★★★★★Greg BarthCamp Michaels is a jewel in the crown of the Dan Beard Council and a Northern Kentucky Gem! The largest greenspace in NKY with the Gunpowder flowing through it. There is great hiking, camping, exploring, and adventuring to be had there. I couldn't imagine my life without it.
★★★★★Melissa LeonhardtBeautiful campgrounds! You have to pass the house near the street on the right and go down a long gravel drive into the valley. Drive slowly and carefully, there are drop-offs at different spots on either side and it's narrow and cars leaving too.
★★★★★Mike BehrI love camp Michael’s. The yurts are great if you don’t want to tent camp in the winter. Our cub pack did Lad & Dad camp outs here. I liked it because it was not a long hike from your car to where you were setting up your tent. Cell Service is limited through out camp.
