Best Cabin Camping near Wilkesville, OH

395 Reviews

Several cabin options surround Wilkesville, Ohio, with Lake Hope State Park Campground offering rustic cabin rentals near McArthur. Hocking Hills State Park Campground provides electricity and heat in their furnished cabins, while Lake Alma State Park Campground features cabins with varying amenities depending on the site selection. Most cabin facilities include basic furniture, beds, and kitchen setups with refrigerators and microwaves. Bathroom facilities may be shared or private depending on the specific location and cabin type. "Limited full hook ups. Newer, clean shower houses and bathrooms," notes one Lake Alma visitor about the overall facilities.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Lake Snowden Campground offers cabin options with electricity, though reviews indicate some confusion about hookup types, noting that "the website advertises electrical hookups but it fails to mention that some sites on the premises are only 50 amp hookups and not 30 amp and 50 amp." Lazy Dog Camp Resort (formerly Yogi Bear Camp Resort) maintains year-round cabin rentals with pet-friendly options at some sites. Rocky Creek Campground focuses more on cabin stays than other camping types according to reviews. Most locations require advance reservations, especially during summer months.

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary considerably between properties, with some offering only basic amenities while others provide more complete setups. On-site camp stores at locations like Lake Hope and Hocking Hills sell essential supplies, firewood, and basic food items. Many cabins have outdoor picnic tables and fire rings for cooking and dining. Top O' The Caves Campground and Tar Hollow State Park Campground both offer cabin accommodations with varying levels of furnishings. Guests planning longer stays should consider bringing additional cooking supplies and food from larger grocery stores before arriving at their cabin.

    Tar Hollow State Park Campground

    Memorial Weekend 2020

    After being cooped up, we (3 young adults) decided to get out and decided on this campground that was new to all of us. The campground was very low key and made for an easy going weekend! We weren’t too keen on most of the parks amenities, but enjoyed just sitting around the fire the whole time. Pros: -staff was cleaning common areas (bathroom and showers) either once or twice a day -campsite 12 was incredible space and had an added bonus of a deck structure over the creek

    Other notes: -WiFi available, but only right by the main office/general store -no service for AT&T or Verizon -Fire tower not accessible -Lake tested high for a bacteria and swimming is not recommended

    Corona Virus Notes: -only Ice and Firewood available for purchase at General Store -putt putt, boat and bike rentals, and game box rentals not available -nearby Hocking Hills trails were closed

    Lake Hope State Park Campground

    Great Location, Good Vibes, Slightly Slanted Sites

    Stayed over Labor Day Weekend and was pleasantly surprised by the site we got for booking only a week in advance! Would stay again!

    - Many sites are quite sloped and slanted, but this cannot be determined by pictures online. With that said, all sites appeared to have a spot for at least 1 tent cleared away and the picnic table and fire ring in a secure location.

    - Most sites only had room for one car parked at the site

    - Clean pit style restrooms! With running water restrooms dispersed through the campground.

    - Lake Hope was a good size for kayaking (and rentals were open and only ~$10 per person per hour for various boating devices).

    - Fishing allowed anywhere!

    - Cool hiking trails throughout to see caves, The Hope Furnace, and water features!

    - Only ~30-40min from all the must see attractions of Hocking Hills and surrounding area!

    - Camp Store with wood, ice, etc.

    At Boulders Edge Cabin and Tipi Retreat

    Amazing!

    Perfect place for a getaway! They have tipi and cabin rentals. Such a nice place tucked away that isn't as over crowded as other places.

    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.

    Huntington / Fox Fire KOA

    Party Central

    We enjoyed our stay at Huntington/Fox Fire KOA! This is a holiday KOA that offers more amenities for vacationers. It has very close proximity to I-64 in West Virginia, and you can hear the traffic pretty clearly.

    The staff is wonderful, they obviously care very much about their jobs and we enjoyed talking to them. They keep the property very clean which is saying a lot because it’s a very busy park. Each day we watched the park nearly empty and by sundown it was mostly full again. On the weekends it was full to capacity, and it’s occupants were out enjoying their time!

    There is: great cellular for TMobile and AT&T, laundry, dog walk area, storage, cabins, a store, a swimming pond, small beach area, and some sites have fire pits. The picnic tables were pretty dated.

    The hookups are a little strange. You share pedestals in many of the sites. And the arrangement is a little strange but it works.

    Huntington / Fox Fire KOA

    This KOA is a Keeper

    This is a very cozy park tucked in between US60 and I64. We are in site 14 and its not quite level, but they were generous with gravel so the drainage is good! No parking in puddles!The staff is great, friendly, upbeat. The gentleman who led us to the site helped us get positioned, and squared up.The site has a patio, bench, picnic table, fire pit, and a huge gas grill. There is more privacy than usual at KOA, pine trees between sites.Well be back! You do have to watch for the entrance, there is a big KOA sign but its not aligned with the actual turn, so be careful.

    Pine Creek Cabins & Camping Resort

    Cabin stay

    We stayed in one of the small cabins and loved it! Very clean, with thoughtful amenities. Hot tub on the back porch. This cabin also comes with two horse stalls. Bridle trail access right from campground.

    Pops Place Camping

    Hidden gem in Ohio

    I highly recommend pop's place.  I stayed there Aug 2024 and as of that date the rustic tent camping was $20.  This is an ideal base camp for riding your motorcycle on the scenic roads in that area of Ohio such as the triple nickel.  The owners are very nice people and helpful.  The porta john and shower were very clean.  The shower uses an on demand water heater.  The narrow cabin you see in some photos is now a gravel pad for RV type camping with electric.  The wider cabin in the photos is still there, but was currently rented so he couldn't take me on a tour of it.  He took me on a tour of the new cabin he is building and it will be a nice play to stay when he is done.  They sell firewood for $5.  The common grass area has wood lounge chairs, common fire ring, playground,  and cornhole boards.  If you are tent camping and need to charge your phone he has no problem with you using the electric outlet at the RV site if no one is there.  I forgot to suggest to him that maybe add an external electric outlet at the shower house since electric is there for the water heater.  There is a spigot on the outside of the shower house to get drinking water.  There is a basketball backboard near the current cabin if you happen to bring a basketball for your kids to use.  There is good verizon cell service there, I did not expect it because of the location and hills in the area.  I don't hammock camp, but it looked like there were trees far enough apart in the line of pines for hanging 2 hammocks.  One of the photos showed 3 picnic tables for tent campers.  There was only one when I stayed, but I assume it's a temporary or cyclical thing and I was the only tent camper and would have shared it anyway.

    Of note for motorcyclists is that the road the campground is on is paved (good riding to the north of it) and the campground drive is decent gravel for street bikes.

Guide to Wilkesville

Cabin camping options near Wilkesville, Ohio range from basic accommodations to more equipped units in state parks and private facilities. Located in the unglaciated Allegheny Plateau region, these cabins typically sit at elevations between 600-1000 feet with rolling hills and dense hardwood forests surrounding them. Winter lows can reach 20°F while summer temperatures regularly exceed 85°F with moderate humidity.

What to do

Paddle the lake: Lake Hope State Park Campground offers kayak and canoe rentals for exploring their 120-acre lake. "We took a couple of the hikes down by the lake and it was great," notes Kevin F., who enjoyed the wooded shoreline trails.

See the hummingbirds: Visit the Lake Hope State Park Campground nature center for their popular hummingbird feeding program. "The naturalists feed hummingbirds at the nature center. They pull the feeders for awhile leading up to a 'Feed the Hummingbirds' program. So cool! The birds come right to you!" writes Chris C.

Explore historic sites: The region contains remnants of southern Ohio's iron-producing past. "Hope furnace is just outside the campground and next to the first 'put-in' for the lake. As history buffs will know that Ohio was one of the nation's leading iron producers back in the day," explains Dave V.

Hike to Moonville Tunnel: This haunted tunnel from the 1800s provides a unique destination near Lake Hope. "The haunted Moonville Tunnel is nearby and worth the short drive and hike. Unfortunately, it is becoming defaced by disrespectful taggers...still cool nonetheless," reports Dave V.

What campers like

Privacy options: Some Top O' The Caves Campground cabins offer more seclusion than others. "This campground offers awesome views for the sunsets/sunrises, trails on the property that leads to beautiful scenery in the heart of hocking hills," comments Cat, who appreciated the natural setting.

Access to caves: Cabin locations provide good bases for exploring regional cave systems. "The best part is you can walk to ash cave from your campsite! There is a connecting trail right at the front of the campground. It was a fairly simple hike too," shares Kelli W. from Top O' The Caves.

Late season availability: Lazy Dog Camp Resort (formerly Yogi Bear) remains open through cooler months. "Had a good time here with family. Place was straight out of a movie with a mini golf, arcade and small pool. Camp store had a little bit of everything," notes William R., describing the amenities beyond just cabin accommodations.

Water activities: Many cabin locations include beach areas for summer recreation. "Nice little beach area along the lake. Several large pavilions. Playground for the kids. During the summer they set up large inflatable slides and create a makeshift lake waterpark!" describes Lucille W. about Lake Snowden.

What you should know

Cabin sizes vary significantly: Prepare for potentially limited space in some units. "Our cabin smelled so bad that we could hardly stay inside. It smelled like a mix between musty, mold, and bad cleaner," warns Alex about a specific cabin experience at Top O' The Caves.
