According to reviews, these backcountry tent sites feature common cooking areas with logs for seating and dedicated posts for hanging food bags. One camper noted, "The Twin Valley Trail was well marked and had a variety of ravines. While you might think this is a small park, it actually covers around 2,000 acres." At Jacoby Road Canoe Launch, tent campers can enjoy a "beautiful spot for tent camping right next to the Little Miami River," with picnic tables and fire pits, though campers must pack in their own water and pack out all trash. Tent sites throughout the region typically require reservations through their respective park systems.
