10 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Burr Oak State Park Campground features one and two-bedroom cabins near the lake with basic furnishings, heat, and electricity. The cabins include kitchenettes with refrigerators and stoves, along with private bathrooms and showers. Most units provide beds with mattresses, tables, chairs, and cooking equipment for comfortable extended stays. A visitor commented, "Great cabin with a lot of room for family. Easy access to the water for a fun-filled day of boating." Hocking Hills State Park also offers cabin accommodations with similar amenities but more privacy, surrounded by dense woodland settings that provide a more secluded experience.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Burr Oak's lodging units can accommodate between 4-6 people with sleeping arrangements that typically include queen beds and bunk beds or pullout sofas. Reservations are strongly recommended, especially during summer and fall when cabins book quickly. Pet policies vary by property—some locations like Lake Hope State Park allow pets in designated cabins for an additional fee. As described in feedback on The Dyrt, "The smaller separate cabins are available. Lodge has good food with a view, and boat docks are available at the end of a trail behind the Lodge."
Most cabins include beds with mattresses but require visitors to bring their own linens, pillows, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen supplies usually include basic cookware, dishes, and utensils, though guests should verify what's provided when booking. Several campgrounds feature small camp stores with firewood, ice, and limited groceries. The Burr Oak Lodge offers dining options with lake views for those not wanting to prepare all meals in their cabin. Campgrounds with cabins generally provide outdoor fire rings and picnic tables for cooking and dining outside when weather permits.

"The go to camping location for Athens. Many campsites, trails, and amenities. Anything from boat rentals, a small store, and docks to use near the lake."
"Awesome park! There are shelters with picnic tables at one stop, and a little beach and boating dock if you keep going! Kept going even more and found an abandoned train cart!"
"Extremely private primitive camping surrounded by Wayne National Forest and steps from the Baileys Trail System. Fire pit, picnic table and handmade hammock supplied for comfort and convenience."

from $40 - $125 / night
"Great campground, close to everything you would wanna see! Bathrooms and showers are super clean and updated. Lots of stuff for kids to do!"

from $45 - $150 / night
"The porta john and shower were very clean. The shower uses an on demand water heater. The narrow cabin you see in some photos is now a gravel pad for RV type camping with electric. "

from $15 - $125 / night

"My family and I have been going to Lake Snowden for the past nine years for the Paw Paw Festival and have enjoyed staying in the sites in thw campground every year."
"We were able to camp right by the lake. The trails are great for hiking and some more intermediate mountain biking. And there are boat rentals of many different types."
TravelerSites are basically parking pads with very little useful space around them but the sites are spaced apart. Bathroom and showers are usable but no frills. Scenery is pretty. ATV play area nearby.
RangerDidn't have the best experience. Stayed a week and never even met a host. Had a late check in and the office was never open until Friday afternoon. Laundry machines were broken--not a huge deal but obviously not well maintained. Had a couple days with gunshots for about 6 hours straight. Lot 44 also a little unpleasant since you are at the entrance and will hear every single car/truck coming in and out of the campground because they get bounced by the speed bump. Loud enough to wake you up around 430AM. Location was pretty convenient to several small towns.
TravelerGreat 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.
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.
RangerThis 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!
RangerSites 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'.
ScoutVery, very nice and quiet. Very well laid out, very friendly for big rigs. Pull-thru campsites are for up to 66 ft.
TravelerGreat - close to hiking trails at Hawking Hills state park!
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.

Explore historic sites: Visit the restored Hope Furnace near Lake Hope to learn about the region's iron-producing history.

Moonville Tunnel exploration: This historic railroad tunnel, located in Zaleski State Forest near Lake Hope, offers a short hike with historical significance.
