Clayton Geneva Camp Ground began as a retreat for our family since the 70's. My grandparents, Donald Clayton Russell & Jewel Geneva (Davis) Russell, purchased this little piece of heaven to get away from the hustle and bustle of Cincinnati life. Judy was born in a little cabin just down the road. Judy & Don along with many family members have made cherished memories here over the years. We want to share its beauty with you and your family. 
Please consider, Clayton Geneva is a primitive campground, gravel drives and left as natural as possible. This is not a sculpted campsite or a concrete campground. The primitive area is as such, gravel, grass, sand terrain accessible by a one lane gravel drive that leads over the hill and around the cliff to the riverbank. This drive is absolutely passable however is left bumpy to keep traffic at a safe speed as pedestrians also walk the drive. It is passable by any vehicle as long as the vehicle is not overloaded beyond its ability and/or has an extremely low profile. 
Any area that is not an actual campsite is left to nature, not manicured, trimmed or sculpted. As you’ll find all the sites are clear please don’t expect micromanaging of wild growth of our native plants in areas around the sites as we reserve those areas for the wildlife to enjoy. 
Please consider all the above mentioned details, primitive campsites are not for everyone and that’s ok.

> This was perfect for some much needed time in nature! We are in a truck camper and the RV spots with full hookups were easy to find and access. We took a walk down to the riverside tent sites and common area and loved sitting by the river! Very friendly cats too! They also had a full bathroom with a shower. Thanks Amber!

> We loved our camping weekend at the Sycamore Cove site. It was quiet and private. We enjoyed the fire ring and picnic table. The nearby port a potty was clean and convenient. The host was responsive and we will definitely come back!

> This was a stopover on a longer trip and I had to book same night for playing by ear. Amber was helpful and responsive, even calling me after I’d booked to let me know of a minor adjustment and to ensure I was all set with instructions, directions, etc. I had no problems at all getting set up and connected for the night, and I even made a sweet cat friend to moon gaze for a bit before bed! My only disappointment was that apparently the cat was the owner’s and I couldn’t bring him home.

> We enjoy our 2 night stay. Everything was easy access. We really enjoyed the farm yard feeling including wild deer just a short distance from our site. If ever in that area again we will return to Clayton Geneva. Thanks for being an awesome host!
