This is by far the worst campground we’ve been to in our 20 years of camping. We had to check in at the visitor station, and the visitor station is not equipped for a 32 foot to behind camper to turn around in. It Upon check-in, they did not have maps or printouts of activities. The turned to enter the campground portion was extremely tight again. This was not built for campers. To say our site was on level would be an understatement! And it was loud. Very loud. In looking at the dump station on the way out, we are not sure how it could possibly work. It’s very tight, on a steep hill.

I have to start by saying this campground would be wonderful if you had a tent or a very Small pop-up. We have a 30 foot travel trailer and tried two different sites and we could not fit. The staff was very friendly and we were refunded our money. We had to go find another campground so please be aware that these are very small sites. Campground was built in 1976 it is difficult to maneuver with modern RVs. Also, the dump station is on a hill in the entrance and I can’t even imagine what that would be like if more than one person was in line

Some of the spots are a little tight or awkward for a camper..or unlevel, especially in comparison to the Google Map walkthrough. The ladies in the welcome center were helpful in accommodating us new RV campers. The coons are little cuttle troublemakers. Overall we will definitely be back. Makes for a quick trip into Cincy.

We were skeptical on our first night because it wasn't what we were used to or expecting. However, as the days went on and we interacted with the rangers and visitors center hosts, we came to really enjoy our stay. There are some struggles (the walk up hill to the bathhouse and the dump station on the opposite side), but these are merely inconveniences and not trip disruptions. All in all, we will be returning to Miami Whitewater for future camping trips.

The campground itself is really nice and maintained. It’s quiet, slow pace. The only problem we ran into was the bathrooms and the dump station. I feel like the campground needs to at least have a bathroom built by the porta potties. That hill was atrocious to get up to get to the bathroom. We drove up to shower and use the potty. The campsites itself were pretty level, and park rangers patrolled the area quite frequently. The park is nice for the kiddos it looked newer. You could hardly dump everyone was there at once, and I’m not sure who put and or designed the dump stations on a hill, but it was not the move. Everyone is trying to back up and people were waiting. That was the 0/5… if I was just basing it off the dump station. 3/5 because of the bathroom situation… but other than that a nice peaceful couple of days. It was close to town just in case you forgot anything.

Quick drive to Miamitown and Whitewater park. Nice lake and beautiful forest with extensive trails - some for horses, others for biking/walking/running, and others for hiking. Plus playground, campground, disc golf, etc

I've been going to Miami Whitewater since I was young and it is, by far, my most favorite place to go camping in and and around Cincinnati. Campsites can be a little close together in some places, which is great if multiple groups are going camping together. Room for RVs or campers in most/all spots. Even when it's busy, it doesn't feel like you're piled on top of each other in most of the spots. There is a awesome playground for the kids near many of the sites. Most, if not all sites have electrical outlets and there are potable water spigots nearby. There is a portapotty at the bottom of the loop that is usually kept very clean, but at the top of the loop (just a short walk, uphill, from the bottom of the loop), there are actual bathrooms with showers.

By far the best experience we have had staying in a campground! The staff, most notably the lady ranger, (I forgot to get her name), were extremely courteous and helpful, and the amenities were absolutely spotless. The rates are good, highly recommend.

My family and I had a great time. They have done a lot of work to the camp grounds. Though some lots are still undeveloped most are in great shape. The scenery is beautiful.
