The lake is the best part of camping at Caeser Creek. You can access the lake from many of the camping sites. There is a designated swimming beach for campers which is well kept and buoyed off for safety.
Hiking is a huge part of the camping experience and Caeser Creek has a tremendous amount of hiking trails. All trails are well marked and some lead to some amazing waterfalls, places to hunt for fossils, and even a swinging bridge to cross.
Packing for tent camping may sound like an impossible task. How are you supposed to know what to bring? Here is a printable tent camping checklist that will make that task easier. You may not need everything on the list. You can adjust it for your own needs.
You may make reservations for a campsite up to six months in advance. Making a reservation in advance is important because the sites fill up quickly.
“My husband and I have been camping here for years, it is one of our favorite places to stay. We come from Indiana at least once a year to stay here.” said Barbara Davis, a camper at Caeser Creek.
In 1978, the Caeser Creek valley was impounded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to aid with flood control in the Little Miami River watershed. The 4,700-acre park and adjacent 2,500-acre wildlife area were dedicated that year.
“We remember when they made the lake years ago. We used to take our children boating and swimming. The whole area is rich in history so there is plenty to do besides camping.” Davis said.
A 2,830-acre reservoir in a state park formed in 1978, now it is popular for boating, hiking, and camping. The wildlife in the area consists of deer, raccoons, foxes, snakes, many birds, and lots of fish. Let us not forget the bugs, bring bug spray.
Camping is a terrific way to get the children off their electronics and out from in front of the tv. It can give a greater appreciation for our environment and how important it is to take care of it. Camping teaches us independence from all conveniences and how to live safely outside under the stars if only for a night or two.
