      Lebanon-Cincinnati NE KOA

      Fantastic Place

      This KOA sets the bar for the Ohio locations we have visited. The bathrooms are amazing and private. The tent site we had was huge and there were actually trees for our suspended tent and hammocks. The dog park wasn’t huge, but larger than most. The campground was completely full but still quiet and peaceful. The staff are amazing.

      Cowan Lake State Park Campground

      Large Campground

      Autumn is the best time to camp in Ohio. Lots of small bathrooms. Lake access. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was due to the fact there was no quick reentry. Had to wait for rvs in front of me to register.

      Oak Creek Campground

      Easy place to stop

      Nice campground with several pull through sites for big rigs. Pool and new dog park with a very nice play area for the kids. We prefer site 18 which offers nice privacy and os next to a stream.

      East Fork State Park Campground

      Overall great state park

      Generous sized campsites, a lot of them are wooded which we prefer, with around 400 sites there are plenty to choose from! Bathroom/shower facilities are updated and usually well maintained. There is a large public beach but it's on the other side of the park so you have to drive all the way around to get to it, no short cuts. They have a camp ground beach but it's been closed the last 2 years. Lots of hiking trails, bridal trails and a bike path. Wish list for this park: Boat rental, dog park, dog beach/water access. Overall a beautiful park.

      Ohio River Campground and Marina — Shawnee State Park

      Very Peaceful, Very Clean

      We stayed in Site 09. The sites are spacious with level, asphalted pads. Each site has a fire pit and picnic table.

      Toward the front of the campground is a great splash pad, playground, and dog park, which includes an agility course. These are located away from the RV's; therefore, the campground was very quiet and peaceful.

      Nearby was a marina, fishing access, and an archery range. The surrounding hills are pretty.

      The bath house was clean. A laundry room was available.

      The only drawback was the lack of shade. Because this place is relatively new, in time--as the planted seedlings grow--this problem will lessen.

      The Landing at Bear Creek RV Park

      Work in Progress

      This is newly opened and a lot of work still needs to be done. Currently there is no dog park, hiking trails or bathhouses like it states. Many of the spots aren’t even finished yet.

      When looking at the camp map don’t plan on having access to the creek or river. Your lucky if you can even view it.

      The ground is all sand. So while if it rains you won’t get muddy, but the sand is a pain and gets everywhere.

      The Landing at Bear Creek RV Park

      Family Atmosphere

      This is the best campground we have stayed at. We have been here all summer and we’ve had no complaints. The owners are great people who are always here working and interacting with the campers. Splash pad, pavilion, playground, Gaga pit, and dog park are a few of the great amenities. Each lot has a fire pit and the lots are large. They do activities for the kids every weekend and also have bands! It’s a fun place.

      Lebanon-Cincinnati NE KOA

      Family kamp

      All in all I think this is an amazing campground for a KOA. It has a jump pad for the kids very small dog park. The sites are very close together but we are here during the week so that’s not an issue. We have cable which is also nice. They have gaga ball a basketball court a laundry area. The roads are gravel and I do have a swimming pool in the summer. The store is great and has pretty much everything that you could need


    Guide to Georgetown

    East Fork State Park and surrounding campgrounds offer year-round outdoor recreation near Georgetown, Ohio. The region features rolling hills with elevations between 800-900 feet and experiences four distinct seasons. Most campgrounds in the area sit near lakes or creeks, with many providing paved sites that drain well during spring rainfall.

    What to do

    Hiking near water bodies: At Rocky Fork State Park Campground, visitors can enjoy the lake scenery, though trails are limited. "There were only 2 short hiking trails and they were both overgrown with no real views or destinations," notes Andrea F. in her review.

    Boating and fishing: White Oak Creek Marina & Campground provides direct access to the Ohio River for water activities. "This is a great place! They have live bands on the weekends and cookouts. If you like the water, this is a great place! We take our boat out on the river and fish," shares Amanda C.

    Activities beyond nature: A.J. Jolly Park & Campground offers diverse recreation options. "The park has a golf course. The other side of the camp ground had 4 or so yurts for rental," writes jeffrey D. Visitors can enjoy "tennis, volleyball, a swimming pool, and even an area to rent paddle boats."

    What campers like

    Spacious campsites: East Fork State Park Campground earns praise for its well-maintained sites. "Camp sites are all blacktop, level, and clean. Nice bath houses, and playgrounds," reports Jarrod M.

    River views: Many campers appreciate watching river traffic from their sites at Sandy Springs Campground. "It is so peaceful to watch the river and see the occasional boat or barge go by," shares John M. Another camper notes, "We stayed in site 10 right on the river and the views were great."

    Clean facilities: Stonelick State Park Campground maintains quality bathrooms. "The restrooms are a quick walk and very clean. The showers and park are a small walk but also super nice," according to Jess H., who also appreciated the "small Pollinator trail that led to the water."

    What you should know

    Site limitations: At Kincaid Lake State Park Campground, campers should prepare for terrain challenges. "Most sites are pretty un-level. Another downfall is nothing is within a true walking distance, the pool, mini golf, boat docks, fishing spots," warns Brittany G.

    Rule enforcement: Some campgrounds strictly enforce regulations. One Kincaid Lake visitor noted, "The campground is very strict about the rules - you are NOT allowed to gather firewood (of any size) but then they are also very strict about what firewood you can bring in."

    Cell service variability: Large parks like East Fork may have inconsistent coverage. One camper reported, "For a park so close to a large city (Cincinnati), I was surprised the cell service was so lacking (on Verizon). We eked out one and occasionally two bars of 4G."

    Tips for camping with families

    Look for playgrounds: Stonelick State Park Campground offers family-friendly features. "My little ones had a blast riding their scooters around the round about," shares Jess H. who also mentioned the "small Pollinator trail that led to the water."

    Consider open play spaces: Sandy Springs provides room for children to run. "Lots of green area to play. Huge open field as well by playground," notes one camper, adding "We had a great hike at a trailhead directly across the street from the campground."

    Check activity schedules: Some campgrounds offer planned events for children. A camper at Sandy Springs mentioned, "My kids were busy nonstop with planned fun activities! And they had things for the adults as well and a lot of things for everyone to do together!"

    Tips from RVers

    Verify site dimensions: Rocky Fork State Park Campground offers "Over 40 full hook up sites!" according to Sandy O., who was "impressed with the campground amenities and spacious camp sites."

    Plan for site conditions: A.J. Jolly Park requires preparation. "None are level looking so you will need to know what you're doing. I'm o level your rig," shares Bobby C., who also noted "The sites I'm at are on a hillside so think theatrical style site."

    Be aware of peak seasons: East Fork State Park experiences special events that impact camping. One camper noted a "HUGE Halloween celebration complete with 30-40 decorated golf carts parading through the campground. The road was closed until 6:45 pm and cars lined both sides of the approximately two-mile road!"

    Most dog-friendly campgrounds near Georgetown require pets to be leashed at all times. When looking for pet-friendly camping around Georgetown, Ohio, check if the campground provides designated pet exercise areas or nearby trails suitable for walking dogs.
