Camping is a great way to escape everyday life without having to go too far from Cincinnati. There are many campgrounds within an hour or so of the city, some of them tucked away in the woods and others situated within a larger park. One particular campground that is just 20 minutes from downtown is beautifully positioned right on a lake, feels secluded, and yet is close to activities and amenities for plenty of entertainment. It may or may not surprise you that this campground can be found in Winton Woods and it might just be the most beautiful campground in all of Cincinnati.
