A visitor to Delaware State Park noted, "The campground also has yurts for rent (May through October) that are furnished with beds, table and chairs, a cooler, ceiling fan, outdoor charcoal grill and a picnic table with canopy."

Visitors should plan to bring their own bedding, pillows, and towels as these are rarely provided in cabin rentals. Kitchen facilities vary significantly - some cabins feature only outdoor fire rings with cooking grates, while others include microwaves and mini-refrigerators. Due to health code regulations, many cabins require all food preparation to be done outside. Camp stores at locations like Buckeye Lake KOA and Hocking Hills State Park sell essential items including firewood, ice, and basic groceries. Larger grocery stores are located in nearby towns like Delaware, Canal Winchester, and Buckeye Lake.
