South Bass Island State Park

1523 Catawba Avenue, Put-in-Bay, OH 43456, USA

(419) 285-2112

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.
