Several cabin accommodations surround Martins Ferry, Ohio, with options like Grand Vue Park and Tomlinson Run State Park offering rustic lodging experiences. Cabins at Raccoon Creek State Park provide electric hookups with basic furnishings including beds, tables, and fire rings. Most park cabins feature picnic tables outside and are situated within wooded areas for privacy. Salt Fork State Park Campground offers more developed cabin options with full electricity and some with kitchen facilities. "The cabins are well equipped, clean and updated," according to a visitor who stayed at one of the area's state park cabins.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Tomlinson Run State Park features three cabins nestled among heavily wooded sites, while Austin Lake RV Park & Cabins provides more amenity-rich options. Most cabins require advance reservations, particularly during summer months when availability becomes limited. Pet policies vary by location, with some parks like Raccoon Creek designating specific pet-friendly cabin areas. A recent review noted that "Loop F includes electric spots! Loved seeing the 'neighbors' dogs get excited and curious when I walked my 4-legged best friend around the site."
Most cabins include basic furniture but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary significantly between locations, with some offering only outdoor fire rings while others provide indoor cooking equipment. Campground stores at locations like Tomlinson Run State Park sell firewood, ice, and limited groceries, though selection is typically minimal. Visitors staying at more remote cabins should plan to bring all necessary supplies, as on-site options may be limited to souvenirs and basic camping necessities. Firewood is available at most locations, typically priced around $5-6 per bundle according to visitor reports.

TravelerWhile most of the campgrounds in the park are no pets- there are 2 loops that allow your furry companions! Loop F includes electric spots! Loved seeing the 'neighbors' dogs get excited and curious when I walked my 4-legged best friend around the site. Clean area , close to a modern bathroom (a few stalls & even 2 showers!) Looking forward to going back at the end of the month.
LegendGeneral: 50-site (all but six with electric hookups) campground plus two yurts and three cabins. Two sites are handicap accessible.
Site Quality: The sites have gravel pads (except the handicap-accessible ones which were paved). The sites were completely covered with leaves when we were there which made it challenging to determine where the actual (narrow) pad was. Sites appeared to be level. A fire ring and wooden picnic table complete the site.
Bathhouse: A little dated but clean. Two of the stall doors did not latch properly. Didn't use the shower so cannot comment but there was a sign indicating it took a while for the water to warm up.
Activities/Amenities: There is a small camper store, laundry, and a playground. In season, there is lake swimming and a boat dock. There is a fishing area, mini-golf and disc golf, and several short hiking trails. Unfortunately, since we arrived late afternoon and had to depart early the following day (and were camping off-season), we could not take advantage of any of these things. What we lose in activities, we gain in a quieter camping experience with fewer crowds, which is generally preferable for us!
GuideThis is a nice little park that used to have a lake…until it was undermined (literally) and destroyed by the nearby coal company. The trails are pleasant, especially the one leading to the old Chess Cemetery. The PADCNR works hard to make this park into an attraction despite the fact that it no longer has its lake as a focal point. This means that they maintain a cold water swimming pool in the summer. And they keep the campground open year-round, which makes it a rarity. If you want to go camping in January, this might be the only conventional campground in PA where you can do that. The campground is pleasant, if a little…spooky. None of the spots are very secluded, but that's okay because you'll probably be the only camper here. Like much of the park, it's bordered by a public road, which means that there's some traffic--usually loud pickups and frack trucks. I've only ever camped here in the fall, when Greene County is at its most beautiful, and I've always had the campground (and most of the park) entirely to myself. There are two tiny cabins as well as sites for tents or campers. Ryerson is worth a visit. Not sure why the state can't make the coal company pay for its destruction of the lake.
TravelerSaltfork is located about 45 minutes from my house, and makes for the perfect overnight trip.
There are tons of things to do, and lots of space in which to do them. My favorites includes hiking trails, and the lakeside dog park.
I stay in the primitive camping, it allows for more privacy and quiet. Although it also means you are relegated to the pit toilets. I personally don't mind them, but I know some campers will make the drive to the nicer shower house in the RV heavy side of the park.
Each site has a picnic table and fire ring, the fire rings in the primitive section need some work, as the grates are very old and small.
TravelerI did not stay in the cabins. I tent camped. The tent areas are out past the Vue Bar and Grill. They are spread out and each has a fire ring, picnic table and fire wood is free! The people there are great, easy check in. The tent areas are spread out and there isn’t an actual road to each of the sites. I actually thought this was cool but not if its raining and you have a small car.
The best part is the Vue Bar and Grill, the food is surprisingly good. Cooked well and is large portions. There is many other things to do there as well. They have an adventure park but we didn’t make it there. Planing to go back.

RangerThe Atwood Lake Campground is a true gem in a beautiful area of eastern Ohio! We’ve visited the Atwood region many times in the past but have never camped - but after this visit we’ll be back for sure. The campground is relatively new, with the campground area being completely revamped beginning in 2017. There are two overnight camping areas with seasonal sites in a separate section; we stayed in “Camp H” which is the newest area. There is a huge bathhouse with two sets of men’s and women’s restrooms and shower facilities along with a very nice laundry area. Adjoining the bathhouse area is a beautiful pavilion and children’s playground - all of which overlooks Atwood Lake. The campsites are nicely spaced though if you’re in the inner loop as we were or even some of the outer ring sites you’ll be looking right into your neighbor’s site. All sites are FHU on level concrete pads and include a metal picnic table and fire ring. If needed there are two very well equipped dump stations if you prefer to use them instead of the sewer connection at your site. Many sites are on cul de sacs directly on the lake with docks and fishing areas adjacent to the campsites. Lots of hiking trails, paved bike paths, a swimming beach and restaurant are in a nearby area. We loved the campground and will return soon!
LegendElectric Site 37 - pad is pretty level, plenty for our small camper and truck, on a slight hill to get to fire ring but lots of space to spread out. You could tent but not really a flat spot. We were near the non-electric cul de sac and a neighbor right across but not on top of each other. Trees are everywhere and wonderful during the fall season. We had a big night of rain and with the wind it dried up pretty quickly.
Camp store - small, not a lot in it but may be end of the season items only. Mostly shirts and mugs and very little snack food. The camp store staff were all very friendly and helpful and the store has limited WiFi if you stood in the right spot. There is a laundry room available there as well.
Dump station- 2 way and potable water on the other side of it. The only place to drop your trash too.
Trails - lots of trails to choose from. Some were pretty easy some were a little hilly. My favorite was the fern trail - lots of ferns and a very pretty stream. Hiking poles are recommended especially if it rains.
Playground - is available for kids and a huge shelter house too.
Firewood is $6 a bundle and burns well, no slab cut.
Water - have to go up to entrance as the water spouts are still shut off.
Showers - in womens the shower on the left never got warm, other two were fine. There are 4 flush toilets.
GuideThis campground is not free. It was $28 for a non-electric site and I believe I was told it was almost $40 for a site with an electric hookup. There's a picnic table and fire ring at each site, and mine had a hammock post, but I'm not sure if they all do. There are trails and fishing so plenty to do. Fairly sparse in April but a lot of people still driving and walking by. Alcohol prohibited
Cabin camping near Martins Ferry, Ohio provides access to the region's rolling Appalachian foothills with elevations ranging from 650 to 1,250 feet. The area experiences distinct seasonal changes with summer temperatures averaging 75-85°F and winter temperatures often dropping below freezing. Most cabin sites throughout the region sit on terrain that requires some navigation of hills and potentially muddy access roads during wet seasons.
Lakeside activities at Tappan Lake: The 2,350-acre lake offers swimming, boating, and fishing opportunities within a short drive from cabin accommodations. "This campground has three main sections, one for permanent campers and boaters, the new section (Section 5 which is great) and another primitive section up on the hill. Section 5 is the bomb!! We stayed in the 5-520-531 section," notes a visitor to Tappan Lake Park Campground.
Trail hiking near cabins: Explore over 40 miles of trails at Raccoon Creek State Park, where cabins provide a comfortable base for hikers. "Got out for a couple hours hiking in the snow. It was great. Just what we needed to stretch the legs and enjoy some family time. We did the Palomino Loop. It also was quite interesting getting to the trail. Some nice snow covered back roads," shares a visitor to Raccoon Creek State Park Campground.
Winter mushroom hunting: The cabin areas around Ryerson Station State Park offer unique seasonal foraging opportunities. "Went down to pick some Morrell and shantrels mushrooms, they were everywhere, many of the mushrooms didnt even require us to leave the path! Too bad the dam was ruined years ago, it would have really been my #1 spot in PA if it also had a lake!!" reports an enthusiast at Ryerson Station.
Quiet, secluded cabin sites: Many visitors appreciate the peaceful nature of certain cabin locations in the region. "This is the one campground that my wife and I make it to every year. There's truly nothing special about it, except that is a very friendly, and laid back place to camp. It sits on top of a mountain well away from the rest of the park," comments a visitor about Tomlinson Run State Park Campground.
Lake views from cabins: Several parks offer waterfront or water-view cabin options. "We had a great spot by the lake right off the back of our camper. Make sure you have a good tow vehicle as there is a steep hill at the entrance/exit of the camp ground," advises a visitor to Zion Retreat & RV Park.
Modern cabin amenities: Some parks have recently upgraded their facilities. "Grand Vue has a brand new rv camping park. 40 spots with full hookups. A gated campground with a paved main road running through. The lots are gravel and somewhat level. A cute restaurant is close by along with restrooms and showers that are also brand new," notes a visitor to Grand Vue Park.
Cell service limitations: Many cabin camping areas have limited or no cell service. "There is NO Verizon service at the campground. We walked up to the amphitheater and were able to get out a few texts but no looking at the radar. One person in our party had AT&T and was able to text from the campground but still a very weak signal," reports a visitor to Ryerson Station State Park Campground.
Seasonal considerations: Weather can significantly impact cabin access and activities. "We were in sight 32 f loop. It is sunny so pick your spots. Clean rr's with good showers but a bit old. There is a lake with swimming and kayak rentals," notes a visitor to Raccoon Creek.
Cabin reservation timing: Reservations for cabins fill quickly, especially for newer or renovated units. "The sites are a bit close, think KOA close. This might be a turnoff if the campground was full. The weekend we stayed there were 8 total campers, lots of empty sites between campers," explains a camper at Salt Fork State Park Campground.
Water activities for kids: Several parks offer kid-friendly water features beyond basic swimming. "Tons of stuff to do here. Very big campground, all kinds of sites. Reserve early for Holiday Weekends as it fills up. Lots of seasonals. Inflatable slides and such in the lake, hiking trials, playgrounds, all sorts of stuff," says a visitor to Austin Lake RV Park & Cabins.
Playground proximity: Some cabin areas offer convenient access to play areas. "Small camp loop is great for little kids to bike around. There is no playground at the campground which would have been nice. There is NO Verizon service at the campground," comments a visitor at Ryerson Station.
Cabin vs. tent consideration: For families debating between tent and cabin camping, consider weather variability. "I have been to Raccoon Creek many times as it is one of the closest camping places to the Pittsburgh metro area. The park it self is large, has over 40 miles of trails, a fantastic backpacking loop setup for beginners, and a nice lake for swimming, fishing, ect," notes a visitor at Raccoon Creek.
Access road challenges: Several cabin and RV areas have steep entrance roads. "CSC/SA Take your time and all will be just fine. Our rig is 39' & 16K. 4wd low helps, not cause you need 4wd just for the lower gears," advises an RVer about Austin Lake.
Hookup availability: Cabin areas often share facilities with RV sites, with varying levels of services. "Everyone was so friendly and the gate just uses a code! so not fiddling around with a Fob or keycard! The Sites were fully paved and the entire campground was super nice! The blacktop was super nice and the campground was easy to navigate the bathhouses were really clean!" reports a visitor to Grand Vue Park.
Site leveling needs: Many RV sites near cabin areas require leveling equipment. "Sites are new, clean, full hookups, with plenty of paved surfaces to park. Camper sites are level and the hookups are new and easy to use," notes a visitor to Tappan Lake Park.
