Campgrounds RV Parks Cincinnati Ohio Area

We will be travelling from North Carolina to Cleveland Ohio on Tuesday. I need to find a good park north of Cincinnati on I-71 for an overnight stay. I would appreciate any suggestions.

  • Winton Woods Park has a campground. It is a county park in Hamilton County which is where Cincinnati is. The park is off I275 on the north side just west of I75. Nice campground. Also General Butler in Northern Kentucky is a nice state park campground too just don't pay extra for the lake view sites (you can't really see the lake from the site) Heading north on I71 near Wilmington is Lake Cowan State park also a nice campground.
  • I stayed at Big Bone State Resort Park in Kentucky, about 30 minutes south and west of CVG (Cincy). On the weekends it can be packed, it does have a small museum displaying bones of dinosaurs found in the area.

    Besides being packed I did not like the roads off the highway, I found them curvy and hilly, expect a few farm tractors towing implements coming your way, if you take the roads slow you will be okay.
  • S & T shows 53 CGs within 10 miles of I-71 between Cincinnati and Cleveland. Unfortunately (for you), I live in Cincinnati and I've never found the need to camp along that route, so I can't recommend any. Sorry.
