6 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Cabins near Steubenville provide rustic to modern accommodations with varying amenities across several state parks and private campgrounds. Raccoon Creek State Park Campground offers cabin rentals with electric hookups, picnic tables, and fire rings. Tomlinson Run State Park features cabins with electricity, heating, and basic furnishings. "The Deluxe Cabin has two queen bedrooms, sleeping loft, 1 1/2 baths, kitchenette, and 3 TVs located in a quiet corner with shade trees," noted one visitor about the Salem-Lisbon KOA cabins. Austin Lake RV Park & Cabins provides furnished cabin options with lake views and recreational amenities.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Tomlinson Run State Park Campground offers three cabins alongside their camping areas, while Beaver Creek State Park Campground provides cabin options year-round. Most cabins require advance reservations, especially during summer months when availability becomes limited. Pet policies vary by location—Raccoon Creek State Park has designated pet-friendly cabin areas in Loop F, while some deluxe cabins at KOA campgrounds are not pet-friendly. A camper mentioned that "the cabins at Atwood Lake Campground are a true gem in a beautiful area of eastern Ohio" with many featuring full hookups and lake access.
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities range from basic fire rings with cooking grates to fully equipped kitchenettes with refrigerators and microwaves. Whispering Pines Family Campground and Washington-Pittsburgh SW KOA provide cabins with market access for basic supplies. Firewood is typically available for purchase at campground offices or camp stores, with prices around $5-6 per bundle. Cabin guests should check specific amenity lists when booking as furnishing levels vary significantly between rustic log cabins and deluxe accommodations with private bathrooms.

"Went to Raccoon Creek State Park to camp for Labor Day weekend. We booked campsite F1 since we had 2 dogs and the F loop allowed dogs. This site was great!"

"Electric 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."
from $28 - $40 / night
"A little out of the way but worth the drive."
"Adjacent to the lake. Multiple amenities close by. Plenty of activities for the family. Great family owned campground."

"A few of the RV sites have electric, but no water for their tanks. I suggest the pine sites for any tent or hammock campers. "
"The camp ground was nice except there is no running water. We took advantage of some of the hiking trails around and they were good in some areas, but definitely needed to be kept up on more often."

"Pool, brook, trees, space, quiet! Every time we come here it gets better. Site was right on the water and listened to the bubbly brook all day."

ScoutWe just bought our first RV and couldn’t ask for a better first time experience!!! Lori and Fred were absolutely awesome. Great clean facilities and pool. Lots of new upgrades and updates. Gorgeous creek and pond and an absolutely amazing set of neighbors! I loved it there and will absolutely be going back!
GuideWe found site F26 at the far end of the loop. Short paved pad with electric very near a simple clean bathroom with flush toilets. Sites are treeless and fairly close together but the sites in our mini loop all backed up to the woods. Surprised to encounter mosquitoes in October. Overall the campground is huge with 5 separate loops that are spread far apart. The check in station is a significant distance from the first loop A and more than a mile from loop F so if you don’t have reservations, go to the website to find out which sites are available then drive around to make your selection -then call or go online to register. $45.50 for electric only site includes booking fee.
ScoutThe park is beautiful, unlevel shade sites; is challenging to get the trailer level. unfortunately, the bathhouses are neglected, dark and full of mildew inside the showers. The park really needs to upgrade the bathhouses. The park itself is very nice and offers a lot of opportunities for outdoor exploration and hiking.
ScoutSpent three nights there in August Mid-week. Was pretty quiet but was clean and nicely taken care of. No mosquitos or bugs at night. Nice walking paths. Pool, hot tub, outdoor showers all very nice.
ScoutWe love camping here. There are a few things to do, swim in the pool, mine for gem stones, they have an arcade and a playground. It’s in a wooded area near lake Arthur with a boat ramp down the Road.
ScoutA little too close together for my comfort. But very nice and relaxing area. And definitely more spread a part than commercial campgrounds.
GuideStayed one night while visiting friends. The campground was nice but could use some updating. It was definitely geared more towards families with small children. The showers were interesting. In the men’s they had a pull cord and a button in the women’s. Hot water was more of a mild suggestion rather than an actual thing you got. Luke warm was a generous way of describing it. Not a bad campground if you have a reason to be in the area for a night, but I would recommend it for long stayed unless your camper is very self contained.
GuideWe've stayed here annually for 7 years. Getting into the RV sites is a steep climb, then you head down from the top of the hill to the RV sites.
The older portion has back in and pull through sites. They are medium to small in size, and due to their height and proximity to Interstates you hear trucks engine breaking. The newer section is lower (and quieter) and the sites are larger, but the gravel is not compacted so it sinks in when you drive, park or try to level your RV on it.
There were dog walking trails in the woods but they are so overgrown you need a machete to use them. The pool is nice and is clean. The camp store is not small but carries a very limited amount of supplies.
The staff are friendly. We've had RV issues and birds nesting under our slide room covers that they have helped us deal with.
TravelerI’m really impressed with this campground. Everything is very well maintained—clean, tidy, and organized. The staff and other campers are friendly, and there’s a welcoming atmosphere overall. There are plenty of activities to keep you busy, a great pool, and the sites are spacious and comfortable. They even have what I’d consider professional-grade cornhole boards that look like they’re made from concrete or a similar solid material—really well built and a nice touch. It’s been a very enjoyable and relaxing place to stay.

Located in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains at elevations between 700-1,200 feet, the region experiences distinct seasonal changes with summer temperatures averaging 75-85°F and winter lows frequently below freezing. Most cabin areas feature wooded surroundings with partial lake or creek views.
Swimming opportunities: Salt Fork State Park Campground offers a large designated swimming area specifically for campground guests. "The park is well cared for but is showing its age. I noticed online that Ohio had set aside $88M for upgrades in 2016. It looks like they have not started yet," notes one visitor about Salt Fork State Park Campground.
Hiking trails: Beaver Creek State Park provides varied terrain with connection to the North Country National Scenic Trail. A reviewer commented, "Direct access to the North Country National Scenic Trail and trails through main park," making Beaver Creek State Park Campground popular for day hikes. The park maintains multiple trail systems ranging from easy 1-mile loops to more challenging 5+ mile routes.
Fishing access: Atwood Lake Park Campground provides shoreline fishing with multiple species available. "Good fishing, clean clean clean. Staff at the marina are very helpful. There is a snack shop and a full restaurant at the marina with great food," reports a regular visitor. The lake contains bass, catfish, crappie and other panfish, with best catches reported in early morning or evening hours.
Private tent sites: Tomlinson Run State Park features secluded tent camping areas with natural buffers. "Most of the sites were pretty private and ours was probably the most private and had a lot of space since we were on the very end of the road/cul-de-sac," notes a reviewer about Tomlinson Run State Park Campground. Sites numbered 38-42 offer the most privacy and are approximately 50-60 feet apart.
Year-round availability: Unlike many regional parks that close during winter, some cabins remain open throughout the year. "I had the most wonderful time on my first tent camping at Raccoon Creek. We made a fire, hiked by the moonlight and swam at the warm lake at night," shares a guest at Raccoon Creek State Park Campground. Winter cabin reservations typically cost 15-20% less than peak summer rates.
Lake views: Waterfront cabin sites at Atwood Lake allow direct water access. "Location, location, location! Grab a lake front spot and just hang out there! The park is in excellent condition and the facilities are just as clean and comfortable," mentions a frequent visitor. Waterfront cabins generally rent for $20-30 more per night than interior sites.
Variable cabin standards: Cabin amenities differ significantly between parks. At Austin Lake RV Park & Cabins, some visitors note extra charges for facilities: "Austin lake offers plenty of fun with the lake. Kayaking, inflatables, beach, but almost anything you want to do will cost you an additional charge. Need to use the bathhouse? Better take quarters... bc the showers are coin operated," warns a camper at Austin Lake RV Park & Cabins.
Reservation windows: Most cabin facilities begin accepting reservations 6-12 months in advance, with holiday weekends filling 3-4 months out. Some parks use a rolling reservation system while others open blocks of dates at specific times.
Limited connectivity: Cell service ranges from moderate to nonexistent depending on location and carrier. "There is no service at all, no matter the carrier," reports one camper about certain areas. WiFi availability is limited to main buildings at some locations and completely absent at others.
Activity planning: Parks near Steubenville offer organized children's programs during summer months. "Very kid oriented!" notes a camper at Austin Lake RV Park & Cabins, where scheduled activities run from Memorial Day through Labor Day weekends. Many parks require pre-registration for guided programs.
Playgrounds and facilities: Multiple recreation areas provide child-friendly amenities. "The park is nice with clean bathrooms and showers. The hiking trails are very well kept," reports a visitor about Tappan Lake Park Campground. Most cabin locations include nearby playgrounds, basketball courts, and open field areas for games.
Budget planning: Family camping requires accounting for activity fees beyond basic site costs. Cabin rates average $75-150 per night depending on size and amenities, with additional charges for extra vehicles, pets, or certain recreational amenities.
Site selection considerations: When booking a cabin near an RV area, request locations away from main roads. "This campground is great for a little getaway. Most sites are spacious! Only downside is you can hear the airport. Not a huge deal though!" shares a Raccoon Creek visitor about ambient noise considerations.
Access challenges: Some cabin areas present navigation difficulties on narrow access roads. "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 a visitor about approaching Austin Lake. Several parks have specific routing instructions that differ from GPS directions.
Seasonal considerations: Late fall through early spring can present unique challenges. "Backing into 44 and 45 would be tricky as well. To be fair any larger RV that came in better know how to get through tight quarters," notes a recent Beaver Creek State Park camper about site access when considering cabin alternatives during off-season periods.
