    Hueston Woods State Park Campground allows pets throughout its extensive camping areas with electric hookups, tent sites, and RV spaces. Campers with dogs report that loops A and B are most suitable for pets, offering concrete pads and more level terrain for comfortable camping. The campsites have fire rings and picnic tables, with plenty of space to set up pet enclosures. Hannon's Camp America near College Corner also permits pets, though the facilities receive mixed reviews from pet owners. The park rangers enforce quiet hours at 10 PM to minimize barking and disruptions for all campers. Natural Springs Resort and Mounds State Recreation Area both offer additional pet-friendly camping options with full hookups for those traveling with animals.

    Dog owners appreciate the extensive trail system connecting to the campgrounds for walking pets. The hiking paths at Hueston Woods provide excellent exercise opportunities with varying difficulty levels, including some trails suitable for mobility-challenged visitors walking dogs. The park features a dedicated dog swimming area at the lake, allowing pets to cool off during summer camping trips. Raccoons are active in the early evening hours around campsites, so securing pet food is essential to avoid wildlife encounters. The campground's large, open spaces between many sites in the A and B loops provide ample room for dogs to remain leashed while still enjoying freedom to move around camp. Weather can change quickly in the region, so bringing appropriate shelter for pets is recommended year-round, even during summer camping seasons.

      Mounds State Recreation Area Campground — Brookville Lake

      This is a nice little campground. There is a lot of space between campers, and the spots are asphalt and somewhat level. It didn’t feel crowded at all. There are plenty of good hiking trails around and it’s fun to go look at the dam. Highly recommend going to the overlook at sunset!

      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.

      Loop C, Versailles State Park

      Large But Relatively Private

      Description of this site is that it's moderate sloping (from front down to back. Definitely true. Pretty muddy site, due to large amounts of rain, but most sites are level and less shaded.

      Nice campground - but busy

      Now called Unhitched RV Park. I’m quite liberal with my rating so 4 star may be generous. There are quite a few weekender / extended stay sites but they all look clean without too many extensive built-ins. People were all very friendly, desk attendant was excellent with great information and very accommodating. Site workers are busy keeping the place tidy and are nice people. We stayed at the upper sites with plenty of of mature trees for shade. Near the river is very wide open. Had a pull through site with plenty of room for everything. Hook ups are all properly located for standard equipment. Some sites need leveling but ours only used one block under left side. Pool is very nice and we waited for a quiet time to go. New management has taken over recently, so name is now Unhitched RV Park. Showers, laundry, small camp store. Couldn’t get Wi-Fi to work day 1. It can get very busy with golf carts and 4 wheelers. Generally we had a nice site with reasonable privacy. Also the area has a lot to offer with the local small towns.
