Caesar Creek State Park Campground

The Cedar Point group camp at Caesar's Creek is a large hillside camp site. Yes, hillside. The site sits at the end of an access road that circles back on itself and has a reasonably large parking lot. A large flat lawn sits inside of the road circle but the majority of the campsite is a steep hill with a few flat spots for tents. There is a fire pit and picnic shelter at the top of the so you'll be lugging your supplies up the hill for meals.

Several trail heads start all around the site, both on top and at the bottom of the hill. One of those trails leads down from the hilltop to a small beach on the water. Since the trailhead starts from the picnic shelter at the top of the hill it's reasonably private and we enjoyed fishing and swimming from the beach. It does sit in the wake zone so you'll have to deal with waves from the boats.

The restrooms are at the bottom of the hill and have flush toilets with running water for washing, though only the cold water was working when we visited. The worst we encountered there were carpenter bees and some spiders. They were reasonably clean when we arrived too. The park service did come and close them early on our checkout day, but they came back and reopened them for us by request.

Overall, there are better group camp sites at Caesar's Creek. Wellman Meadow has the same amenities, except for the beach, and is flat as a board. Book that site if you can but if it isn't available, and the hill won't be a challenge for your group, Cedar Point is fine.

This was close to home which added to the convenience but camp sites are on top of each other, and lots of nosey people

Sites are close together unless you’re in the loop at the end of the loop. Clean bathrooms with shower Site 118 close to short trail to beach and boat dock Running water

The lake is great, and the sites were clean with a lot of bathrooms nearby. Not many sites with shade, so for tents it was strategic to not be in the sun all day.

Bathrooms were typical, maybe a step below average.

No real complaints, just not as great as others.

Nice, Friendly and clean campground. The showers have some odd pressure and temp controls but that’s the only negative thing. They had activities for the kids (memorial weekend) like movie night, kayaking excursions, etc.

We stayed on site 263, all sites seem to be set up for RVs, so all sites are virtually on the road, not a make or break it but we prefer to our tent to be tucked back a little. It’s a large site, it has a little ravine where the water runs off which angles our tent a bit. So the site is smaller than it looks but still large enough for our family of 5 plus a large dog.

There are hiking trails and mountain bike trails all over. There is a pathway between our site and the next site that leads down to the lake. It’s easy enough for us to haul our kayak and dinghy boat up and down with the kids help.

We met friends here last week and we’re happy we found this campground. First, they have excellent, helpful staff. Good amenities, well kept and patrolled park so you feel safe. Another major reason we will be back, the sites aren’t stacked on top of each other. The best space I’ve seen in long time.

Very well spaced, new electrical box’s, and we’ll taken care of. Nature center was a great. Pioneer village was cool too.

Nice campground. Loop F most trees, nice and shady. Our site was very private. Adequate shower house and clean. We drove over to shower in Loop A-updated showers! No dishwashing stations if you need that. Great hiking trails through the woods. 12min from RenFair-a lot of fun! Waynesville-antique Mecca of Ohio-meh, not so much.

Stayed four nights. We were in a loop with lots of trees. Campsite was quite large. Sites back onto very thick foliage and woods. Keep everything well secured from an army of racoons.

Restrooms were clean and nice

Great campground! Stay was very quiet and right by the water. However, the bathrooms were very dirty

Very nice camp ground

We liked this campground. Easy to get in and out. Nice bathrooms. Potable water in many locations.

The park is always neat and tidy, the campground has several sites with hookups

Decently spaced on many sites. Check website carefully for length accommodation. No privacy between sites. Plenty of hiking, bicycling, watersports to do in area, including antiquing and flea markets.

The campground felt like we a were camping in a field. Hardly any trees on the sites. The playground was really lame. My camper got infested with stink bugs. It was really close to the festival. I will only camp there again because of it’s close proximity to the festival grounds.

Although we live in a rural setting, this is a nice campsite to get away and relax. The sites are mostly level and are easy to back into with a fifth wheel. We use full service and it's a nice set up. Picnic table and firepit supplied, and spacious sites.

Pulled in at 4:00 on a Friday. Drive up check in, which is also camp store. Nice site. Shaded, very short walk to shower, across from camp host who was absent. Walking Trails that connect the campsite loops.

It's a nice place to camp, depending on where you are some of the spots are too close together, would recommend trying to book in the F loop

Great place to camp for both RV and tent camping, large beautiful lake and decent fishing

We stayed for two weeks having grandkids stay with us. Dump station and fresh water convenient. Large sites. Lots to do in the area.

This campground has a huge lake. The campground itself has a different access point than the state park. If you have a boat in our camping this is a really nice feature. We had a spot at the end of a loop in the cul-de-sac area. Those spots are the largest by far. They can fit about 3 to 4 RVs, although not permitted. We were camping in the early spring, So there wasn’t a lot of foliage yet. Hopefully in the summer there’s more shaded areas

Have waited six months into our RV life to start reviews for fair comparisons. Spent 3 nights. Loved our spot (a fellow camper asked if we knew the mayor to get it…we don’t). Some hiking right from the site. Access down the trails to the water. Loved the bat boxes along the trails by the local boy scouts. Great dog walking areas. Very quiet, low capacity. Thoroughly enjoyed the nearby Ntl Museum of the USAF.

Located within an afternoon’s drive of downtown Dayton and Cincinnati, this park makes the perfect weekend getaway from the day to day grind. Located on a large reservoir, the state park has everything from boating, hiking and mountain biking to just sitting around the campground not doing much. 

One important thing to think about with this state park is site selection. For a park surrounded by trees and forest the campsites offer a surprising dearth of shady maples for the sites. On first visit, one might suppose this was a young park, newly cleared for recreational purposes, but upon visiting some 20 years later, one would be disappointed at the lack of opportunity taken for shade production. Most of the sites nearer the lakeshore or cul-du-sacs, have adequate shade.

The bathhouse was kept very clean, even when it was pretty busy.  Overall, the place was pretty quiet despite the number of campers there.

Pros and Cons to this park...lots of hiking trails, beautiful lake and very clean large sites. The down side is there is a lot to due but the park is so spread out you have to drive everywhere. We went to visit the Pioneer Village ( building were closed due to COVID ) but we were still able to walk around the buildings. Also they have a spillway where you can collect fossils which was really cool but the village and spillway were both about 20 minutes from the campground.
I just don’t like parks where you have to drive everywhere. I like it when all of the attractions are within walking or biking distance.
We did like the campground and will definitely come back. They had good Verizon coverage which is something we now have to pay attention to since my husband works remotely.

We camped here for the first time during Fourth of July weekend and it was very busy. The park was very clean and nice our site was very big and we had plenty of space from the neighboring site. The pad at our site was starting to crack and break apart which did cause us to have to move our pop up a little so we were level. The bathrooms were very clean and updated. We saw the host go in there every morning and make sure it was clean. They have a washer and dryer in one of the building connected to one of the bathrooms if you need it. A lot of the sites seem to be in direct sun though. We drove around before leaving and it seems majority are direct sun not a lot of shade anywhere. They have a small playground for kids that was closed due to corona but looked nice from what I could see. There is a swimming beach close to the camping area but it is not very big and that is also where a lot of kayakers drop in and get out. The camping beach unfortunately had a lot of trash from people leaving their trash and a lot of debri washes up on that beach from the boats. We did not go to the other side to the actual beach so I don’t know what it looked like. The park has a ton of hiking trails and on the other side of the lake is a area you can search for fossils. My daughter had a great time would go back again for sure...

The park itself is giant, it ranges from the Gorge to the Fossil Collecting Area, to the campground and lake itself, and also Pioneer Village. Pioneer Village is like a miniature blast from the past as you walk around an entire village of homes and other little gems of the town. Upcoming they will have a pancake brunch and even an Easter egg hunt for the family! You can also go fossil collecting once you get a permit to do so, lots of fun! The Gorge has trails that connect to this area as well, and the Gorge is a beautiful place to just unwind and relax as well as walk trails. Hope you enjoy the photos and the little fella we found at Pioneer Village 💜🌻

Beautiful park and camping if you like a parking lot for RVs. Lots of families and pets. Not great for tents but theres a couple ok spots. Not secluded. Very little shade but lots to do at the park and its very clean.

I like the beach, wish they could have a beach dog to chase away the geese.

Camping is also nice. More trees please.

Love the Meteor Show Campout on the beach. Best even of my summer.

We stayed at site #51 this weekend. The site was was large and grassy, just not a lot of shade. There is nothing to separate the sites so your neighbors can see and hear everything. They have flush toilets and showers, but the bathhouses are not very big. The non-handicap stall was very, very small. Lots of places to get water if needed. The campground has a ton of hiking trails within itself and mountain bike trails too. We did buy wood at the camp store and it was horrible. I would recommend bringing your own. The fire rings were good and the camper pads were pretty level. Dogs are welcome in most sites and they do have full hookup as well. We did have a raccoon up in the tree next to us but it didn’t bother us.

Nice campground but not alot of trees
