Enjoy the comforts of home at some sites—including flush toilets, showers, and a kitchen.
Adventure Ohio, LLC At Adventure Ohio, we offer multiple camping options for you to choose from. Bring your own gear and set up at one of our riverfront primitive sites or our river-view site across the road. Enjoy beautiful river sunsets, access for paddleboarding and kayaking, fun swimming and rock jumping, campfires, and the peaceful rhythm of passing river barges. While a busy road passes through the property, most guests quickly tune out the traffic and instead become attuned to the whistle of the nearby lock, announcing the comings and goings of barges along the Ohio River. This is a family-owned property—my brother and his kids live on one end, and my mother lives on the other. Between them sits the Adventure Ohio campground, so there’s always someone around to help if you need anything. We also operate an Ohio River water guide company on-site. When available, you can rent kayaks, paddleboards, or river tubes during your stay for an additional fee. You’re also welcome to bring your own equipment. Things to Note Because this is a nature-based site, you may encounter bugs, mosquitoes, ticks, poison ivy, snakes (including the occasional copperhead), deer, raccoons, skunks, and other local wildlife. We do our best to keep poison ivy cleared from most areas and are continuously working on copperhead control as we encounter them. Please plan accordingly—bring bug spray, keep food secured from animals, and dress appropriately when walking in wooded areas to avoid poison ivy and snakes.

Riverfront Primitive Camp Site

100%
(1)
Tent site · Sleeps 4
Riverfront Site #1 is a flat semi-wooded space on the banks of the Ohio River. This site has direct riverfront view and access to the water. Beautiful sunset views, swimming, fishing and hand-powered boat launch are all available from this site. Guest will enjoy a semi-private space, but please note there may be another site booked about 35 feet up the river bank from you that will use same access point for facilities and river access. Our space operates much like a campground with shared amenities but private spaces to also have your quiet enjoyment. Guests will have access to communal water spigot for drinking and dish cleaning all a few minute walk across the road and up a slight hill, as well as a communal fire pit on the river bank with wood provided. There is no electricity or other hook ups at this site. There is ample shade and afternoon sunshine should you like to charge solar devices. You are encouraged to bring your own camp potty and shower as we have no amenities besides water. Worth noticing, if we have an event scheduled during your stay, we will launch from the river near this site. Additionally, while we want to ensure your privacy and quiet enjoyment of the river and site, our family often launches from the river near this site and swims on the rocks. You may see us while you are here, but you don't have to engage with us. We will politely say hello and likely ask if you are enjoying your stay, but won't bother you beyond that unless you want to engage with us. This site is also near a road so you will have road noise in busier parts of day and evening. To learn more about Adventure Ohio, LLC, you can check out our Facebook page or website at [xxxxxxxx]. Here you can see if we have any scheduled events during your anticipated stay.

    The site had a great view of the river and felt very comforting! Make sure you have a way to keep the bugs away though, there's a high chance of being swarmed if you're not prepared!
