"There’s also some hiking and biking trails accessible from the main turnoff from the highway, so there’s plenty to do in the area if you’re stopping on through or staying a few days."
"we really enjoyed Big Bone. we went to their museum center on Saturday afternoon and walked the Bison trail to see the baby bison they had at the time. it was nice to have something different to do."
"Tent/RV sites were level and had lots of Shade and trees for Hammocks. 1.7 mile paved walking trail is great for walking, running and biking. A short 18 hole Disc Golf course is close by."
"The location is located on the lake with access to put in a kayak or canoe. The bathrooms are clean, with private combined shower/dressing stalls."

"Our favorite campsite for the outskirts of Cincinnati. Lots of great spots available! You can get to the lake in about a 15 minute drive."
"However I decided to focus on the positive. The trees are big and mature. The restrooms extremely clean, the shower a pressure washer. All good things in my book."

"The campground fills up fast and there were plenty of shaded electric sites close to the lake. There were also plenty of pull through sites for the big rigs."
"Playground and walk path well kept."
"We prefer site 18 which offers nice privacy and os next to a stream."
"It sat at one end of our site but right up against the site next to us, so trying to sit around a campfire would have been a little awkward. There wasn't any shade on the pull thru sites."
"There are showers, an awesome library, a store, laundry and walking trails"

"We were THRILLED to leave our cicada-infested northern Kentucky home and find that this park was blissfully free of Brood X cicadas. It was so peaceful, and we were able to fully enjoy the outdoors."
"Primitive tent camping is back in its own little part of the park near the lake (there are a few lakeside sites if you have a small kayak or raft to use while there) and while we liked the privacy the"
"Lake nearby with boat rentals and paved bike paths. Good family environment. Beware of sneaky raccoons. River access down path behind lot 129."
"Beautiful park has a lake with kayaking/canoe/rowboat/paddle boat rentals and a few pontoon boats for rent but is otherwise just for non-motorized boats. good fishing both from the rental rowboats and"
RangerThe spaces are gravel and level. The campground is mostly RV with a few private apartments/houseboat.
Quiet, most all of the waterfront sites were taken. We took a chance on last minute reservations and there were plenty of pull through spots. Easy to setup.
Checkin/out no problem. They have a code for gate entry.
Bathhouse bathrooms are date but clean. A bit on small side, not very comfortable.
There is not much common area for grass/waterside…kinda feel like your in someone’s spot/yard area.
There is a playground for young kids.
About 30 minutes from downtown Cincinnati…easy to get to a game.
GuideClean, professional campground. Sites loops are tight but people with big fifth wheels were able to manage just fine. The fish were biting the weekend I was there!
GuideTerrible management. Pics are outdated and most everything is run down. Only one pool open during short hours. No gas station, no slide, nasty lake water & nobody takes the trash/dumpsters out. Completely inundated with annual spots being reserved by weekend warriors meaning minimal availability for people who want to be here during the week. There are SEVERAL dozen spots available and we were told if the spot we got didn’t work we could pick something else. At 8pm during dinner we were disturbed by a park ranger and forced to move to a spot half the size with no hookups. She literally brought us to an overflow area that our rig doesn’t fit in. She made us pack up our entire camp site to move so someone else could have the spot, even though there were MULTIPLE spots available. Had to be extremely persistent to get a FHU spot only to see dozens continue to be available for the rest of our 2 week stay.
They also charge you $5 per package to pick up your own mail from the building and $10 for a key card to access the park. Management is certainly skimming off of customers here. Will travel further to another TT campground to avoid this place in the future.
ScoutWorst RV park I stayed at. By the way, it’s managed. People are living in sheds. When you there they don’t keep up on your lawn as cutting the grass and getting the weeds. Just not a place I will take my family again.
ScoutI stayed a short time at this RV park and very disappointed. Management didn’t know what they was doing. People are living in shed not very clean. Tried to find out who owned it before I sent this review in and cannot find anybody. To talk to Pictures look good but if you stay a while, you’ll see what I’m talking about. Not a good environment.
Scouteven though camp ground seems to have beach. Its beach area is just mud and murky water.
ScoutSite 22 was so sloped our red levelers barely made it work. Sore needed gravel, it was mostly sticky dirt that got tracked into our travel trailer immediately after sweeping. Lots of locals grouped together in the inner circle sites that were very loud, hooting and hollering until 1:30 in the morning. This campground needs work, which a few sites were recently concreted, but many haven’t seen gravel in years. The park and lodge are fantastic, with wonderful waterfalls and trails. Too bad the extra $9 fee on top of the campsite cost doesn’t seem to be going to the campground
ScoutIt was a lot of fun, cute cabin, friendly and super accommodating staff, clean shower houses. 10 out of 10
ScoutThis isn’t a campground…it’s a run-down trailer park. The only sites for mobile campers is up front and surrounded by ratty lots full of trailers with junk all around d them.
No attention to lawn detail…overgrown and needs to be trimmed.
But that’s not the worst…there were two pre-teen boys playing around the playground…and around our lot. Right after dark, a pre-teen boy came up to our camper, slammed our entry assist handle and locked it over…locking us in the camper. Fortunately, my wife was in the bath-house. It scared my young daughters. They later came again, knocking on the side of the camper and taunting us. There were no other kids around…I then saw them go into the manager’s house….
It was dirty, unsafe, and a pleasure to leave…just gross.
