What to do at Presque Isle State Park: Camping Swimming Biking and more

We love to explore new places but we are so thankful to have the nature oasis of Presque Isle State Park when we are home in Erie Pennsylvania! In this video we were excited to share some of our favorite activities to do year-round on the peninsula along with a camping trip to Sara's Campground at the foot of Presque Isle.

[@AndyandRachel]

It's funny how traveling all over has helped me appreciate this gem in our hometown. Hope you make it and enjoy soon :) On the other hand, if you wait long enough for us to renovate our camper we would have a place for you to stay for free.

[@MattandRachelTravel]

@@AndyandRachel Oooo how fun! Good luck with the camper renovation.

[@kaitsdiary]

[@OSMOneStepMore]

Really great shots and beautifully captured details of the oasis of Presque Isle State Park. You are truly lucky to live in Erie Pennsylvania because it offers so many opportunities. The two of us especially enjoy visiting the Čikola and Krka river canyons here in Croatia. That's why we have a lot of videos of that area. Greetings from Sretana & Zac❤❤🔥🔥💖💖

[@AndyandRachel]

Oh cool! Thanks for checking this out. Sounds like we both enjoy being on the water.

[@AndyandRachel]

Thanks for visiting. We must agree that it's a pretty sweet spot :) Hope the two of you are enjoying some beautiful adventures.

[@SantosChronicles]

I’m so jealous watching this video right now. It is -15 degrees right now. We went camping for the first time as a family this past summer. You guys are pros. In Boy Scouts outings when I was young I spent a lot of time in the arcade. So much to do there. Your dog and kids are living the life. Ok cold winter happens there also 🥶. Glad you got rescued.

[@AndyandRachel]

haha you got it! Cold winter is here for now. Thanks for watching through the video. I have to say the dreamy camping trip we took over the summer now seems so far away. Hope you and the fam are keeping safe and warm. What kind of camping did you all do over the summer? tent? cabin? Would you recommend the place? Have a good one and thanks for stopping by :)

[@SantosChronicles]

@@AndyandRachel Tent Camping with a hiking youtube family. Let’s say I didn’t even take the tent out of the box till we got there. And it was a pop up tent. Just throw and it assembles. Somehow it worked.

[@100TourKorea]

Wow! What a beautiful and lovely park! You can enjoy various kinds of activities! Thank you for introducing us to this beautiful park, my dear friend! Hello! Greetings again from 100tour KOREA! Stay in touch, my dear friend! See you! Have a wonderful week!

[@AndyandRachel]

Thank you for watching this from Korea.

[@PogiboyProductions]

That's a nice state park, glad you got to bring the dog and the kids out... world's cleanest camping toilet lol... I bet you guys had some good camping stories.. and caught some pretty sunsets!

[@AndyandRachel]

You’re so right, Vern 😊 hehe nothing like the worlds cleanest camping toilet 🚽 Thanks for checking this one out. Hope you’re keeping warm

[@AndyandRachel]

Thank you for leaving all of these kind words. We send all the good vibes back over to you 😊

[@NicoleHikesalot]

Amazing park id love to visit it. So much to do. The hot dog day looked fun and great site. Love the old diner vibe and the beach was amazing. Kayaking and hiking looked great. Great winter footage too. Awesome job on putting together this all season video ❤😮 Great hiking trails. No entry fee is wonderful. We pay 7 per Indiana resident or 50 a year for our state parks. That was an unfortunate situation in the end. Good thing Andy was there soon.45 minutes... Cold. Glad you were ok. Yes would be great if people were more helpful.

[@AndyandRachel]

Hi Nicole, we really appreciate how you checked out the entire video! This is for sure a place that’s very special to us. It’s so nice to have something to miles down the road when our hearts want to travel. When we need to stay in town. It’s so good to get away here. I just love seeing all the places that you hike your Indiana resident pass is a good price. I’m happy to give to her state parks, particularly this one. I hope you’re having an amazing day. 😊

[@OAKbyBetina]

Hello Andy and Rachel. Long time no see. So happy to see your wonderful trip. Take care and stay warm.

Such a cool place! We have a place kind of like that back home, Bluff Point State Park, where growing up we mostly just used the bike trails and only recently discovered some of the hiking that leads off to the side!

[@AndyandRachel]

Isn't it crazy how we can miss things like that right in our home towns!?! Glad you found a local oasis too :) Thanks for checking this one out.
