      Lake Loramie State Park Campground

      This was our first time here. We only stayed one night as we were on our way to Indiana. We were on site 16 which was right next to the Parks building and one of the camp host and right across the street from a playground. It was a short walk to the shower house and the campground itself was very clean and well taken care of. At the back of our site it was like a big giant backyard and it led to the canal.

      Lebanon-Cincinnati NE KOA

      Friendly and quiet

      There are a lot of people here, but even during the day we hardly hear any loud noises coming from any of the other campers. Walking the property (as much as I can with my cane) everyone is so friendly. The grounds are kept very clean. The people from the office actually do garbage pick-up anytime during office hours! Just place your trash bag/ other items to be thrown away at the front of your site and they take it away. They even have recycling, but you have to take that up yourself. They won't just tell you where it is, they will show you. I haven't been to a KOA site in 15 years and the one I went to was not a great experience, but I highly recommend staying here if you're passing through Cincinnati.

      Rocky Fork State Park Campground

      Been coming here since I was a kid.

      Always great time here. The upper part has more wooden areas then the lower part. But those spot are close to the lake. They a great playground. They have a big camp store with a putt putt, big lake we’re boating, fishing and kayaking. Multiple shower houses very clean kept up. Nice campground to ride bikes around.

      Dayton KOA Holiday

      Not for class B vans

      Arrived after 7:00 p.m. to find an envelope with my campsite number of 78 and directions. The site was a tiny back in site that was so slanted downward that you had to go in head first to keep your head level with or above your feet. Of course, that puts the utilities on the wrong side of the van. There were other sites that were appropriate and were empty and after looking around I believe number 78 is the worst site in the whole facility.

    What to do

    Fishing access from cabins: Buck Creek State Park Campground provides cabins with proximity to both lake and stream fishing. "The campground is clean and overall a good value. It was a busy weekend but not as loud as I figured it would be. Yellow Springs is a great, funky town. Many great places to eat," notes Leon H.

    Paddle sports rental: Morgan's Canoe and Outdoor Adventure offers cabin stays right beside the Little Miami River with canoe and kayak rentals. "Morgan's is amazing! They have been around for a few generations and provide canoeing, rafting, and kayaking at different trip lengths for a great price," says Carolyn M.

    Trail access: Cabin accommodations at Cowan Lake State Park Campground connect to nature trails. "The trails here are easy and short. I loved the informational boxes and tags that they had on the trees or plants. This is helpful if you have little ones with you or if you are like me and just like to learn about the animals/plants on the trail," explains Kenpocentaur K.

    What campers like

    Private bathroom cabins: Lebanon-Cincinnati NE KOA offers deluxe cabins with indoor plumbing. "The adorable cabin fulfilled my tiny home dreams and camping craving! The cozy cabin had a queen bed, twin bunks and a sofa that made out to a full size sleeper. Kitchen included a fridge, sink and single cup coffee maker," reports Becky C.

    Secluded spots: Stonelick State Park Campground provides cabins with some privacy from other campsites. "Amazing views of the water and surrounding wooded areas. Good place to fish for bluegill and catfish. Awesome place to swim during daytime hours, just remember to us caution and don't go out of designated area," advises Lisa S.

    Screening from elements: Morgan's Canoe cabins offer protection while maintaining a rustic feel. "We enjoyed being able to be close to the river and then being inside with a floor/door which a tent wouldn't have given us that extra security. We had plenty of space for my friend, her two kids, and me," notes Kenpocentaur K.

    What you should know

    Cabin maintenance varies: Quality differs significantly between locations. According to Renée C. at Cowan Lake State Park, "The cabins are not in the best of shape. Finding mouse traps and some maintenance within the cabin that should have been done was concerning with a toddler."

    Reservation timelines: Most cabin sites require advance booking. "Must reserve online as they are still doing everything virtual," mentions Mike & Deb L. about camping accommodations in the region.

    Seasonal limitations: Thousand Trails Wilmington operates cabin rentals only during warmer months. "The pool is large and heated. The hot tub, however, has been under repair since we arrived. All in all, well worth it," reports Susan B.
