Best Campgrounds near Logan, OH

669 Reviews

The southeastern Ohio landscape surrounding Logan features numerous camping options within the Hocking Hills region, known for its unique geological formations and dense forests. Hocking Hills State Park Campground serves as the area's centerpiece, offering tent sites, RV hookups, and cabins within proximity to popular hiking destinations like Old Man's Cave. Several private campgrounds dot the area, including Campbell Cove Camping on Lake Logan and Hocking Hills KOA Holiday, which operates from April through November. For those seeking alternatives to the often-crowded Hocking Hills area, Lake Hope State Park Campground in nearby McArthur provides year-round camping with similar amenities but typically fewer visitors.

Reservations are essential during peak seasons, particularly for weekend stays from late spring through fall when autumn foliage attracts significant crowds. As one camper noted, "If you arrive on a Thursday or early Friday, you are likely to score a site in this very popular park." Most campgrounds operate seasonally, with limited winter availability except at Lake Hope and Burr Oak State Parks, which maintain year-round operations. Cell service throughout the region is notably spotty, with many reviewers mentioning complete dead zones in certain campgrounds and valleys. Road conditions vary significantly, with some access roads described as "VERY bumpy" by visitors, particularly those leading to more remote campgrounds.

Waterfront camping locations receive consistently high ratings from visitors, with Lake Logan sites being particularly sought after. According to one camper at Campbell Cove, "Our site was waterfront and also set away from other sites. We had a great time here and it felt like we were in the woods but there was a business district about 3 mins away." The proximity of natural attractions to conveniences represents a common theme in reviews. Fall is frequently cited as the optimal season for visiting, with one reviewer noting, "Fall is the best season, the foliage is awesome." Campers seeking solitude often recommend Lake Hope State Park, where one visitor observed it was "a great quiet and spacious campground with solid amenities" that provides an alternative to the "swarms of people" at more popular locations.
