Jackson Lake Park offers basic cabins with queen beds and twin bunk beds, small bathrooms with toilets and showers, and kitchenettes with microwaves, sinks, and mini-fridges.

A reviewer mentioned, "For $175, it was a basic cabin with a queen bed and 2 twin bunk-beds, a very small bathroom with a toilet and shower, and a small kitchenette with a microwave, sink, and mini-fridge. The cabin was somewhat dirty - dust on the floor and spider webs in the corner. It had no bed linens, or towels."

    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

    Jackson Lake Park

    Campground with Water Park

    I stayed at this campground because they hosted a wedding I attended. I chose to stay in a cabin, which was pretty pricy for what it was. for $175, it was a basic cabin with a queen bed and 2 twin bunk-beds, a very small bathroom with a toilet and shower, and a small kitchenette with a microwave, sink, and mini-fridge. The cabin was somewhat dirty - dust on the floor and spider webs in the corner. It had no bed linens, or towels, and the bathroom didn't even have a mirror.

    There is a "lake" (more of a large pond) on the property, with fishing, and large inflatables to play on in the summer. There is also a disc golf course. The nearby town Lithopolis is cute, with some local coffee and dining, as well as antique shops.

    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.

    Buckeye Lake-Columbus East KOA

    Kabin 7 and Kabin 11

    The KOA was what one expects of the KOA lots of features and not very secluded. The Kabins were lovely.  

    The design is nice as the bunk beds are in their own separate room. This means the back room will sleep four individuals. They also included little tables and benches so you can organize yourself in the room.  The front room has a large bed that sleeps two.  Then outside is the picnic table.  Due to health code rules you have to cook and do food outside of the cabin.  

    Our first cabin some of the light bulbs were dead and as a result they moved us to another cabin. Problem solved. 

    The bathrooms were very clean and the folks at the camp store were very helpful. I will say that my friend that took a shower was frustrated as one shower was scalding hot and the other was cold.  The floors were slippery as they didn't have a way to stop the water from going beyond the shower (no rim or lip).  She didn't get to use the Family Shower as you have to get the key from the store.  Shower time was usually before bed time with two little ones as they would get dirty playing during the day.  Since the camp store closes at 8 PM she would just use the standard shower with her kiddos. We thought this was a great feature and would have liked to get a look at the family shower set up. 

    At the camp store, they would drop off the wood via golf carts as you purchased it.  I was able to buy three bundles for $18.00 as it is cheaper that way.  I also purchased two bags of ice.

    The cabin was fun and we were able to keep our trip simple by packing less due to the cabin.  Buckeye Lake State Park is close by and if you don't have a boat they really don't have a lot to offer non-boaters unlike other lake state parks.  We didn't see any trails.  We did go to the "beach" but opted not to swim. Our time was spent at the near by Dawes Arboretum and Newark's Earthworks (mounds). 

    **Will try to come back and upload more photos and videos later as tonight many of my posts are not fully uploading.

    Paint Creek State Park Campground

    Premium sites are

    We paid extra to have a "Premium" site, which meant we got a deck. That deck held our picnic table,  but there was no room to put our camping chairs. And though we were close to the lake, you could not see it through the trees. We could barely get out of our trailer and into the driveway without falling into a ravine. The fire pit had to be put on the back side of our trailer next to the road as that was the only spot it could fit. We were told to check out other sites in case we want to come back. Ha. The staff knew no one who had ever been here would ever take this site! But... we won't need to check out other sites as we'll never come back.

    Cowan Lake State Park Campground

    Just plain nice

    Although it’s quite a bit off the main road, it was a nice place to stay. Gate was manned when we arrived just before 8:00 pm. Clerk told us to book online once we picked our spot, as she had just closed the register. We just chose an open spot that was level as we could see in the dark. Weary from a day of travel, we put our heads on the pillow and were fast asleep. Shortly after 9 we heard several rounds of gun shots; that was alarming because it was well after sunset. All in all it was a nice spot with electric only. Several gray water dumps were situated throughout the campground. Dumpsters were full from I’m sure what was a busy weekend of fall camping. The lake was beautiful with ability to rent kayaks. Frisbee golf was onsite too. Commissary for ice and basic sundries, with playground nearby. We didn’t visit the bathhouse, so I’m unsure of it’s condition. Tenant sites with no electricity were down by the lake. Cabin rentals were in a separate spot, off the lake. All in all, in was a nice place with lots of things to do. More of a destination park, for sure.

    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.


Guide to Williamsport

Cabin camping near Williamsport, Ohio offers diverse options within the gently rolling Appalachian foothills region. Most rental cabins sit at elevations between 800-1,100 feet, experiencing mild summers with occasional thunderstorms and colorful fall foliage from mid-October through early November. Winter cabin rentals remain available at several parks when temperatures typically range from 20-40°F.

What to do

Hiking trails access: At Pike Lake State Park Campground, trails vary from beginner-friendly to moderate difficulty through hardwood forests. "We hiked the Greenbriar and CCC Trails. They are not too challenging but beautiful. Parts of the CCC trail were overgrown with briars and narrow," notes Leon H.

Fishing opportunities: Many cabin locations provide lake access for fishing. At Tar Hollow State Park Campground, "Pine Lake is a beautiful little spot to fish, rent a paddle boat, or just relax. There is also a pretty spacious beach area," according to Lisa S.

Seasonal naturalist programs: Several parks offer educational activities led by staff. At Hocking Hills State Park Campground, "The rangers and naturalists have many activities going on and are very knowledgeable," explains Kate W.

What campers like

Cabin privacy levels: Site selection significantly impacts privacy. At Tar Hollow, "The north ridge campground is in an entirely separate area of the park than the RVs and there aren't many campsites, so in that way it feels a little more remote and secluded," reports Sydney.

Camp store amenities: Most parks maintain well-stocked stores for essentials. At Paint Creek State Park Campground, "A winter camping gem! Heated bathroom with showers are available for winter campers at Paint Creek State Park. An excellent disc golf course, hiking and beautiful lake views," writes Jody R.

Lake recreation options: Several parks feature small lakes with rental equipment. At Pike Lake, one visitor mentioned, "There is a small pond/lake that has a beach you can kayak or canoe and fish (renting them is an option)," shares Shannon G.

What you should know

Water access limitations: Some cabins require planning for water. At Jackson Lake Park, "The water hook ups were accessible through a hole/pipe and we had to 'fish' down to connect our hose," notes Chris C.

Bathroom facility conditions: Quality varies significantly between parks. At Pike Lake, "They have 79 sites plus a group site and they only have 4 flush toilets and 1 pit toilet to service all of them. None of the sites were full hook up so everyone had to use the four bathrooms," explains Kristin L.

Cell service gaps: Many cabin areas have limited connectivity. At Tar Hollow, "There is no cell service. Be sure to give anyone who may need to contact you a heads up," advises Sydney.

Tips for camping with families

Playground proximity: Consider site location relative to play areas. At Pike Lake, "Site 57 - this site backs up to the ravine and is nice and large... right across the site is the playground. It's a little noisy but if you have kids, it works," notes Shannon G.

Entertainment options: Some parks offer additional activities beyond nature. At Deer Creek Camping Resort, "Great time! Has fishing, kayaking, golf cart trails, volleyball set up, basketball court, swimming pool and super nice cabins," reports Kelly W.

Site flooding potential: Some areas drain poorly during rain. At Pike Lake, "It rained quite a bit and many of the sites got flooded. The ground here doesn't drain well," warns Bob M.

Tips from RVers

Pull-through accessibility: Some parks accommodate larger rigs with easier access. At Alum Creek State Park Campground, "We enjoyed a full hookup site. An added bonus is the addition of several full hook up sites!" notes Sandy O.

Site leveling challenges: Be prepared for uneven terrain at some parks. At Hocking Hills, "Ironically, we stayed at the worst campsite there, it was downslope, and they had recently cut down many trees and the site was a muddy mess. Every single other campsite (and we drove the whole thing) they were perfect," shares Meghan H.

Seasonal site booking: Some premium locations require advanced planning. At Alum Creek, "Most sites are booked by seasonal campers who pay for the whole season... so all the choice sites (ie lakefront) are always taken. From what I've been told you might be able to get into one if you book the whole season a year in advance," advises Catherine.
