Here is my campsite.  Home sweet home for the next few days.  Most sites are pretty good.  At the end I will try to give some good and some bad sites, so that if you do call ahead to make a reservation at least you have some idea what you are getting.

 

In the evening, if your not going into town to eat dinner then camping out requires you to cookout right at you sight.  A freshly roasted bratwurst and a pot of stew or soup is excellent camping food.  Don't forget those marshmallows for later on.  Also you can buy fire wood back at that store I mentioned that is right on the corner as you come in to the park.  I think it was $5 per bundle.  Depending on how late you stay up you will need at least two bundles to cook with and sit around. Then one or two more throughout the night as you wish.  I always figure on $15 per night on wood ( 3 bundles).  If you have a gas or propane coleman stove then bring it.  I always bring my propane stove with me.

 

As you leave the park, make a left (the lake is to your right)  This road takes you all the way into town.  This is the main grocery store.  As the road curves to the left coming into downtown Put-In-Bay, the store is on your right side.  You can't miss it. Just to the left of the grocery attached to the same building is a restaurant called Tippers.  Here is a great place to eat.  They seem to always serve buffets.  The prices are not that
 bad either.

             

The tallest structure and always the most visible is Perry's Monument.  During your visit I would recommend at least one visit here.  I think it was $6 for a tour.  They  take you up in an elevator and give you the run down on the history of Capt. Perry.  Also it is a really cool view from the top.  You can see all the islands around South Bass. All throughout the Island you will find bicycles, two person, four, even 8 person golf carts to rent.  I have always driven my jeep but, I did look at there rates and they were pretty good.  Here are some futuristic new cars the had just gotten in.  They actually look pretty cool driving around. There not very fast but, hey, your on vacation right !!
