Welcome to Dirk and Lori's Riverside Acres
This is our home — our pride and joy — and we are so excited to share it with you. We've opened our backyard to give you an authentic, primitive, natural outdoor camping experience right along the river. In return, we ask that you respect our land, our river, and our family.
We welcome you to enjoy the tranquility of our peaceful, wooded 5-acre retreat along the Little Miami State and National Scenic River. Located in Warren County, “Ohio’s largest playground,” just 3 miles upriver from the quaint river town of Morrow, Ohio, and 2 minutes from the Little Miami Scenic Bike Trail.
We offer secluded natural primitive camping, the way nature intended it to be. Fall asleep to the sounds of river rapids and hooting owls, then wake up refreshed and rejuvenated under century-old sycamore trees. Our spacious campsites give you access to your private river frontage and our 5 acres of wooded trails for campers to explore. Our property offers the perfect blend of tranquil waterside camping and forest adventure, while maintaining easy access to local amenities.
Our Camping Mission: is to connect our guests with the river and nature in a respectful, sustainable way.
“Enjoy the wildlife, don’t become it.” We’re not a party destination, but rather a sanctuary for nature and for campers who appreciate the quiet beauty of a riverside camping experience.
What We Offer
- Four primitive camping sites on the banks of the Little Miami River and coming soon 2 primitive camping cabins
- 5 of our 11 acres of peaceful woods with walking trails to explore
- Each site accommodates up 6-8 guests, 2 leashed dogs, and 3 vehicles
- Portapotty facilities on-site
- Quiet, generator-free environment for authentic outdoor experiences
- Prime location for fishing, tubing, swimming, and river activities
- Just minutes from Lebanon and Morrow

Primitive camping with trails, and a creek. Located at the end of E John’s St. In Blanchester Ohio. Very peaceful, and beautiful. Close to downtown restaurants and shopping, but feels like you are out in the wilderness. You must bring your own camp toilet, this is very primitive. It is not uncommon to see natural wildlife such as deer, squirrel, and raccoon. Fishing is permitted (largest one caught was 6”). Responsible fire welcome, firewood can be purchased on site. Several hiking trails on site.
