Natural Springs Resort

98 RV Sites

Natural Springs Resort in New Paris, Ohio, offers 68 RV sites across 46 acres around a 12-acre spring-fed lake, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 72 feet. Full-hookup and water-and-electric back-in categories at both amperages join a water park, splash pad, beach, and boat ramp — with scuba diving on the lake. Sixty-eight back-in sites span 30-amp, 50-amp, water-and-electric 30-amp, and water-and-electric categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted, sized to 72 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Confirm your tier before booking, as the water-and-electric categories do not carry sewer at the site. Seventy-two feet is generous for the region. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. A water park and splash pad anchor the summer, with an outdoor pool alongside. The spring-fed lake is the property's centerpiece, with a beach, boat ramp, paddle boats, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, fishing, and scuba diving — the clarity of spring-fed water makes diving viable here in a way it simply is not on most Midwestern lakes. Basketball, volleyball, biking, golf cart rentals, and a playground fill the rest. Pets are welcome. New Paris sits in Preble County's western Ohio countryside, a few miles from the Indiana border and within comfortable driving range of Richmond, Dayton, Cincinnati, and Columbus. Summer is decisively the season. Reserve well ahead for June through August weekends.

An emergency phone sits in the camp store hallway by the restrooms. Check-in is 3pm and check-out 11am; all guests must stop at the camp store before going to their site. A pond with a beach anchors the on-site recreation, with swimming, fishing, and a jumping pillow for families. Sports courts, basketball, walking trails, hiking, biking, and picnicking fill the grounds, with a community fire pit for evenings, on-site dining, and planned activities through the season. The dark rural sky makes for good stargazing, and the property also serves as a wedding venue. Pets are welcome. Greenville sits in the upper Great Miami River valley, with Annie Oakley heritage sites, Fort Jefferson, and Fort Recovery all within day-trip range. Summer is peak — reserve ahead for weekends at a 17-site property.
