We have been coming to Leith Run for 16 years now. The camp host was the best ever in many ways. She kept the restrooms in tip top shape! something that has been lacking for many years. She was also friendly and helpful with any thing we needed. The flooding has taken a toll on the lawn tho and some reseeding would be helpful. The beautiful view tho is unbeatable!

So glad the bathhouse is open and functioning again. Leith Run is our go-to place for camping...and we met some really interesting people there this time. Everything was clean and well-kept, and Mandy does a good job in making the rounds to ensure everyone is happy and doing well...she is a good camp host!

Very pleased with our stay at Leith Run. We camped there opening weekend and had some issues with the power box. We limped it through the weekend. The box was repaired after we left and is perfect working order. I think the grounds are better kept this year compared to years past. Shower house is now up and running which is a big plus for campers that don’t have restrooms and showers. Definitely give it a two thumbs up. 👍👍

It was a great little shaded campground right on the Ohio River. The first couple of days during our trip, the bathhouse was not functioning. But we were there before camping season actually started. We had to drive into Vienna to get firewood because there is no camp office, just a camp host. She was very helpful.

We always love our stay at Leith Run. We love the sites along the river. Sites are clean and quiet. Small walking/bike path. Perfect if you're wanting a quiet escape.

Love Leith Run! Favorite place to camp. Opening weekend we had our favorite site booked. Drove two hours and when we arrived and plugged in we had no power. Fortunately there was maintenance crews working at the campground. He wasn’t able to 100% get the problem resolved but was able to get some power to the box. Enough to get us through the weekend. He worked hard at it and came back on Saturday to check on us. I appreciate that he did that for us. The campgrounds have been water multiple times which has worn on some of the power boxes. Hopefully when we go back in a week things are repaired.
