About

Caesar Creek Lake is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers facility in southwest Ohio, centrally located between Dayton, Cincinnati, and Columbus. The lake offers five reservable group shelters ideal for reunions, parties, and gatherings. Each shelter features 20-amp electric hookups, indoor picnic tables, and shares access to playground equipment. Parking accommodates up to 50 vehicles per shelter. The shelters are situated near the Caesar Creek Visitor Center, which provides a 24-hour heated and cooled restroom facility, exhibits about the lake, and a courtesy dock for shoreline fishing or kayak launching. Visitors can also access the Adena Trace fitness trail with 9 workout stations and over 50 miles of hiking, mountain biking, and bridle trails. Note: This is a day-use facility. No overnight camping is permitted without a Special Use Permit from the Visitor Center. For traditional overnight camping, Caesar Creek State Park Campground (managed separately by Ohio DNR) offers 283 campsites with electric hookups.
