River Trail Crossing

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Small and privately owned, River Trail Crossing sits along a river in Butler, Ohio, open May through October with full hookups for RVs up to 50 feet. Riverfront sites have water and electric; sites set back from the water include 30-amp and 50-amp service. State Route 95 runs adjacent to the campground, so sites on the river's right side pick up bridge traffic noise. The river itself runs knee to hip deep at this stretch, drawing tubers and kayakers, though fishing is limited here. The Malabar Farm State Park Campground is a nearby option for anglers. The B&O paved bike and walking trail runs directly behind the campground. Bathrooms and showers have drawn positive marks for cleanliness. This campground works best for RV campers who want river access and trail connectivity without a large, crowded setting.

Pleasant

We had a riverfront spot for 4 nights, enjoyed our stay. 30amp, but the AC was still effective on a couple hot days. Bike trail access right from the campground. Golf nearby, Amish shops, canoeing. Great area to visit, we will return.

Nice little campground

River Trail Crossing is privately owned, small campground (which we like) but nice and quiet. Sites include tents, small rigs and large pull through sites for big rigs. Sites located on the river are water and electric. Sites off the river have 50 amp and 30 amp. State route 95 runs to the right of the campsite so if you reserve any sites on the river (right side) you will have some traffic noise from the bridge. We reserved spot 32, farthest site to the right on the river. We loved it. The river was only about knee to hip deep. Most family’s floated with tubes and saw some kayaks. Not much for fishing at this particular section of the river. There is a paved bike/walking trail behind the campground - B&O trail. Bathrooms and showers were very clean. They do have 2 dumpsites available. We really enjoyed this campground, owners were very friendly and offer firewood and propane if needed. Mohican state park is only 10-15 minutes away which is really nice for hiking and fishing as well. We will be back!
