Lake Erie / Kelly's Island

You would be better served and cost effective to make early reservations at East Harbor. Make early res an it fills quickly. Kelly's is a nice day trip you can see it all in a day. Put In Bay is another nice day trip. Like Macanac Island, tee shirt and candy stores but with motor vehicles. Rent golf carts at both locations. Get a charter out of Port Clinton for Walleyes they also have head boat charters for less cost. If you like Cheese there is a Cheese sore with any type cheese you could wish for. Cedar Point is all in the same area. Nice park ride lines will wear humans out. Kids don't seem to tre put as we humans do.

There is a thick frost on the ground this morning and it already has me thinking about next camping season. Each year, we take the kids on a week or two vacation in June when they get out of school. Last year, we did a two week trip visiting family in NW Iowa, then to the Missouri River to do some walleye fishing and then Black Hills.

We are beginning to start thinking about next summer. We are interested in camping on Kelly's Island and visiting Cedar Point. Cedar Point Campground seems very nice however by the time I pay for 3 nights camping, 4 two day passes it was nearly $1,000. So, to stay within budget, I have been looking at Kelly's Island.

My thoughts are to stay on the island 5-6 night. On a couple of those days, we would jump on the ferry and head to Cedar Point and Put In Bay.

What are your thoughts about camping on Kelly's Island? Is it a pain to get on and off the ferry? How is camping on the island?
