Campground Reviews

Too hot, NO TREES OR SHADE!! Your tent areas Should NOT be mixed with RV'S. #3 had to be one of the worst places. You should just have cabins in the Ares because with no shelter, especially summer is the worst place for even picnicing.

Sorry you were hot, our tent sites are dual purpose and come with electric and water. By law we are required to have them close to the shower house and close to a cooling area, that’s the tent site that was assigned to you when you book on line.

Great people and campground. They have a lot of activities at the campground and the family is so very nice and helpful. Very quiet. Some minor train noises but nothing we could hear inside the camper. View of the river was fantastic. We will be back!

The campground was nice. Everything was fine except our spot was between to campers that were family. They used our campsite to cross between campers a lot. They would even cut through under our canopy. We didn’t report it because we didn’t want to cause any ill feelings but it was very disrespectful!

It was very nice, everything was very clean and the people who own it and work there are so friendly. It would be a 5 star if it had a pool instead of swimming lake and maybe a jump pad instead of foam party. And a few adult swings sitting along the river at the end of the grassy area would be nice. Kids loved the playground. Shower houses and bathrooms were super clean. We stay here quite often.

Great, quiet, beautiful location on the Ohio River! Newer sites with more to come. Would be a perfect place for a longer stay. NOTE: The electric that is "brand new" throws error on some surge protectors like our Power Watchdog. However, they assured us not using the Watchdog would not be an issue and it wasn't.

The staff was great. Enjoyed talking with them and learning the history of the area. The fishing lake was nice and clean. My wife and I spent a lot of time fishing. Our camp site was located right on the river. The views were fantastic of barges going up and down stream.

Very well kept and quiet campground (except for the trains). Helpful and friendly management.

Owners driving around picking up the smallest litter, well laid out, literally feet from the river. Looks like a newer facility all around. Would stay again

We absolutely love this campground! The staff is so friendly and helpful. Our boys love the playground, the peddle cars and the mining. Everything is so clean and the campground is taken very good care of. We are already planning our next camp!
