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.

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.

TravelerGreat view of the sky for stargazing and telescopes at the sites in 40s. Trails are a little neglected though; lots of downed trees and faded blazes. Maybe it’s late in the season, and they will improve in the spring.
GuideWe used Site 53, which is a pull thru. The site was spacious and level. The fire pit location is across a tiny stream; we enjoyed a campfire in the woods! There were no loud folks. The loudest thing we heard was the occasional bark of a dog (which we didn't mind).
The restrooms were new and extremely clean. The staff at the camp store was friendly.
There are plenty of places and opportunities to enjoy Pine Lake: you can sit on a bench or rent a canoe.
We'd love to return to Tar Hollow when the fall foliage is beautiful.
RangerThis campground is located near major roads and within a quick trip to Hocking Hills State Park. Tents spots are located near the lake and provide pine tree shaded cover. Bathrooms are private and very clean!
RangerSites are small - especially the ones with power. Bathrooms are dirty and very worn out. Only 1 of 3 of the mens showers were working. Lots of spiders in the bathrooms and the stall doors don't latch effectively. Camp store (and access to ice) was closed for 'remodel'.
TravelerGreat - close to hiking trails at Hawking Hills state park!
RangerIt’s just beautiful there. Great for bikes. Good camp store, putt putt, bike rentals, camper beach. Easy access to fishing. And there a playground surrounded by a little stream of water that is so cool. New bathrooms are spectacular. Also has family showers.
RangerNot our favorite. Very small campground. Good hiking trails. Decent beach. Very hilly. Shower house was kinda gross.
ScoutGood overnight spot. It could be nice for a local family also. I wouldn’t make it a destination for a long vacation because of highway noise. It’s not horrible closer to the front or in the middle but along the back is where you’re right on it.
Very clean campground and staff was nice. Camp store is cute and there are multiple ponds.
TravelerThe campground was well maintained and it did offer some fun activities for the kids (pillow trampoline, basketball court, mini golf). We stayed in the RV section and although the sites are grassy, we prefer more trees and bigger sites for shade and privacy. This is more of an RV park feel that we prefer. However, it was within close driving proximity to Hocking Hills State Park, which was our reason for booking. So it did the job!

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.

Late season availability: Lazy Dog Camp Resort (formerly Yogi Bear) remains open through cooler months. "Had a good time here with family.
