Cedarville camping options extend beyond traditional campgrounds into a network of Ohio recreational areas spanning Greene, Clark, and Clinton counties. Located in a region with rolling farmland at approximately 1,050 feet elevation, the area experiences typical Midwest seasonality with warm, humid summers and cold winters. Fall camping is particularly popular due to colorful foliage, while spring brings frequent rainfall that can create muddy conditions at unimproved sites.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: Sky Lake Resort offers multiple lakes specifically designed for anglers. "We loved our time at Sky Lake! It's a beautiful property, well maintained, and easy to make a reservation," notes Brittany S., who appreciated the dedicated fishing areas.
Water recreation: Constitution County Park provides direct access to the Little Miami River. Daniel G. explains, "It's literally right beside the river and it has a small ramp into the river. It's the perfect launching point for anyone wanting to take a kayaking trip down the river."
