South Bass Island State Park

The park offers a variety of overnight facilities including a modern campground.

Campground

• Full hook-up, electric and non-electric sites available
• Half the sites are “tent” only
• Flush toilets, showers, and a dump station
• Vehicles (incl. golf carts) limited to one per site; overflow parking available
• Campers must have reservations (no walk-in sites)
• Sites may be reserved from May 1 thru mid-October

Things to note

• The Ferry cost $120 round trip, which included a truck and 20ish foot RV
• The pricing at the Island General store isn’t that bad, and it has fresh fruit and vegetables 
• Renting a golf cart is totally worth it as it is much more difficult navigating the island with a car or truck.  We suggest The Golf Cart Depot as it has the nicest, most affordable carts.
• There is a gate code to get into the park.  Be mindful that people do troll around looking to obtain the code at the entrance.
• While you are there, check out the OSU Stone Laboratory.  They continue to do great research on the island and have a pretty cool observatory.  Check the hours before your visit.
