We also usually try to time it so that we go to Cedar Point on a weekday, and after Ohio schools have already started for the year. You'd be surprised at how well this has worked out for us.
Good news! This year Cedar Point has launched a promotional campaign they're calling Michigan Days, and it's aimed directly at people like us. Michigan residents can save $15 off the admission price through Sept. 2.
Wonderful!

Visit Cedar Point and Save $15 Now Through Sept. 2!
Ohio Students Back in School!
SANDUSKY, Ohio – Reading, writing and arithmetic are now the topics of discussion as schools across Ohio open this week for the start of the school year.
However, just up north in Michigan, students and families have almost another two weeks of summer fun and can take advantage of some great savings!
To celebrate this reprieve from schoolbooks and homework, Cedar Point is offering Michigan residents a special end-of-summer deal where Michiganders can now purchase a one-day ticket to the Sandusky, Ohio, amusement park/resort for only $34.99, a savings of $15, now through Friday, Sept. 2. Plus, with Ohio schools in session, guests from up north will seemingly have the park to themselves.
During Michigan Days, these special end-of-summer tickets are only available online at cedarpoint.com/Michigan. Proof of Michigan residency will be required. In addition to the $15 discount tickets, tickets for Juniors, age 3 and older, under 48 inches tall, and Seniors, age 62 and older, are only $24.99. Children, age 2 and under, are free.
Besides the Michigan Days tickets that offer savings of 30 percent per ticket, the park has a variety of money-saving deals that are only available online at cedarpoint.com. Now through Labor Day, the park is offering Pick-A-Date tickets that allow guests to pick a specific date to visit the park and save $12 per ticket. Tickets can be used on a different date with an upgrade.
There is also the Pay Once Visit Twice discount when guests can purchase admission tickets valid any two days through Oct. 30 for only $69.99, a savings of $14.99 per ticket. (Tickets must be used by the same person and do not have to be used on consecutive days.)
Cedar Fair Platinum Pass and Season Passholders at Cedar Point can also take advantage of Bring-A-Friend Sundays and save $30 on a ticket. Tickets must be purchased at the park on Sundays through Sept. 4.
Even more savings are available to guests who stay at one of the park’s resort properties and can purchase one-day tickets for only $29, a savings of $20.99 per ticket. Resort guests also qualify for Early Entry and can enter the park one hour before it opens to the public.
Cedar Point will be open daily through Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 5. (Daily operating schedule will vary.) The park will reopen for a Bonus Weekend and HalloWeekends, Friday nights, Saturdays and Sundays, Sept. 9-11 through Oct. 28-30.

RV Camping in Camper Village at Cedar Point.
First off, for us camping at Cedar Point — or any amusement park for that matter — is different than camping most anywhere else. We camp there for convenience, and nothing else. If you are expecting a state parks-like camping experience, you will be extremely disappointed.
Camper Village is divided into two sections: the Chippewa Circle (sites 1-112) and the Circle "B" (sites 113-224).
The Chippewa Circle is a million times better than the Circle "B". The sites are grassy and more spacious, you're closer to the swimming pool and this is where the full-hookup, pull-through sites are located. If you have a big rig, you'll want the Chippewa Circle.
The Circle "B" section is a parking lot, especially on weekends. The Circle "B" section of Camper Village (the concentric circles on the map, near Soak City water park) is tight and well-used. The bathrooms are probably as clean as they can be, given the amount of use they receive. In some cases, there's barely enough space to roll out your awning before you hit the camper next to you. However, the sites are level. We prefer the outer circle sites because you don't have someone behind you.
However, if you're like us and you only intend on sleeping there because you're going to spend all morning, day and night at either Cedar Point amusement park or Soak City water park, then the Circle "B" section fits the bill.
The main benefits to Camper's Village are it's only steps away from the water park and a side gate entrance into the amusement park, you get inside the parks an hour early and you get a $16.99 discount on daily admission (brings it down to $29). It's also nice to eat a healthy lunch at the camper (vs. over-priced fried foods inside the park). And when it rains, like it did for us last year, you can wait it out in the camper rather than fight for cover with thousands of other people.
Two dump stations and water are available. Ground fires are not permitted, although a grill (and picnic table) are at each site. Bikes are not allowed.
Bottom line: The Chippewa Circle section is better, but the Circle "B" section is fine, provided you have the right expectations.
