      Rocky Fork State Park Campground

      Been coming here since I was a kid.

      Always great time here. The upper part has more wooden areas then the lower part. But those spot are close to the lake. They a great playground. They have a big camp store with a putt putt, big lake we’re boating, fishing and kayaking. Multiple shower houses very clean kept up. Nice campground to ride bikes around.

      Tar Hollow State Park Campground

      Super Relaxing and Peaceful

      We used Site 53, which is a pull thru. The site was spacious and level. The fire pit location is across a tiny stream; we enjoyed a campfire in the woods! There were no loud folks. The loudest thing we heard was the occasional bark of a dog (which we didn't mind).

      The restrooms were new and extremely clean. The staff at the camp store was friendly.

      There are plenty of places and opportunities to enjoy Pine Lake: you can sit on a bench or rent a canoe.

      We'd love to return to Tar Hollow when the fall foliage is beautiful.

      Campbell Cove RV Resort & Campground

      Pine trees, lake, and great spots!

      This campground is located near major roads and within a quick trip to Hocking Hills State Park. Tents spots are located near the lake and provide pine tree shaded cover. Bathrooms are private and very clean!

      Best camping store

      Nice park, when we were there only half park was open( early in season). Great camp store. Nice shower rooms. Hilly. Some stop around us was sloped. But we did love the one with a deck, but your fire ring was down a hill.

      Tar Hollow State Park Campground

      Our favorite one!

      It’s just beautiful there. Great for bikes. Good camp store, putt putt, bike rentals, camper beach. Easy access to fishing. And there a playground surrounded by a little stream of water that is so cool. New bathrooms are spectacular. Also has family showers.

    What to do

    Lake activities: Pine Lake at Pike Lake State Park offers cabin visitors water recreation within walking distance. "There is a small lake with a beach. You can kayak, but it's really small. Lots of trails to hike and the camp store was open," reports Shannon G. Fishing, paddle boats, and a sandy beach area provide options for water-based activities.

    Canoe trips: Waters Edge Canoe Livery offers creek access for paddling directly from their cabin area. "Very fun place to camp and enjoy the creek on a kayak or canoe. Very friendly staff, and one of my favorite places to go," mentions Jonathan W.

    What campers like

    Quieter environment: Sun Valley Campground cabins provide a peaceful setting away from busier areas. "Peaceful nice place, pets okay. I'd recommend it," states Johnothan R., while another visitor adds, "Nice and spacious. This is near the highway and made a great place to stop for an overnight while traveling."

    Wooded surroundings: Cabin rentals at Walnut Creek Campground and Resort feature natural settings with trees and creek access. A visitor notes, "Friendly family owned campground with nice quiet environment. Nice scenic drive to campground only 7 miles off of Hwy 35."

    What you should know

    Reservation requirements: Most cabin facilities require advance booking, especially during peak seasons from May through September. Weekends often fill months in advance.

    Rain considerations: Lake Hill Campground cabins on hillsides may have access issues during heavy rain. As one visitor noted, "The cabins based on current information from their website some of them are not being rented due to the massive amount of rains we have had in recent times."

    Amenities vary significantly: Top O' The Caves Campground cabins range from basic to more equipped units. "It offers rustic cabins for those that dont tent camp or have a rv. There's a small pond for fishing and a church from the 1800s and all together a beautiful place to walk around," explains Kelli W.

    Limited cell service: Multiple sites have restricted connectivity. At Long's Retreat Family Resort, a camper mentioned, "No cell service at all which is good and bad." Plan accordingly by downloading maps or information before arrival.

    Tips for camping with families

    Cabin selection for kids: Choose cabin locations strategically based on proximity to playgrounds and facilities. At Pike Lake State Park, one camper advises, "Right across the site is the playground. It's a little noisy but if you have kids, it works."

    Activity options: Hocking Hills State Park Campground cabins provide access to family-friendly hiking. "Such an amazing campground with amazing things to do. Just going and seeing and playing under the waterfall is fun. They have days of fun things to do here," says Elisha B.

    Pack for seasonal conditions: During summer months (June-August), temperatures regularly reach 85-90°F with high humidity. Spring and fall camping (April-May and September-October) require layered clothing as overnight temperatures can drop significantly from daytime highs.

    Kitchen supplies: Most cabins include basic refrigeration but limited cooking equipment. Bring pots, pans, utensils, dish soap, and paper products.

    Tips from RVers

    Site sizing: Cabin sites at most campgrounds accommodate one vehicle comfortably. Additional parking is typically available in designated areas nearby, not at the cabin itself.

    Accessibility considerations: Some cabin locations require walking to reach facilities. At Tar Hollow's North Ridge area, "You cannot park your car directly at your campsite. There is a parking lot at the bottom of the campground hill. You have to carry your items to your campsite," explains Sydney.

    Electrical capacity: Most cabins offer limited outlets. Bring power strips if using multiple devices, and check amperage limitations before arrival.
