Nice stop! Safe and secure. A little dated and in need of updating bot overall, a good place to stay. Hookups worked great.

I struggled making a reservation online, you need an account and it wouldn’t let me make one but i was able to call in and reserve a spot same day. I’m traveling to the east coast and just needed a place to pitch a tent for the night. worked perfect.

Harrison Lake State Park Campground
Clean sites and facilities, friendly staff
We only stayed one night, but it was quiet enough. Beautiful autumn foliage and easy pull-in sites for both electric and sewer hookup.
It’s IMPORTANT to note that when approaching the park, watch very carefully for signs for the North campsite. You can miss them easily. You must pass the south campsite, which is the primitive sites/non-electric and adjacent to the lake on your right.
Go up the road a ways and turn right and follow signs to the north campsite entrance where the electric sites are located. It’s not very well marked and can be confusing.

LegendMaumee Bay State Park Campground
We camped in September 2026, site 51. Our pad was pretty level and long for us with a short camper. The fire ring was permanently in the ground, which is nice so that people don’t move it around. It was a short walk to the shower house, which was really nice and clean good showers. And we happen to be there during one of their fall fest weekends and they had all kinds of activities for kids to do which was really nice. They have a little trails that go in between some of the campgrounds and around one of the little ponds. Check-in was super easy and there is a dump station as well. What’s nice about a lot of these sites is that there is some kind of trees or big bushes that separates you from your neighbor.

Burr Oak State Park Campground
Great view of the sky for stargazing and telescopes at the sites in 40s. Trails are a little neglected though; lots of downed trees and faded blazes. Maybe it’s late in the season, and they will improve in the spring.

GuideBerlin RV Park & Campground
This is the cleanest park we've ever used! The bathroom is tidy; the showers are roomy and convenient to use. There is a nice playground for younger kids as well as a pickleball court and basketball court for teens and adults. There also is a pleasant hiking trail. We stayed in Site 42, a concrete site, which was fantastic for my spouse's mobility issues. The sites are not super spaced apart, but, with the graduated elevation, we didn't feel smashed together. We visited Amish Country to absorb the beautiful fall scenery, to shop at local stores, and to relax by a campfire in the evening . The campground was perfect for us. If you're seeking a wilderness adventure , this park is not for you .

Mohican Adventures Campground and Cabins
Could not ask for a better site. Absolutely beautiful setting. A nice small lake for fishing, and a perfect shallow stream for kids to play in, running right by the sites. The pool house and facilities are spotlessly clean. On top of that, the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. We even needed a jumpstart for our truck when we were towing the camper out on a rainy Monday morning and someone came around to help. 100% will come back and 100% would recommend to anyone.
Aiden D.ScoutLebanon-Cincinnati NE KOA
Friendly and quiet
There 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.

Nice home base in Amish country
Well maintained campground with friendly staff. Super spacious and clean bathhouse. Close to Berlin and Millersburg for exploring Amish country. Some road noise due to location on main highway.
