ScoutTent camping is great, and there are lots of camper lots that are big rig friendly, with all of the hookups. Shower house and restroom are very clean. They have a laundry mat as well. Staff is super friendly and very helpful.
ScoutWe didn’t have reservations but Tammy and Billy were wonderful. The bathrooms are nice and clean. If you’re looking for a relaxing spot this is it.
GuideCouldn’t get in to the Craser Lake campground because it was full came here as an alternative. Wooded sights are nice, large enough for trailer. No potable water. Pit toilets but they constructed a new modern outhouse but as of my visit not open. It’s an Equestrian friendly so lots of people with horses.

TravelerWe had such a good time we extended our trip. Only 3 mile of trails, but fabulous for the family and well kept. Creek is great to play in. So much wildlife. The campground and facilities were in great shape. The only minor issue was the camp store and museum only open Thursday -Sunday, but we were visiting early in the season. Paved campground is great for bikes, scooters and roller skates! Spigots are far from some.of the sites and you may need more than a 50 ft hose for water hook up.
ScoutHave to get back to camping there. Always had a good time. Swimming ,camping ,kayaking, tubing and always having something fun to do
New Richmond, Ohio camping areas range from river-edge sites to wooded state parks within a 15-25 mile radius. The region sits along the Ohio River valley at elevations between 500-900 feet, creating diverse terrain for camping. Summer temperatures typically reach 85-90°F with high humidity, while spring and fall offer more comfortable camping conditions with temperatures in the 60-70°F range.
Kayaking and boating access: Jim Terrell Park in Milford offers direct river access for kayakers and canoeters. "This looks like a solid option to tent for a night though. The town looks very nice and quiet, and the park seems well-kempt. If the sites are on the river, just know there's a restaurant on the opposite bank that might be a source of noise/light at night," notes camper Evan C.
Hiking opportunities: At Stonelick State Park Campground, trails connect directly to campsites. "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," says Jess H. The park includes multiple short hiking paths suitable for beginners.
Fishing access: Multiple locations offer shore fishing, with East Fork State Park Campground providing one of the largest lakes. "This park has a little for everyone. There was several miles of bike trails, bridle trails and hiking trails. There is also a beach and marina for campers away from the main beach and marina for those just visiting the park for the day," shares Andrea F.
Bison viewing: Big Bone Lick State Park offers a unique opportunity to see live bison. "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. A visitor center and gift shop is also onsite," explains Lisa S.
Concrete pads at river sites: Tucker's Landing receives high marks for its level sites overlooking the Ohio River. "Overall this RV park is one of the nicest I've been to. The area is really well maintained and everything is clean. Each spot had plenty of space for activities. Each plot also has it's own concrete slab for your RV, so you don't have to worry about parking in the mud," explains Daniel G.
Clean facilities: Campers frequently mention the upkeep of bathrooms and shower houses. "This park is super convenient if you're planning on going to the ark encounter and the creation museum because it's about 30-45 minutes in either direction. The park itself is quiet, clean, fairly spread out, and has helpful staff," notes Tiffany D. about Big Bone Lick State Park.
Lake views: Water access from sites ranks high in camper reviews. "Kincaid Lake State Park Campground offers one of the best water views in the region. "Breathtaking scenery. The boating area is nice and has your typical 'outdoor' facilities you would find at a rest area. The scenery of the water and trees are amazing," shares Lisa S.
Urban convenience with nature setting: Winton Woods Campground provides an unusual combination of urban access and natural surroundings. "I stayed at an electric only spot nestled in the trees by the lake. I was the only RV in this section all week and it was so peaceful and private. There is a fire ring, a picnic table and an oversized gravel spot with plenty of trees to hang my hammock from," shares camper Tamar.
Limited cell service: Despite proximity to Cincinnati, some camping spots near New Richmond have spotty coverage. "One final note: 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," reports Lee D. about East Fork State Park.
Site leveling challenges: Many campgrounds in the region require careful leveling. "The campground is on a hillside so think theatrical style site. None are level looking so you will need to know what your doing to level your rig," notes Bobby C. about A.J. Jolly Park & Campground.
Seasonal availability: Several campgrounds close during winter months. Stonelick State Park operates only from April through October, while others like East Fork remain open year-round with reduced services during winter.
Reservation requirements: Weekends fill quickly, especially at waterfront sites. "This is a great park in southern Ohio, easy to reach, 20 minutes off the interstate 275. There are a number of good sites, but some with a significant slope that leveling would be an issue," explains Craig C. about Stonelick State Park.
Playgrounds and recreation areas: Winton Woods offers multiple child-friendly amenities. "Great campground and park. Plenty to do. Hiking, biking, kayaking, fishing, splash park, etc. Campground was super clean and quiet. Bathhouses were very clean," shares Jeremy K.
Educational opportunities: Big Bone Lick State Historic Site provides natural history learning. "This is a small and simple park with a lot of opportunities to learn. There are a lot of little trails that criss cross each other and a lot of informational signs and a little museum. This is not a destination for serious hiking, but is perfect for families," explains Lynn G.
Bike-friendly options: Several campgrounds connect to regional bike trails. "The Milford bike trail is part of a paved bike path that is 76 miles long. This campsite is tucked away as in across the street from the bike trail," explains a reviewer about Jim Terrell Park.
Swimming access: Look for campgrounds with designated swimming areas during summer. "Great place to enjoy the outdoors. Amazing views of the water and surrounding wooded areas. Awesome place to swim during daytime hours, just remember to use caution and don't go out of designated area," advises Lisa S. about Stonelick State Park.
Full hookup availability: Not all campgrounds offer complete hookups. "What a great place to stay! Plenty of water front sites for kayaking and fishing, clean bathhouses, easy to get to, beautiful lake!" notes Kristen B. about Kincaid Lake State Park.
Site selection for larger rigs: Consider size limitations when booking. "Pad are about 12 x12 concrete so that's a plus but the location of the pads if you want to use your RV awning means your wheels in whatever your using are going to be nearly off the level area or in the grass. Sites 7, 11, 10, 3 are the best," advises Jeffrey D. about A.J. Jolly Park.
Dump station locations: Plan for end-of-stay dumping needs. "Water and electric hookups are standard at most developed sites, with full hookups available at select locations. Dump station is about 500 ft away," notes a reviewer about camping options in the area.
