Best Campgrounds near Rockbridge, OH

670 Reviews

Camping options around Rockbridge, Ohio include established campgrounds with varied amenities and accommodations. Hocking Hills State Park Campground serves as a hub for outdoor recreation with tent sites, RV hookups, and cabin options just 15 miles south of Rockbridge. Other notable facilities include Campbell Cove Camping in Logan and Big Sycamore Family Campground, which both offer electric hookups and shower facilities. Most campgrounds in the region provide fire rings, picnic tables, and potable water, while some feature full hookups for RVs.

Seasonal operations impact availability throughout the area, with most campgrounds operating from April through October. According to one visitor, "Close to shopping nearby (Walmart and Kroger), about 10 miles from the caves and trails." Many campgrounds require reservations, especially during summer weekends and fall color season when Hocking Hills attracts substantial crowds. Most sites have cellular coverage, though reception may vary in the more remote sections of the Hocking Hills region. Developed campgrounds typically feature shower facilities and flush toilets, while more primitive options along the Hocking River may only offer vault toilets or portable facilities.

The riverfront camping experiences receive particular attention in camper reviews. Several developed campgrounds provide sites directly along the Hocking River, offering water access and scenery. A recent review noted, "We had a great time. River right next to us and port a potty near. Allows dogs." While riverside sites are popular, they occasionally experience flooding issues after heavy rainfall. Campgrounds like Hocking Hills KOA Holiday and Top O' The Caves offer more amenities including cabin rentals, glamping options, and organized activities. New ownership at some properties has led to renovations and improvements. For those seeking rustic experiences, primitive camping areas along the river provide more seclusion but with fewer facilities, making them suitable for experienced campers comfortable with basic conditions.

    Baileys Trail Tent Camping

    Peaceful Stay

    Wonderful little location. We drove for about 3 hours to get from where we are. Nice wide open space surrounded by woods. There were other campers but very friendly and had plenty of space to ourselves. Very nice bathroom/shower compared to what we expected. Will visit again.

    Campbell Cove Camping

    Nice campground

    We stayed at site 63 , on the water. Big site, water view and plenty of space. The road across the lake has an uphill section and people like to race up it. Trucks, motorcycles and cars. Really loud. I know the campground doesn’t control the road, so it’s just a note about the noise. The site is amazing, and I would come back.

    A.W. Marion State Park Campground

    Horrible

    Really disgusted with out last stay here. We ended up next to some tent campers who were homeless which isn't the issue because things in life happen it was the way they acted that just grossed me out. I spent the first few days listening to them arguing and fighting amongst each other about their welfare checks being spent on their cigarettes beer and weed. They had 2 kids one that was autistic that they called a retard the other one they called stupid and it was just heartbreaking. I ended up having to go inside my camper and turning my ac on to escape their screaming and yelling and fighting that went into the midnight hour. My dog has a heart murmur and it made him anxious. I felt like I was camping in the bottoms of Columbus Ohio. The camp host said they are there all the time which is disturbing that they condone this behavior and makes me question the integrity of this location. Luckily after contacting ODNR we were able to move to a location far from them and given a gift card for our troubles. This was after they moved their camp stuff practically across the front bumper of my 100,000 RV. My husband and I pay way to much for our RV and for our stays to put up with this trash. We'd be hard pressed to come back here and be exposed to this kind of drama again.

    Dillon State Park Campground

    Campground is quiet

    My partner and I have been here for 3 days , were staying for a week. So far everyone has been friendly or keeps to themselves. The bathrooms and showers are clean and the deer are plentiful and beautiful

    Zaleski State Forest

    Nice get away

    Trails are nice and kept well, campsites are clean and well maintained. at each backpacking camp (3 in total) there is water and a toilet (nothing to wipe with) water is definitely well water tastes meh better off bringing a filter just in case. I will say there is some noise pollution from cars and planes near campsite 1. We ended up meeting our guide kitty friend at camp 1- most likely dumped which sucks but very friendly. tried bringing him home but he didn’t follow us. Besides Kitty and 2 other groups i saw no one else was here which was nice especially during a holiday weekend. NO SERVICE PLAN ACCORDING make sure you have a map especially to get out of the park!!!! PS if someone sees kitty please say hi :)

    Palmerosa Horse & Hike Campground

    Palmerosa Campground updated

    The new owners of the Palmerosa Campground have put a lot of time and money into this campground! Almost everything has been tore down and rebuilt. The new shower house at the office is great! You have your own shower , toilet and vanity in a locked room! 

    The old horse stalls have been torn down and 28 new covered stalls have been built! They are amazing and plenty if room for larger horses. 

    They have 14 water and electric sites with plenty of shade trees. 30 primitive tent sites also with plenty of shade!!

    This campground is a true hidden oasis! It won’t be long before other campers discover this peace on earth place!!

    Lake Hope State Park Campground

    Small undeveloped sites

    Camp sites are very small and very unlevel, had to raise back of camper and put front about a 1/4" off grond to get close to level. Site around is sloped in all directions. No internet or phone service so great to disconnect. Friendly staff. Bathhouse had good pressure and hot water in mens bathhouse 1 but womens had low pressure, bath house 2 had low to no pressure at times, but we're very clean and nice. Bathrooms were also clean and nice. Would rate higher with more level useable area.
