About Kelleys Island Campground
Natural Features and SceneryLocated on the north shore of Kelleys Island in Lake Erie, the campground sits right on the water with multiple **lakefront bluff sites** overlooking the lake.[1][3] Many sites are shaded by mature trees and the setting is described as quiet, pastoral, and a good mix of water and land.[2][3] There is a **sand beach** with a very gradual, shallow entry that’s especially good for kids, plus a fishing pier and rocky shoreline in other areas.[2] Campers frequently mention beautiful lake views, cool breezes off Lake Erie, and easy access to the island’s natural limestone and shoreline features.[1][2][3]

Good to know
Common complaintsCommon complaints include **bathhouse and shower conditions**, with some reviewers calling them outdated or poorly maintained at times—reports of inoperable showers, leaking toilets, wet floors, and occasional lack of toilet paper in peak periods.[1] Another recurring negative theme is **noise and rule enforcement**: some campers describe late‑night drinking, loud music, dogs off‑leash or on the beach despite rules, and limited staff presence to address issues, especially during busy summer weekends.[2] A few reviewers criticize Ohio DNR for higher fees and strict reservation policies while not adequately managing behavior and maintenance.[2] One review cites a bad experience at a Rent‑A‑Camp unit that was reportedly dirty, and another notes the dumpster placement on site 32 causing odor.[1]
