If you want to kick back in beautiful island surroundings, Middle Bass Island may be a great place to visit.
They have wonderful facilities. If you are a boater, visiting by boat is an amazing experience. The marina is a first rate facility.
Though Lonz Winery is now only a museum, the architecture is pretty amazing to find in a state park and they have winery facility tours on Thursday and Saturday [check the seasonal schedule].
If you enjoy primitive tent camping, the sites are beautifully secluded and well maintained. Might pick a site not too close to the house that looks like a feature of the Stranger Things Netflix series.
You can get there via the Miller Ferry if you aren't a boater. There is also transportation to popular Put in Bay [just across the bay], if you are looking for a little nightlife.
There are also some local restaurants/bars.
Island Grind, located in the Press House at Lonz Winery, offers great early morning coffee. The also have sandwiches, dessert, a full service bar and Trivia the night we were there. Service was fun and friendly
Middle Bass Island General Store truly has everything from groceries to hardware and apparel. The attached, Uncle Joe’s Pizza has an awesome oven that cranks out some great food.
JF Walleye's was closed, but looked interesting and also offered golf cart rentals.
St. Hazards has various activities such as cabin rentals, a pool, bar, putt putt, apparel and golf...

This year we are here for 2 days and when we arrived yesterday they apologized for the pigeon droppings on the dock and said that the equipment was broke and they would do it Thursday.

Looks like they did A&B docks again ( was done yesterday) and they did a small portion of ours ( C dock ). Unfortunately for us it wasn’t near our boat. There are 2 boats on C dock next to each other. You would think they could of cleaned our area. We love to put our lawn chairs on the dock and sit but unfortunately it is so disgusting i don’t even want to walk on it. It is a health hazard and i am glad there are no children with...
Read moreYears ago my husband and I we're looking for a place to get away, stumbled upon Middle Bass Island campgrounds. Packed up and went for the weekend and explored the island. Love at first sight. One of the cool things is you have to take a ferry from mainland to the island. It's about a 40 minutes ferry ride. Once you arrive at the island you are in front of the old winery which is now open for visitors. It is a very cool place. There's a general store several restaurants and many sites to take in. There's campgrounds, a boat marina and little cottages to rent. If you're looking for a place to get away and haven't been, you should go. We've been going for the last 4 years and still...
