Maddie L.TravelerMounds 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!

The bathrooms are very clean and the showers work good. The place is very clean and the owner is accommodating.

GuideEast Fork State Park Campground
A large campground spread out over multiple loops. Roads and campsites are paved. Our site #416 was spacious and secluded at the end of a dead end road. The bathhouse was a short hike away and in good condition.
Aiden D.ScoutLebanon-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.

Rocky Fork State Park Campground
Been coming here since I was a kid.
Always great time here. The upper part has more wooden areas then the lower part. But those spot are close to the lake. They a great playground. They have a big camp store with a putt putt, big lake we’re boating, fishing and kayaking. Multiple shower houses very clean kept up. Nice campground to ride bikes around.

Guide to Mason
Lebanon-Cincinnati NE KOA welcomes pets at all campsites, cabins, and RV spots with spacious plots suitable for families traveling with dogs. Stonelick State Park Campground and Caesar Creek State Park Campground provide pet-friendly options with designated pet exercise areas and waste stations. Most campgrounds require pets to remain on leashes no longer than 6 feet when outside the RV or tent. Morgan's Riverside Campground & Cabins features large wooded sites with mature trees where pets have ample room to rest in shaded areas. Campers note that KOA's bathrooms and facilities are kept exceptionally clean, an important consideration when bringing pets that may track dirt or mud into shower areas. Many campgrounds in the Mason area allow multiple pets per site, though some cabin accommodations may limit the number or size of dogs permitted.
Dog-friendly hiking trails surround many Mason area campgrounds, particularly at Caesar Creek State Park where pets can enjoy miles of shoreline paths and woodland routes. The Little Miami Scenic Trail provides paved pathways suitable for dog walking near several campgrounds, including Morgan's Riverside. East Fork State Park offers primitive camping with dogs in more secluded areas away from developed campgrounds. Campers should prepare for seasonal conditions, as summer heat requires extra water for pets and winter camping necessitates appropriate pet bedding. Most campgrounds enforce quiet hours starting at 10pm, with barking policies that require pet owners to manage noise. The dog park at Lebanon-Cincinnati NE KOA, though not huge, remains larger than those at most nearby campgrounds and provides a safe space for off-leash exercise after a day of hiking.
