"There is a little store, but note that the firewood is in huge, unburnable pieces, (as most Ohio state park firewood is), so you'll need tons of kindling and several firestarters, or an ax and some way"
"We stayed in Site 12, which was huge and conveniently located close to a fairly new shower house. That facility was among the very best I've seen! Amazingly clean!"
"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."
"Cowan Lake State Park is near Wilmington, Ohio and they have been making a lot of improvements to the park. It is a great location between Cincinnati and Columbus with easy access from the highway. "
"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."
"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."
$47 - $75 / night
"This campground is shady, quiet with plenty to do in the surrounding area. There is a pool, laundry room and large field with a playground and basketball court."
"There is a nice walking trail through the woods, a small pool, playground, and a pond for fishing."
"The campsite is next to the 12 mile set of mountain bike trails. It is a great mountain biking/camping getaway. The trails are easy, so for all levels. Nice camping for families. "
"Great place to visit has three parks in one John Bryant and Glen Helen nature preserve and Clifton Gorge are some of the best hiking trails in south west Ohio."
"There are 5 showers and a set of bathrooms close by the pool. All of which were VERY clean. This property is well taken care of and we will be back."
"Walking trails to lake. Will be back!"
$29 - $30 / night
"This is your standard Ohio State Park campground. It has the usual parking, water, restrooms, camp store, and activities.
East Fork is rather nice as it has the lake and long trails. "
"Our favorite campsite for the outskirts of Cincinnati. Lots of great spots available! You can get to the lake in about a 15 minute drive."
"My family and I had a good time at Wilmington. It is close enough to Kings Island that we made a trip over. Some of the amenities are showing their age but the pool is really nice."
"There is plenty of hiking close by and either Dayton to the north or Cincinnati to the south for plenty of things to do."
$30 / night
"https://www.morganscanoe.com/ This site is close to King's Island and Fort Ancient. It also was next to a bike trail. "
"The location is amazing being right next to the river. The sites are just a tad close together so we felt on top of the other campers and didn’t have privacy. I will definitely return though."
ScoutThis is a super nice KOA. The environment and people all super! The facilities and amenities are very nice as well! Very kid friendly and dog friendly!
GuideWe stopped here when passing through Ohio. Was a pleasant surprise how nice this park is!
Camp office was small but had a small selection of things for sale.
The campground is very nice, clean bathrooms, and showers.
There is a disc golf course lots of mountain bike trails and hiking trails! As well as some other great amenities.
Would recommend.
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.
TravelerFull service hookups used. Rain and water made area a bit mushy in places. Had great experiences with managers and other tenants. Peacefully and critter friendly.
TravelerElectric site only, full service all full. A bit rough getting RV setup, but pad is fairly level, so easily setup to use slides. Site 60, 46 feet max length, ours 39. Just finished setting up. Internet here on t-moble 5G home is 90Mbps down and 6 to 20Mbps up. Verizon on cellphone, only 10Mbs down, 1-3Mbps up. ATT cellphones are similar to Verizon. Great enough for work or play. Area is nicely arranged for most sites. Has water to fill tanks and Dumping Stations to empty as needed, so great semi-boondocking.
TravelerWe stopped for one night. Beautiful grounds with ponds, pool and nice store. Friendly staff too! We made a note of this KOA to return for a longer stay.
TravelerPeaceful nice place, pets okay. I'd recommend it.
LegendExcellent rural setting. One of the nicer KOAs. Great staff and facilities. Mostly level sites. Grass, trees, and a pond all very well maintained.
ScoutDespite the rain and the wind we had a great time! 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. The showers and park are a small walk but also super nice. There’s a few trails at the entrance to the campground and a canoe/kayak launch a few minutes drive from the entrance. Great little spot and can’t wait to come back!
