Nick R.

Would highly recommend for a one night or weekend stay. Newer ownership so some small tweaks will go a long way in making this an even better than it already is. Need more Marks! Great bartender. Bottle neck at check in, food and drink was solid. Don't compare this to Disney but let it scratch your Disney Campground itch. We will be back!

We got TOAD :-).

Everything has improved this year. Great food and service. Thanks everybody, especially Jeff, Bob and Jeanie. See you again in August! Bob and Kathy Henry

Cabanas for rent - An outdoor cabana with beige curtains and a large umbrella provides shaded seating with lounge chairs, a small table, and a TV. The area is paved with bricks and is adjacent to a fenced playground with slides and a grassy field. The setup appears to be part of a recreational area with amenities for relaxation and entertainment.

This is a great campground! They are not specifically affiliated with Kings Island anymore, but have a shuttle that can take you and pick you up which was convenient. Great paved sites. Very little shade on the RV sites though, so bring your own shade. They have a family pool and adult pool. Pools are great, and you can rent Cabanas for the day (they even have mini fridges and TVs in the cabanas). Staff was really nice. They have an activity center where the kids can do crafts and check out games. Two bars on site for pool drinks and an ice cream place. Cute little cabins and rental campers available. Will definitely stay again.

We had read reviews about site spacing being quite small. We stayed on the back row in the 200's. These don't have site spacing issues, and although close, you have plenty of room to back in. Value is hard to define here. We paid $750(ish) total for 3 nights and 2 days of theme park admission. The campground - even on a weekend during summer - was maybe at 60% capacity. Pools, food, and bars were open and the facilities were in great shape. With that said, our site was pretty gross. There was a ton of dead grass and dog poop on our site. The site's aren't cleaned between campers and this is evident. We loved Kings Island but Soak City isn't large enough to handle the crowds. They should either limit capacity or come up with some other solution for that specific part of the park. Pro's: 1) Great amenities for the entire family including an adult only pool, bar, food, and kids activities. 2) A shuttle that runs every 10-15 minutes from CG to Kings Island. 3) Good location just outside Cincinnati. 4) Trash receptacles located every several sites making it easy to take the trash out. 5) Concrete pad's and good utilities. 6) Lightning fast TMobile (didn't even need Starlink) Con's: 1) Actual site cleanliness was terrible. 2) Interior sites have narrow roads and spots. Try and stay in the 200's. 3) Expensive nightly stay's (at around $120+ before ticket prices) We'd stay here again if visiting King's island.

Lobby - The image shows a spacious lounge area with polished wooden floors and high ceilings with exposed wooden beams. The walls are decorated with small windows and a large decorative panel. The seating includes plaid armchairs and leather sofas arranged around a small table, with a wall-mounted TV on one side. The space is well-lit with natural light and chandeliers, creating a cozy yet open atmosphere.

This review is for the new camp cedar. It's really a hard place to review since it's still new they are still ironing out some kinks. Positives: the staff is exceptional, the food is decent, golf carts are a blast, the outdoor areas were clean and well maintained, the cabins were cute and fun, kings island shuttle was convenient. Negatives: the WiFi is junk, the cabin we stayed in wasn't properly cleaned (our socks were dirty from the floor on day 1), the "loft" area in cabins are hot and not safe for you g kids, the bathroom by the pool wasn't being maintained and the floor was always slick and filthy and the kids pool is pretty small. All that aside it was a memorable staycation for us. We will be back and I have faith as time goes by little things will be improved.

See all

I LOVE VISITING KINGS ISLAND!!…read more This was another great visit to Kings Island with the family. This place just keeps delivering. The kids area is extensive and incredibly well done, with rides and attractions that work for a wide range of ages. It's clear they've thought about the adults too: plenty of shade and comfortable spots to wait while the kids burn off all that energy, which makes a huge difference on a long day (or a short day, you know!) One of my favorite traditions is lunch in the Festhaus. Being able to cool off, catch a show, and enjoy LaRosa's pizza is always a win. The pizza itself is great (as always), though I'll admit the pizza/breadstick combo is a little odd. The breadsticks are pretty doughy and don't have much flavor. Not terrible, just not the highlight. The true star, though, is the blue ice cream in the kids area. It's pure nostalgia, genuinely delicious, and the long line proves I'm not alone in thinking that. Even better, the line moves fast, so it's never a dealbreaker. Pizza and blue ice cream are a must for me every single visit--no exceptions. Kings Island continues to be a place we look forward to coming back to. Great for families, thoughtfully designed, and full of those little traditions that keep pulling you back year after year.

The lines were double the app estimates! The eateries were hilariously unprepared w/ lines out the door. Half the employees the need working only half the counter open at the BBQ place being used. 20 mins to get food. Then you go over to check out & there's 4 registers open but only 1 at a time is ever occupied since only 1 order comes out every 30 secs. So 3 workers are staring at phones! So poorly organized. Our Mac & cheese was so cold we couldn't eat it so had to go back & request another which had a 5 mins wait for another batch. Ice was piled up on every drink dispenser to laughable levels & again there's still 3 check out girls "picking their nose" just 3' away. We left early b/c it was pretty awful.

Mystic Timbers - Yelp isn't letting me post a review right now so let's see if it works for this Winterfest pic of Mystic Timbers

Mystic Timbers

(8 reviews)

The Twelve Days of Yelpmas Day Twelve…read more I didn't get enough coastering in down in Florida so on the spur of the moment I decided to drive down to Kings Island Winterfest. I knew there would be three coasters running and expected Mystic Timbers to be the star of the show. It took awhile to get on, as it was sitting idle after several test trains right after rope drop so I decided to knock out The Racer and Flight of Fear first. Then when I got back to Mystic Timbers it went down shortly after I got in line. So it was back to the supporting cast. Third time was a charm, though. I ended up barreling through the woods five times on Mystic Timbers. It hauls pretty well through the cold air but wasn't quite as marathonable as I expected. Don't get me wrong - MT is a blast but as far as Great Coasters International rides go I was hoping for a little more White Lightning airtime and a little less Renegade intense laterals. That's just my taste for elements and the quick side to side motions were probably exacerbated by the fact I was a single rider going crashing into a stranger every time Mystic Timbers did a sideways whip. MT is definitely smooth enough for a wood coaster but it kinda doesn't matter when the turns are that hard. Still fun, I rode it 5 times but eventually I found myself desiring another ride on The Racer which I didn't think was gonna happen. The ride ops were on point. Much better than the laggards down at Busch Gardens Tampa. And the theming is cool but I can take or leave it. I like the cheesy 80s music appearing to play from a cassette on a vintage boombox better than the video screen in the shed. At least it's something for the dead time on the brake run. I recommend Mystic Timbers even if it wasn't quite the masterpiece I was hoping for.

For today's review, we have Mystic Timbers at Kings Island. Now, on paper, you look at this ride…read moreand are like "Oh, typical GCI, nothing special." WRONG, WRONG WRONG WRONG. This is one of the best wooden coasters EVER!!!! I'm serious, this ride is so freaking awesome, it's in my top 10 overall coasters! So yeah, we're in for a TREAT with this ride! :) First we sit down, get our seatbelts on and lapbars down and th.... oh, the train dispatched before I could finish my sentence! Yeah that's typical, Kings Island ops are amazing! Anyways, we have some small dips and turns before heading up the lift hill. We are told by some speakers to turn around and to go home back to our video games. But since we're f*cking stupid, we don't! We then hit the drop and into a big left turn, so far this isn't anything special. But don't worry, the real madness begins now! We then drop off and have a SHARP moment of ejector air. Yeah, I preached about how Prowler and Thundehread have airtime better than some RMCs, yeah, Mystic has that as well. We then hit two back to back bunny hops which provide AMAZING ejector air. We then hit a s bend that hits us with some good laterals with EVEN MORE AIRTIME! Along with another curved hill. Yeah, you get the idea. This ride has a lot of amazing airtime with laterals thrown in. Prowler has this as well, but Mystic adds the insanity that Thunderhead provides, making this the overall stronger ride. We then turn into a tunnel that provides some exceptional laterals followed by more airtime. And you do NOT slow down. You are just FLYING through this layout. After some more strong airtime and laterals, we hit one last double up into the brake run. And then.... THE SHED!!!! Yeah, this ride has a mini dark ride section, SWEET! So we enter the shed and we hear some music play (if only it was Justin Bieber or Misha, THEN it would be scary). After the train ahead of us leaves the station, the lights start flickering and we move forward. And a screen shows us a TREE MONSTER who attacks us, and then back in the station. So yeah, that's Mystic Timbers. Sure, the Shed scene isn't that great, but I do appreciate the fact that it exists. It still adds on to the ride and makes Mystic Timbers stand out even more. And on top of that, THE RIDE IS FREAKING AWESOME! This is seriously if you took Outlaw Run, Thunderhead, and Prowler, and combined them all into one coaster you get Mystic Timbers. This is easily my favorite GCI (Sorry Thunderhead) and my 2nd favorite wooden coaster (Only Behind Voyage). So I obviously recommend riding Mystic Timbers. It's the best ride at Kings Island and one of the best coasters ever made! Final Score: 100/100 Opened: 2017 Built by: Great Coasters International Last Ridden: August 9th 2025

Blood-suckers in the belfry…read more {{ begin roller coaster history lesson }} This Arrow suspended coaster has been around since 1993, yet it's gone by three different names during that time. When it debuted, this swinging coaster was called Top Gun, after the Tom Cruise movie of the same name. The station was heavily themed to look like an aircraft carrier (fun fact: Kings Island enlisted the production designer from the actual film--John DeCuir--to create the station and queue area for this ride). You'd be able to hear Kenny Loggins 'Danger Zone', 'Mighty Wings' from Cheap Trick, or the signature riffs from the iconic theme song by Harold Faltermeyer & Steve Stevens........until 2008. When Paramount gave way to Cedar Fair, all Top Gun-related crap went straight out the F-18 window and the ride was re-named "Flight Deck", retaining the concept of taking off from a military aircraft carrier but dropping the copyrighted stuff (including the killer soundtrack played in the queue line). This name stuck for 6 seasons until Kings Island decided to re-theme the coaster once again, this time as a throwback/homage to a suspended prototype coaster that existed back in the 80's, also called The Bat. {{ end lesson }} The ride experience itself is pretty enjoyable. The Bat remains 1 of 5 coasters on the planet where the carriage hangs freely below the track, which allows the cars to swing up to 90° in either direction as they navigate turns. It's got some decent speed (51mph), and the spaghetti-like twists of orange track and dark grey supports makes for a striking visual. Not overly extreme, but definitely not tame. Of course it all depends on where you sit.....to me, it felt like the front row gave more laterals (side to side G-forces) and an overall better ride. However, The Bat's biggest drawback is the absolutely insane amount of walking it takes to get from the ride's entrance to the station platform. No repetitive back-and-forth queues here, just a single never-ending line that stretches deep into a sequestered corner of Kings Island. When crowds are light, it could easily take you 7+ minutes of continuous walking thru the forest terrain before you reach the station. Exercise sucks. While similar to Vortex at sister Cedar Fair park Canada's Wonderland, The Bat offers slightly milder thrills, a shorter drop and lesser top speed. It's still a fun coaster credit, although the ride's general atmosphere has been greatly hampered ever since the Top Gun theme crashed and burned (pun fully intended). And that overly-lengthy queue is about the most inconvenient thing ever, no joke. § front row or back row § : front row is the way to go on this one!
