Hocking Hills State Park Campground accommodates tent camping, RV sites, and pet-friendly cabin options throughout the park. Dogs must remain on leashes no longer than 6 feet when outside accommodations. Most campground facilities provide designated pet waste stations and walking paths suitable for daily dog exercise. Campbell Cove Camping on Lake Logan Road maintains waterfront campsites where pets are welcome, with well-kept grounds and updated facilities. The campground's lakeside setting offers excellent opportunities for pets to cool off during summer months, though swimming areas may have separate pet policies. Bathrooms and shower facilities at these campgrounds remain consistently clean and well-maintained, which proves convenient for longer stays with pets.
Several Hocking Hills area campgrounds feature riverside locations where dogs can enjoy water access. Hocking River RV Park provides electric hookups with camping spots positioned along the riverbank, though some reviewers note the high banks can make water access challenging for pets. The campground maintains clean shower facilities but offers limited amenities specifically for pets. Top O' The Caves Campground allows pets throughout their tent sites, RV areas, cabins, yurts and glamping accommodations with hiking trails accessible directly from the property. Most campgrounds in the region enforce standard pet policies requiring proof of current vaccinations, proper waste cleanup, and restrictions against leaving pets unattended at campsites. During peak summer and fall foliage seasons, pet-friendly accommodations fill quickly, requiring advance reservations for those traveling with animals.

TravelerOnly weekend stays and it ends in wintertime. I’m sure it’s pretty and all, but it’s hard to find legit, free dispersed camping in Ohio! Oh well, rest stops always work for car camping.
TravelerWe 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.
LegendLots of room! Privacy, some sites have accommodations for several tents as well as full hook up for campers. Some are adjacent to the playground There are tons of things to do: Miniature golf Disc golf BMX trails Small dog park Golf course Horse camp
ScoutVery clean, well maintained. A lot of nearby activity, private and open sites, lake, beach, trails, marina, bikes, putt putt, dog park, playground, laundry, water close, electric at sites, many "comfort stations" "wash houses" so not far from one.
RangerWeekend get away with the wife and dog. Pet friendly park. Walking path to the lake which was very close. Would advise to visually check the sites, due to terrain which is rolling.
LegendThis was a last minute reservation and only available due to a cancellation. The campground was full for the weekend. The campground is pretty big with different types of sites. Some are smaller, close to neighbors while other have seclusion with trees. From past experience, if it rains, some of the sites do flood. We had great weather this weekend. The site we reserved had a hill right next to the passenger side/door side of your camper. If you had a big camper, it might be tight to open your slides and an awning. You most likely would not sit right outside your camper door. In fact, the fire ring is behind the site and up a small hill. We set up our ez-up in the back and out of the way, it worked for us. There was also a path that led you into the playground. Speaking of playgrounds, you will hear a lot of kids if the weather is nice. We were right across from the camp host (very nice lady) and very short walk to the bathhouse. The bathhouse had 4 flushable toilets and I think 3 showers. The showers did not have benches in the stall, only on the outside directly across. With a full campground, the bathrooms were kept very clean with the amount of people using it. We walked around and noticed a lot of bathhouses and another playground. We took a hike that led us to the lodge - it was an in and out and just under 5 miles. On our way back we stopped at the camp store which was well stocked with items you may need or not. There is a putt putt course, frisbee disc course, horse trails, dog park, nature center, golf course and more trails nearby. There are plenty of things to do if you like to keep busy or are trying to keep kids entertained. (The bees and stinkbugs were out and about while we were there.)
GuideThis walk in camp ground was located just minutes from Old Man’s Cave. It’s a family friendly and pet friendly camp ground. Our stay was quiet and relaxing.
TravelerWe camped at both Dock 3 and Dock 2 with our dog, those are the only two areas that allow pets. At Dock 3 we were right on the water but dock 2 is probably 200 yards from the water. The hiking trails are nice but very muddy after the rain. Lots of geocasches in the area on the trails in Wayne national forest. The docks have near constant traffic but it's not super busy. Just a car every few hours. There were fishermen there most of the night when we were there.
RangerThis is a very nice campground near all of the attractions of Hocking Hills, Ohio. We had full hookups that were excellent, but if we didn't there were several new restrooms throughout the grounds. The camp store has the usual stuff you'll find and is always seems to have a friendly attendant behind the counter. There are several fun things for the kids to do, including a very large bounce pad and a pretty nice looking playground. There's a somewhat small swimming area, but it seems to be pretty clean for a pond. The campground is right on Lake Logan and there's access to the water at the bottom of the grounds. There's also boat rentals right around the corner.
Hocking Hills State Park encompasses over 2,356 acres of natural terrain featuring hemlock-filled gorges, waterfalls, and sandstone formations. The region's campgrounds spread across elevations ranging from 800 to 1,000 feet above sea level, creating variable microclimates for campers. Most sites throughout Logan's camping areas remain open from April through October, with limited winter accommodations available at certain locations.
Hiking trails with waterfall access: Lake Hope State Park offers extensive trail networks through dense forest canopies with abundant wildlife viewing. "Trails are superb...tall canopies, fern ground cover, a wild assortment of fungi and wildlife at every turn. The terrain is undulating but very doable," notes Dave V., who appreciates the park's solitude compared to busier Hocking Hills locations.
Kayaking on Lake Logan: Campbell Cove Camping provides direct lake access with rental options available nearby. "We loved the location of Campbell Coves to Old Man's Cave and hiking trails. We do a family trip to the area every fall and this will be our go-to location," writes Angie J., who stayed in one of their rustic cabins while family members brought RVs.
Paddling the Hocking River: Hocking Hills Canoe Livery offers guided river trips with convenient transportation. "Best kept secret in Hocking County! Located on the Hocking river the sites are very Private and not on top of each other," says Keith O., who camps here regularly. The livery also features specialty evening events like torchlight canoe trips with live music afterward.
Riverside camping spots: Big Sycamore Family Campground provides sites near the water with easy access to town amenities. "The owners here are really great. Small campground and kind of close to the highway, but the sites are a good size, mostly shaded, and the bathhouse was adequate," shares Chris W. The location offers convenient access to shopping including nearby Walmart and Kroger stores.
Privacy between sites: Top O' The Caves Campground features secluded camping areas with varying degrees of woodland coverage. "This Campground was pretty great! My wife and I stayed in a rather large tent site and my parents stayed in an RV site," writes Fred J., who appreciated that "DOGS ARE ALLOWED!! We were so grateful of this because we love taking our dog camping with us!"
Clean facilities: Hocking Hills KOA Holiday maintains well-kept shower houses and common areas. "The bathroom was clean and spacious. The camp store has everything you may need with a Walmart 10 minutes down the road," reports afshar Y. after a 5-day stay. The campground also features a swimming pool and outdoor theater for evening entertainment.
Site flooding concerns: Hocking Hills Camping & Canoe has experienced drainage issues during rainy periods. Camper Ryan B. noted, "The two track road around the campground had standing water of over 12 inches deep that went the width of the two track and about 10 feet long." Consider calling ahead after heavy rainfall to check ground conditions.
Highway noise levels: Hocking River RV Park sites experience traffic sounds from nearby State Route 33. "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," reports Megan M., who also mentions train tracks approximately 200 yards across the river.
Limited cell service: Lake Hope State Park has minimal connectivity throughout the grounds. "No internet or phone service so great to disconnect," notes Daniel, making it important to download maps and information before arrival. Most campgrounds in the Hocking Hills region have similar connectivity limitations due to the terrain.
Book waterfront sites early: Lake Hope State Park Campground offers lake access points for swimming and fishing. "We have camped in a tent here several times. Popular for Scouting campouts and popular with local boaters," mentions Leon H., who recommends fall visits for best scenery. Sites near water fill quickly during summer months.
Check playground availability: Campbell Cove Camping features kid-friendly recreation areas with seasonal attractions. "There is a great playground for kids and a swimming hole. The bathrooms are so clean. You can kayak on the lake and they do have rentals," explains Brianna L., who recommends bringing hammocks due to ample trees for setup.
Consider cabin options for weather flexibility: Hocking Hills State Park offers cabins alongside camping areas for families needing backup shelter. "The campsites are so close together, which you think would at least mean the bathrooms were close, but no, they were a serious hike. Not good with kids," writes Jenny K., highlighting potential challenges with tent camping.
Site levelness varies significantly: Burr Oak State Park Campground features terrain with elevation changes affecting parking. "Camp sites are very small and very unlevel, had to raise back of camper and put front about a 1/4" off ground to get close to level," reports Daniel, who recommends bringing extra leveling blocks even for designated RV sites.
Limited full hookup availability: Big Sycamore Family Campground offers varied connection options across their property. "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," notes Amber R., who also mentions the campground's proximity to restaurants that deliver directly to campsites.
Road condition alerts: When traveling to Hocking Hills KOA Holiday, prepare for rough access roads. "The little road going up to the campground is VERY bumpy. It's not the campground road, it belongs to the Township," explains Vicki H., who recommends driving slowly, especially with larger rigs or trailers.
