The Camp Dennison area offers RV camping options within a region characterized by rolling hills and the Little Miami River valley. Elevations generally range from 500-800 feet above sea level in this part of southwestern Ohio. The area experiences distinct seasonal changes with humid summers reaching the upper 80s and winter temperatures that can drop below freezing, making campground availability seasonal at several locations.
What to do
Fishing access: Tucker's Landing provides river fishing opportunities along the Ohio River. "We visited for a weekend in April. Site 22 had a beautiful view of the ohio river. The kids enjoyed seeing the barges going up and down the river," notes Lindsey S. about Tucker's Landing.
Water recreation: Stonelick State Park features a lake for boating and swimming during designated hours. "There's a ramp there for paddle boards and kayaking but its very muddy we didnt end up using it," mentions Marie B. about Tucker's Landing, while a Stonelick visitor commented, "Amazing views of the water and surrounding wooded areas. Good place to fish for bluegill and catfish."
Trail exploration: Stonelick State Park Campground offers hiking and biking trails. "Despite the rain and the wind we had a great time! Our spot was right next to a small Pollinator trail that lead to the water," writes Jess H. Another camper notes, "Nice trails for hiking or taking a cruise on your bike."
What campers like
Waterfront views: Many RV campgrounds near Camp Dennison feature waterfront sites. At A.J. Jolly Park & Campground, "The sites I'm at are on a hillside so think theatrical style site. None are level looking so you will need to know what your doing. I'm o level your rig. The lake is in view to each site," according to Bobby C.
Pool amenities: Follow The River RV Resort offers a heated pool. "The campground is easy to access and super well taken care of! I am honestly very impressed with this park! There is pool access, a tree for shade at every lot, a picnic table at every lot and water access as well," reports Abigaile J.
Year-round camping options: Winton Woods Campground remains open all seasons. "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," writes Tamar. Another camper mentions, "Winton Woods Campground was a clean and quiet campground that we were pleasantly surprised to find."
What you should know
Site leveling challenges: Many campgrounds in the area have uneven terrain. At Follow The River RV Resort, most sites are "level concrete pads," but A.J. Jolly Park requires preparation: "None are level looking so you will need to know what your doing to level your rig."
Noise considerations: Some RV parks experience noise from nearby transportation. At Northern Kentucky RV Park, "There's a bit of noise from highway and passing trains, but they weren't a big deal to us," reports Jenny C., while another camper was more affected: "The freeway traffic is very loud 24 hours and the train comes at least 2 times per night blowing its horn."
Seasonal facilities: Many campgrounds close during winter months. "This is a great park in southern Ohio, easy to reach, 20 minutes off the interstate 275. There are a number of good sites, but some with a significant slope that leveling would be an issue," notes Craig C. about Stonelick State Park.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Several campgrounds feature play areas for children. At Northern Kentucky RV Park, "The grounds are neat and taken care of and have plenty of shade. There's a nice playground," according to Jenny C.
Swimming options: Family-friendly water activities vary by location. At Stonelick State Park, one visitor mentioned it's an "Awesome place to swim during daytime hours, just remember to us caution and don't go out of designated area."
Biking-friendly areas: Some parks offer safe spaces for kids to ride. "It is small enough to let my kids roam a bit on thier bikes and feel comfortable not having eyes on them 24/7. Quiet and Clean," writes Jason L. about Stonelick State Park Campground.
Tips from RVers
Hookup configurations: RV sites at Camp Dennison area campgrounds offer various configurations. "Overall this RV park is one of the nicest I've been to. Sewage, water, and electrical were all surprisingly well maintained and clearly visible. Each spot had plenty of space for activities," reports Daniel G. about Tucker's Landing.
Pad types: Concrete pads are available at some parks but sizes vary. "Each plot also has it's own concrete slab for your RV, so you don't have to worry about parking in the mud," notes Daniel G. about Tucker's Landing, while at Camp Cedar, a reviewer described it as a "Concrete Jungle" with "no big trees and lots are on top of one another."
Extended stay considerations: Some parks accommodate longer stays. At Thousand Trails Wilmington, "This was the first stay of my full time RV life. I'm glad I started here. It's nice and quiet. People seem to be very friendly. I use Starlink and T-mobile 5G. The T-Mobile seems to be working best here," mentions Emerson F.
