This is a very nice campground, small and well-kept, right on the river. It is unfortunate that the shower house w/ sinks is damaged and has not been repaired. There is running water, and plenty of it, it seems, but no shower and sinks to use. We do not have a camper, but sleep in the back of our pickup truck. Having sinks to use would have been much better. We won't reserve a spot here again unless the sinks are fixed.

We like this small and quiet campground, and camp here every year at least once. Disappointed the bathhouse is still out of order…hope it gets fixed soon.
The camp host makes herself available regularly, and is a very pleasant lady !!!

Nice camp ground. Good location with lots to do locally. The camp host was very nice and helpful. The showers were closed do to flood damage. The out houses were nasty. All in all had a great stay just wish there were flush toilets.

My husband and I love Leith Run Campground. It is very pretty with the Ohio River so close. The campground is very quiet (except for the rooster(s) crowing across the river, which we didn't really mind.) We have camped at Leith Run several times and plan to go as often as we can. It will be nice when the bathhouse is repaired and reopened. But we are happy they were able to reopen the campground this season. Great place!!

Leith run was a great weekend, we didn't get any mosquito bites and it was awesome to relax and watch the river traffic, will definitely go back there again, we had a rough start because there were other people in our reserved site, the camp host took care of the problem and we got set up, rest of the weekend was great!
