James, Lauren and their crew were the best! Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The camping is just so relaxing, right on the river, open space, beautiful land! We can't wait to visit again.
Great place to stay an very welcoming staff here. Very clean an well maintained. Nice Place to kayak , rent or bring your own. Plenty of spots to fish.
I love this place for many reasons. The proximity to the river and kayaking is a big priority for me. They have kayaks for rent at the campground or you can bring your own. They shuttle you up to the dam and it takes a couple of hours to get back down to their campground. Justin pulls your kayaks out and takes them up the hill for you, which is great for this old woman. The grandkids love to play in the river, which is about 1 to 2 feet deep at this location. Great for wading and catching minnows, crawdads, and such. And yes we turn them loose. Their bath/shower house is really clean and with heat/air. They provide fire rings, tables, and wood. There is water and electric at each site. The hosts are definitely the greatest.
This campground is also close to Cave Run Lake for boating and fishing.
If you are looking for a quiet place to get away this is it! We called at the last minute and they were able to get us a spot with no problem. Justin our camp host stopped by that evening dropped us off a fire ring and firewood. (Also has picnic tables if you want one)this is included in the price of the campsite. The Bath houses are extremely clean and the camp ground is meticulous, with level spots. There is access to the river for those who wish to kayak. Beautiful place! We will be back!!
We pulled in late, around 7:30pm and had been in contact with Justin prior to arrival. He was waiting for us with a colleague and escorted us to our site. They provided us with firewood and a fire ring and made sure we were comfortable. We were camped right on the river with nobody around us. Just one other family camping with an RV far from us. Bathrooms were super clean and showers were great. We really enjoyed our stay and here. Thanks Justin!
When you arrive the host (Justin), brings you wood and a picnic table. Helps if you need anything. The campground is always extremely clean as are the bathrooms. Water and electric on site with a wide spot. We were able to put up a 20 x 10 canopy outside of our camper canopy with plenty of extra room. Lots of space for the kids to run. We went kayaking (they have a kayaking service on site) and played in the river. Far enough away from the road that we didn’t hear any noise, just the river running. Campfire every night. Frog hunting (catch and release).
It was a great trip. Definitely be going back.
This place is new and under great ownership. Justin took the evening call, guided us in then got us quickly settled and told us “ the just right “ amount of info on the campsite and area. The tent sites are very cool. They have a large flat grassy area with lots of sites right beside the river. The RV sites are new, drive through and flat , with electric , and water. There something cool to be facing the cornfield and being in unique open space. Our dog loved it !
Highly Recommend!!
We just spent a relaxing long weekend at this campground. Sites are level with electric and water at each one. They provided a fire ring and a picnic table for us. The bathrooms are kept very clean and offers quality toilet paper and paper towels. My grandkids loved playing in the river catching crawdads and tadpoles. Perfect for wading. We brought our kayaks and were shuttled up river by the staff. The staff are the friendliest and helpful people that you could ever meet. The hammock area set up by the river makes me want to go back and stay. I love this place and will definitely go back.
The campground is brand new and it has new bath/shower houses. It has 10 RV sites and riverside tent sites. The sites are level and pull through with 50 amp service. There is city water available and a dump station. Very clean place and the staff are great to work with. They have kayaking at the campground or shuttle service if you bring your own kayak. The ride from the dam down to the campground is beautiful and serene. It is great for beginning kayakers. The tent sites along the river are so peaceful with the river running below you. There is a lot to do in the area with Cave Run Lake for water adventures and Lockegee Rock and the Sheltowee Trail for hiking. The Licking River has several fish species from the fun to catch bluegill to the Muskellunge. This is a must see place that I will definitely return to.
