The Winton Woods Park Rangers are among the rudest officers I've ever met. I was treated disrespectfully for being in the park after dark about 20 minutes after sunset in my vehicle. That was all I had done wrong. Instead of just asking me to leave I was treated like a hostile. He asked to search my car and I let him. He wasted an hour of my time and the whole ordeal was really embarrassing. I told him he wouldn't find anything and when he didn't I had a big smile on my face because he was so authoritative. I was in the wrong however I didn't deserve to be treated that way. I was also told that he never wanted to see me in the park again. He abused his authority by telling me I couldn't come back because I can but I will not. I will never give any of my money to this park ever again. read more

Winton woods is a great park. So many things to do. The lake is beautiful wih several walking trails. There is a nice paved one for biking or walking strollers along with several nature trails to explore. I like taking my daughter to the splash park named parkys ark. I suggest getting there early before it starts to get crowded. 11 is when it starts. There is a slide, a arch for kids to run under along with several spouts from the ground. Some parts are coated with a rubbery soft ground. A refreshment area close by for a cool drink or snack. read more

This was a very nice camp ground but at $49 a night I would expect that. It was very clean, quiet family oriented camp ground. That being said I feel one should not have to pay for a day pass if one is camping in the park. I was not happy about that. When we entered we stopped by the booth. There was no mention of this day pass thing and $5 a day for that. Thus the true cost to camp was $54 a night. NOT REALLY WORTH IT. We will probably not be going back. read more

This is a awesome educational farm and park for the kids. Free petting zoo. $3.00 parking, lake, fishing, camping! It is alot of fun

What a gem in Hamilton County! So much open space for running, playing walking, boating, and anything else you could want to do outdoors! As part of the Hamilton County Park System, a $5 pass will get you free parking for a year in this park and all the other ones in the County too! read more

Terrible business. They have very poor customer service and ridiculous "policy" of no refunds even when they are not busy. Might as well have mugged me in the street. Thieves! read more

Number 2 on my "Top 5" parks list has to be one of the most beautiful places in Ohio. Lots for the kids to do and, once again, enormous. So, access your Parks booklet and plan ahead. read more

This review is meant just for Winton Woods Campground and not the entire park. If you're into camping, live in Cincy but don't have time to go too far away, this park is awesome. EXTREMELY clean!!! Sites are big. Campground is pretty small and nice for strolling around. They offer full hook ups, which is amazing! There is plenty to do the area but I wish the campground its self, offered more scheduled activities for kids. If they had more scheduled activities, a 5th star would def. be in place! read more

Nice campground that is beautifully maintained, good size spots. Only complaint is the water set up. Showers have no temperature control and get extremely hot. Only the women's handicapped shower has the ability to turn the show off-the rest are automatic shut off. Awesome walking trails. read more

Spent last week at Winton Woods Campground. Park offers a lot of greenery, fishing, and kayaking opportunity. Not much for bike paths, though what they have is great. The campground struggled to provide adequate power to the RVs in our section. We reported the brown-outs twice to the office. They said they would send somebody to investigate. They were a "No Show." The net effect was a lot of generators being run, which created unnecessary noise and fumes. Would have rated another star or two based on the condition of the park was it not for the "I don't care about the electric problems" attitude from the office. Brown-outs can ruin TVs, microwaves, and other electronics, so the issue should not be ignored. read more

This is a review of the Winton Woods campground. Pros: 1. Large spacious campsites 2. Every site has electricity 3. Many sites have lake view 4. Nice playground 5. Clean bathhouse facility 6. Boat rentals within walking distance 7. Beach swimming nearby Cons: 1. Staff not very knowledgeable or service minded 2. Several people had issues with their key card working at the gate 3. Some loud camping parties Comments: I take an annual camping trip somewhere with each grandchild. I found this campground to be a great for the reasons listed above. This is the first experience I have had with a "gated" campground. You had to have a key card to enter the campground. It creates an environment where there is supposedly no additional traffic coming through. However, it can lead to a false sense of security. I was told of a registered camper giving his key to a non-registered guest to enter through the gate rather than park in the guest parking. My comment regarding the staff not being very knowledgeable was in regards to me asking questions about boat rental and the beach at check-in. He informed me it is all part of the park but two separate businesses and brushed me off. When you are talking to people vacationing from out of the area despite the fact the beach and boathouse were not operated by the same business one would expect to get some general information or have brochures handy from the other businesses. In my past experiences campgrounds generally are very happy to promote nearby attractions, as that may be the very thing that draws in their next camping clientele. (I would have attributed it to a lazy employee except that I had two other occasions where I sought either information or had a question and got a similar cold response from different employees. They really left me feeling like "go away I don't want to talk to anyone.") On check-in I was given my gate key, a map of the campground, directions to our campsite, and handed a bag being told it was for our recyclables. During our stay I sorted our trash and put the recyclables in the bag we had been given. Our final day I went into the office to inquire where/what was I to do with the bag of recyclables. The staff response, "I don't know." There was a note attached to the bag telling what could and could not go into the bag but no instruction as to what to do with it when you were checking out. In my opinion that is unacceptable customer service attitude. If this individual truly did not know he should have offered to find out and KNOW the answer. If they are promoting this and distributing the bags they better know where they are to be collected when campers leave. I spoke to a neighboring camper who told me to leave the bag by the campsite post and maintenance would come by to pick it up. I do not know if this was correct or not but sounded logical. If it is the procedure it could easily be put on the attached instructions and the staff should be able to inform people of that simple instruction rather than give a duh, "I don't know" response. My eight-year-old grandson had a great time and loved this campground. We spent time on the hiking trails, rented a paddleboat, and rented a canoe. We enjoyed a lot of nature seeing ducks, geese, blue heron and turtles. Good memories were made here. Would I stay here again? Yes! read more

You can do anything and everything here. It's beautiful, cheap, and they even offer horseback rides. It's great.

This review is limited strictly to the farm portion, Parkey's Farm. Tried to plan a dream birthday outing for a little girl but the staff, ESPECIALLY the manager was AWFUL. She needed to know the weights of all of riders for a horse riding party, which I understand to match up the appropriate horses but when she found out the a member of our group was over 200 pounds said "our animals cannot accommodate large overweight riders." Now I know horses pull carriages that often carry 2-3 people so are horses really not capable of carrying a 200 pound rider? If so, does one have to be so rude about it. Nothing like trying to plan a child's birthday party and then winding up in tears because you are too fat to ride a horse. read more

I paid $140 for a childs party, which was supposed to include time with animals and such. I paid extra for the 'mass' parking permit, and people where charged anyway. They kids saw two animals, and I was led to believe there would be more. When I complained after the party, I was told in no uncertain terms, "tough," and that was it. NEVER again will I pay for a party here. EVER. read more
