Kiser Lake Campground

About

Kiser Lake Campground sits within the scenic 531-acre Kiser Lake State Park in west-central Ohio, approximately 34 miles north of Dayton. The campground features lakefront campsites with electric hookups, offering visitors direct access to the park's clean, clear 396-acre lake. As a no-motor lake, Kiser Lake is particularly popular among anglers, kayakers, canoeists, and sailors seeking a peaceful water experience. The campground provides modern conveniences including restrooms with flush toilets, drinking water, a dump station, and recreational facilities such as a volleyball court and children's playground. Each site includes a fire ring and picnic table. Rolling wooded hills and diverse wetlands surround the campground, creating a relaxing natural setting. The park also features a 300-foot swimming beach, marina with rentals, hiking trails, and bridle trails. Open year-round, the campground operates with reservations during the peak season and transitions to first-come, first-served basis during the off-season, typically October through April. Winter visitors can enjoy ice fishing, ice boating, sledding, and cross-country skiing when conditions permit. The park's clean facilities and quiet atmosphere make it a hidden gem for both RV campers and tent campers seeking a peaceful retreat.
