East Fork State Park Campground and A.J. Jolly Park & Campground maintain pet-friendly sites throughout their camping areas where dogs can accompany families year-round. Both parks provide electric hookups with East Fork offering full-service sites including water and sewer connections alongside fire rings and picnic tables for evening relaxation with pets. Leashed pets must remain under control throughout both campgrounds, with walking paths available for exercise. The campgrounds feature restrooms and shower facilities kept clean according to recent visitors, though A.J. Jolly's premium RV sites have received mixed reviews regarding site layout and positioning. At East Fork, paved sites offer level parking while A.J. Jolly has concrete pads that some RV owners find challenging due to their placement. The bathhouses maintain hot water and proper facilities, providing campers with pets reliable amenities during their stay.
Dog-friendly hiking trails connect to both campgrounds, with East Fork offering several miles of pathways around its large lake suitable for morning and evening walks with pets. Water access points provide opportunities for dogs to cool off during summer months, though owners should bring appropriate waste bags as amenities vary between campgrounds. A.J. Jolly features lakefront sites where pets can enjoy water views with their owners while camping in tents or RVs. The bike path at East Fork terminates in the campground and runs alongside the lake and prairie areas, creating additional exercise options for campers with dogs. Both locations remain within reasonable driving distance to Cincinnati, making them accessible weekend destinations for pet owners seeking outdoor recreation without traveling far from veterinary services or pet supply stores.

GuideA 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.
ScoutThere 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.
RangerThis is a large campground with everything you need. Nice, clean, family friendly campground. Has many private sites backed up to trees. Shower houses has always been clean.
RangerAlways 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.
GuideNow called Unhitched RV Park. I’m quite liberal with my rating so 4 star may be generous. There are quite a few weekender / extended stay sites but they all look clean without too many extensive built-ins. People were all very friendly, desk attendant was excellent with great information and very accommodating. Site workers are busy keeping the place tidy and are nice people. We stayed at the upper sites with plenty of of mature trees for shade. Near the river is very wide open. Had a pull through site with plenty of room for everything. Hook ups are all properly located for standard equipment. Some sites need leveling but ours only used one block under left side. Pool is very nice and we waited for a quiet time to go. New management has taken over recently, so name is now Unhitched RV Park. Showers, laundry, small camp store. Couldn’t get Wi-Fi to work day 1. It can get very busy with golf carts and 4 wheelers. Generally we had a nice site with reasonable privacy. Also the area has a lot to offer with the local small towns.
GuideWell kept campground
ScoutWe made reservations to stay here for 3 nights and missed the first night due to damaging weather nearby, (tornadoes in Cincinnati.) On day two when we arrived we found the access driveway to be deeply creviced from washout conditions. We straddled the crevices on the uphill drive but we were unable to make the 90° narrow access to the site, spinning out in the wet grass on multiple tries.
The only option for exit is to back down the driveway, which in our MB Cruiser (8,000+ lbs) was challenging.
The host is extremely communicative and a pleasure to chat with pre-arrival and completely understanding of our dilemma. We chose not to stay the remaining nights.
Had the weather been favorable, access may have been much easier and is definitely passable for car, truck or small van camping. If your turning radius is long, reserve site #1 which may have been passable for us but we did not attempt because that is not what we had reserved, but the host later offered to us. Site #1 is the lower grassy flat with much wider access.
Check with host about condition of driveway and entry before reserving.
Traveler20 & 30 amp service only. Very nice place to kick back and unwind. Dump station is on a hill so it’s tough to get the job done completely.
RangerKid friendly Good camp store A lot of big sites Good shower room Easy kayak lunching area from Campground. Great trails Easy biking

Campground layout challenges: Some campgrounds have design issues that affect site usability. At A.J.

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 what ever your using are going to be nearly off the level area," explains jeffrey D.
