Scott R.ScoutOak Creek Campground
Yuck!
This isn’t a campground…it’s a run-down trailer park. The only sites for mobile campers is up front and surrounded by ratty lots full of trailers with junk all around d them.
No attention to lawn detail…overgrown and needs to be trimmed.
But that’s not the worst…there were two pre-teen boys playing around the playground…and around our lot. Right after dark, a pre-teen boy came up to our camper, slammed our entry assist handle and locked it over…locking us in the camper. Fortunately, my wife was in the bath-house. It scared my young daughters. They later came again, knocking on the side of the camper and taunting us. There were no other kids around…I then saw them go into the manager’s house….
It was dirty, unsafe, and a pleasure to leave…just gross.

TravelerAway at Green Hill
Henry’s Hollow
What a wonderful experience, Teri and Mike have a beautiful area tucked away in Northern KY. Plenty of space between campsites! We stayed at Henry's Holler. It's a 4x4 only site. There is a steep hill that you may need 4wd to get up. That being said there are a few more spots to reserve that this is not a requirement. It is so peaceful here. You would never know you were so close to busy areas. Rabbit hash is right down the road as well as Lawerenceburg Indiana. Just a short distance is also Big Bone Lick State Park. If you just want to get away this is the spot for you. The log cabin on site is so cool. Plenty of walking can be done as you meander along some easy trails.
The "outhouse" on site is cute. It is the only bathroom on property. Well stocked and not your typical "outhouse". '. It's adorable. You will have to see it to appreciate it. This is a great alternative to camping at a campground. Note: there is no electric or water. Also pack out what you pack in. You will be greeted with a "welcome" kit that includes a citronella candle, some paper and fire starting accessories. Firewood is available for purchase by the barn. I will definitely be back! Teri communicates very well to make sure all is going well. Don't be afraid to explore this great slice of heaven.

Great campground!
We stopped here when passing through Ohio. Was a pleasant surprise how nice this park is!
Camp office was small but had a small selection of things for sale.
The campground is very nice, clean bathrooms, and showers.
There is a disc golf course lots of mountain bike trails and hiking trails! As well as some other great amenities.
Would recommend.

LegendWright-Patterson FamCamp
The right place for a stop on a road trip
If you are retired or active duty military, you have access to recreation sites maintained adjacent to many bases. Wright-Patterson has a recreational family-friendly “Fam Camp” campground located by a small lake in the woods on the south side if the base. Families or adults can enjoy staying at the campground for a few days of camping, fishing, paddling and as a base for exploring in and around Dayton. There are many sites with hookups for RV’s, an area for RVs that dont need hookups, basic tent sites, and also a number of camper cabins by the lake. It is also a convenient stopover for folks on roadtrips and seems to be popular with retirees traveling with RV’s. We stopped for one night while on a road trip ourselves, and stayed in one of the tent sites which was very pleasant. This stay was in May, but we stayed here one time in October as well. There is a full bath house with showers snd bathrooms, a rec center with rental equipment for getting out on the lake, and a clubhouse. There is a field with bleachers for ball games, and a nice fenced in dog park.
