RangerAlways 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.
GuideWe 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.
ScoutClean, well thought out and maintained. Level, full hook ups nearly new. This is s family campground that treats you like family and is doing everything possible to make you want to come back again. Forty sites, plus few cabins, first row ten cabins ohio riverfront. All sites level, gravel and easy for big rig/fifth wheel/Travel trailer. Even Adirondack chairs each site sitting high on the riverfront sites—thoughtful. Topped off with a bald eagle perched 25 yards in front or our site this morning. How much more peaceful can this get….
TravelerThe team at this campground was incredible. From check in to check out they were considerate and caring. It was our first trip in our camper and the team made it feel like we were there so many times. Would 10/10 recommend

RangerAlways a family favorite. Smaller sites on upper area. Nice big area for big rv on lower level and by the lake. Nice shower rooms. Camp store. Nice playground and putt putt.
RangerNice 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.
RangerIt’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.
Cabin camping near Cynthiana, Ohio offers options within a 30-mile radius across several state parks and private campgrounds. The region sits within the Appalachian foothills with elevations ranging from 700-1,100 feet, creating rolling landscapes with small lakes and streams. Winter temperatures can drop below freezing from November through March, making seasonal availability an important consideration for cabin rentals.
Hiking at Hocking Hills: Multiple trails showcase unique geological formations with varying difficulty levels. "The hocking hills park itself is awesome. Great trails, beautiful waterfalls, wonderous caves. They are all pretty short hikes and easy access. We enjoyed it with our large breed dog and toddler," notes one visitor to Hocking Hills State Park Campground.
Disc golf course: Paint Creek features a complete 18-hole course suitable for beginners and intermediate players. "An excellent disc golf course, hiking and beautiful lake views. Just past the town of Bainbridge, Ohio is Seip Mound to explore and hike the trails," explains a winter camper at Paint Creek State Park Campground.
Water activities: Multiple lakes offer fishing, paddling and swimming from May through September. "The lake is smaller, but nice beach area and pedal boats are fun. We hiked the Greenbriar and CCC Trails. They are not too challenging but beautiful," writes a visitor who stayed in a cabin at Pike Lake.
Privacy options: Some locations offer secluded sites away from crowds. "This campground has some features that are nicer than what is found in many state campgrounds. There are some secluded sites back in the woods, so you don't feel like you are camping in a parking lot in a few places," explains a visitor to Shawnee State Park Campground.
Year-round options: Not all parks close during winter months. "A winter camping gem! Heated bathroom with showers are available for winter campers at Paint Creek State Park," states a reviewer who appreciates off-season availability.
Cell service breaks: Some locations provide intentional disconnection from technology. "Love no cell reception! Quiet clean and staff (owner) is always pleasant and helpful," mentions a visitor at Long's Retreat Family Resort, highlighting the digital detox aspect.
Water drainage issues: Heavy rain can affect camping conditions at some locations. "It rained quite a bit and many of the sites got flooded. The ground here doesn't drain well," warns a camper about Pike Lake.
Bathroom facilities vary: Quality and availability differ significantly between parks. "The shower house was very clean, the crew was around regularly to empty trash and clean. The hot water in the shower house left something to be desired (took forever, lasted about a minute and a half)," notes a visitor to Rocky Fork State Park Campground.
Cabin accessibility: Some locations require significant walking to reach accommodations. "NOTE that most of these secluded sites are up a flight of stairs. You have to carry all your gear up a hill or stairs to set up. You will not be near your car, which can get annoying," explains a Shawnee visitor about certain cabin and tent sites.
Playground proximity: Select sites based on recreation needs. "Site 57 - this site backs up to the ravine and is nice and large. It has a lot of shade and grass. We were able to run a line between trees for a dog run. Great neighbors on both sides but right across the site is the playground," advises a family at Cowan Lake State Park Campground.
Entertainment options: Some parks offer structured activities for children. "They have organized activities on the lake and through the nature center. You can also do your own thing," mentions a long-time Cowan Lake visitor.
Kid-friendly hiking: Look for shorter trails with interesting features. "The kids can either swim up at the lake (with multiple water slides and a huge floating dock with diving board), the little kids can have fun in the splash pad right at the beach, go carts, rock wall climbing, basketball, arcade and so much more," reports a regular family visitor to Long's Retreat.
Site dimensions: Check specific length limitations before booking. "We were told that the site we'd been assigned was room enough for 52'. Our RV is only 34' so that would be more than enough. We got there and it was maybe 20-24" in length, with no wiggle room because one end was the park road/driveway, the other end a hill," cautions an RVer at Shawnee State Park.
Full hookup availability: Options vary significantly between parks. "Full service hookups used. Rain and water made area a bit mushy in places. Had great experiences with managers and other tenants," notes a visitor to Sun Valley Campground.
Leveling requirements: Some sites require significant adjustments. "Spacious park. Well maintained. Paved sites, most of them fairly level. Well stocked camp store," explains a visitor to Paint Creek, noting the importance of checking site conditions.
