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 park 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.*
Timberhill MetroPark
Timberhill MetroPark is a 198-acre camping facility dedicated solely to organized groups. Timberhill boasts open fields, woodlands, and several hiking trails. 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 2:00 p.m. prior to your reservation by calling the MetroParks Administrative Office Monday-Friday from 8:30 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. at (513) 867-5835.
