Caesar Creek Flea Market

We come here from time to time. It’s cheap (only $ 1 for parking) and pretty entertaining. There is a variety of things like collectables, treats, décor, and even puppies. My husband likes to look at the hunting stuff. There is even a tattoo studio there. I don’t think I’ll be getting a tattoo from a flea market though. That’s kinda strange to me.
The best part is probably the people watching. Flea markets attract an interesting crowd.
I would avoid the food here though. We tried a burger and Philly cheese steak sandwich and they were both very cheap tasting. Next time we will get food before our trip here. They are also a bit slow. That’s okay though. We don’t come here for the food.

This is a place worth checking out from time to time. If you are a collector of something there’s probably a vendor here for you. They also have farmer’s selling produce. I found a nice vendor (Farmer Bill’s Produce and Honey) selling really great jams and bread made from his farm. Otherwise, it is almost entirely junk you don’t need, but it’s still fun to stop by and peruse.
The set up is long line of vendors just at the entrance running the length of the property, a pretty large outdoor area on one far side, and a very large indoor labyrinth that contain the more permanent vendors. It costs $ 1 to park, and if you stay long enough to build up an appetite, there’s several fast food type restaurants to choose from.

This thing is HUGE so I was expecting to find something at least remotely interesting, but alas, it was not so. It is pretty much all new cheaply made junk, slightly old junk (but not old enough to be cool just old enough to be obsolete) or handmade things. Nothing really worth buying. No cool antiques or vintage. I did go off season, so mabye it’s better in summer? Probably unlikely because the indoor vendors seem permanent. Not worth the $ 1 to park. If you are looking for cheap junk, tshirts or newly made bead jewelry then this is for you but if you want antiques, just save yourself the $ 1 and skip this.

I would agree the best flea market out of all in the area. Awesome surplus store and my husband loves the tattoo and piercing supply booth. $ 1 parking. ATM available in the food court area. Great place to go and walk around.

I was pretty disappointed. It was cheap to park/​enter. Only $ 1 per car. I didn’t see much I was interested in, I thought there was too much «new stuff» for sale and not nearly enough older things. There is plenty around to eat, and I loved that there were a billion bathrooms. I preferred the flea market in Springfield, but then again, they aren’t open all year either. Something to note though, if you’re already here, make sure to stop at the Amish Store across the street. They have super yummy cheese and whoppie pies!

Out of all the flea markets in the area, this one is definitely tops. I challenge you to find something you CAN’T buy! There’s normally a small farmers market going on in the back corner of the parking lot by the highway, there’s plenty of vendors outside with little things, you wouldn’t even need to step inside!
But the choice of shops is very diverse and the food stalls remind me of good fair food, but slightly better. You can grab a bag of candy in a few places as you stroll through and find anything from new electronics to nice old antiques. There’s a lot of useful items/​booths here. Not so much of the hodgepodge junk you’d find elsewhere.

I like the smell of fresh pork rinds. I admit it. But I’ve never bought any.
I also am always tempted, but never buy: boxes of pop-​pop snappers for $ 1, wind spinners made from coca-​cola cans, and cheap perfume.
I went here a lot growing up, it was a break from the usual garage-​sale routine. We had names for the stands we frequented, like the sock-​lady, the cereal-​man, and the tool-​guy.
If you want to save a dollar, you can get in free with the coupon found in the newspaper classifieds. woo-​hoo!

This was well worth a quick stop off on the drive between Cincinnati and Columbus on a saturday afternoon. The dollar per car entrance fee was well worth it! I found a great vintage book on Western railroad, and my wife found some vintage costume jewelry that she lovveeessss.
We had a couple of fairly awkward moments– the dancing, begging monkey dressed up in full costume on a day with 90+ heat made us sad and the yokel who loudly proclaimed that the «Coloreds Served Around Back» sign was «just great» made both us and the vendor cringe. Also, no one had tents out, so everything was super, super hot.
And– if you want celebrity porn tapes in this part of southern ohio– come and get it here! Oh– and you can buy guns! rifles! tables of ‘em! presumably no background check/​waiting period here! how awesome is that! Just buy ‘em! Wow!
