Each cabin has electricity and air conditioning, with a front room containing chairs, a bench, and table. "The cabin is about 10 x 20. The front room has two chairs a bench and table and the air conditioner. The second room has four single bunk beds," noted a recent visitor.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Shawnee State Park Campground and Twin Knobs Recreation Area provide cabin options with varying amenities. Most cabins require advance reservations, especially during summer months when availability becomes limited. Some locations like Carter Caves State Resort Park Campground allow pets in designated cabins for an additional fee. A camper described their Zilpo experience: "Nicely maintained. A bit on the small side but good for a place to lay your head. This cabin is directly opposite the restrooms for this loop."
Most cabins include basic furniture but require visitors to bring their own linens, pillows, and sleeping bags. Kitchen facilities vary significantly between locations, with some offering only outdoor fire rings with cooking grates while others provide indoor kitchenettes. Pike Lake State Park cabins feature functional kitchens with more extensive amenities. Camp stores at locations like Sandy Springs Campground and Shawnee State Park sell essential supplies, firewood, and ice. Grocery options require driving to nearby towns, as most cabin campgrounds near Stout are situated in relatively remote settings.

RangerAlways great time here. The upper part has more wooden areas then the lower part. But those spot are close to the lake. They a great playground. They have a big camp store with a putt putt, big lake we’re boating, fishing and kayaking. Multiple shower houses very clean kept up. Nice campground to ride bikes around.
ScoutClean, well thought out and maintained. Level, full hook ups nearly new. This is s family campground that treats you like family and is doing everything possible to make you want to come back again. Forty sites, plus few cabins, first row ten cabins ohio riverfront. All sites level, gravel and easy for big rig/fifth wheel/Travel trailer. Even Adirondack chairs each site sitting high on the riverfront sites—thoughtful. Topped off with a bald eagle perched 25 yards in front or our site this morning. How much more peaceful can this get….
TravelerThe team at this campground was incredible. From check in to check out they were considerate and caring. It was our first trip in our camper and the team made it feel like we were there so many times. Would 10/10 recommend
RangerAlways a family favorite. Smaller sites on upper area. Nice big area for big rv on lower level and by the lake. Nice shower rooms. Camp store. Nice playground and putt putt.
RangerNice park, when we were there only half park was open( early in season). Great camp store. Nice shower rooms. Hilly. Some stop around us was sloped. But we did love the one with a deck, but your fire ring was down a hill.
TravelerWe love Twin Knobs! We have camped there numerous times - in the Sping, Summer, and Fall. Electric and non electric sites. The campground staff is always a pleasure to interact with, and so kind! Always clean. Most sites are within walking distance to the lake. My only suggestion is I wish they had some playgrounds for small kids.
ScoutThe owners were amazing and were very helpful with everything! It was a beautiful campground and very quiet while also being close to everything we needed. We will definitely be staying again.
TravelerThe Edge Cave Run's Glamping Getaway is a MUST experience on your bucket list!
Beautiful scenery right on the Licking River!
Modern amenities, wi-fi, close to local attractions, comfortable beds. Perfect family getaway!
TravelerCampground is beautiful. Restrooms were very clean.
Mix of hook up and primitive. VERY spacious sites with privacy and space between. Its right on Cave Run Lake too.
Only negative we saw was widowmaker limbs in trees directly above campsites.

Riverside activities: At Sandy Springs Campground, campers can enjoy fishing along the Ohio River and watching barges pass by. "It is so peaceful to watch the river and see the occasional boat or barge go by," notes one visitor who stayed in a riverfront site.
Hiking trails: Across from Sandy Springs, find trailheads leading to scenic routes. "We had a great hike at a trailhead directly across the street from the campground. Took us a little over 3 hours for the entire loop with a 4 year old," shares a family who visited in early spring.
Cave exploration: Carter Caves State Resort Park Campground offers guided cave tours with educational components. "The park has a lot to do, not just the caves. There's tons of waterfalls off the trails, and other things to see. The caves are great to explore as well. Grab a ranger-guided tour and learn something!" explains a visitor.
Disc golf: Rocky Fork State Park features a disc golf course as part of its recreation options. "They did have a mini golf course and a few holes of disk golf," mentions a camper who found limited hiking options but appreciated the alternative activities.
Water views: Twin Knobs Recreation Area offers premium waterfront sites with exceptional views. "We stayed in one of the 'premium' sites, right on the water F19. The view was incredible," shares a recent guest who appreciated the lakeside setting.
Clean facilities: Campers consistently mention well-maintained bathrooms as a highlight. "The shower houses and bath house was clean and warm!!" notes one visitor to Sandy Springs, while another Twin Knobs camper reported that "the campground was quiet and the facilities clean."
Privacy between sites: Several campgrounds offer secluded camping options. "This campground has some features that are nicer than what is found in many state campgrounds. There are some secluded sites back in the woods, so you don't feel like you are camping in a parking lot," explains a visitor to Shawnee State Park Campground.
Family activities: Long's Retreat Family Resort receives high marks for recreational options. "We've been going here for the last 6 summers with a big group. Everyone always has such a great time and it is the highlight of all the kids summers. The kids can either swim up at the lake (with multiple water slides and a huge floating dock with diving board), the little kids can have fun in the splash pad right at the beach," details a repeat visitor.
Cell service limitations: Many campgrounds in the region have limited connectivity. "There is absolutely no cell service in the Campground. The lodge at the top of the hill has a weak signal, but is better than nothing if you really need to check in with outside world," explains a camper at Shawnee State Park.
Reservation timing: Popular cabins book quickly, especially during summer and Halloween weekends. "We were fortunate to get a river view site which was amazing," mentions a Sandy Springs visitor, suggesting the need to reserve early for premium locations.
Site selection considerations: Campers note the importance of researching specific sites. "You camp on rock sites so it drains great if it rains. The sites are kinda secluded from one another by tree and bush lines," notes a Twin Knobs visitor, highlighting how terrain affects the camping experience.
Water and electrical connections: Several campgrounds have limited hookup options or unusual configurations. "You will need extra water hose and extension cords to get hooked up in a lot of the sites," warns a Carter Caves visitor, indicating the need for additional equipment.
Playground access: Long's Retreat Family Resort offers multiple play areas. "Playground equipment, basketball hoop and various balls, access to the river for fishing, and absolutely stunning views of the Ohio as well as the surrounding hills," lists a Sandy Springs visitor describing amenities for children.
Tent site options: Look for tent-only areas for a more secluded experience. "Unlike many Ohio State parks I've visited, the Shawnee campground has a variety of great tent sites. Several of these are hidden in the trees at the top of some steps and up a short path. If you don't mind hauling your gear a short distance from your car, sites like this are perfect," recommends a camper.
Swimming areas: Campgrounds with beaches provide family-friendly water access. "They have a nice store, restroom and shower facilities and they even have a small menu that they can prepare and bring to your site including a delicious chocolate chip cookie desert!" reports a Sandy Springs visitor, noting additional conveniences for families.
Site length accuracy: Verify actual site dimensions before booking. "We were told that the site we'd been assigned was room enough for 52'. Our RV is only 34' so that would be more than enough. We got there and it was maybe 20-24" in length, with no wiggle room because one end was the park road/driveway, the other end a hill," cautions an RVer who stayed at Shawnee State Park.
Full hookup availability: Ashland Huntington West KOA and Rocky Fork State Park offer full hookup sites. "Nice campground, electric but no water at the sites. Lots of good tent or small camper spots, but be selective if you have a camper bigger than 25ft. I recommend site 82, 83, 85, or 78," advises a Rocky Fork camper.
Weather considerations: Campsites with gravel pads provide better drainage during rain. "Our campsite (A-30) drained the rain off really well. The staff are constantly working to keep everything clean and repaired. We had two campers on the site lined up on one side. One is a 22 ft. and the other a 37 ft. We had plenty of room on the campsite," shares a visitor to Shawnee State Park.
