Cabin accommodations near Logan, Ohio range from Sherman-style structures with heating and air conditioning to rustic shelters with minimal amenities. Most Logan area rental cabins require reservations well in advance, especially during autumn when Hocking Hills draws significant crowds for fall foliage. Weekend availability is particularly limited during summer months when temperatures average 80-85°F.
What to do
Lake access activities: Campbell Cove Camping offers waterfront sites with kayaking opportunities. "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 which was really convenient. Lake Logan was spectacular," shares one camper at Campbell Cove Camping.
Hiking options: Multiple trail access points connect directly to cabin areas. At Top O' The Caves Campground, "you can walk to ash cave from your campsite! There is a connecting trail right at the front of the campground. It was a fairly simple hike too," according to a visitor who stayed in a rustic cabin.
Fishing spots: Several cabin locations offer pond or lake access for fishing. "There's a small pond for fishing and a church from the 1800s and all together a beautiful place to walk around," notes a reviewer about Top O' The Caves. These fishing areas typically don't require Ohio fishing licenses for private ponds.
What campers like
Private cabins: Some sites offer more secluded options than others. "We stayed in one of the rustic cabins. With other family members bringing their RVs. The bathroom facilities were some of the nicest and cleanest we've experienced," reports a visitor at Campbell Cove Camping.
Family amenities: Many cabin campgrounds include child-friendly features. "This campground was pretty great! My wife and I stayed in a rather large tent site and my parents stayed in an RV site... They also put on a very long firework show that night which was awesome! We must have came the perfect weekend," explains a camper at Top O' The Caves.
Quieter alternatives: Some cabins are located in less crowded areas than the main Hocking Hills sites. At Lake Hope State Park Campground, "Lake Hope gave me a new way to experience an area I grew very close to and appreciate but cannot stand the swarms of people. It was a great quiet and spacious campground with solid amenities and it's own nearby sites."
What you should know
Cabin differences: Amenities vary significantly between locations. "We have stayed here a couple of times in a tent and a class a motor home. The campground is pretty secluded but beautiful rolling hills," writes a visitor about Lake Hope. Some cabins offer full kitchens while others provide only sleeping quarters.
Reservation policies: Most Logan area cabin rentals require deposits, with varying cancellation rules. At Hocking Hills KOA Holiday, one visitor noted they "had reserved two tent sites, had to put down 45$ for each site" but faced challenges with weather-related cancellations.
Access limitations: Some cabin locations have challenging terrain. According to a Lake Hope camper, "When we went on our first adventure to Hocking Hills we chose to go Primitive and booked a site here. We were not disappointed. Our site was waterfront and also set away from other sites."
Tips for camping with families
Cabin sizing: Request specific cabin configurations for family needs. "The KOA was what one expects of the KOA... The design is nice as the bunk beds are in their own separate room," reports a visitor at Hocking Hills KOA Holiday.
Entertainment options: Look for cabins at campgrounds with additional activities. At Hilltop Resorts and Campgrounds, "There is a nice sized sand ground play set with swings and 2 slides, an air pillow (blob) putt putt, a trail to the lake, a dog run, poop pickup stations, an A/C'd game room and very pleasant staff."
Educational experiences: Some cabin locations offer nature programs. At Burr Oak State Park Campground, "We actually stayed at the lodge and it was lovely. We would hike around during the day and swim inside as it was before spring. Lots of great trails."
Tips from RVers
Site selections: Choose cabin locations based on proximity to amenities. "Campsites are accessible to all by car and offer an affordable way to spend the weekend in the caves. With miles and miles of hiking possibility this is not the place for a backpacking trip but rather a camp and day hike trip," notes a visitor at Hocking Hills State Park.
Seasonal considerations: Winter cabin rentals have specific requirements. At Burr Oak, "We enjoyed a full hookup site. The spots aren't very spacious but there's lots of trees nearby and an easy walk to get to Old Mans Cave. We enjoyed swimming in the pool."
Road conditions: Some cabin access roads present challenges. "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," warns a Hocking Hills KOA Holiday visitor.
