The host was very nice. He escorted us to our site and helped us park. Water pressure was great. Very clean facilities. Only disadvantage was that it is near railroad tracks. Trains ran all night. If we need to overnight in this area again, we would camp here. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I'd read negative comments on owner but try to assume the best. Unfortunately, they're on target. I suggested this campground to our son, who was in Cincinnati area, having just been granted late admission to the law school. Student housing full. We were considering having him use our new RV for temporary housing. Although our son stopped to check in and explain he was considering a stay there, the owner would not permit a look at the campground. Our son is tall, clean-cut, not a party person. He was driving late model car, not a jalopy. Owner's peculiarity exceeded his self interest. This could have been monthly rental with new clean modern RV and trouble-free paying RV-er. We'll "ease on down the road!" We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We had reserves about this campground due to unable to locate with GPS, but the directions on the Good Sam web page were dead on. Once we got there we were vary pleased. The grounds were clean, the staff went out of there way to show us to our site, and when my son and I rented a paddle boat they even wiped out the inside. We would stay here again if back in the area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a nice overnight campground but you do get a some noise from the train tracks on one side and the interstate on the other. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice good Sam Park, They have a fishing lake (no swimming) and there are sites right on the water, not now while we were here, probably during the summer. Clean, neat and level sites. The only thing wrong is the constant noise from the freeway, and a train now and then. It's alright for a one night stay. I do recommend the place. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Stayed only one night but found campground very pleasant. Management very nice and helpful.The only downside is the trains.We will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Clean park. Friendly staff. Host led us to site. Water had heat tape so we had water, temp was in upper 20's. Visited in late November over Thanksgiving. Would go back again.. in warmer weather. Easy access. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very clean well laid out. Friendly staff checked us in and showed us to our site. There is a far amount of noise from both the Interstate and a very active rail line across the road. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The campground is well maintained. We were in the campsite for approximately 12 hours and 21 trains passed by, blowing their whistles. It was very difficult to sleep. We gave this a low rating because of the trains. We will not stay their again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very friendly staff. Restrooms were clean. Shady and level sites. Grounds very well taken care of. Being so close to the expressway, there was some traffic noise, but nothing that would stop me from going back again We camped here in a Motorhome.
Real nice looking park but my 30 amp power voltage dropped real low. It was hot. Train noise wasn't too bad but you could hear them come by. Will stop again. Stayed here going north and south this trip. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Friendly staff takes you to your site. Poor low voltage. Meter was always in the red. I changed poles, was a little better, but still boarded red. When I told the office they told me that I had too much hooked up. I checked at the pole BEFORE hook up. They wouldn't listen. Would not stop here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This campground is no longer a KOA, it's a Good Sam. I actually work-camped here for one month while relocating to the Cincinnati area. I was supposed to stay at Oak Creek Campground in Walton, but that is another review. (Reader's Digest version: Ewww). When I told the owner about my disgust of Oak Creek, he just laughed; he had heard worst stories than mine. I had a nice clean site and yes, it is between a very active rail line and I-75. However, I never had to worry about my trailer or my stuff. The owner's were always on top of who should be there and who shouldn't. The campground stayed immaculately clean and when I needed to extend my stay due to a home closing, they were very accommodating. Our kids opened the pool on Memorial Day weekend! No, it's no resort destination, but this campground was safe and clean and that's more than you could say for the other aforementioned campgrounds in the vicinity. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Not a destination park but good enough if your passing through. Easy to get to from the highway, hosts were very nice, grounds were very clean and looked nice. However, the sites were a bit small and the campground is right next to I-75 with an active railroad on the other side and above is airline trafic from the nearby Cincinnati airport, peace and quiet is one thing you will not find. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

$35 a night for four people. Just above average restrooms. Smaller grass area in the sites. $5 a day to fish. Visitors are allowed only 2 hours. The train can be annoying. Swimming pool was nice. Pretty well shaded sites. We stayed there for the Nascar Busch. Not the best place to go, but the staff was friendly and we had a great time. We will be back next year. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
If you are just over nighting then this place isn't bad except maybe for the railroad track that runs just
across the road from the park. If you plan on spending a weekend or extended holiday, then I would reconsider. You are not permitted guests or vistors, weekends or holidays, so if you have family or friends in the vicinity they won't be welcome. Some of the staff were rude. We camped here in a camper.

Nice maintained park, nice staff If your just passing thru and don't want to unhook, specify that when you ask for a pullthru. We stayed one night for an early departure but had to unhook and move the car, all hookups are at the rear of the site and unless you want to unlimber the 20ft sewer hose, depends on what your towing. Would go back in a pinch. We camped here in a camper.

Average KOA with tight movement for big rigs. Sites not level, many low hanging tree branches. Fast freight railroad track VERY near campground WILL disturb your sleep. We camped here in a camper.
Clean, attractive, well laid out. The sites where we were are gravel, but level. We arrived late, after the office was closed, but still got an escort to the site, which was welcome in the dark. Staff and management were friendly, flexible and helpful. The train and interstate noise others have mentioned was there, but not a problem in the hum of our air conditioner. Pet friendly, the owners dog was with him and welcomed our two dogs to the site! Rate was a Good Sam rate, they will also honor the KOA card for discount. We will come back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This campground was nice and the grounds were lovely, however the sites were not very level. They took us to our site and we had no problems with the owner. Didn't have to disconnect for the night, which we appreciated. We could not get onto Wi-Fi and got no help from staff: the reply was "Ours works just fine here in the office." Our biggest complaint was the noise: from the train and interstate. It would be really bad in a pop-up without an air conditioner to drown out the noise. When you first exit the interstate, you wind around for several miles through a small town and think you are going out into the country. Actually you are circling around and are right beside the interstate, although there are trees blocking the views, just not the noise. The train is right across the street from the park entrance. We would probably stay here again for a overnighter. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I would have rated this campground a bit higher except for the constant, rather loud noise from the neighboring interstate, and a busy RR track. Also, many sites are quite off-level. Otherwise, it appears to be an older KOA that is gradually being improved. Very cute murals painted on wooden outbuildings by the pool, rec room and on the bathroom privacy screens. The pool looked clean & inviting and was being used by some of the kids staying there. Most sites are shaded and some have a nice view of the small lake; fishing is allowed but a license is required through the campground office. Utilities varied from old to newer - again, probably a sign of some upgrading. Decent overnighter, but from the noise standpoint, I wouldn't recommend it for soft-sided rigs or very light sleepers. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We used this campground as an overnight stay on our way to Tennessee. The staff was friendly and accomodated our request for a pull through campground that was long enough that we would not need to unhook for the evening. The pool was heated and clean. The campground has easy access to I-75. The only negative to the campground is its close proximity to I-75 and to a very busy train track provide a constant background noise. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
At this park they actually use golf carts to take you to your site, we really thought this was great. But make sure you park neat and straight and not on the grass or he will kick you out. Would I stay there again I dont think so. They were friendly enough but the owner was just too picky. Everything had to be perfect. The lake was beutiful though. But you could hear the traffic from the highway. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Wonderful overnight stop before Cincinnati. Hosts are more than accommodating, even in inclement weather. The restrooms and showers were VERY clean and nicely decorated. They even smelled wonderful! We will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is the old Cincinnati South KOA. Another KOA that has gone Good Sam. Staff is friendly and helpful. Highway on one side Train track on the other. Leave a vent fan or AC on and it should not bother you. While it is clean, the camp needs a little TLC. We should see what the next few years bring. We camped here in a Motorhome.
