Hocking Hills Jellystone Campground

5 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

This family-focused campground sits five miles west of New Plymouth, Ohio, operating from mid-April through mid-October on private land near a lake. The property accommodates RVs up to 30 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections, plus standard amenities like restrooms, showers, and WiFi.

Site conditions vary significantly across the property. Some campsites lack grass coverage, with gravel extending up to 12 feet from RV parking areas. Certain sites function more like driveways or turnarounds, leading to occasional confusion from other guests with golf carts attempting to drive through occupied spaces. The access road can present challenges for some visitors.

Children find plenty to occupy their time here. The property provides free tricycles for riding around the grounds and features a bouncy play area. Vance M. notes the "lake with a trampoline and activities all the time." The shower facilities require some attention but remain functional for guests.

Campers planning longer stays in the region can explore camping destinations outside New Plymouth or visit nearby Lake Hope State Park Campground for additional outdoor recreation options. Reservations are available, and pets are welcome throughout the property.

Guests commonly noted excellent family activities with kids enjoying lake access, trampolines, and constant entertainment options. However, recent feedback indicated serious concerns about site conditions and unprofessional management interactions that detracted from the experience.

Shouldn’t be called Jellystone

Jellystone Hocking Hills Ohio Don’t waste your money! I reserved a full hook up deluxe site with patio. Was supposed to be a level concrete slab. It was not! It was all gravel and dirt. No concrete whatsoever. This deluxe site sloped down so when you had a fire( weren’t allowed to move fire pit) your chairs went down hill and I fell almost every night. They brought in a crushed zone but it didn’t help the situation. Owner told us he would credit us some money back since the site wasn’t as promised, he did not. The playground was a mess. Old and nasty. The jump pad didn’t hold much air, so kids would jump on and sink right o the ground. The mining area was not locked so kids got into the pump and electrical areas which was dangerous for the little ones. YOGI BEAR MADE ONE 15 MINUTE APPEARANCE IN 5 DAYS. The schedule showed daily appearances at least daily if not more than once daily, which is how other Jellystones have been for us. MY GRANDSON was so sad. He had been looking forward to this trip for months, and recalled our prior JELLYSTONE stay at Watts Bar Lake in Tennessee, which was a totally different experience than this awful Hocking hills Jellystone. We repeatedly asked about Yogi appearances and were told“Yogi was busy and maybe he would come tomorrow“. The owner made so many excuses like,“my concrete guy didn’t show up last week” that’s why we didn’t have our concrete level patio site that we paid for. The playground didn’t have mulch cause his guy didn’t show up last week. The jump pad didn’t work right because his guy didn’t show up. The new pool wasn’t completed because his guy didn’t show up. Even the yogi bear statue they show in their picture wasn’t there. The pool they did have was in the owners backyard and you had to drive to it. It was slimed and disgusting. I have never been so disappointed. We drove 4.5 hours to get there specifically so my grandkids could camp at a Jellystone with Yogi Bear around. I don’t know how they are allowed to be a Jellystone, they are definitely not up to par. I’m sure we aren’t the only family to pay jellystones higher prices so the kids could see Yogi and friends daily. I could go on…there really were so many bad things about this place, but I see this review is very long. I will attach some photos

Disappointed. Waste of Money. Rude owners

The site that we are currently staying in is nothing like the pictures online(I am more than happy to share photos.) I contacted the owner, he talked down to me, continually interrupted me and even raised his voice trying to intimidate me. The site has serious concerns. Such as the Nextdoor cabin fire pit is located less than 6ft from where I am suppose to park my brand new truck. There is only gravel, no grass for 12ft outside of our camper. Our site appears to be a driveway or turnaround and numerous ppl have tried to drive through, Esp with gulf carts. I raised my concerns and unhappiness to the owners and they argued and talked down to me. The husband raised his voice and essentially yelled at me basically telling me we could pack up and leave. This has not been a great experience so far and I am not sure I will ever stay at a jellystone or recommend one to anyone in the future.

Nice campground

Jelly stone had just taken over, but you could tell updates were on the way. The shower house needs some attention, but they were usable. Kids really enjoyed everything. Free tricycles to ride around. Bouncy area, lake with a trampoline and activities all the time.
