Yellow Springs is a popular destination in Ohio.  Make sure you do your homework when coming to the area as they have a lot happening in a small area.  You will notice the two restaurants mentioned down below in the photos.  One of them is an old mill that you can walk around at certain times of the year.  

This site was so low key and didn't have a lot of people.  We saw a few cars and trucks during our weekend as it is a canoe launch.  Locals also will stop here to hike and avoid the crowds in town.  It isn't far from the bike trail so those who are more adventurous might look into how to connect the route for those that don't mind biking some on the road. 

The porta john was clean and we did see a park ranger a few times during our visit.  The sheriff also drove through at one time.  Their presence was visible and a short friendly wave to us.  You need to keep your permit handy in case they do ask to see it. I kept mine in the windshield.  When you make your reservation online you will need to know the car make/model, year, and license plate number.  This is done for safety reasons and to ensure cars are parked in the appropriate locations for the appropriate time/reasons. 

Set up is 3:00 PM and Departure is at 12:00 PM. The reservation service fee was very reasonable and is less than what ODNR charges for their online reservations.  The service fee was $1.33 and you cannot have more than 10 folks at a campsite. It is also important to know that the site does not have electricity or clean drinking water.  You will need to bring in the water that you will need for cooking and cleaning during your stay.

Went with a buddy for a one night stay. Beautiful spot for tent camping right next to the Little Miami River. Picnic tables and fire pit are also nice amenities. I just wish there were a trash can. Still had a great time, though.
