Best Cabin Camping near Granville, OH

641 Reviews

Cabin accommodations near Granville provide several options for visitors seeking sheltered camping experiences. Lazy River at Granville offers cabin rentals with electricity, beds, and protection from the elements while maintaining a camping atmosphere. The Buckeye Lake-Columbus East KOA features cabins with bunk beds in separate rooms for privacy and organization. "The little cabins you can rent out are awesome! They have bunk beds in them and are just enough to have shelter to sleep in and then spend the day outside," noted one visitor. Most cabins include basic furniture but vary significantly in amenities, with some offering air conditioning while others provide only fans and electricity.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. The KOA-style cabins at Buckeye Lake include separate sleeping areas that can accommodate families, with bunk beds in one room and a larger bed in the main area. LA-Z Acres Campground and Dillon State Park also offer cabin options with varying levels of amenities. Most properties require advance reservations, especially during summer months when cabins fill quickly. Pet policies differ between locations, with some allowing dogs in designated cabins for additional fees. A camper mentioned, "The design is nice as the bunk beds are in their own separate room. This means the back room will sleep four individuals."

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary widely, with some cabins offering no cooking facilities while others provide outdoor fire rings with grills. Due to health code regulations, food preparation typically must occur outside the cabins at picnic tables. On-site camp stores at locations like Buckeye Lake KOA sell firewood, ice, and basic provisions. The camp stores generally close by early evening, so guests should plan accordingly. Some campgrounds will deliver firewood directly to cabin sites upon purchase.

    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.

    Delaware State Park Campground

    Nice Ohio State Park

    This state park spans over 2,000 acres and is just north of the cute Ohio town of Delaware. We stayed here for two nights while visiting friends in the area but wished we would have stayed to enjoy all that the park had to offer. The campground was really nice and quiet when we stayed there which was during the week and in the spring and not very crowded. We can imagine that this park is pretty full in the summer with all their amenities and close proximity to major Ohio cities. 

    The 'pod' layout of the campground made for large campsites (some sites are over 90 feet in length and well suited for large RV’s) with good separation between sites. There are 212 sites that have 50 amp electric. The campground also has yurts for rent (May through October) that are furnished with beds, table and chairs, a cooler, ceiling fan, outdoor charcoal grill and a picnic table with canopy. This is a great option for those wanting to stay in something more than a tent but don’t have an RV.

    There is no sewer or water at individual sites but there is a dump station and water fill station near the park entrance. Roads and campsites are paved with grassy patios that feature picnic tables and fire pits. The park does not provide wifi but our Verizon hotspot and 4G phone worked well. There are centrally located bath/shower houses with coin-operated laundry facilities.  

    The park is open year-round and great for outdoor activities; especially, those that are water-related. There are numerous boat launches, fully equipped marina, and swimming area. We launched our kayaks and had a great time paddling around the lake.  Be aware that there is no horsepower limits for boats on the lake and weekends are very popular for anglers in high-powered bass boats. The northern portion of the lake is a “no wake zone” which makes for a more pleasant paddling environment.  If you don’t have a boat, boat rentals are available at the marina. 

    For those wanting to hike there are plenty of hiking/biking trails for you to get out and explore the park.  Many of the trails link together so you can decide how long you want to hike. The Lakeview Trail was perfect for us as our dog loved jumping in the water during our hike. Other amenities in the park include a nature center, 18-hole disk golf, hunting, archery, volleyball, horse shoe pits, picnic areas, and an 800-foot designated swimming area.  At the camp store/office you can rent bikes as well as other sporting equipment.

    If you decide to venture out of the park you are only about 40 miles from downtown Columbus and less than 20 miles to the world-renowned Columbus Zoo (which is definitely worth a visit). The nearby town of Delaware is really nice with downtown shopping, restaurants, a historic theater and brewery (Stass Brewing Company has great Belgian-style beer with a fun atmosphere).  

    Would definitely camp here again if we were in the area.

    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.

    Mohican Adventures Campground and Cabins

    Family Friendly

    Great campground with lots to do! RV sites are a little small and close together, but comes with a picnic table and fire pit. There are back in and pull through RV spots - along with nice shady spots for rent camping. Cabins are also available. Great spot to camp if interested in tubing/canoeing/kayaking down Mohican river. When you arrive everyone in the vehicle checks in, and then someone on a golf cart takes you to your spot. Campground has an indoor pool and hot tub. Also has pond with paddle boards and paddle boats that need to be reserved at additional cost. Quite a few playgrounds available and mountain bike trails. Small creek runs along the campground. All guests are given a wrist band that gives you a discount at the Trails End restaurant and at Mohican Adventures across the street.

    Pops Place Camping

    Hidden gem in Ohio

    I highly recommend pop's place.  I stayed there Aug 2024 and as of that date the rustic tent camping was $20.  This is an ideal base camp for riding your motorcycle on the scenic roads in that area of Ohio such as the triple nickel.  The owners are very nice people and helpful.  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.  The wider cabin in the photos is still there, but was currently rented so he couldn't take me on a tour of it.  He took me on a tour of the new cabin he is building and it will be a nice play to stay when he is done.  They sell firewood for $5.  The common grass area has wood lounge chairs, common fire ring, playground,  and cornhole boards.  If you are tent camping and need to charge your phone he has no problem with you using the electric outlet at the RV site if no one is there.  I forgot to suggest to him that maybe add an external electric outlet at the shower house since electric is there for the water heater.  There is a spigot on the outside of the shower house to get drinking water.  There is a basketball backboard near the current cabin if you happen to bring a basketball for your kids to use.  There is good verizon cell service there, I did not expect it because of the location and hills in the area.  I don't hammock camp, but it looked like there were trees far enough apart in the line of pines for hanging 2 hammocks.  One of the photos showed 3 picnic tables for tent campers.  There was only one when I stayed, but I assume it's a temporary or cyclical thing and I was the only tent camper and would have shared it anyway.

    Of note for motorcyclists is that the road the campground is on is paved (good riding to the north of it) and the campground drive is decent gravel for street bikes.

Guide to Granville

Cabin camping near Granville, Ohio provides shelter in the forested regions that surround the Licking River watershed. Elevations in this area range from 800 to 1,100 feet, with distinct seasonal temperature shifts that influence camping conditions. Winter cabin camping requires additional planning as temperatures can drop below freezing, while summer cabin rentals often need to be secured 2-3 months in advance.

What to do

Swimming at designated beaches: Delaware State Park Campground features a well-maintained beach area within the park boundaries. "The beach inside the campground is small, the main beach for Alum Creek State Park is just a short drive away," notes a camper at Alum Creek State Park Campground.

Fishing opportunities: Multiple waterways support various fish species throughout the region. "I love the buckeye lake koa. Great cabins and amazing fishing," mentions a visitor at Buckeye Lake-Columbus East KOA.

Hiking nearby trails: Wooded paths connect many of the cabin areas to natural features. A camper at Mohican State Park Campground shares, "The hiking trails are great with a covered bridge, overlook and waterfalls. The sites are nice and large with lots of trees throughout the park."

What campers like

Heated facilities: Some parks maintain heated bathrooms during colder months. "One heated bathroom with a shower is open in the winter. Absolutely beautiful & great trails," reports a winter visitor at Mohican State Park Campground.

Recreational variety: Beyond standard amenities, some locations offer unique activities. "The kids loved the swimming pools and splash pads, the awesome play ground and lots of playing in the creek," according to a review from Lazy River at Granville.

Private sites: Many campers value separation between cabin areas. At Delaware State Park Campground, a visitor mentions, "The best thing about this campground is the fact that all the sites have privacy. There are nice trails to walk and the bathrooms are the best I've seen at a campground."

What you should know

Reservation requirements: Most cabin facilities require advance planning. At Dillon State Park Campground, a visitor reports, "Great place to rent a cabin! Inexpensive and always a pleasant stay."

Winter accommodations: Off-season cabin camping offers different experiences. "Beautiful area to see in the winter & not as busy. You will mainly see people fishing for trout," notes a Mohican State Park visitor.

Tips for camping with families

Emergency preparedness: Weather conditions can change rapidly in the area. A visitor at Lazy River shares, "There was a huge thunderstorm one of the nights, where we initially retreated to our vans; but then decided to drive up to the store and got ice cream which made the kids super excited about the rain."

Family-oriented activities: Organized events often cater to younger visitors. "The kids stayed entertained with all of the themed events that took place," notes a camper at Lazy River.

Tips from RVers

Site leveling considerations: Terrain varies significantly between locations. At Delaware State Park, "Sites are nice with some sites able to boat up to them. Be careful with rainy weather, some sites have flooded in poor weather."

Hookup limitations: Many cabin areas have restricted utilities. At Dillon State Park, a visitor notes, "Many sites are not level. Many sites have NO shade. Only Electric available at each site."

Seasonal access changes: Weather impacts facility availability throughout the year. "No cell service with Verizon at this park," reports a Mohican State Park visitor who adds, "Camping in the off season is our favorite time of year. This particular park has potable water on by the dump station and the dump station is open."
