The Castle

Welcome to **The Castle**, a highly unique and exciting lodging facility situated within the imaginative **Cub World Adventure Camp** on the extensive Dan Beard Scout Reservation in Loveland, Ohio. For Ohio groups, youth organizations, and families seeking an overnight experience that transcends traditional camping, The Castle offers a themed, medieval-inspired structure designed for comfort, group capacity, and sheer fun. Far from a simple tent site, The Castle is a large, stone-style building that functions as a structured "campsite" with distinct sleeping quarters, providing a remarkable setting for immersive weekend programs, conferences, and organized group retreats.

The Castle is a highlight of the Cub World area, which is specifically programmed for younger youth, creating an environment where imagination and adventure come to life. This imposing structure is capable of sleeping a substantial number of guests—up to **72 people** in its dedicated rooms—making it one of the largest single-structure group accommodations available for rental in the Cincinnati region. This large capacity is a significant benefit for groups like school clubs, church youth organizations, or large family reunion gatherings that require a centralized, secure, and weatherproof lodging option.

Designed with a medieval flair, The Castle features a stone exterior, complete with two large turrets that crown the front on the second story, adding to its authentic, imaginative appeal. The interior is structured efficiently to handle large groups while still offering essential comfort. The sleeping rooms are equipped with bunk beds, providing a pragmatic solution for accommodating many individuals, while the structure itself contains dedicated activity rooms and a central courtyard. The Castle embodies the Dan Beard Council's commitment to high-quality, structured outdoor education by offering a clean, safe, and engaging environment that serves as an excellent base for exploring the hundreds of acres of adjacent activities.

It is important for local Ohio users to note that while The Castle is part of a "campground" reservation, it is a permanent, building-based lodging option, not a tent site. Its unique features, substantial sleeping capacity, and the immersive theme make it a standout choice for those prioritizing structure and convenience, particularly during the shoulder seasons or when large-group logistical challenges need to be simplified. Groups utilizing The Castle gain immediate access to the surrounding activity fields and the wealth of resources that the entire Cub World Adventure Camp has to offer.
