Hocking River RV Park

8 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Kayakers and canoeists paddling the Hocking River will find this small private campground sitting directly on the water's edge in Logan, Ohio, though getting a boat in from the bank is harder than it looks. The riverbank runs steep and muddy, making launch attempts risky even with lightweight watercraft. Canoe and kayak rentals are available at Hocking Hills Canoe Livery nearby, which gives paddlers a more practical way onto the water. Fishing from the bank is possible, though multiple reviewers note the high banks limit access to the river's edge.

Noise is a significant factor to weigh before booking. The campground sits alongside State Route 33, meaning highway traffic, including trucks and motorcycles, is audible throughout the night. A rail line runs along the opposite bank roughly 200 yards away, adding train noise at irregular hours. Sites are also closely spaced, with some reviewers describing neighboring tents within a few feet during busy weekends. Fire rings are positioned across the drive from the RV hookups, which one reviewer called "super inconvenient," and the bathhouse sits atop a steep hill that requires a flashlight after dark.

Electric hookups, drinking water, a dump station, picnic tables, and showers are all on-site. The campground runs from April through October, with rates ranging from $15 to $40 per night. Reservations are available and worth making on fall weekends, when the surrounding Hocking Hills area draws heavy visitation. Campers planning to explore Campbell Cove Camping or other campgrounds near Logan should note this park functions best as a base for day trips rather than an activity-rich destination on its own. Bring flip-flops for the shower house.

Many campers appreciated the scenic riverside location and basic amenities like electric hookups. However, significant concerns about road/train noise, cramped sites, and lack of family activities were common complaints.

Just Ok

It’s an ok campground, if your taking kids there is nothing at the campground to do. Fishing is ok but the banks of the river are high. Also the water is after you pull in so you have to pull in fill up and go back around to your spot.

It’s not bad if your just going to park there and go other places.

Scenic, easy in/out and on the river

Stayed here 4 nights, pull through spots require a little bit of maneuvering with big rig (43’ fifth wheel). There was some mud where camper wheels were situated in the spot (needs material). Fire rings are not near RV but behind across the road on the river. Bath house is just ok - not great, not gross. Close proximity to lots of hiking but Hocking Hills itself has become so crowded… don’t come if you want to get away from people.

Meh

Stayed for two nights. Power went out the second but that wasn’t their fault as a storm knocked a tree down. This campground really didn’t have much going for it. You get a electrical hookup and that’s about it besides a picnic table. The fire ring is across the drive which makes it super inconvenient. Figured we’d bring some swim suits since it’s on the river but there really wasn’t any way to the river as the bank was about 5 feet up. The bath house was nice though. No playground which made camping with kids very uneventful for them. You’re right off the highway though but a good drive to any of the attractions. We wouldn’t stay here again.

Great location

Not many sites. Sites 26 and 27 are real small and private. Big enough for a pop up.

Water filling and black water dump. Electric. Close to river.

Right on the river!!!

This small and cost effective campground is so awesome! The river is small and is perfect to have a fire right next to. We also just went up the highway a little to a rafting rental place called murrys landing to raft down the river. It is one of my favorite places to camp!!

On the river AND the freeway

Right on the river, which is interesting, but it's also right alongside State Route 33, so you hear freeway traffic constantly. Trucks and motorcycles woke me up all night, AND there is a train track right across the river (about 200 yards away), so be prepared for trains coming through any time of the night or day.

It has flush toilets, which worked fine Friday and Saturday, but all of the women's toilets were clogged by Sunday morning, and the shower house needs to be hosed down- covered in dead bugs. Showers have this weird slimy grate on the floor- bring flip flops. The shower house is up on top of this steep hill, so you'll need a flashlight to get there in the dark.

The sites are very close together- one family moved in late at night practically on top of me- their tent was literally 4 feet from my picnic table. I could hear every word they said (or yelled) all night long. I moved down one site for a little peace and quiet, but be prepared- when crowded, you will be right on top of groups less than 12 feet to the right and left of you.

It's nice that the sites are right on the Hocking river, and there is constant traffic of canoes and kayaks going past. I thought this was fun. There is no way to put your own boat in here, though. The campground is on a very steep, muddy embankment and even putting in a lightweight kayak is very difficult (I tried and succeeded, but hurt my knee and fell into the water because of the mud- I wouldn't try this again).

All in all, I had a decent weekend, but I wouldn't stay here again because of the freeway noise and the way the sites are so close together.

Frequently Asked Questions

What amenities and facilities are available at Hocking River RV Park?

Hocking River RV Park offers electrical hookups for RVs but no full hookups. The campground provides clean shower and restroom facilities with a bathhouse. There's a water filling station and a black water dump available for campers. Each site comes with a picnic table, and fire rings are located across the drive near the river's edge. The campground is relatively basic in terms of amenities, focusing on providing essential services rather than extensive recreational facilities.

What do reviews say about Hocking River RV Park?

Hocking River RV Park receives mixed feedback about the camping experience. The location directly on the Hocking River is frequently praised as beautiful and peaceful. The shower houses and campsite cleanliness are generally considered good. However, noise from nearby State Route 33 and a train track across the river can be disruptive, especially at night. The campground is described as small, cost-effective, and simple. Some visitors mention the inconvenient placement of fire rings across the drive from RV sites, and the limited recreational options for children within the campground itself.

Is there a map of Hocking River RV Park and how is it laid out?

While no official map is specifically mentioned, Hocking River RV Park has a simple layout with a limited number of sites. The campground features both pull-through spots and smaller, more private sites (like sites 26 and 27, which are suitable for pop-ups). Fire rings are positioned across the drive from the RV sites, alongside the river. The water filling station is located at the entrance, requiring campers to fill up before proceeding to their sites. Pull-through spots may require some maneuvering for larger rigs such as 43-foot fifth wheels. For the most current map information, contact the campground directly.

Are there photos available of Hocking River RV Park?

Photos of Hocking River RV Park are available online through various camping platforms and review sites. These images typically showcase the riverside setting, which is the campground's most distinctive feature.
