Kelleys Island State Park

We stayed here over Labor Day weekend 2015 and had a great time! The staff was pleasant and helpful. We interacted a check-​in, and went up there to buy wood/​ice a few times. They helped us with maps and answering questions about places of interest on the island. The campsite had a lot of trees/​shade, and was close to the restroom but not too close (#41). We brought out bikes and rode all over the island– the campground is clean (especially the bathrooms) and very well-​maintained. The beach is walking distance, and very nice. On the weekend boaters bring their boats and dock near the shore. You can hear their music, and it is a very festive vibe. Glacial grooves are right across the street (interesting to see) and there is very good snake & toad hunting on the island (if your kids are into that sort of thing). We’ll definitely go back and stay here again!

Stayed here for three nights and enjoyed it! It was nice to be right on the beach and being able to see the lake from our campsite. Bathrooms were clean. At check in the staff in the camp office was extremely rude to a couple in front of us and seemed to be very irritable with people checking in. I know they are fully booked and they probably deal with a lot but come on. Actually that was just one lady and the other staff was very nice. I liked the little camp store and the side trail down to the beach. There was a lot of poison ivy behind our site so be careful when walking through the woods! Altogether well maintained and it was a fun campsite.

I spent a night here in mid-​September, which is definitely NOT the high season. However, we had a nice time and really enjoyed the location. The park was pretty quiet. They have a lot of great tent and RV spots. The ones nearer to the lake are a little closer together, but away from the lake, the spots had a lot of space. There is a separate with-​pet area, so you can avoid that scene if you want. The bathrooms were in great condition, especially considering it was the end of the season. The park is right across the street from the glacial grooves, which is a cool bit of ice age history. I will probably be back someday in the future.

We have stayed here on several occasions! Love the location! The bathrooms were clean but tended to be clean at inconvenient times. The people were incredible friendly! The beaches were clean and well-​maintained! Trails and glacial grooves were nearby. We will return!
