Best RV Parks & Resorts near Glouster, OH

Burr Oak State Park Campground provides year-round RV sites with water and electric hookups in Glouster, accommodating big rigs with full service connections including sewer at select sites. The park features spacious pull-through spots, picnic tables, and fire rings at each site. Lakeview RV Park in Lancaster offers water, electric, and sewer hookups with boat access and showers approximately 25 miles southwest of Glouster. Hocking River RV Park in Logan operates seasonally from April through October with 30-amp electric service, though big rig access may be limited. "Pull through spots require a little bit of maneuvering with big rig (43' fifth wheel). There was some mud where camper wheels were situated in the spot," noted one visitor.

Many RV sites throughout the region require leveling equipment as pads can be sloped. A recent review warned, "sites were level in one or two directions. No water in any sites, need to fill up water tanks before or at the gate." Dump stations are available at Burr Oak and several other parks in the area. Cell service varies significantly, with stronger reception at lower elevations and spotty coverage in hillier terrain. Most campgrounds accommodate pets and provide trash service, though some restrict fires during dry periods. During summer and fall weekends, advance reservations are essential as parks fill quickly. Winter camping options remain available at Burr Oak State Park and some privately operated facilities, though with reduced amenities when water systems are winterized.

    Hocking River RV Park

    Scenic, easy in/out and on the river

    Stayed here 4 nights, pull through spots require a little bit of maneuvering with big rig (43’ fifth wheel). There was some mud where camper wheels were situated in the spot (needs material). Fire rings are not near RV but behind across the road on the river. Bath house is just ok - not great, not gross. Close proximity to lots of hiking but Hocking Hills itself has become so crowded… don’t come if you want to get away from people.

    Hocking Hills KOA Holiday

    Great first time KOA experience

    We have never stayed at a KOA before and were very happy with this campground. The staff were friendly and professional, the sites were clean, and there were a wide variety of sites to choose from. From primitive tent sites tucked back in the woods to large RV sites with water/sewer/electric/cable hookups. We are first-time owners of a 29 ft Fifth Wheel and got a pull-through site. It offered little in the way of privacy, which was the only negative about the whole experience. Our site included a fire ring and a picnic table, along with all the hook ups. The night we arrived we were too tired to cook so ordered a pizza from the front office and they delivered it to our site. They also deliver wood directly to you. They escort you directly to your site so you don't get lost or go down a one-way road the wrong way. There was a nice little pool, but it wasn't open for the season yet. The shower houses were immaculate. The front office includes a little gift shop, ice cream, and pizza. This campground was also located close (within a few miles) to all the main hiking trails,and about 12 miles from Logan. 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. This was only our second time out in our fifth wheel camper so it was a little scary, but we just drove slow and our truck handled it just fine. We will definitely be back to this wonderful campground as we love Hocking Hills.

    Hocking Hills State Park Campground

    Great Ohio State Park Campground

    Amazing trails walkable right from the campground. Old mans cave, upper & lower falls. Bathroom was clean. Showers were ok. My site 108 was not deep, but was wide. Great for my 5X9 travel trailer, but probably not good for a big rig. Shaded & right near the shower house was a plus.

    Big Sycamore Family Campground

    Great small family campground

    We enjoyed our 3 night stay here! Some sites are full hook up, some sites are electric and water, and some are primitive. The dump station is easily accessible if you need it. 5 acres with everything we could need. The owners were amazing. Very friendly and helpful! They had only owned the campground for 2 weeks and were in the process of making several improvements. The shower house and bathrooms were clean and adequate. There is a small playground for kids. It is pet friendly. There is a nice sized pool for summer (we camped in October so it was closed for the season). Located within a short drive (about 10 miles/15 minutes) from everything Hocking Hills has to offer. There is even a restaurant close by that will deliver to your campsite. Kroger and Walmart are within 5-7 minutes driving for supplies. The only downside is that it is close to a highway so at night you can hear the traffic. This didn’t bother us so much but might be a problem for some.

    Burr Oak Cove Campground

    Nice little campsite

    Cool little campground. First come first served with no reservations accepted. The sites are clean with picnic tables and fire rings and can accommodate small RVs. There are a couple of vault style outhouses, dump stations and a couple of water stations as well. No electric or water hookups, though. Came on a Thursday and there were only two sites occupied so it was nice and quiet even though there is a bit of road noise from the nearby roads. There’s also an easy 1 mile trail down to Burr Cove proper. The sites are $15 ($10 in the off season when the water is turned off) and you pay at an honor box at the entrance once you pick your spot.

    Carthage Gap

    A real slice of American camping

    This is a fantastic camp ground, the owners Chris and Teresa are fantastic people and the grounds are just majestic. Sitting above two fishing lakes, one you can swim in during the summer the campground is peaceful and tranquil and next to some amazing woodland.

    The camping ground caters all campers and rv’s and has full sewer hook up and water. Wash houses with showers, toilets and washing machine and dryer is available. You can have firewood delivered daily, you propane refilled and Chris and Teresa are always there to help you. this is on top of the events pavilion where something is always on. A basket ball court and two playgrounds make this ideal for family’s. On season event calendar includes archery clinics and annual hog roast and more.

    the grounds are 30 minutes away from the Wayne national forest and Athens and parkersburg. The beautiful Marietta and hocking valley hills sit an hour away. Simply breathtaking


Guide to Glouster

RV campgrounds near Glouster, Ohio offer varied terrain with sites positioned along riverbanks and lakeshores. The region features elevations ranging from 650 to 1,000 feet, creating distinct camping experiences between valley floors and ridgetops. Most campgrounds remain open from April through October, with limited wintertime operations requiring campers to bring additional insulation during cold weather months.

What to do

River activities nearby: The Hocking River provides recreation opportunities for campers. At Riversedge Campground, guests can arrange river excursions with staff assistance. "If you decide to rent a kayak they will even drop you off upstream to start your trip," notes Ken P. The campground recently acquired "62 acres for hiking across the road," adding land-based activities.

Fishing opportunities: Waterfront sites often provide direct fishing access. At Ashland RV Park, campers can fish from the Muskingum River shoreline. "It's right on the river so we made a stop at camp while on a paddling trip," reports Jackie D., highlighting the convenience for anglers who can combine paddling with fishing.

Town exploration: Several campgrounds position visitors within short drives of small towns with shopping and dining. Stockport offers a quiet setting for campers seeking local interaction. One visitor to Stockport RV Park noted, "George and Dwight are awesome people, a pleasure doing business," indicating the friendly local connections available to campers.

What campers like

Riverside tent sites: Waterfront camping spots remain highly rated by visitors seeking direct water access. "Our tent was right on the river and Kelli was the best host ever! On our last day she brought us warm cinnamon rolls and coffee," shared Eric S. about his Riversedge Campground experience, where guests can enjoy morning riverside views.

Budget-friendly options: The region offers economical camping, particularly for travelers seeking overnight stops. "Did I mention we're right on the Ohio River with full hookup for $25 a night?! Full hookup alone is worth more than 25 bucks," reports a visitor to Harris RV Park, noting the cash/check-only payment policy.

Swimming features: Beyond river access, some campgrounds provide designated swimming areas. At Lakeview RV Park, Robin R. appreciated the "Nice level site we were on. Small swimming lake! Canoe rental and jet pack 'skiing'" available to campers seeking water recreation beyond fishing.

What you should know

Highway proximity impacts: Some campgrounds sit near major roadways, creating noise concerns. At Hocking River RV Park, one camper observed, "Right on the river, which is interesting, but it's also right alongside State Route 33, so you hear freeway traffic constantly. Trucks and motorcycles woke me up all night."

Shower facilities vary: Bathroom conditions fluctuate between campgrounds and seasons. "The shower house is up on top of this steep hill, so you'll need a flashlight to get there in the dark," advises one Hocking River visitor, while another notes, "Showers have this weird slimy grate on the floor- bring flip flops."

River access challenges: Despite riverfront locations, accessing water can present difficulties. "Figured we'd bring some swim suits since it's on the river but there really wasn't any way to the river as the bank was about 5 feet up," reports Bryatt S., highlighting terrain challenges at waterfront sites.

Tips for camping with families

Activity planning required: Limited on-site recreational facilities may necessitate off-site activities. "No playground which made camping with kids very uneventful for them," notes a Hocking River RV Park visitor, suggesting families should research nearby attractions before arrival.

Space considerations: Site proximity can impact family comfort levels. One camper observed, "When crowded, you will be right on top of groups less than 12 feet to the right and left of you," recommending mid-week visits for families seeking more space.

Water recreation planning: While water activities appeal to families, preparation remains essential. "It's not bad if your just going to park there and go other places. Fishing is ok but the banks of the river are high," reports Joseph E., suggesting families bring appropriate gear for steep riverbank navigation.

Tips from RVers

Leveling requirements: RV sites throughout the region often require stabilizing equipment. "There was some mud where camper wheels were situated in the spot (needs material)," notes Tamara W. from her experience with a 43-foot fifth wheel, suggesting bringing extra leveling blocks.

Hookup strategies: Water access points sometimes require pre-planning. "The water is after you pull in so you have to pull in fill up and go back around to your spot," explains one RVer, recommending arriving with partially filled tanks to simplify setup.

Site selection considerations: For optimal comfort, RVers should request specific site information when booking. "Easy in/out," notes Bucky W. about his pull-through site at Lakeview RV Park, while others mention that corner sites typically offer more privacy and space for larger rigs.
