KOA cabins typically feature separate sleeping areas with bunk beds that accommodate four people in the back room and a larger bed for two in the front room.

Most cabin sites require advance reservations, particularly during summer and fall weekends when availability becomes limited.

Most cabins require guests to bring their own bed linens, towels, and toiletries. Cooking facilities vary significantly between locations, with some cabins offering kitchenettes while others restrict cooking to outdoor areas due to health code regulations. Camp stores at locations like Hocking Hills State Park and Lake Hope State Park sell firewood, ice, and basic supplies. Visitors should plan to bring food and essential supplies, as grocery options can be limited in the immediate area. Cabin camping provides a comfortable middle ground between tent camping and hotel accommodations, with one visitor noting, "The cabin was fun and we were able to keep our trip simple by packing less due to the cabin."

    Tar Hollow State Park Campground

    Memorial Weekend 2020

    After being cooped up, we (3 young adults) decided to get out and decided on this campground that was new to all of us. The campground was very low key and made for an easy going weekend! We weren’t too keen on most of the parks amenities, but enjoyed just sitting around the fire the whole time. Pros: -staff was cleaning common areas (bathroom and showers) either once or twice a day -campsite 12 was incredible space and had an added bonus of a deck structure over the creek

    Other notes: -WiFi available, but only right by the main office/general store -no service for AT&T or Verizon -Fire tower not accessible -Lake tested high for a bacteria and swimming is not recommended

    Corona Virus Notes: -only Ice and Firewood available for purchase at General Store -putt putt, boat and bike rentals, and game box rentals not available -nearby Hocking Hills trails were closed

    Jackson Lake Park

    Campground with Water Park

    I stayed at this campground because they hosted a wedding I attended. I chose to stay in a cabin, which was pretty pricy for what it was. for $175, it was a basic cabin with a queen bed and 2 twin bunk-beds, a very small bathroom with a toilet and shower, and a small kitchenette with a microwave, sink, and mini-fridge. The cabin was somewhat dirty - dust on the floor and spider webs in the corner. It had no bed linens, or towels, and the bathroom didn't even have a mirror.

    There is a "lake" (more of a large pond) on the property, with fishing, and large inflatables to play on in the summer. There is also a disc golf course. The nearby town Lithopolis is cute, with some local coffee and dining, as well as antique shops.

    Lake Hope State Park Campground

    Great Location, Good Vibes, Slightly Slanted Sites

    Stayed over Labor Day Weekend and was pleasantly surprised by the site we got for booking only a week in advance! Would stay again!

    - Many sites are quite sloped and slanted, but this cannot be determined by pictures online. With that said, all sites appeared to have a spot for at least 1 tent cleared away and the picnic table and fire ring in a secure location.

    - Most sites only had room for one car parked at the site

    - Clean pit style restrooms! With running water restrooms dispersed through the campground.

    - Lake Hope was a good size for kayaking (and rentals were open and only ~$10 per person per hour for various boating devices).

    - Fishing allowed anywhere!

    - Cool hiking trails throughout to see caves, The Hope Furnace, and water features!

    - Only ~30-40min from all the must see attractions of Hocking Hills and surrounding area!

    - Camp Store with wood, ice, etc.

    Buckeye Lake-Columbus East KOA

    Kabin 7 and Kabin 11

    The KOA was what one expects of the KOA lots of features and not very secluded. The Kabins were lovely.  

    The design is nice as the bunk beds are in their own separate room. This means the back room will sleep four individuals. They also included little tables and benches so you can organize yourself in the room.  The front room has a large bed that sleeps two.  Then outside is the picnic table.  Due to health code rules you have to cook and do food outside of the cabin.  

    Our first cabin some of the light bulbs were dead and as a result they moved us to another cabin. Problem solved. 

    The bathrooms were very clean and the folks at the camp store were very helpful. I will say that my friend that took a shower was frustrated as one shower was scalding hot and the other was cold.  The floors were slippery as they didn't have a way to stop the water from going beyond the shower (no rim or lip).  She didn't get to use the Family Shower as you have to get the key from the store.  Shower time was usually before bed time with two little ones as they would get dirty playing during the day.  Since the camp store closes at 8 PM she would just use the standard shower with her kiddos. We thought this was a great feature and would have liked to get a look at the family shower set up. 

    At the camp store, they would drop off the wood via golf carts as you purchased it.  I was able to buy three bundles for $18.00 as it is cheaper that way.  I also purchased two bags of ice.

    The cabin was fun and we were able to keep our trip simple by packing less due to the cabin.  Buckeye Lake State Park is close by and if you don't have a boat they really don't have a lot to offer non-boaters unlike other lake state parks.  We didn't see any trails.  We did go to the "beach" but opted not to swim. Our time was spent at the near by Dawes Arboretum and Newark's Earthworks (mounds). 

    **Will try to come back and upload more photos and videos later as tonight many of my posts are not fully uploading.

    Forked Run State Park Campground

    Dirty pit toilets. Dirty sinks. Beautiful lake.

    This state park has a beautiful lake and a nice beach. There are boat rentals and a frisbee golf course. Overall, this part of the park is beautiful. 

    The campgrounds, however, leave a lot to be desired. The people were really nice, but the facilities were terrible. The pit toilets were filthy- covered in flies, spiderwebs and dirt. They look like they have not been hosed out since the 70's. The showers and sinks are in an old, old building- it could be fine if it were cleaned daily, but it was filthy too. I was there 3 days and the showers and sinks were never cleaned. They were pretty gross from the start, but then by Saturday night one shower housed a pile of feces. No kidding. Poop in the shower. 

    We stayed in the camper cabin, which is just a very basic shed with a bed, bunk beds, air conditioning and heat. We stayed there because it was July and I wanted A/C and electricity. The cabin smelled like mold. 

    I'd go back to this lake but will not stay in the campgrounds again.

    Paint Creek State Park Campground

    Premium sites are

    We paid extra to have a "Premium" site, which meant we got a deck. That deck held our picnic table,  but there was no room to put our camping chairs. And though we were close to the lake, you could not see it through the trees. We could barely get out of our trailer and into the driveway without falling into a ravine. The fire pit had to be put on the back side of our trailer next to the road as that was the only spot it could fit. We were told to check out other sites in case we want to come back. Ha. The staff knew no one who had ever been here would ever take this site! But... we won't need to check out other sites as we'll never come back.

    Pine Creek Cabins & Camping Resort

    Cabin stay

    We stayed in one of the small cabins and loved it! Very clean, with thoughtful amenities. Hot tub on the back porch. This cabin also comes with two horse stalls. Bridle trail access right from campground.


Guide to Creola

Cabin camping near Creola, Ohio is situated in the foothills of the Appalachian Plateau, with elevations ranging from 600-1100 feet. The region experiences distinct seasonal changes with summer temperatures averaging 85°F and winter lows frequently dipping below freezing. Fall camping season brings cooler temperatures around 50-65°F during the day, with nighttime temperatures often dropping into the 30s, requiring proper insulation in cabins.

What to Do

Kayaking on Lake Logan: Located near Campbell Cove Camping, the lake offers excellent paddling opportunities with rentals available. "Our favorite place to camp. Kayaking on the lake is amazing and hiking is abundant. Beautiful sunset view," notes one visitor to Campbell Cove.

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... Since site 106 is at the far end, you don't have anyone walking by your campsite to and from the parking lot," explains a camper at Tar Hollow State Park Campground, where hiking routes offer varying difficulty levels.

Wildlife observation: Many cabins provide opportunities to spot local wildlife. "The naturalists feed hummingbirds at the nature center. They pull the feeders for awhile leading up to a 'Feed the Hummingbirds' program. So cool! The birds come right to you!" shares one visitor about Lake Hope State Park.

What Campers Like

Proximity to trails: Cabin campers appreciate locations with direct trail access. "We have never stayed at a KOA before and were very happy with this campground... This campground was also located close (within a few miles) to all the main hiking trails, and about 12 miles from Logan," reports a guest at Hocking Hills KOA Holiday.

Lake activities: Water features rank high among cabin campers' preferences. "Lake Hope gave me a new way to experience an area I grew very close to and appreciate but cannot stand the swarms of people. It was a great quiet and spacious campground with solid amenities and it's own nearby sites," explains a visitor to Lake Hope State Park Campground.

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. They also put on a very long firework show that night which was awesome!" shares a camper at Top O' The Caves Campground.

What You Should Know

Cell service limitations: Signal strength varies significantly across the region. "There is no cell service. Enjoy the outdoors! You are off the grid!" notes a camper at Tar Hollow State Park, highlighting both the limitation and potential benefit.

Cabin location considerations: Some cabins offer more privacy than others. "The tent site was decently secluded and near a nice small pond... The RV site was rather small without much personal space," explains a visitor at Top O' The Caves Campground.

Seasonal weather challenges: Weather conditions can change rapidly, especially during transitional seasons. "Watch out for the FOG on the lake at night! It gets so bad you can't see past the end of your boat!" warns a Lake Hope State Park visitor about conditions that affect evening activities.

Tips for Camping with Families

Water activities for kids: Several locations offer child-friendly water features. "There is a great playground for kids and a swimming hole. The bathrooms are so clean. You can kayak on the lake and they do have rentals," recommends a visitor to Campbell Cove Camping.

Organized activities: Seek cabins near campgrounds with scheduled programs. "The rangers and naturalists have many activities going on and are very knowledgeable," shares a visitor to Hocking Hills State Park Campground.

Recreation facilities: Many cabin areas include additional entertainment options. "It has mini golf, a pool, park and small game room which is awesome for camping with kids. It offers rustic cabins for those that dont tent camp or have a rv," notes a visitor about Top O' The Caves, highlighting amenities beyond just the cabin accommodations.

Tips from RVers

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.

Site selection: RVers recommend researching site details before booking. "Sites are mostly small and tight on hilly terrain. 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.
