Willows Camp is a non-profit social club where members cherish camaraderie and quality time with friends and family at a private river camp overlooking the Ohio River, less than 10 miles from downtown Cincinnati.
Our club's roots trace back nearly 100 years to a group of young men from Mt. Adams who, in their early 20s, purchased a riverside property off Kellogg Avenue. The name "Willows Camp" was inspired by the native willow trees that line the Ohio Riverbank. Second-generation members established the Willows Camp Association 1968 as a non-profit corporation, and third- and fourth-generation members continue to maintain the Willows today.
The membership maintains the rustic lodge and lawn secluded by floodplain forest, offering a unique venue for club meetings, member-hosted seasonal activities and social events, and family gatherings. If you have the opportunity to experience our riverside retreat, we hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Club donations help Willows Camp cover current and future expenses, including flood damages and the upkeep of our nearly 100-year-old lodge. Donations can also be made in honor of former members or designated for specific purposes. Additionally, you may contribute non-monetary donations of weather-resistant lodge or lawn furnishings, or donate your time during spring cleanup and other efforts.
In 2024, we began consolidating, organizing, and fully digitizing the records of Willows Camp and the Willows Camp Association to preserve Willows' history for the current membership and future generations of members and visitors.
The collection materials contained within the Archives date from 1922 to present day and include everything from meeting records, property improvement project records, and member profiles to photographs and miscellaneous ephemera such as party invitation flyers. The Willows Camp Archives welcomes and appreciates donations of Willows-related digital media. Please contact willowscamp@gmail.com to share your photographs, videos, and memorable stories from time spent at Willows Camp.
