    Hueston Woods State Park Campground

    it used to be so much better

    the 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.

    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.

    Florence, IN…Nice campground

    Park is well maintained. Nice sized pool and very clean pool area. Park has a playground and dog park. Lots of space between campers with cement patio, fire pit and picnic table and lots of trees. We had no issue pulling in our 42’ 5th wheel. We came in after hours and our name with sits number was posted on the door and plenty of maps for the park. Nice layout! You could barely hear a train off in the distance which sounded cozy. Campground is about 30 min from Madison and Ohio River is across the street. Only con- trash cans are like in a whole different country and hard to get too. Would stay again!!!!!

    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.

    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.

    Hueston Woods State Park Campground

    Great for anyone!

    We 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.

    Great stay

    Very friendly staff. The bathrooms having regular working toilets and showers. The bathrooms are very nice. There is a pool, volleyball courts and a dog park. It is hot in June, so bring a canopy if your RV doesn’t have one.


Guide to Miamitown

Camping options near Miamitown sit within Ohio's rolling hill country at elevations around 500-600 feet above sea level. The region features a mix of forested terrain and open meadows with tributary creeks feeding into the nearby Ohio River. Seasonal temperatures range from below freezing in winter to humid 80-90°F summers, with spring and fall providing moderate camping conditions.

What to do

Hiking trails and biking paths: Miami Whitewater Forest Campground offers extensive trail systems for outdoor recreation. "Several well maintained hiking and walking trails. Also a great bike trail (7.8 and 1.6 mile paved loops), disc golf, kids sprayground and 18 hole golf course."

Water activities on multiple lakes: Nearby lakes provide numerous boating options for campers. "Lake activities, hiking, biking, fishing. Camping can be in tents or various cabins or even in the lodge. Lodge has a restaurant- food was good," according to visitors at Hueston Woods State Park Campground.

Historical exploration: Some area parks feature historical exhibits and structures. Governor Bebb MetroPark Campground has "a pioneer village with log cabins, including a blacksmith forge, etc. that have been moved to the site," making it ideal for history enthusiasts.

What campers like

Natural wildlife viewing: Big Bone Lick State Historic Site Campground offers unique wildlife viewing opportunities. "Great place to learn some history, hike a trail, and view the bison. There are places to have a picnic, and a small campground is available."

Clean facilities: Campers consistently mention facility cleanliness as a highlight. "Winton Woods Campground was a clean and quiet campground that we were pleasantly surprised to find. The campground fills up fast and there were plenty of shaded electric sites close to the lake."

Peaceful waterfront settings: Indian Springs Campground receives praise for its serene water views. "Absolutely love this peaceful, quiet campground. We stay here weeks at a time when visiting Cincinnati. It's no frills, but the view, the ducks and the serenity are well worth staying here."

What you should know

Reservation requirements: Many campgrounds in the area fill quickly, especially on weekends and during peak seasons. "We needed to stay on a Monday night and tried all weekend (Sat and Sun before) to book a site online. Both the mobile site and the full website didn't work."

Site leveling challenges: Some campgrounds have terrain issues. "The campsites are a bit small (in length) and ours (49) was very un-level, and worst of all had no shade at all. Even with our awning out it was scorching until 730pm."

Seasonal limitations: Winter camping options exist but with limitations. At East Fork State Park Campground, "We went the first weekend it was open this year and had a great experience. Stayed Friday-Sunday on a full hookup site against the woods, the road had a loop at the end for easy pull through."

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: When booking sites with children, consider proximity to play areas. "Nice flat camping areas for most sites, small campground with great views of playground for most sites near there. Clean restrooms, easy hook up and set up."
