Burr Oak State Park Campground
Great view of the sky for stargazing and telescopes at the sites in 40s. Trails are a little neglected though; lots of downed trees and faded blazes. Maybe it’s late in the season, and they will improve in the spring.

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.
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!
Sites are small - especially the ones with power. Bathrooms are dirty and very worn out. Only 1 of 3 of the mens showers were working. Lots of spiders in the bathrooms and the stall doors don't latch effectively. Camp store (and access to ice) was closed for 'remodel'.
Great - close to hiking trails at Hawking Hills state park!
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.
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.
Good family camping ground. Most sites are wooded, kids fishing pond. Good playground. Nice shower rooms. Free putt putt and good camp store.
Not our favorite. Very small campground. Good hiking trails. Decent beach. Very hilly. Shower house was kinda gross.

Explore hiking trail networks: The region contains over 30 miles of interconnected trails. "We were on site 106, which is at the far end of the campground...

Wildlife observation: Many cabins provide opportunities to spot local wildlife. "The naturalists feed hummingbirds at the nature center.

Lake activities: Water features rank high among cabin campers' preferences.

Evening entertainment options: Some cabin campgrounds offer nighttime activities. "The campground put on a free BBQ for all of the guests one of the nights! It was very good and well thought out.

Road conditions: Access roads to some cabin areas require careful navigation. "The little road going up to the campground is VERY bumpy. It's not the campground road, it belongs to the Township, so its completely out of their ability to make improvements," warns a Hocking Hills KOA Holiday visitor.

That said, I would still recommend this as a nice weekend getaway," notes a Lake Hope State Park visitor, highlighting the importance of understanding site limitations before arrival.
