Best Cabin Camping near Heath, OH

Buckeye Lake-Columbus East KOA and Lazy River at Granville offer log cabin rentals within an hour of Heath, Ohio. The KOA cabins feature bunk beds in separate rooms that sleep four individuals plus a large bed for two in the main room, providing organized sleeping arrangements with tables and benches. "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 electricity, though amenities vary significantly between locations. LA-Z Acres Campground provides cabin options with recently updated electric and plumbing systems, while Mohican State Park Campground offers cabin rentals in a more natural setting.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Basic cabins typically provide shelter and sleeping arrangements without indoor plumbing, while deluxe models may include bathrooms and kitchen facilities. Most locations maintain strict policies regarding cooking inside cabins—at Buckeye Lake KOA, food preparation must occur outside due to health code regulations. Pet policies vary by location with some cabins being pet-friendly while others prohibit animals entirely. A visitor mentioned, "The design is nice as the bunk beds are in their own separate room. This means the back room will sleep four individuals." Reservations are essential, especially during summer months when family-friendly campgrounds like Lazy River at Granville fill quickly.

Visitors to cabin rentals should plan to bring their own bedding, towels, and toiletries as these items are rarely provided. Some cabins include picnic tables outside for meals, but cooking equipment is limited. Many campers appreciate the simplicity of cabin camping compared to tent camping. "The cabin was fun and we were able to keep our trip simple by packing less due to the cabin," one review noted. On-site camp stores at locations like Buckeye Lake KOA sell firewood (delivered to cabins), ice, and basic provisions, though prices may be higher than at grocery stores in surrounding communities. Bathrooms and showers are typically located in central facilities rather than in basic cabins, with cleanliness varying by location.

    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.

    Lake Hope State Park Campground

    Great Location, Good Vibes, Slightly Slanted Sites

    Stayed over Labor Day Weekend and was pleasantly surprised by the site we got for booking only a week in advance! Would stay again!

    - Many sites are quite sloped and slanted, but this cannot be determined by pictures online. With that said, all sites appeared to have a spot for at least 1 tent cleared away and the picnic table and fire ring in a secure location.

    - Most sites only had room for one car parked at the site

    - Clean pit style restrooms! With running water restrooms dispersed through the campground.

    - Lake Hope was a good size for kayaking (and rentals were open and only ~$10 per person per hour for various boating devices).

    - Fishing allowed anywhere!

    - Cool hiking trails throughout to see caves, The Hope Furnace, and water features!

    - Only ~30-40min from all the must see attractions of Hocking Hills and surrounding area!

    - Camp Store with wood, ice, etc.

    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.

    Pine Creek Cabins & Camping Resort

    Cabin stay

    We stayed in one of the small cabins and loved it! Very clean, with thoughtful amenities. Hot tub on the back porch. This cabin also comes with two horse stalls. Bridle trail access right from campground.


Guide to Heath

Cabin camping near Heath, Ohio offers proximity to water recreation on rivers and lakes across Licking and Muskingum counties. The region sits within the western foothills of the Appalachian Plateau with elevations ranging from 800-1100 feet. Winter temperatures typically drop below freezing December through February, making cabin accommodations particularly valuable during cold-weather camping when nighttime lows can reach the mid-20s.

What to do

Disc golf at Jackson Lake Park: Visitors can enjoy the on-site disc golf course while staying in cabin accommodations. "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," notes one visitor who found the nearby town of Lithopolis offered additional activities with "some local coffee and dining, as well as antique shops."

Fishing at Dillon State Park: The park offers fishing opportunities with cabin rentals available for those seeking more comfortable accommodations. A camper mentioned, "Great place to rent a cabin! Inexpensive and always a pleasant stay." The heavily forested location provides a true outdoor experience without sacrificing comfort.

Mountain biking at Mohican State Park: The park features dedicated mountain bike trails accessible from the campground with cabin options nearby. "Camp store is nice and well stocked, gem mining and mountain bike trails are located within the campground as well as a pool," reports one visitor who rated it their "favorite park of 2019."

Swimming at multiple locations: Several cabin-offering campgrounds maintain swimming facilities. At Wolfie's Campground, one visitor noted, "Bathrooms very clean. Loved the free games. Cabin was very clean and had comfortable beds." The campground features a "Small 5ft deep pool, very nice playground" according to another review.

What campers like

Quiet environment: At National Road Campground, cabins provide shelter in a peaceful setting. "My family and I were just passing through for the night, and the vibe was great. It was quiet, clean, easily accessible, and offered a wide range of amenities," reports one satisfied visitor.

Water proximity: Several campgrounds offer cabin accommodations with water access. At Mohican State Park Campground, cabins are situated near the river. "Listening to the river is what makes this place peaceful. The Hemlock Gorge trail is accessible from the end of the campground," notes one reviewer who appreciated the riverside location.

Family activities: Lazy River at Granville provides cabins with organized activities for families. "We spent a weekend here with two other families (9 kids total) and had a wonderful time! The kids loved the swimming pools and splash pads, the awesome play ground and lots of playing in the creek," explains a visitor who specifically mentioned how the campground accommodated tent campers during a storm by letting them "use the game room to relax in and ride out the worst of the storm."

Clean facilities: Several cabin-offering campgrounds maintain high cleanliness standards. At Wolfie's Campground, a visitor stated, "A clean park with about 45 sites total. Some are long term while others for shorter stays. They also have cabins and tent sites. Nice pool, 1/2 court basketball court, playground, laundry and store."

What you should know

Reservation requirements: Most cabin accommodations require advance booking, especially during peak season. At Dillon State Park Campground, which offers cabins, one visitor noted that "Reservations only, most sites are level and spacious."

Varying cabin conditions: Cabin quality differs significantly between locations. A visitor to Jackson Lake Park commented on their cabin experience: "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."

Seasonal availability: Several campgrounds have limited cabin availability during winter months. At Mohican State Park Campground, a visitor noted, "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. The water at the full hook up sites are turned off."

Wi-Fi and connectivity: Internet access varies by location. At Jackson Lake Park, a visitor mentioned, "The Wi-Fi was good but not free and was worth the $2/day to do some late night binge watching."

Tips for camping with families

Entertainment options: At Buckeye Lake-Columbus East KOA, families have multiple activity choices beyond cabin accommodations. "Tons of stuff for kids, they had a blast! Great atmosphere, friendly staff! Will deliver wood to site & had lots of amenities," noted one visitor.

Activity scheduling: Plan for organized family activities at certain cabin-offering campgrounds. At Lazy River at Granville, a visitor reported, "We went with a group of 12 couples and 23 kids. There was something for everyone. At the top of our list of favorites!"

Bathroom accessibility: Consider cabin location relative to bathroom facilities when traveling with children. At Wolfie's Campground, reviews mention "very clean" bathrooms with "2 large showers per bathhouse."

Weather contingencies: Have alternative plans for rain when staying in cabins. At Lazy River at Granville, one visitor described how during "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 (getting to stay up late and have ice cream!!)."

Tips from RVers

Site selection: At LA-Z Acres Campground, cabin rentals provide an alternative to RV camping. "The Owners are to what I would say in a huge transition stage for this campground. They are making major strides in not only making this a great place to go and stay for the weekend and all season. They have updated the electric, plumbing, the public bathrooms, the stage," noted one visitor.

Seasonal considerations: Winter cabin camping offers a different experience from peak season. At Mohican State Park Campground, a visitor commented, "Beautiful area to see in the winter & not as busy. You will mainly see people fishing for trout. During the summer I hear it gets pretty busy with people tubing on the river."

Access challenges: Some cabin locations have narrow access roads. At Wolfie's Campground, one RVer observed, "The only challenge is you don't want to meet a rig going out while you're coming in. We are a 38 foot class A and met a 36' 5th wheel on the curve at the entrance. We literally passed with less than an inch between us."
