"We live close to this park and frequent there, sometimes just day trips. Tent camping is great and just like most places there are a few sites that are the best."
"I discovered this park in 2019 while on a history road trip to Marietta, Ohio and Blanerhasset Island. "
$20 - $80 / night
"This campground has been around since the 1800s. It has a lot of permanent residents and we had a lot of fun checking out the different set ups.
There are a lot of amenities but they need updated."
$35 / night
"Sitting above two fishing lakes, one you can swim in during the summer the campground is peaceful and tranquil and next to some amazing woodland."
$29 - $46 / night
"There are lots of caves, trails, camping options and activities in the area. Be careful, however, every year someone is injured or dies going off trail, often falling from a cliff."
"If you stay away from the main roads, you might feel like you're in a smaller campground."
"The go to camping location for Athens. Many campsites, trails, and amenities. Anything from boat rentals, a small store, and docks to use near the lake."
"Sites are only rented in person once you arrive, they have clear instructions at the entrance. Sites were nice and level, but a bit on the smaller side. Plenty of trails for hiking around the park."
"Lake Hope State Park is the unsung hero of Logan county, Ohio. Hocking Hills State Park gets the crowds because of its amenities and closer proximity to Old Man's Cave...but..."
"Lake Hope has plenty of recreational opportunities for everyone and the campground is close by! The campground is quiet and well kept."
"Lake Snowden is a great alternative to camping at Strouds. The lake is large and clean, with an awesome new “water park” opened during the summer. Great shelters, facilities, and optional bathrooms."
"We were able to camp right by the lake. The trails are great for hiking and some more intermediate mountain biking. And there are boat rentals of many different types."
"Wayne National Forest shares the area with Burr Oak State Park near Glouster, Oh.
Wayne National Forest is split into three areas in southeastern Ohio."
"The Blue Trail goes through here and provides a fun hike. There is a bathroom across the road and access to water at the entrance of the site. Showers are 15 minutes walk or a quick drive away."
$30 - $35 / night
"It is minutes away from downtown Point Pleasant. I had spent the afternoon exploring the town and didn't feel like driving further."
"Overall, I was looking for something close to downtown Point Pleasant and this was a good fit. There is no wifi and cell service was a little spotty (I had 1-3 bars at times for cell service)."
"Zaleski State Forest is adjacent to Lake Hope State Park. Off Rt 278 near Zaleski, Oh, true Ohio countryside to enjoy on the way in. Signal is spotty."
"Much of Ohio is flat corn land, so Zaleski is a special place in Ohio. The trail swings close to some homes, which is less remote than out west where I live now, but overall it's nice."
GuideWas a great spot while we were passing through and needed a place for the night.
There was not manny people there, Sites are small back in, we stayed in loop two site 69 with great shade and electric. Toilets are vault style and very old so you can imagine it’s hard to clean/keep clean.
I do like they have water fountains with faucets every 10-15 sites. As well as grey water dump stations about the same spacing but stagers with the filling.
Showers were clean but only central and shared between all loops.
We drove through loop 1 on our way out and it looked to be kept up better and cleaner.
The lake was nice but I am not sure if they recently had some weather that caused it to be pretty brown/muddy, or if that’s normal.
Camp store wasn’t open yet for the season no other staff was Seen except one guy cleaning on loop A
GuidePulled in late at night around 9pm, map was slightly confusing and our site number was facing the opposite direction of what you would think. The sites are very tight and hard to pull into, but thankfully someone came out and noticed us having trouble and helped us pull in.
There also was a wasp nest inside the electric box. Cash only or check is also a bit inconvenient and archaic in 2025.
But in the morning after the rain, it was a much prettier and the campground and lake really was beautiful.
ScoutGreat campground outside of Columbus. Perfect for a quick weekend away that you don’t want to spend a whole day driving. Plenty of things to do including: jump pad, mini golf, basketball, hiking, fishing and kayaking. Our 5 year old had a blast! Everyone was very kind and the grounds are clean. The bathroom/shower facility are private individual units and are the cleanest we have ever seen! We will be back!
RangerIn mid April 2023 I arrived late afternoon and there were TONS of spots available. Happy with the spot I picked. There was some noise from other campsites, but overall not terrible. Strouds is an amazing park with incredible trails! Bathrooms were clean.
LegendVery close to the nice little downtown Marietta, Ohio but still very rural location. Large sites. Great staff. Absolutely love this place. Slow pace and quiet.
GuidePeople coming and going every 15 minutes ish. Some folks pull in stare at you for a few seconds then leave. Only staying one night here then moving on.
ScoutFarver Acres is brand new! Our camper was the first RV to be connected to all the brand new hook ups. Water, electric sewer, and Wi-Fi all work great. It is a very private setting and beautiful views.
ScoutOverall not a bad spot for a one night travel spot but I could see it being more congested between April-December (OHV permitted season)
TravelerThe whole site is gorgeous and there’s a lot of people who are walking around the lake. The campsites are pretty close to each other so privacy isn’t much and the bathrooms are drop tank so the smell isn’t the best but it works. Overall we had a great night and hiked some of the trails they had
