, they are selling one day tickets for 49.99, and Ride and Refresh tickets (with unlimited fountain drink wristbands) for $54.99. Check here for ticket options and prices: https://www.cedarpoint.com/ticket-ca...Daily-Tickets#

Meijer and Discount Drug stores sell passes for $49.99 at their stores. We will be meeting up at Meijer before we head to the park, so you can stop in and purchase one if you need to.

If you are a AAA member, they have tickets for $48 and Ride and Refresh tickets for $50.99 (must be purchased at AAA office, Cedar Point will not offer AAA discount at their gate)

If you know of any other discounts, please post up!

Just some reminders for anyone coming out this weekend:

I you plan on coming out Saturday or Sunday, but can't meet up with us in the morning at the time we leave (see schedule at top of page), feel free to send me a pm, and I can give you my phone number so you can call/text to find out where to meet up with us.

If you plan on coming back to the campground with us Saturday night to hang out around the campfire, don't forget to bring a camp chair and any snacks/beverages you want. Guests are allowed until 11:00 PM (not sure how strict the owners are with that policy)

If you are staying for Cedar Point on Sunday, we will probably leave the park mid-way through the day to come back out to the cars to eat lunch. We can either eat in parking lot by the cars or they also have a pavilion with picnic tables. Bring a camp chair and any food and drink you want.

That's all I can think of right now. Weather is looking to be dry so far, it should be an awesome weekend!!
