Best Glamping near Marietta, OH

Several glamping options surround the Marietta area in southeastern Ohio, including Bigfoot Ridge in West Virginia with its fully furnished glamping cabins and Blue Rock State Park offering yurt accommodations. These upscale outdoor retreats provide comfortable beds with linens, private bathrooms, electricity, and climate control features not found at standard campsites. Most glamping sites include outdoor gathering spaces with fire rings and picnic tables, while maintaining a more luxurious camping experience than traditional tent sites. Burr Oak State Park, Forked Run, and Salt Fork State Park all feature glamping-style cabin accommodations with modern amenities like showers, electric hookups, and water access. "Very 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," noted one visitor about the nearby glamping experience.

The outdoor setting of these boutique camping destinations provides easy access to water activities, hiking trails, and wildlife viewing opportunities. Burr Oak and Salt Fork State Parks offer boat-in access options for a unique glamping experience, while several locations maintain year-round availability for four-season glamping adventures. The proximity to Marietta's historic downtown provides additional cultural attractions when not enjoying the natural surroundings. A recent visitor mentioned, "Beautiful campground with fire pit and table. Our site was big enough for 3 6-person tents but most sites are smaller. Good trails to hike and wonderful scenery." These glamping sites typically require reservations, with availability varying throughout the year. The Jesse Owens State Park area provides more primitive glamping experiences, while locations closer to Marietta offer more developed amenities and proximity to dining options.

Forked Run State Park Campground
Dirty pit toilets. Dirty sinks. Beautiful lake.
This state park has a beautiful lake and a nice beach. There are boat rentals and a frisbee golf course. Overall, this part of the park is beautiful.

The campgrounds, however, leave a lot to be desired. The people were really nice, but the facilities were terrible. The pit toilets were filthy- covered in flies, spiderwebs and dirt. They look like they have not been hosed out since the 70's. The showers and sinks are in an old, old building- it could be fine if it were cleaned daily, but it was filthy too. I was there 3 days and the showers and sinks were never cleaned. They were pretty gross from the start, but then by Saturday night one shower housed a pile of feces. No kidding. Poop in the shower.

We stayed in the camper cabin, which is just a very basic shed with a bed, bunk beds, air conditioning and heat. We stayed there because it was July and I wanted A/C and electricity. The cabin smelled like mold.

I'd go back to this lake but will not stay in the campgrounds again.

Great place and service
I stayed here in the worse month possible for camping in ohio but the owner made it a great experience. They are very accommodating. Even though every thing was snowy and muddy I could tell this is a very well taken care of place. Shower house was clean and warm. The laundry mat washed and dried great. As a construction worker I have payed way more for way less. This place is gem for construction/oil field workers in the area.

Lake Hope State Park Campground
Great spot for getting prepared for zaleski and going kayaking
Several campsites are on a slope so this calls for being creative with placement of tent.
Firewood available for purchase on site. Lake Hope lodge provides great warm and dry spot for delicious food.

Several activities available, fishing available anywhere on the lake, kayak rental for $10 and good size lake.

Very clean pit toliets and running water available dispersed throughout the park. Several hiking trails, zaleski is nearby, hocking hills is 30 minutes away. Moonville tunnel and iron furnace in the area.

Burr Oak State Park Campground
Beautiful but questionable design.
We stayed down at the "lake" spots which are not on the lake but quite above it. Our first site was #19, we were even hesitant to park our 23ft camper in it, but we did and then realized that as soon as we try to get in or out of the camper, it was a steep drop down 5ft. All the sites around this part were steep and tents were pitched on hillsides and most people only stayed for 1 night. We moved to a flatter spot but still had some fun fanagaling the camper in it. Very quiet campground during the week but as soon as Friday hits, it's crazy and loud. We had some neighbors who didn't respect the Quiet hours starting at 10pm and were told very nicely by the Park Ranger and still made a huge fuss. Glad we only stayed for 2 nights.

What You Make Of It
Luxurious accommodations and continental breakfasts won’t be found here…..a space to unwind and reflect will. The sites are sloped and ill paved but the sights, the sights are quintessential Southeast Ohio. Rolling hills dotted with little burgs where the oil has dried up but the resolve has yet to. A slight traverse down the hill lends views normally reserved for travel mags and postcards if just a bit of adventure is employed.

Blue Rock State Park Campground
It's moss I think....
Blue Rock State Park is outside Zanesville, Oh off I70. Rt 60 takes you South and then you have a choice of routes in. Good Ohio farmland scenery.

Out of the way, small camping area with basic sites. A cool feature is a few of the sites have pavilion type covered patios that you can pitch your tent in to help stay dry during inclimate weather.

Otherwise the sites are close together. Though there are a few sites that are more off to themselves, they are still wide open with sparse tree cover.

The restroom is basic, the showerhouse is located at the reservoir beach as well as the camp store and boat rental.The staff was very knowledgeable about the area and conversational.

Several trails are in the area, the Horse Camp is up the road. In addition to this area there is the Blue Rock State Forest that offers several out door activities, check out their map and site online.

Burr Oak State Park Campground
Great site!
Site 41 with a paved pad and electric. We were across from the shower house and bathrooms. The office is closed but a staff person was on site. Our site was perfect for us with trees on either side to help with shade. Across our site was also a big green space to walk our dogs. Not all the electric sites have shade especially if you are up top. The lower electric is much better however some of the sites hardly have a space for tents and would be better for a camper. Lots of places to hike and a lake to kayak or canoe. There’s a big playground for the kids as well. The tent only sites are a little less desirable as they are all downhill and mostly uneven. They have flush toilets and sinks but you’d have to come up to the main campground to shower. Pick your site wisely!
