I knew we were going to have a beautiful evening camping at Winton Woods as soon as I left the visitor center and noticed these beauties in the parking lot.

The park is absolutely beautiful.

Our schedule has been pretty full but we wanted to squeeze in camping for a night before football practices started.

This was our first time camping at Winton Woods which is part of the Great Parks of Hamilton County.

Winton Woods park has a 123-site campground, 156-acre lake, two golf courses, a fully functional farm, a horseback riding center, an outdoor educational camp, and 6 miles of trails.

The check-in area at the campground also has a store and snack bar. The staff were very helpful by providing brochures with park activities and guiding us to where our campsite was located on the map.

Guests staying at the campground are also given gate keys that are similar to hotel keys.  The extra security was a nice surprise.

I don’t recommend only using playroom foam tiles to sleep on, but if you do, you will know what the moon looks like at 3 am.

The campground also has areas that are great for fishing.
