Best RV Parks & Resorts near McConnelsville, OH

Several RV parks around McConnelsville offer essential amenities for motorhome travelers. Stockport RV Park provides full hookup sites with 50-amp electric, water, and sewer connections in a quiet rural setting. Shadow Lake RV Resort, open year-round near Woodsfield, accommodates big rigs with spacious pull-through sites and complete hookups. "Sites were very sloped and the RV sites were pretty close together," noted one camper about regional state parks, highlighting the importance of leveling equipment when staying at area campgrounds. Blennerhassett RV Park in Belpre offers 50-amp electric and sewer hookups with fire rings at most sites, while Ashland RV Park near Marietta features large open sites minutes from downtown.

Many campgrounds in this region maintain shower facilities and dump stations for non-full-hookup sites. Cell service varies significantly throughout the area—some reviewers reported good Verizon reception at Burr Oak Cove Campground with 2 bars of LTE making remote work possible, while more remote locations have limited connectivity. Seasonal availability should be considered when planning trips, as parks like Hocking River RV Park operate only from April through October. For travelers with larger rigs, advance research is recommended since several reviewers mentioned tight maneuvering at some parks. Based on reviews from The Dyrt, weekend camping can be particularly busy: "Seems like many on lower level were part of a large group and had dogs that barked endlessly! Seems each RV had an additional 1-2 vehicles or local friends visiting making driving through next to impossible."

    Hocking River RV Park

    Scenic, easy in/out and on the river

    Stayed here 4 nights, pull through spots require a little bit of maneuvering with big rig (43’ fifth wheel). There was some mud where camper wheels were situated in the spot (needs material). Fire rings are not near RV but behind across the road on the river. Bath house is just ok - not great, not gross. Close proximity to lots of hiking but Hocking Hills itself has become so crowded… don’t come if you want to get away from people.

    Hocking Hills KOA Holiday

    Great first time KOA experience

    We 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.

    Hocking Hills State Park Campground

    Would stay again

    This 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.

    Salt Fork State Park Campground

    Great fall camping

    Dated, but pretty clean bath\shower building with clothes washer and dryer ($2). Sites in C-loop are far enough apart to not feel too crammed together. Power pedestal has 20, 30 and 50 amp service. 30 amp worked fine. Lots of trails, allowing dogs on leash. True, other amenities are a drive of at least a couple miles to get to. ATT service was fine for streaming using ROKU and my phone as a hotspot. Paved, level pads, but not long enough for largest trailers. Check size if you have one. Sites at South end of loop get the most shade

    Hocking Hills State Park Campground

    Great Ohio State Park Campground

    Amazing trails walkable right from the campground. Old mans cave, upper & lower falls. Bathroom was clean. Showers were ok. My site 108 was not deep, but was wide. Great for my 5X9 travel trailer, but probably not good for a big rig. Shaded & right near the shower house was a plus.

    Big Sycamore Family Campground

    Great small family campground

    We enjoyed our 3 night stay here! 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. 5 acres with everything we could need. The owners were amazing. Very friendly and helpful! They had only owned the campground for 2 weeks and were in the process of making several improvements. The shower house and bathrooms were clean and adequate. There is a small playground for kids. It is pet friendly. There is a nice sized pool for summer (we camped in October so it was closed for the season). Located within a short drive (about 10 miles/15 minutes) from everything Hocking Hills has to offer. There is even a restaurant close by that will deliver to your campsite. Kroger and Walmart are within 5-7 minutes driving for supplies. The only downside is that it is close to a highway so at night you can hear the traffic. This didn’t bother us so much but might be a problem for some.

    Burr Oak Cove Campground

    Nice little campsite

    Cool little campground. First come first served with no reservations accepted. The sites are clean with picnic tables and fire rings and can accommodate small RVs. There are a couple of vault style outhouses, dump stations and a couple of water stations as well. No electric or water hookups, though. Came on a Thursday and there were only two sites occupied so it was nice and quiet even though there is a bit of road noise from the nearby roads. There’s also an easy 1 mile trail down to Burr Cove proper. The sites are $15 ($10 in the off season when the water is turned off) and you pay at an honor box at the entrance once you pick your spot.


Guide to McConnelsville

Camping near McConnelsville, Ohio offers year-round access to the Muskingum River watershed and rolling Appalachian foothills. Elevation varies between 650-900 feet throughout the area, with typical summer highs in the mid-80s and winter lows below freezing. Most campgrounds provide water access for fishing, kayaking, and small watercraft.

What to do

Riverside kayaking and canoeing: At Riversedge Campground, watercraft rentals include drop-off service upstream. "If you decide to rent a kayak they will even drop you off upstream to start your trip," notes Ken P. The campground recently acquired 62 acres across the road for hiking trails.

Swimming and jet skiing: Lakeview RV Park maintains a small swimming lake with additional water activities. "Small swimming lake! Canoe rental and jet pack 'skiing'," reports Robin R. The park serves as a convenient base for water recreation without traveling to larger lakes.

Local exploration: Lancaster and Marietta offer historic downtown districts within 30-40 minutes of most area campgrounds. "Very close to the nice little downtown Marietta, Ohio but still very rural location," writes James P. about Ashland RV Park. The Ohio River Museum in Marietta features regional maritime history exhibits.

What campers like

Riverfront tent sites: Tent campers appreciate direct water access at several campgrounds. "Our tent was right on the river and Kelli was the best host ever!" reports Eric S. at Riversedge Campground. "We enjoyed them by our fire as we watched the mist gently float over the water."

Quiet settings: Despite proximity to towns, many campgrounds maintain peaceful environments. "Large open campground minutes from downtown Marrietta OH owner and Staff are very friendly and easy going!" notes Keith O. about Ashland RV Park. The rural character persists even near small cities.

Wildlife viewing: The region's woodlands support diverse wildlife. "We see deer almost every evening," mentions Darla about Shadow Lake RV Resort. "There are a couple hiking trails nearby (Piatt Park and Raven's Rock) which have incredible rock formations in the gorges."

What you should know

Cell service quality: Mobile coverage varies significantly between campgrounds, with stronger signals near towns and spotty reception in valleys. Coverage improves at higher elevations within campgrounds.

Seasonal considerations: While some rv campgrounds near McConnelsville operate year-round, others close during winter. "We came to Shadow Lake in October to camp for the month. To get here, you must drive through the rolling hills of Southern Ohio, which is absolutely gorgeous in October!" explains Darla.

Site spacing and privacy: Site arrangements differ considerably between campgrounds. At Hocking River RV Park, site selection matters: "Sites 26 and 27 are real small and private. Big enough for a pop up," notes Brad B. Other reviewers mention varying degrees of privacy between sites.

Water access challenges: River access can be difficult at some locations. "Figured we'd bring some swim suits since it's on the river but there really wasn't any way to the river as the bank was about 5 feet up," reports Bryatt S. about Hocking River RV Park. Request specific information about water accessibility when booking.

Tips for camping with families

Limited amenities: Some campgrounds offer minimal recreational facilities. "No playground which made camping with kids very uneventful for them," notes Bryatt S. about Hocking River RV Park. Consider bringing portable recreation equipment for children.

Campground hospitality: Personal touches enhance family experiences at smaller operations. "On our last day she brought us warm cinnamon rolls and coffee," shares Eric S. about his stay at Riversedge Campground. "We chose rivers edge for our annual father son getaway and we were not disappointed," adds Ken P.

River safety awareness: With multiple riverfront campgrounds, water safety becomes important. "The river is small and is perfect to have a fire right next to," notes Aysia C. about Hocking River RV Park. "We also just went up the highway a little to a rafting rental place called murrys landing to raft down the river."

Tips from RVers

Budget-friendly options: Several rv parks near McConnelsville offer competitive rates. "Did I mention we're right on the Ohio River with full hookup for $25 a night?! Full hookup alone is worth more than 25 bucks. Cash or Check only," reports Clean Slate D. about Harris RV Park.

Leveling requirements: Terrain throughout the region creates uneven sites at many campgrounds. "Stayed here 4 nights, pull through spots require a little bit of maneuvering with big rig (43' fifth wheel). There was some mud where camper wheels were situated in the spot (needs material)," explains Tamara W. about Hocking River RV Park.

Seasonal considerations for larger rigs: Weather affects site conditions for heavy RVs. "Even though every thing was snowy and muddy I could tell this is a very well taken care of place," notes Blaine V. about Shadow Lake RV Resort. Winter camping requires extra preparation for possible muddy conditions.
