      Dayton Metro Parks (Five Rivers Metroparks)

      Twin Creek Metro Parks (Geronimo camp site)

      This is part of the Dayton Metro Parks (Five Rivers Metro Parks) and it is at the Twin Creek metro park.  This is an old boy scout camp (Camp Hook) back in the day. 

      During these COVID-19 times we wanted a place to park that wasn't the traditional Ohio State Parks camp site. We didn't want to share a common bathroom/bath house or playground area.  We picked this as the Twin Creek camp site only has 3 camp sites within the park.  Even then they are out of side from each other. You can somewhat hear the other two camp sites (rarely).  This meant with two little ones we wouldn't have to constantly remind them to socially distance or put on masks.  We were alone but had plenty of park supports. We had two great park volunteers/security stop by to make sure we had everything we need. 

      The nice thing about the Dayton metro parks is that each night in the front county camp sites they include a bundle of fire wood. This is not the small sad bundle that you often buy at gas stations or other markets.  This is a huge bundle. It is dry and cut in an easy to use manner. It is also kept in a little box so it is dry even if you do have weather while camping. If you wish to add an additional bundle of firewood the price is very reasonable at $10.00. I do this every time I camp there to support their campsites/metro parks. I have yet to use up their firewood in the box when I camp for a whole weekend. It is also nice that we don't have to put it in our cars so less clean up after camping. It also helps with the whole burn local fire wood so you are not transporting bugs. Or you don't have to cross your fingers and hope someone close by sells firewood. 

      The nice thing about their site is the additional tables made it easy for us to socially distance.  When I camp at local state parks and we only have one table it can be tricky to keep coolers, food, and people separated. We also were able to have kids do craft at one of the tables while we were preparing meals. This camp site is listed as a 10 person camp site. There is no water on site so make sure you bring all the water that you will need. 

      We also were able to hike the easy trails around the camp site. No need to put the kids in the car unless we wanted to.  Which we still did:) 

      We drove into town and discovered a covered bridge that I had missed on an earlier camping trip. (Germantown).  This town also has the Florentine which is one of the oldest inns in Ohio. It was closed while we were in town but it is well worth a stop. The town also has a community pool as well that you can buy a day pool pass. 

      The campsite does have two spots that would be neat for a wedding. You can reserve an amphitheater. 

      The campsites during peak season are $20 during week days and $28 for weekends. I still find this to be one of the best values for camping in Ohio. Especially, when you consider the level of privacy that you have on these sites.  The vault toilets are one of the best as they are always clean. We have hand sanitizer and toilet paper. We didn't have to share our vault toilet with any other family units. 

      All of these small touches really made COVID-19 camping with kids much easier. We look forward to being back at this camp site in the fall. 

      Here is the website to make a reservation https://www.metroparks.org/rentals-permits/reserve-a-campsite/?id=786190&api=facilities&type=camp

      Hueston Woods State Park Campground

      Great place to stay, just watch your reservation

      Hueston Wood, a real gem. The park is about 3000 acres with a beautiful sailing / fishing lake. There is a beautiful lodge and golf course, archery range, and plenty of hiking paths and equestrian paths.

      The biggest issue for us was the description of the site at C36 was nothing like the description. We approached the staff in the office and they expressed no concern in helping us. One camping family left due to the office staff's attitude.

      Ok, now for the positive! We met one of the volunteers, Gary, who was able to find us a site to hold our 34 foot motorhome. He made our July 4th weekend, couldn't have been more accomodating. 

      Sites have 30A electric and there is plenty of potable water available around the campground, just not at the site. Each site has a fire ring and a picnic table. At the A and B loop there was plenty of space around the site to spread out. 

      The dump station is fairly new and can accommodate 2 RV's. Though most site are grass, some have gravel, but the A loop sites are full hookup and concrete or paved (but not all flat). When setting reservation and with an RV over 20ft, shoot for A or B loop.

      The grounds are just beautiful, hiking trails great but not all marked well. A place we will return.

      Whitewater Memorial State Park Campground

      Horse Campground - Great

      I came here and stayed in my tent (family had their horse trailer with camper) for a night during the chilly nights of October. I wish all campsites were like these - very, very spread out! 

      Totally makes sense given that you have large horse trailers/campers and also horses at each site, but even then, they were very spread out and had lots of great space to actually enjoy nature. 

      In terms of trails, there was a starting access point at the horse campground for horseback riding trails that also led to the horse barn, but if you are wanting to hike, you have to drive, unfortunately. Another flaw is that the bathrooms in the horse campground aren't modern and they're pit toilets. Even with the cooler weather, they still wreaked and were not pleasant to use.

      Hueston Woods State Park Campground

      Fun campground for pop-up campers

      My wife and I had a great time visiting Hueston Woods and visiting the Raptor Center. Located north of Cincinnati along Ohio’s border with Indiana.

      We stayed here with our pop up camper and felt right at home. The bathrooms and shower houses could use some updates and there were no full hook up sites when we went but our site was nice and quiet.

      Our dog, loved the miniature golf and visiting Acton Lake.

      Westwood Park

      Beautiful park

      Westwood is a beautiful well manicured park. The restrooms are very clean. The campsites are, I would say, normal size maybe a little cramped. Enough to park two cars in each site. It’s a small campground with around 33-38 camp sites and it’s first come first serve. No reservations. The lake is nice. Lots of small bass. If you have a boat, trolling motors only. Bank fishing is limited from what I walked but plenty of places you can fish. There is a 10 mile hiking / biking trail all the way around the lake. There are horse riding trails too. I will visit again.

      Versailles State Park Campground

      Large campsites, pool ,lake activities, others

      Versailles State Park is the second largest state park in Indiana. Within the last year with the coordination of the Indiana Trail Riders Association, DNR and volunteers, primitive, overnight, horse camping was added to the park. Several more miles of horse trails were opened and a mountain bike trail section was also added to the park. Plans are in place for more mountain biking trails and a fourty-five site electric and water Horsemans camp, to be completed in phases. This is a very clean park, large pool, hiking and lake activities available. Bald eagles have been spotted in the park along with local wildlife. The local restaurants are family owned and offer large portions if casual dinning is in store, with homemade desserts.

    Guide to College Corner

    Equestrian camping near College Corner, Ohio connects riders with multiple state parks offering designated horse facilities across both Ohio and Indiana. The region sits at the confluence of the Whitewater and Miami rivers, creating varied terrain for trail riding with elevations ranging from 800-1100 feet. Summer temperatures typically reach the mid-80s while spring and fall provide cooler riding conditions with occasional precipitation.

    What to do

    Trail riding access points: At Whitewater Memorial State Park Campground, riders can explore multiple trail systems without trailering their horses. "Whitewater Memorial State Park is located close to Liberty Indiana and is our favorite between the two major parks on Brookville Lake. It has water access to both Brookville and Whitewater lakes," notes Brandie B.

    Lake recreation options: The region's multiple lakes offer water-based activities when not in the saddle. "This is a great place to swim, very quiet. There are plenty of places for picnics and a nice campground," writes Aimee M. about Whitewater Memorial State Park.

    Mountain biking trails: For non-equestrian days, the area provides cycling opportunities on dedicated paths. At Versailles State Park Campground, "there are great bike trails & walking trails," according to Shannon C., making it a versatile destination for active campers.

    What campers like

    Space between sites: Unlike the tighter layouts at some parks, Horsemen's Camp — Whitewater Memorial State Park provides ample room. "I wish all campsites were like these - very, very spread out! Totally makes sense given that you have large horse trailers/campers and also horses at each site," reports Brady R.

    Clean facilities: Campers consistently mention the well-maintained bathhouses. "New pit toilets were very clean and potable water station are located throughout campgrounds," writes John F. who stayed at Whitewater Memorial State Park.

    Diverse terrain: The mix of wooded areas and open fields creates varied riding conditions. "With the vast old growth forests, dried/dead branches for firewood was plentiful for a chilly night(38) fire," notes Dave V. about Hueston Woods State Park Campground, highlighting the mature forest environment.

    What you should know

    Wildlife management: Beyond the equine considerations, local wildlife requires attention. "Watch out for the 🦝 raccoons they are pretty aggressive and were all over our campsite. Clearly they are used to getting handouts, so keep your foodstuffs in you vehicle or well secured," advises John F. about Whitewater Memorial.

    Bathroom facilities vary: Horse camps often have more rustic facilities than main campgrounds. "Another flaw is that the bathrooms in the horse campground aren't modern and they're pit toilets. Even with the cooler weather, they still wreaked and were not pleasant to use," Brady R. mentions about Whitewater's horse camp.

    Site selection matters: At Versailles State Park Campground, "A loop is pretty open without a lot of shade. B & C have lots of shade but the sites are either not very level or not very big," explains Kristene B., emphasizing the importance of researching specific site features.

    Tips for camping with families

    Beach access for kids: Children can enjoy swimming areas between trail rides. "The beach is a short distance away and love that they also include a dog swimming area," shares Maddy B. about Hueston Woods State Park.

    Multiple recreation options: Summit Lake State Park Campground provides varied activities beyond horseback riding. "Trails around the lake were nice with many opportunities for scenic photographs, etc.," notes Marshall P., highlighting the photography opportunities for family members.

    Kid-friendly amenities: Many parks offer recreational facilities designed specifically for younger visitors. "We love Hueston Woods! We have been there twice now and tent camp. A lot of the sites are large and have enough space for everything you need!" explains Maddy B.

    Tips from RVers

    Leveling challenges: Many horse campgrounds have variable terrain that requires preparation. At Summit Lake State Park, "Our site was a pull through and, while level left to right, required a good bit of leveling front to back," reports Marshall P.

    Hookup availability: Utility connections vary between equestrian camping areas. For those needing full service, "We just purchased an RV and was so excited to take a trip with it!! Being a first time RV owner we didn't want to travel too far from home just in case something would go wrong. I got spoiled by going to Hueston Woods for our first outing! VERY clean, there was a playground for the kids, bathroom and shower facilities were available, and lets not forget the easy access to fresh water and dumping stations!" shares Charles K.

    Parking dimensions: Large rigs with horse trailers need specific site information. "I would think a rig more than 31 or 32 feet long would have difficulty maneuvering around the curve at the end of the second loop. We are a 30ft. Fifth wheel and it was pretty tight for us," advises Lisa M. about Summit Lake State Park.
