Are there any secluded places to camp on or near the Ohio River?
Molly D asked:
I’m going to Cincinnati next weekend, and I’d like to spend one or 2 nights camping. However, i want to camp away from other people, away from shower houses and pools and all the commercialized things that are at most Ohio camping sites. How can I find places we can camp where we will have a great view, but also won’t come across other people?

Sorry, Im not aware of anyplace you can really camp on the river on the Cincy area. Are you willing to go out towards Oxford and camp at Hueston Woods? Its only semi-commercial, and you could select an area thats a little further away from other campers to get more of the secluded feeling, anyway.
I’ve lived in Cincinnati for ages, and I would NOT reccomend camping anywhere near the river, not that it matters, as there aren’t any campgrounds around the Ohio River. There are, however, plenty of campgrouds in the Greater Cincinnati Area.
