Take a lazy jaunt down the Little Miami River this weekend at John Bryan State Park. If canoeing’s your game, John Bryan is the place to be. You’ll understand why the Little Miami is renowned for canoers as you follow its meandering twists and turns for miles. As you paddle, you’ll discover steep cliffs, aged-old sycamores, and historical sites along the way. And anglers shouldn’t forget to bring their pole! The Little Miami River is the perfect place to catch panfish and bass. But if you prefer dry land, hit up one of John Bryan State Park’s 11 hiking trails to experience the beauty under the trees. Then spend all evening recounting the day’s tales around the campfire. Perfection.

I enjoyed my stay at the Outpost. Such a quiet country seeing. The parking area is nice and level. It's nice to relax among the shade trees in the hammock. I was going to drop a line into the pond but it started raining.

This site served well for an overnight stay on my way through the area. It was easy to set up and the 30amp service worked without any issues. I did not need to add any water to my freshwater tank, so I didn’t look for a hose connection.

This RV site was exactly what we were looking for. Super easy to find and located in a peaceful, quiet spot. The fire pit was great and we loved hanging out by the pond and listening to the birds (and farmers in the background). Allen was nice - checked in on us to make sure everything was good, but also gave us our space to enjoy his place. The listing is truthful with its "picnic table present . . . use with caution". We were glad to have a tablecloth and seat covers for the picnic table but it was sturdier than expected. We had a great time and will be back to the Outpost again, I'm sure.

Weekend Trip to Country Outpost RV Site

My wife and I stayed at the outpost this weekend. It was an easy drive up state routes and county roads. We arrived at the location and immediately knew how to park. We used the two lane, untraveled road in front of the outpost to easily back our 25 foot RV into place. There was room to spare with the RV and my 19 ft F150 still hooked up. You could get a 45footer on the gravel lot. It was very quiet. We enjoyed our stayed and even did a little fishing. We caught 2 MASSIVE bluegills and a few small bass right from our chairs. There is a 30 amp service, but no water or sewer ( we dumped at Camper's Inn in TippCity/Troy, Ohio). We would definitely visit again. We met the owner - He was very cordial and you can tell he loves his property! A++

I loved staying at Rustic Reteat! The property is beautiful and Ro wet was a generous host. I don't do the traditional tent camping but I stead have decked out my car for camping with a hatchback tent. Robert had a space for me to pull my car into and stay for the week. Since it was the "off season" I happened to be the only camper here, so it was very quiet. It was also provided an extension cord to be able to hook up my electric and stay comfortably during the last of the winter weather. I highly recommend staying here. The airstreams that are available to stay in look beautiful and are situated to give privacy for any camper.

Allen’s beautiful land was nestled between fields on all sides. He was very welcoming and let me know what to expect during my stay, i.e. paths, fire ring, parking, etc. It was very tranquil and quiet with little traffic on this country road in Ohio’s quintessential farmland.
