RV Sites are gravel w electric hookups. close to major highways. staff were friendly.
This is one of the best camping experiences I’ve had. Wonderful atmosphere and staff. Will totally be coming back
Dont go here if you expect peace and quiet. We were in a group campsite and there were partiers on both sides of us. Music blaring and yelling all night long. Complaining doesn't do any good either. Park ranger just went and said quiet time was at 10 but never came back around at night to check to see if people were abiding by the rules. Won't be going back. Too much money to spend only to have to put up with no sleep because of loud music and drunks.
Only A & B loop are suitable for campers. The other loops you have to pull off into the grass and " make it work" challenging to get close to level.
The owners are very nice, campgrounds are super clean, lots for my children to do. My only complaint is, it’s your typical campground where you’re right on top of your neighbor. If you don’t mind, it’s fine. We prefer to stick to state parks or places that offer more seclusion. Overall, would recommend!
It's very clean and huge. Lots to do.
This was my first time visiting. It’s a very large campground with lots of amenities. I’ve noticed a lot of bad reviews on other platforms about potholes and mud, and although some of that is true, it seems to be mostly on the KOA side. The only major potholes I have encountered are upon entering and exiting near the ranger station. The lot is gravel and very large for my small rig which was cool. It was nice and level, so I didn’t have to do much. I have great service here with my T-Mobile 5g internet as well as my starlink. Because it’s off season, there isn’t a lot going on, but I’m ok with that. I also appreciated the dog park that was well maintained to give my pup some freedom to roam off leash. I would definitely recommend.
Update: The only negative things I encountered while staying at this campground were the loud golf carts with their music blasting until late at night on the weekends. It seems like the same person would just cruise up and down the roads all evening. The other thing that wasn’t really an issue for me (due to being off season) were the limited amount of washers/dryers for the size of the campground. I can’t imagine what it’s like during peak season.
We came in at 10 pm in search for our site. It’s about a 1/2 mile from the main road. It’s a big place we noticed at daylight. Nice playground, appears they have some cabins to be rented, some sites were on the water, very clean and maintained. 40 miles from Greenwood, In. Sites are large and easy to maneuver our 42’ 5th wheel. Our site had full hookup, flat ground so easy setup. The only cos are- while the campground sign can be seen from the main road on the way in- it all disappears in the dark after you turn onto the road. It’s needs to be marked better. Had there been arrows or signs it would have made it SO much easier. Day or night. We felt our way to the office since there were a few roads going in opposite directions. The girl said she’d leave our paperwork at the office. No paperwork or maps. This little road is quite narrow, has some pretty tight turns with trees on both sides and in the night it’s hard to tell where the rear end of your camper is on the turns where there are trees close to the road, if it’s a long one like ours. So needing to back up would literally be a nightmare. We drove down this little road quite a while unsure if we were heading in the right direction for the office. An office sign finally appeared like a beacon in the night about 3/4 mile off the main road- but at that point if we would have been incorrect it would have been a long way to back up our 42’ in the dark on these little roads. A lot of campgrounds make this mistake. They don’t plan on people coming in at night into a strange campground. There were several roads leading in different directions and it was hard to tell which one was the “main” road had there been directionals showing which road went to which sites would have been helpful. Site numbers were hard to see unless you walked up to each site with a flashlight. Not sure why campgrounds make their site numbers so allusive. Either they aren’t marked at all, they’re so small you can hardly see them or there is no rhyme or reason as to where they put them. Consistency would be great!!!!! It was just very difficult to navigate in a strange campground in the dark. Like many I’m sure we ended up just walking in front of the truck with a flashlight to be able to see the numbers. We avoid setting up in the dark at all costs because it’s absolutely the worst but sometimes you just get caught for various reasons- and there should be a better way.
Beautiful campground. Great for all kinds of camping from primitive to full hook up. Tons of stuff for kids to do. Everyone was friendly. Facilities were well kept and very clean.
See note about Site 50 below before you book!
Needed to stay in Cincinnatti to visit friends, so decided to check out Winton Woods and we were so impressed! We had an electric-only site, which put us under established trees. The sites with water, sewer, and concrete pads are newer and nice, but the trees are still growing. So for the summer, I'd go with an electric only site to enjoy the shade.
The campground has a nice camp store with ice cream and other camping essentials (ice, firewood, etc) and the park has a great system of paved trails around the lake. The biggest surprise was a small laundry room that I took full advantage of: the washer was only $1.25 per (small) load and the dryer was 25 cents per 8 minutes. It wasn't fancy (and didn't have a change machine) but it definitely got the job done!
Even if we didn't need to stay IN the city again, I think we'd consider Winton Woods. But for an urban campground, it was amazing!
Important Note: We stayed in site 50. There is a large dip and hill leading up to this site. I would avoid for most travel trailers. We have an Airstream Basecamp, which has an aggressive departure angle and could handle the dip, but I think it would be problematic for most trailers.
I stayed at an electric only spot nestled in the trees by the lake. I was the only RV in this section all week and it was so peaceful and private. There is a fire ring, a picnic table and an oversized gravel spot with plenty of trees to hang my hammock from. The sounds of nature serenaded me throughout the week. The bathrooms were clean and dumping and getting water was easy.
Site was very small for 55$ a night, plus I was charged 30$ fee for a credit card terminal payment!! Didnt even tell me! Campers still pay for swimming per person! Staff was rude, all of them! Security guy is a little jerk and has a need to over compensate! And to top it all off there is a road with tire spike strips!! So it you go the wrong way, which is super easy because there are no rode signs, you will flatten every tire you have! Thats how much they care about their campers! I would not stay here for free! We camped at Hidden Paradise Campground in a Travel Trailer.

146 is not along river, but if you back in it is more private. Our corner site offered privacy when we pulled our trailer in forward onto the grass. However behind us, a trailer sits on high ground.
This place is off the beaten path by a lot, but it's so serene and beautiful. The non-electric site was almost all real primitive campers. There were tons of trees nearby for privacy and hammocking. There wasn't cell service in the non-electric area, but a walk to the main area/electric sites gave you service. There's some pretty cool trails in the woods and the sun too. Only real bad thing were the raccoons; they were an absolute menace. They started creeping out of the woods and in the fields around 7:00, a full 2 hours before sunset. Be vigilant with your food! Otherwise it's paradise
We stayed at Mystic Waters Campground for the Dave Matthews weekend and had the best time! It’s clean and the staff was so friendly. Our floats on the lake while listening to DMB on the speakers was just a perfect way to spend the day. Our shuttle to and from the show was great as well as the breakfast burrito I had one morning. This was everything and more!
Limited level campground with full and electric hookups (does have WiFi). Best areas are A (full hookups and B (electric hookups) with concrete pads, some with slight slopes. First sites #s on A side do have larger slopes! C through E are electric only but are hilly grass pads. Other areas are back in the woods with no WiFi connections and primitive bathrooms/ outhouses (no showers) But park has great recreational activities. Book early for weekends which are almost non existent during the summer for A and B areas! Also only one dump station in B area.
Good spots. A lot of people on weekends. The weekdays are a lot less crowded. Raccoons are along the edges of woods.
sites are close. scuba diving available as well as canoe rental. beach for swimming. waterfront sites are nice. well maintained.
Short hike to the lake. Great beach area and shower facilities. Pet friendly, horse trails, camp store. Liberty is a short drive and has all essentials plus J’s Dairy Inn 🤤
This is a nice little county campground outside of Cincinnati with easy access to the city. Prices are a little high, IMO, but the park is clean, neat, with lots of wooded sites!
I love it here. The owners are wonderful and the resort is beautiful. Lots are level and include a picnic table and fire pit, with nice space between sites. The campsite is immaculate and well appointed. There is a pretty pond, pool, and many activities for kids. I enjoyed the peaceful ambience and walking trails through the trees.
Great location across from Kings Island. Many activities within this campus. Many beautiful cabins.
amazing campground very quiet and clean
We had a lovely overnight stay when we went midweek. I imagine that the weekends are much busier. The showers are very clean and well-maintained. The camp store carries the basics. Although we didn't take advantage of the ranger programs, several looked interesting. We would go back again!
Great place for the family and to have some fun
I arrived later in the day after check-in hours but the campground host left a voicemail with clear instructions on what to do when I arrived. I love the location - close to a big city but far enough away to relax. The site I had was clean, included water, electricity, sewer and wifi. It was very close to a trail that went around the lake. I felt safe and it was gated. I would absolutely stay here again.
we stayed at this campground on a recommendation from a friend. it was insanely crowded, very small sites. children riding bikes everywhere made driving a bit scary. we did manage to find some trails and escape the crowds for the afternoon but we’re not impressed enough to return.
