Campsites & Cabins

Two locations within MetroParks of Butler County provide public camping facilities.

Governor Bebb MetroPark

Dry Fork Campground located at 1979 Bebb Park Lane in Okeana, OH offers individual non-electric & electric campsites, the rustic Murstein Group Cabin, and two group campsites for overnight stays by families and organized youth groups. This 264-acre preserve appeals to nature lovers, history buffs, and outdoor recreation enthusiasts. Acres of woods, meadows, fields, and streams provide ample habitat for wildlife observation and nature study while the park’s Pioneer Village provides a glimpse of earlier times in Butler County and the region.

Individual campsites are equipped with a picnic table and fire ring. All individual electric sites have a 40’ parking pad and are equipped with a 30-amp hook-up, while non-electric sites have a 25’ parking pad.

The Murstein Group Cabin is very rustic and is heated by a wood burning stove. It is equipped with electric, wooden bunks, picnic tables, a refrigerator, electric stove, outdoor grill, and fire pit but has no running water. Both of the primitive group sites are equipped with a grill, a fire ring, and two picnic tables. Restroom facilities at this park are latrine style with a composting restroom facility in the lower camping area. Reservations of both group sites and the Murstein Group Cabin include two bundles of firewood per night.* 

Rentschler Forest MetroPark

The Timberhill Reservable Area located at 5400 Timberhill Dr. in Fairfield Township is a 57-acre camping facility dedicated solely to organized youth groups. Timberhill boasts open fields, woodlands, and several hiking trails. The Timber Hill Restoration Coalition (THRC), a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization is dedicated to improving and maintaining this one-of-a-kind camping facility. The THRC works in collaboration with MetroParks of Butler County to raise funds for the enhancement and preservation of this campground. This location offers four rustic group camping sites in addition to one indoor camping facility.

The campsites at Timberhill will accommodate approximately 20, 30 or 40 campers depending upon the site reserved. Each site includes a fire ring, grill, picnic tables, an enclosed shelter with electric, and a refrigerator.

Due to invasive species firewood may NOT be brought into the park. All firewood must be purchased through MetroParks and is available for $7/bundle, approximately 9 pieces per bundle. Additional firewood can be purchased up until 2pm prior to your reservation by calling the MetroParks Administrative Office Monday-Friday from 8:30am-2:00pm at (513) 867-5835.
