Ohio, Indiana & Kentucky Camp Suggestions

Being in the Cincinnati area, have you been to Kentucky Horse Park. That would be an easy trip for you to a nice campground.

Nolin Lake State Park is a gem of a campground, with only 32 RV sites, which are wide, grassy, and many are shaded, along with 27 primitive sites, which are in a separate area. The RV sites have water and electric (50 amps) - $25 per night. There is a good dump station. The campground is located in Mammoth Cave, KY and Mammoth Cave is a short drive away.



As you can see, our site (21) backed up to the water, a fact not missed by our golden retrievers.

Negatives (which were not issues for us): There is a 20 or so mile drive in on 2 lane roads with little to no shoulders.
No wifi.
Verizon extended LTE (which means another provider has a tower near by - Verizon has an agreement with them so no roaming charges.)
According to the host, no over-the-air TV. We didn't verify that.

Hillman Ferry at Land Between the Lakes is another favorite of ours.

Kid age is 3-14 and the "club" is only a group of friends that travel together. Nothing formal and we all are looking to get away, relax and make memories with our kids.

Features we enjoyed this past summer:

Pool
Hiking
Bike riding
Occasional horse back riding
A big area for sports
Some sight seeing/shops...

Thats really about it.

Any State Park or Recreation area in Indiana, State Parks in Ohio, or Kentucky! I recommend EVERY State Park and Recreation Area in Indiana. The only one I do NOT recommend is Fort Boonesborough State Park in Kentucky. The park is located adjacent a very busy and very noisy highway and located right beside a stone quarry and those machines are loud, start early in the morning and run all day. It kills the entire atmosphere of the park, especially the campground. And the noise is everywhere! Other than that one, haven't found one yet in all 3 states we didn't thoroughly enjoy. Each one is so different than than everything else.
