Boasting clear blue waters and steep ravines, put on that toga friend, because you'll feel like Roman royalty at Caesar Creek State Park. Practice old-school hunting techniques at the archery range, or snag your dinner like the ancients did with those fishing tricks up your sleeves. With swimming opportunities galore, a 1,300-ft public beach provides the perfect milieu to bronze that sculpted body. Hike, bike, or horseback ride one of several trails, where you can study the region's limestone and shales leftover from a dried up sea millions of years ago. Modern amenities sneak their way in as well, where you can motorboat the 2,830 acre lake with gusto. Hail Caesar Creek State Park!

Situated around a tranquil lake and verdant tree outcroppings and grasslands, we have a feeling you'll feel right at home at Sycamore State Park. This 3,000-acre park runs the gamut of recreation, from multiple hiking trails to expansive fishing and hunting activities. Stock up on largemouth bass and bluegills for a communal feast with the entire campground, or bring your Ohio hunting license to catch some squirrel or white-tailed deer. If you're ready to get your boat on, kayaks, canoes, and rowboats are all welcome on the lake's peaceful waters. Come winter, activities like snowmobiling, ice skating, and ice fishing keep this area wildly alive.

Load up that car and never look back. Located only 25 miles from Cincinnati, East Fork State Park brandishes the badge as one of Ohio's largest state parks. Find yourself in marshy grasslands, swamp forests, rocky cascades or brambly hills, this location boasts a wide variety of natural beauty at your disposal. Rev up your unlimited horsepower boat to explore more than 2,000 acres of the William H. Harsha Lake, or angle for a hybrid striper or largemouth bass. A 1,200-ft beach means you can sprawl out that towel as much as you like. Navigate the trails by horse, bike, or foot, and we have a feeling you'll get a thrill out of the steep hills and switchbacks along the way.

Weekend Trip to Stargazer Glamping Campsite
Pretty easy to find. Not on a main road. Not too far from it. Locked gated entry. Surrounded by trees and a creek. Beautiful property. Lots of wildflowers. I took a nap in the hammock when I arrived and unpacked. More than one seating area. Big fire pit. Huge, Beautifully decorated tent. Pretty much everything you would need. Eating and cooking utensils. Towels. I didnt get to use the pretty outdoor shower it was just too cold. Got down to 48. Site says heated but they didnt have a stove set up yet. Other than hearing the family playing across the creek there are no cons. I had a nice peaceful evening. I very much enjoyed my quiet time here at stargazer. Thank you 😊

One of my favorite Hipcamp sites yet. The bathroom is so cute and such a game changer for camping. We were also able to catch a lot of fish in the pond. Would totally recommend and would love to come back.

Lisa and Dennis were incredible hosts who take exceptional care of their land and visitors. Our family of 4+pup enjoyed 2 nights camping, wine tasting, fishing, and much more. The privacy of our stay was paramount and this site more than satisfied our needs. We have been home for 5 hours and already miss this place and are planning our next trip. Do yourself a favor and book a stay at this beautiful property!! The selections of wine are amazing and unique! Dennis was an incredible wealth of knowledge and took great care of us during the wine tasting as well as every other part of our stay!

Lisa and Dennis were such wonderful hosts! This was our first camping trip with our toddler and we couldn’t have found a better spot for our first outing with him! We loved fishing in the pond and enjoyed the fire pits. One of the most special things were the fairy lanterns that came on around the property after the sun went down. The bathroom was a top-notch amenity, too! Lisa and Dennis gave us a wonderful tour of their property and we enjoyed meeting all their animals (dogs, cats and Cajun the potbelly pig). We would absolutely come back again!

The best camping near Hamilton with horseback riding guide
Where to go
Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park
Only a 5-minute drive from the city center, Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park delivers 300 acres of awe-inspiring art to explore. Stop by a traditional 1820s pioneer house, the iconic outdoor sculpture collection, and a museum gallery showcasing both ancient and contemporary works. Campers can walk or drive (personal vehicle or an art cart golf cart) the 1.75-mile loop through the highly accessible park. Although there’s no camping within, nearby rustic cabins, tent campsites, and RV sites with parking pads can be found.
Brookville Lake
Home to Mounds State Recreation Area, Brookville Lake is just across the border in Indiana, a 40-minute drive from Hamilton. It’s recognized worldwide for producing 450 million-year-old Ordovician fossils set over 11,000 acres with 25 miles of hiking trails and 10 preserved earthworks created by prehistoric First Nations. Admission is free, though camping reservations are required. Nearby tent campsites and full-service RV parks with dump stations and electrical hookups can also be found, while two beaches, paddleboard rentals, a shooting range, archery ranges, and fishing keep campers busy.
East Fork State Park
Book a pet-friendly cabin and bring the dog to East Fork State Park (just keep them on-leash and off the beach). It’s an hour drive from Hamilton, but state park camping is available for the closest access to its amenities. Take a speed boat to Harsha Lake, where unlimited horsepower is allowed, and spend the day swimming or fishing before heading back to the campground. Enjoy hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, or backcountry camping (a permit must be purchased from the Administration Office). Reserve campsites online to snag the best spot.
When to go
The heat peaks in Hamilton in July and August, making water temperatures desirable for swimming. Things cool off toward the end of September, so accommodation pricing is slightly cheaper as the peak season ends. Winter temperatures hit below freezing in January and February, but snow is common starting in November. The driest months are August, November, and February, with the rainiest months in spring (March through May), so if traveling during this time, break out the umbrellas and raincoats.
