Very clean and well maintained campground. Mix of RV, pull behind and tent campers. My son and I tent camped on spot 12, very close to the Ohio River. Excellent spot. A little bit of grade to that area so just set your camp head up and it will be great. Nice restroom/shower facilities. Extremely polite on-site campground attendant. T-Mobile cell service was decent at the site. Scenery of the river and boats and wildlife are fantastic. Would definitely recommend. 4.5 stars!

I had reserved a tent site for Saturday 12 June. Upon arrival at around 6pm my reserved site site was occupied. The occupant said that the site had a "Available" sign on it and they checked in/paid and took the site. I went to the Camp Host's site to sort this out. The camp host was not there and nowhere to be found. There was two other sites "available" in the whole park but I wasn't going to take them, only to be told later that it was reserved just like mine was. Not wanting to cause a scene and try and make the family leave my reserved site I had to give up my site and go find a hotel in a nearby town. It was obvious the the camp host likely didn't bother to go change the sign on the reserved sites, including mine. Those other two sites were likely reserved too because the reservation system website said that there were no available sites for 12 June. The camp host is definately to blame and should also have been there on a busy weekend early evening to assist campers. I would like a refund. Thank you.

This little park is a true treasure. It is meticulously maintained and the setting, along the Ohio river, is scenic and relaxing. Internet service on waterfront sites.

We love that it's small and quiet. We went to The Jug for ice cream. Watched boats on the river.

We stayed in a tent at site 20. The entire place was clean, the bathhouse was well stocked, the site was well taken care of and it was a very peaceful weekend. We just wish firewood would be sold there.

The campground host lady was very nice! We didn't realize there wouldn't be garbage cans at the pavilion. Luckily, we were close to the park and were able to get garbage bags and tape to the posts. But it would be good to know that in advance. But it was easy to just throw our bags in the dumpster. Otherwise, the space was good and everyone had a nice time!

Great out of the way kind of place. Bring what you need with you because there isn't much around that's quick. Especially firewood. However, Saint Mary's is 15 minutes away for those forgotten items and Marietta is twice that distance. The site (#6) was a bit muddy and the approach was in a dog leg which made backing a bit tricky. Bathrooms were cleaned everyday and the facilities were neat and orderly. Over all we very much enjoyed our stay and have plans to return on a regular basis.

  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.

  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
