"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. The restrooms are a quick walk and very clean."

Guidethe campground is seriously in need of some tlc and they have gotten rid of the deer exhibit and replaced it with a dog park which is sad because my family spent a few hours each trip just petting and feeding the deer before. also the nature center isn’t what it used to be. bathrooms are always nasty. it’s sad because this used to be our go to campground.
TravelerThis 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.
GuideAutumn 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.
GuideNice 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.
RangerHas a nice size dog park.
TravelerGenerous 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.
GuideThis 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.
GuideWe love camping here! Whether it's tent camping, group camping, RV, cabin, or lodge accommodations they can fill all your needs. Very large park with playgrounds, fishing, swimming, creek access, dog park, archery practice area or walk over to the damn. The bathrooms could use a little better cleaning but all in all it's a great park! We come often and camp at least once a year! Highly recommended.
LegendIf 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.
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.
