Camping
Warblers, rabbits, and bass...
…Oh, MY!
No lions, tigers, and bears around here. Just many other – friendlier – varieties of wildlife that will be your roommates when you camp in Greene County. Our beautiful woods and prairies, streams and rivers are your living room where you – oh, Adventurous One – can go off-grid. Head out with family for night or with friends for the weekend.
With access to our bike trails, you can go from home to camp and back again without starting a single engine. The Miami Valley Bike Trails offer the touring cyclist and the “overnighter” many opportunities for primitive camping. Caesar Ford Campground has Class A full-hookup sites, but camp sites at our other five locations are primitive (no electricity or running water) and are located along the trail or within a short distance of the trail corridor.
There is a limit of one family household per campsite, and a predetermined maximum occupancy level for each campsite (never more than 10).
- All camping is primitive in nature except for Caesar Ford Campground which is the ONLY location where recreational campers are permitted. See Caesar Ford Campground Policies.
- Tents only permitted, and recreational campers are prohibited at the following locations: Jacoby Road Canoe Launch, Narrows Reserve, Constitution Park, Mill Bridge Launch, Old Town Reserve.
- All permit holders must be 18 years or older.
- No permits can be issued for more than three consecutive days and shall not exceed six days per 30-day period within the park system.
