Thank you! Can't wait to go to Nimisila. I reserved a campsite there but got rained out back in May. I'll try in August for the Purple Martins! - John

Pymatuning!

I live 5 minutes from East Harbor and it is horrible! The drunks from Put in Bay normally come back to the mainland and stay here! The campsites are stacked on top of each other and theres no shade! AVOID EAST HARBOR!
