Ohio’s Kings Island is best known for its roller coasters and blue ice cream, but soon it will double-down on being a vacation destination.
The theme park’s new resort and RV campground, Kings Island Camp Cedar, is scheduled to open in the spring of 2021, the park owner and resort manager, Cedar Fair, announced on Tuesday. The theme park and resort are located about a half-hour north of Cincinnati.
Camp Cedar’s amenities will include multiple pools, including some with family play features and an adult-exclusive pool with poolside service. There will also be ponds, walking trails, fire pits, grills and picnic tables.

It will also include a grand lodge with an indoor/outdoor restaurant and bar, shopping, a gym and a huge fireplace. There will also be an outdoor cantina offering casual to-go American, Mexican and Italian dining.
