    Hueston Woods State Park Campground

    A Relaxing Shoulder Season, Weekday stay

    Hueston Woods State Park, Oh.

    http://parks.ohiodnr.gov/huestonwoods 

    Campground Overview: Hueston Woods State Park is very close to Miami University...in the Southwest area of Ohio. The direction we traveled from the south took us on numerous winding country lanes through farm country that actually meandered in and out of Indiana and Ohio.

    (Disclaimer: I am a tent camper, preferring backcountry sites of solitude and privacy...so take my reviews of campgrounds with a grain of salt). 

    The campground area is separated not only by roadway, but a short walk, ride or drive from the reservoir, docks, boat rental beach area and tiny nature center. 

    The Campground Office sits at the campground entrance and does offer quite a bit of camping items for its tiny size should you have forgotten anything. The cabins and lodge are on the opposite bank of the reservoir. The tent site area was sparsely occupied and the particular area was empty that I chose. 

    All campground sites are line of sight, no barriers or buffer between neighbors(something I do not enjoy)...the trees are mature and tall so offer no privacy. Noise/sound travels so when full, you’ll likely hear your neighbors conversations. 

    Unknowingly, it appeared every weekend in October has a big Halloween emphasis, so the upper campground was sold out. I was advised the lower non electric loop would also be sold out...which reinforced my gratefulness for midweek camping. 

    With the vast old growth forests, dried/dead branches for firewood was plentiful for a chilly night(38) fire. We evaded the impending rain for once and pressed on. Weekend campers experienced heavy storms as we left. 

    There are several hiking trails and biking trails. Streams were dried up at our visit. A cool restoration covered bridge was a short hop from the campground. The lodge has a restaurant, a gift shop, an outside pool and a nicely equipped activity room for older kids complete with numerous arcade games, pool table, and ping-pong table. There is also a token tiny exercise center-Key card entrance for lodge stayers. The A-frame lodge, though nostalgic, needs some TLC and updating(especially the exterior). 

    Traffic noise is noticeable, especially during quiet hours. While not excessive, it’s disruptive. 

    Deer sighting were plentiful as were chattering tree rats...ahem, squirrels, sorry. Woodpeckers stayed busy overhead. At dusk an overly friendly“masked trash panda” encroached seeking to share my delectable and perfectly toasted s’more...having to be chased off(unfortunately, it appeared he has been fed by campers to be that bold). Other small birds were plentiful as were migrating Canadian honkers. 

    Housekeeping notes: In the larger non-electric loop newer restrooms existed...modern bathrooms and showers were clean and stocked with TP. No paper towels offered, only electric hand dryers. Bathroom stalls, like the showers, utilized shower curtains rather than lockable doors. In my tent area...antiquated wood shed pit latrines...that truly needed razed. 

    I did not have time to walk any trails, but talked with mountain bikers that spoke favorably. There were several marked trails near the reservoir area. 

    Final Thoughts: It was a nice choice for a stop-over as I drifted north. However, I would not want to stay when it’s busy or on the weekends. The reservoir beach and watercraft fishing appears a big draw...and I wish I had brought both my bicycle and canoe.

    Accommodating and Fun!

    This campground is well attended as most lots are filled each time I visit. The bathrooms are clean. The sites have LOTS of extra space in between for hammocks, kids running, and privacy. There are lots with trees and lots without. There is a commissary that includes everything you could possibly need as well as a hot grill. There is a beach for swimming, trails for hiking (not long distances), a basketball court and multiple playgrounds. When we were there, they had an outdoor movie theater for the kids and served complimentary popcorn. It was nice and hassle free.

    Lebanon-Cincinnati NE KOA

    Cozy cabin cured my camping craving!

    The adorable cabin fulfilled my tiny home dreams and camping craving! The cozy cabin had a queen bed, twin bunks and a sofa that made out to a full size sleeper. Kitchen included a fridge, sink and single cup coffee maker. Coffee k cups were provided in a few different varieties as well as sugar and creamer packs. Bathroom had tub/shower, clothesline to dry swim suits or hand-washed clothes, toilet, sand sink vanity. Bedding and towels were provided and were crisp, clean white. WiFi was a bonus and although it wasn’t the fastest it was very useful when looking up nearby activities. Our cabin had a grill, an outdoor table with four chairs, a swing and a fire pit which we enjoyed our last night there. Staff was friendly and helpful. There were laundry facilities within the park and lots of activities but we didn’t take advantage of any of that during our brief stay. Overall, we were very pleased and would gladly stay again!

    Hueston Woods State Park Campground

    Yurt life

    This camp ground is pretty standard for Ohio State Parks. It does have a cool new sleeping option. Yurts! We enjoyed our time in the yurt.  They also have trails that are easy to tackle and well marked at this park. 

    We were able to easily have the kids in one bed and we were in another bed.  The small fridge and microwave made it easy to pull a meal together. The fan kept us cool. 

    Water is a short walk away and so are restrooms. You have to bring in local fire wood for your camp fires.

    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.

    Morgan's Riverside Campground & Cabins

    Nice, lively

    This campground has nice facilities- a nice hot shower (four stalls only for the entire campground) a total of 6 flush toilets, a snack bar and a picnic pavilion with electrical outlets if you need to charge your phone. We were on a riverside campsite but unfortunately none of the brush had been cleared so we could not see the river. Imagine how much more fun it would be to actually be able to see the river and watch all the people floating by! It wouldn't be that hard to cut down some brush to create a view. 

    The noise was not the greatest. They assured us that there was a night person who monitored noise and partying, and there were signs everywhere saying that quiet hours started at 10, but a group of loud, drunk men right on the river were allowed to yell and make a ruckus until at least 2am, probably later, because I stopped looking at my clock after that. This was really irritating that they would be allowed to party so late and make so much noise that you could hear them all through the property. There were also kids in the water right in front of our site from sunup until way past dusk, screaming their heads off constantly, so if you are camping for peace and quiet, this is not the place for you. It was barely the place for me, but I wanted to be on the river for a weekend so I just tried to ignore all the noise. 

    Our site was quite muddy but I guess that's to be expected when you are next to the river. 

    I'd called a few times to make sure they would transport our kayaks and they said "yes, sure" as if that was no big deal, so I was a bit shocked to discover upon arrival that the cost of transporting a personal kayak was the exact same cost as renting one of theirs. This is pretty expensive, and why would we bother with transporting our own if they charge the same to use theirs? If I had known, we would have brought two cars, so I found that very irritating. It cost us $67 for two people to spend 3 hours on the river. Pricey, in my opinion. 

    All in all, I would return, but be more prepared with two cars and heavy-duty earplugs to block out the loud parties.

    Rocky Fork State Park Campground

    Meh

    We chose this campground for its proximity to Serpent Mound. It's very middle of the road. The camp store is better than average, but the grounds themselves leave a lot to be desired. Very little privacy, small, uneven sites, bathhouses out of an 80s slasher movie. So much goose poop. The firewood we purchased from the camp store was just awful. Wouldn't light, it just smoked. It's not the first time we've had this problem with wood from an Ohio state park camp store.

    The staff was super friendly and everyone we encountered was very nice, but it's certainly not somewhere I would want to spend more than a night.

    Long's Retreat Family Resort

    My family’s favorite place.

    We’ve had a permanent site at Long’s for a couple of years now. My wife and kids want to live there for the summer, and I sure can’t argue. There is LOTS to do. Swimming, water slides, canoeing, go-cart racing, mini golf, and a full arcade give plenty of variety. Of course, relaxing by the campfire, grilling hot dogs and making s’mores is really what makes the time with the kids special. The owners are wonderful people who take pride in what they do, and very carefully select the right people to be part of their team. The showers and bathrooms are always squeaky clean and the grounds are exceptionally well maintained. I’ve found permanent campers and weekenders alike to be a great group of folks. Long’s Reatreat is the perfect place to unplug and unwind.


Guide to Goshen

Stonelick Lake State Park sits at 895 feet elevation with average summer temperatures of 85°F. The park's 500-acre lake prohibits motorized boats, creating protected waters for paddling sports and fishing. Campgrounds near Goshen offer varied terrain with a mix of wooded sites and open meadows, most operating from April through October when Ohio weather is most favorable for outdoor recreation.

What to do

Kayaking and canoeing on Little Miami River: Boat rentals available at Morgan's Canoe and Outdoor Adventure where visitors can explore the scenic waterway. "Morgan's is amazing! They have been around for a few generations and provide canoeing, rafting, and kayaking at different trip lengths for a great price," notes Carolyn M. The rental facility provides transportation back to your campsite after river trips.

Bicycling on paved trails: The Little Miami Bike Trail connects to several camping areas and offers miles of paved surfaces. "Close to the Little Miami Bike Trail this was easy to walk on with my friend and her two little ones. The trail was paved which was a huge help for those of us who were extra short," shares Kenpocentaur K.

Swimming options: Cowan Lake State Park Campground offers designated swimming areas during summer months. "This is a great park in southern Ohio, easy to reach, 20 minutes off the interstate 275," writes Craig C. Most swimming areas are open from Memorial Day through Labor Day, with some beaches closing at dusk.

Triathlon participation: Morgan's Riverside Campground & Cabins hosts an annual triathlon event in early May. "We stayed in early May, which is usually when they do their Triathlon. The Army Corps of Engineers decided to let water out of the dam up river, so it was flooded for a couple days," reports Amanda S.

What campers like

Large, well-spaced campsites: Campers consistently mention the generous site dimensions at many campgrounds. "The tent sites which I explored on my walks are huge. A great camp site to have a bunch of friends meet up and camp at as it is so close to Cincinnati," notes Kenpocentaur K. about Morgan's Canoe and Outdoor Adventures.

Clean, well-maintained facilities: Beechwood Acres Camping Resort receives high marks for cleanliness. "The pool is heated and large enough for everyone to spread out. There are 5 showers and a set of bathrooms close by the pool. All of which were VERY clean," writes Amy H.

Kid-friendly atmosphere: "We have camped here several times in the last year. It is small enough to let my kids roam a bit on thier bikes and feel comfortable not having eyes on them 24/7. Quiet and Clean," says Jason L. about Stonelick State Park, highlighting the family-friendly layout.

Proximity to attractions: Most campgrounds are within 20-30 minutes of Cincinnati attractions. "Despite the rain and the wind we had a great time! Our spot was right next to a small Pollinator trail that lead to the water. My little ones had a blast riding their scooters around the round about," reports Jess H.

What you should know

Seasonal considerations: Most campgrounds operate April through October. "Season: April 1 to October 31" is listed for Stonelick State Park Campground, though some like Winton Woods remain open year-round.

Reservation requirements: Holiday weekends require advance planning. "Price:$60.00/night for 2 Adults and up to 3 kids(3-16 years of age) 2-night minimum required for weekends and 3-night required for holiday weekends," explains Kenpocentaur K.

Noise considerations: River-adjacent campsites may experience higher noise levels. "The noise was not the greatest. They assured us that there was a night person who monitored noise and partying, and there were signs everywhere saying that quiet hours started at 10, but a group of loud, drunk men right on the river were allowed to yell and make a ruckus until at least 2am," reports Megan M.

Terrain and site conditions: "Our site was muddy but I guess that's to be expected when you are next to the river," notes Megan M. about riverside camping areas, highlighting the need for proper footwear and equipment during wet periods.

Tips for camping with families

Try tent camping at Stonelick Lake: The protected environment makes it beginner-friendly. "Despite the rain and the wind we had a great time! Our spot was right next to a small Pollinator trail that lead to the water. My little ones had a blast riding their scooters around the round about," shares Jess H.

Consider a cabin for mixed-weather trips: Lebanon-Cincinnati NE KOA offers cabins with some amenities. "The adorable cabin fulfilled my tiny home dreams and camping craving! The cozy cabin had a queen bed, twin bunks and a sofa that made out to a full size sleeper. Kitchen included a fridge, sink and single cup coffee maker," explains Becky C.

Look for educational opportunities: "I loved the informational boxes and tags that they had on the trees or plants. This is helpful if you have little ones with you or if you are like me and just like to learn about the animals/plants on the trail," reports Kenpocentaur K.

Book glamping options for newcomers: Luxury glamping in Goshen, Ohio provides an easier transition for first-time campers. "This campground had everything we were looking for in a small weekend getaway. The wifi wasn't working while we were there but it just gave us more time to spend together," notes Amy H.

Tips from RVers

Choose your site based on shade needs: "There was significant variety in the types of sites: some were quite wooded while others were full sun. Some sites were much larger than others," explains Kim H. about Cowan Lake State Park Campground.

Watch for site levelness: "We camped at site 35 and it was very slopey, our levelers only helped a little," warns Kara S. about Stonelick State Park, suggesting RVers should inquire about site grade when making reservations.

Full hookup availability varies: "Electric site only, full service all full. A bit rough getting RV setup, but pad is fairly level, so easily setup to use slides. Site 60, 46 feet max length, ours 39," reports Johnothan R., highlighting the need to confirm hookup options before arrival.

Internet access considerations: "Internet here on t-moble 5G home is 90Mbps down and 6 to 20Mbps up. Verizon on cellphone, only 10Mbs down, 1-3Mbps up. ATT cellphones are similar to Verizon," shares Johnothan R., providing useful connectivity information for remote workers.
