even though camp ground seems to have beach. Its beach area is just mud and murky water.

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!

There are many things to do here: Saturday night movies, Bingo, and, of course, the lake. Canoe, paddle board, and kayak rentals.

The park was not full but somewhat busy, yet, outside of kids playing and dogs occasionally barking, there was little noise.

We drove through the entire campground. Some sites were bigger than others. Most sites were relatively flat.

Fall is a good time to visit Caesars Creek. The trees are turning beautiful colors. Also, the park is convenient for the Ohio Renaissance Fair and events at Roberts Arena.

I have always had great experiences at this campground.

I have stayed here several times. The showers are clean and the staff is friendly. Camp sites are spacious. The full hookup sites are a bit smaller. Over all a nice campground!

This was close to home which added to the convenience but camp sites are on top of each other, and lots of nosey people

Sites are close together unless you’re in the loop at the end of the loop. Clean bathrooms with shower Site 118 close to short trail to beach and boat dock Running water

The lake is great, and the sites were clean with a lot of bathrooms nearby. Not many sites with shade, so for tents it was strategic to not be in the sun all day.

Bathrooms were typical, maybe a step below average.

No real complaints, just not as great as others.

Nice, Friendly and clean campground. The showers have some odd pressure and temp controls but that’s the only negative thing. They had activities for the kids (memorial weekend) like movie night, kayaking excursions, etc.

We stayed on site 263, all sites seem to be set up for RVs, so all sites are virtually on the road, not a make or break it but we prefer to our tent to be tucked back a little. It’s a large site, it has a little ravine where the water runs off which angles our tent a bit. So the site is smaller than it looks but still large enough for our family of 5 plus a large dog.

There are hiking trails and mountain bike trails all over. There is a pathway between our site and the next site that leads down to the lake. It’s easy enough for us to haul our kayak and dinghy boat up and down with the kids help.

We met friends here last week and we’re happy we found this campground. First, they have excellent, helpful staff. Good amenities, well kept and patrolled park so you feel safe. Another major reason we will be back, the sites aren’t stacked on top of each other. The best space I’ve seen in long time.

Very well spaced, new electrical box’s, and we’ll taken care of. Nature center was a great. Pioneer village was cool too.

Nice campground. Loop F most trees, nice and shady. Our site was very private. Adequate shower house and clean. We drove over to shower in Loop A-updated showers! No dishwashing stations if you need that. Great hiking trails through the woods. 12min from RenFair-a lot of fun! Waynesville-antique Mecca of Ohio-meh, not so much.

Stayed four nights. We were in a loop with lots of trees. Campsite was quite large. Sites back onto very thick foliage and woods. Keep everything well secured from an army of racoons.

Restrooms were clean and nice

Great campground! Stay was very quiet and right by the water. However, the bathrooms were very dirty

Very nice camp ground

We liked this campground. Easy to get in and out. Nice bathrooms. Potable water in many locations.

The park is always neat and tidy, the campground has several sites with hookups

Decently spaced on many sites. Check website carefully for length accommodation. No privacy between sites. Plenty of hiking, bicycling, watersports to do in area, including antiquing and flea markets.

The campground felt like we a were camping in a field. Hardly any trees on the sites. The playground was really lame. My camper got infested with stink bugs. It was really close to the festival. I will only camp there again because of it’s close proximity to the festival grounds.

Although we live in a rural setting, this is a nice campsite to get away and relax. The sites are mostly level and are easy to back into with a fifth wheel. We use full service and it's a nice set up. Picnic table and firepit supplied, and spacious sites.

Pulled in at 4:00 on a Friday. Drive up check in, which is also camp store. Nice site. Shaded, very short walk to shower, across from camp host who was absent. Walking Trails that connect the campsite loops.

It's a nice place to camp, depending on where you are some of the spots are too close together, would recommend trying to book in the F loop

Great place to camp for both RV and tent camping, large beautiful lake and decent fishing

We stayed for two weeks having grandkids stay with us. Dump station and fresh water convenient. Large sites. Lots to do in the area.

This campground has a huge lake. The campground itself has a different access point than the state park. If you have a boat in our camping this is a really nice feature. We had a spot at the end of a loop in the cul-de-sac area. Those spots are the largest by far. They can fit about 3 to 4 RVs, although not permitted. We were camping in the early spring, So there wasn’t a lot of foliage yet. Hopefully in the summer there’s more shaded areas

Have waited six months into our RV life to start reviews for fair comparisons. Spent 3 nights. Loved our spot (a fellow camper asked if we knew the mayor to get it…we don’t). Some hiking right from the site. Access down the trails to the water. Loved the bat boxes along the trails by the local boy scouts. Great dog walking areas. Very quiet, low capacity. Thoroughly enjoyed the nearby Ntl Museum of the USAF.

Located within an afternoon’s drive of downtown Dayton and Cincinnati, this park makes the perfect weekend getaway from the day to day grind. Located on a large reservoir, the state park has everything from boating, hiking and mountain biking to just sitting around the campground not doing much. 

One important thing to think about with this state park is site selection. For a park surrounded by trees and forest the campsites offer a surprising dearth of shady maples for the sites. On first visit, one might suppose this was a young park, newly cleared for recreational purposes, but upon visiting some 20 years later, one would be disappointed at the lack of opportunity taken for shade production. Most of the sites nearer the lakeshore or cul-du-sacs, have adequate shade.

The bathhouse was kept very clean, even when it was pretty busy.  Overall, the place was pretty quiet despite the number of campers there.

Pros and Cons to this park...lots of hiking trails, beautiful lake and very clean large sites. The down side is there is a lot to due but the park is so spread out you have to drive everywhere. We went to visit the Pioneer Village ( building were closed due to COVID ) but we were still able to walk around the buildings. Also they have a spillway where you can collect fossils which was really cool but the village and spillway were both about 20 minutes from the campground.
I just don’t like parks where you have to drive everywhere. I like it when all of the attractions are within walking or biking distance.
We did like the campground and will definitely come back. They had good Verizon coverage which is something we now have to pay attention to since my husband works remotely.

The park itself is giant, it ranges from the Gorge to the Fossil Collecting Area, to the campground and lake itself, and also Pioneer Village. Pioneer Village is like a miniature blast from the past as you walk around an entire village of homes and other little gems of the town. Upcoming they will have a pancake brunch and even an Easter egg hunt for the family! You can also go fossil collecting once you get a permit to do so, lots of fun! The Gorge has trails that connect to this area as well, and the Gorge is a beautiful place to just unwind and relax as well as walk trails. Hope you enjoy the photos and the little fella we found at Pioneer Village 💜🌻
