Stayed 2 nights at camper cabin in April. Lake Hill Cabins runs the campground and boat rentals. The prices advertised on their website are not accurate. Expect to pay about 25% more. The cabins are supposed to have solar lighting. There is a handwritten sign saying the lights don’t work taped to the light switch.
RangerThe go to camping location for Athens. Many campsites, trails, and amenities. Anything from boat rentals, a small store, and docks to use near the lake. Strouds also has a beach with a volley-ball net! All walking and biking distance from most of the cabins.
Guide
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.
Guide
We have stayed here a couple of times in a tent and a class a motor home.
The campground is pretty secluded but beautiful rolling hills. While the site we stayed in with the motorhome was fairly level, sites are mostly small and tight on hilly terrain. That said, I would still recommend this as a nice weekend getaway
One of our visits was during hunting season and both the campground and the cabins were mostly being used by hunting parties.
This is also close enough in proximately to serve as an alternative camping area for visiting Hocking Hills
Guide
many electric sites,usually busy, some rustic tent sites, 3 camper cabins in park. some shower houses . state park also offers cabins that sleep 6 with amenities also hike in campground in area.
GuideWe have camped here in tents, pop up camper, cabins, backpacking the nearby Zaleski State Forest and most recently, in our travel trailer. It is our favorite State Park that we have camped at. The campground has been recently updated, new pavement on the road and in the campsites. The nature center runs a lot of programs, including hand feeding hummingbirds, Christmas trail of lights, movies, hikes and more. The dining lodge is excellent food, the Sunday Brunch is great and they have a wood fired pizza oven. The lake has kayak, canoe, peddle boat and other rentals. The swimming area is large for a state park and has a small playset. Trails to suit all ages and experience levels. Moonville tunnel and rail trail is nearby. The front shower house is closed for remodeling, however, there are very nice flush toilets near the camp office and a shower house at the back section of the campground.

It was wonderful for our RV and family staying in their beautiful cabins
Guide
What a nice campground. Pool, cabins, things for the kids, beautiful hiking trails and waterfalls.
Guide
Great cabin with a lot of room for family. Easy access to the water for a fun-filled day off boating.
LegendWe stayed on the campsites next to the shower house by the pool. We were actually on one of the sites that used to be the old camper cabin. They have cleared away the old cabins including the concrete pad they sat on. We noticed that those old camper cabin sites only had 30 amp, no 50 amp. There is no shade on the site we were on, something to think about in the summer. The new camper cabins were across from us and looked very nice. We were camping with three other friends and were next to one another, two sites on one side and two on the other. This left a really nice large green space in between us that we were able to set up three e-z up tents together. The campground was busier than we thought it would be, but the traffic light up and down the road. The shower house was clean, has three flushable toilets and I think three shower stalls. The parking lot down by the main trail entrance was packed on the weekend. If you didn't get up early to hike, you were sharing the path with a whole bunch of people. In the winter season, the other side of the campground is closed (left at the top of the hill), but there are still plenty of spots to choose from. The pool was redone last year, but I don't think it ever got used due to COVID and I would imagine it will be busy this year.

Nice place to rent or bring your own boats . Staff is great and they have cabins available. Nice showers and restrooms
GuideNice lake lookout from lodge, smaller separate cabins are available. Lodge has good food with a view, and boat docks are available at the end of a trail behind the Lodge.
RangerWe stayed in a Sherman cabin; it included two sets of bunk beds, a mini fridge, microwave and a/c. The pool was clean (tho' unheated) and showerhouses well-maintained. We were glad we stayed in the cabin because it rained heavily while we were there and many sites had standing water. The tent section is very hilly and you may need to be creative with your set-up. We loved the close location to fantastic hiking trails. Take your kids to the pencil sharpener museum while visiting Hocking Hills; it won't take long (it's only one room) and you can gather info at the visitors center next door while you're there.
ScoutThe park has nice camp sites, cabins if you like that kinda thing! But watch out for the FOG on the lake at night!!!!¡ It gets so bad you can't see past the end of your boat!!¡!!¡

This campground seems more geared towards small campers and cabin stays. Though tent sites are on site. It's located right off rt. 35. They have a campground office as well as a good shower house.
ScoutWe have returned to this camp ground four times! Everything is quite outdated especially the park and mini golf. With that said it was a great time. It has mini golf, a pool, park and small game room which is awesome for camping with kids. It offers rustic cabins for those that dont tent camp or have a rv. On this particular trip it was chilly and we were staying with small children so we went the rustic cabin route. There's a small pond for fishing and a church from the 1800s and all together a beautiful place to walk around. 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.
GuideThis place is amazing!! so much to do and see! All the views are beautiful. I had such a great time there and i wished i could’ve stayed longer!! There’s also some great cabins if you’re not a tent person!!
Traveler
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.
RangerThis campsite kind of reminded me of the movie The Cabin in the Woods. It was woody and felt exactly like what a forest would feel like. There is a lake and the staff is pretty helpful. There is hot clean showers which is always a good thing
ScoutThis is a gorgeous park with deep caverns, changing terrain and drop offs at the paths. I will wait to take my grandkids when they’ve grown stable, obedient and careful enough to not worry about a deadly fall. My favorite by far! We have also stayed in the furnished cabins and they are also pretty awesome.
RangerMy family and I used to visit Burr Oak occasionally when I was young. In regards to what to do, activities center around the large lake. There’s an awesome lake with hiking, backpacking, and other forms of water recreation. Wildcat Hollow is another awesome location that is not far away. Overall is a good location, but nothing extremely special. However, there are a lot of lodges and cabins nearby.
TravelerBest kept secret in Hocking County! Located on the Hocking river the sites are very Private and not on top of each other. Aaron and Cindy are awesome people and make you feel very welcome. We have been camping and Kayaking/canoeing here for years. Nice facilities well kept and super reasonable prices. Cabins are super quaint and clean We stay here even when not using the river.
ScoutMy family stayed at the Cedar cabin over Labor Day weekend (September 2021). We were very excited to stay, play all the games offered, and have a relaxing weekend. Our experience was anything, but that. The cabin smelled so bad that we could hardly stay inside. It smelled like a mix between musty, mold, and bad cleaner. In fact, this ended up aggravating my son's asthma to the point where we had to check out early. We inquired about a refund and never got an answer until a month later(which they declined the refund request). The place was so dirty and nasty that we had to clean the dishes and all the counters before we even unpacked. The putt-putt course was closed, half of the arcade games did not work, and our firewood was stolen when we were exploring the area. The"prizes" you could redeem your tickets for were the cheapest toys I have ever seen. I was tempted to give my kids$10 each and go to the dollar store to get some"real" toys. We paid nearly$600 for the weekend and definitely did not get our money's worth. Please, please, please, please DO NOT stay here ever.
LegendA review I forgot to post! We usually camp at Hocking Hills State Park each Thanksgiving and 2019 was no exception. We had site #80 which is the electric site on the end of the old camper cabins. It has more green space (when it's not muddy) and is close to the bathrooms. It is also across from the three new camper cabins. Besides being a wet and cold Thanksgiving, the park is still a great place to visit. The restrooms have flush toilets and showers. It's a good size, but can get pretty messy during their busy season. They also have a washer and dryer (one of each). The campground is big enough to walk and if you want to venture into the trails you can go past the swimming pool and towards group camp. When you get down the hill you arrive at Rose Lake and take the trail from there. Now with COVID-19 they are routing the trail system to be one way (I think). The campground is currently closed, but was scheduled to open in July. The best time to go in my opinion is in the fall in the middle of the week... you miss the crowds and get to see the changing leaves.
LegendThis place is off the beaten path, meaning that you probably will lose cell service getting to it, so make sure you have general directions. We have Verizon and had no cell service while there (which was pretty nice actually). We stayed in a primitive (no electric no water) tent site just down the hill from the campground set a little bit off into the woods. It was certainly private, with only one set of tent campers about 100 yards away. Bring your bug spray for sure! (We stayed in June.) Game barn for kids, there's also a pool that we didn't make it to. There are RVs off in the distance as well as cabins. Cabins didn't look well kept. Beware: there are TONS of raccoons, as in dozens and dozens that like to roam around at night. They were fine, just curious and woke us up with their communication a few times at night. They will come right up to the tent and sniff and touch the tent, so don't be concerned. They're just very active at night. My guess is people have fed them and/or garbage is not always secured. Showers and bathrooms were subpar. I still used both but some showers weren't in working order. We would like to come back to this area and explore Hocking Hills more, but would probably try out a different campground.
