This is a update review from the one I did 5 years ago. First off they now have about 45 full service sites, and 151 total. A brand new pool was put in the last year or so. But, to my disappointment the road from the check in station at the bottom of the hill to the actual campground on top of the ridge is still very narrow with totally blind corners. You have to pray no big rigs are driving down as your driving up. Yes there are 40/45' rigs that make it up. The campground is very busy in general. As far as size of sites I would say its below average. The closest sites seem to be the middle section. So, pay very close attention when reserving. There also tended to be the habit of people parking there extra vehicles in the street part way, thus having to be very careful going around. Most of the sites tended to be very worn out as far as the grass being dead, a lot of mud puddles from so many vehicles parking in the grass, site pads that cause you to back in 4-5' into the apron to get into your paved site. The park just opened a new visitor center rivaling a national park style you might find at a national park. Because of Covid, a good deal of the trails are one way. It reality just makes everything flow better. Even with the visitor center parking lot being huge, there is no room for RV's on the weekends. You might sneak one in during the off hours on the week days. Did I say the park in general is very busy. Yes, its very busy. The dining hall that burnt down 4 years ago, is being rebuilt, and should be done next year. Now it will include a 88 room lodge too. One final note. There are not a whole lot of places to eat out at the state park. You need to go into Logan 10 miles away for restaurants. The Olde Dutch Restaurant in Logan is our favorite.

If you are a camper seeking some quiet reflection in nature avoid the Hocking Hills State Park camp ground. We had hoped for some peaceful camping during an early June week. But the explosion in full service RV “camping” has resulted in fully booked camp grounds all week, every week, even in Ohio. Reservations are now required long in advance just to get a site after Memorial Day. Not one of the recently upgraded Ohio state park campgrounds the Hocking Hills camp ground resembles central city neighborhood. Bicycles and toys strewn about RVs angled in the closely packed camp sites looked like a highway rest stop lined with tractor trailers. The din of the generator for the “water treatment plant” (read sewerage plant) just down the hill from our site, number 30 sounded much like city traffic all through the night. The sewerage smell became obvious as the light breezes on a hot, humid day stilled. Not overpowering but still there. Hocking Hills is a popular spot for Ohioans seeking to escape the state’s larger cities. The camp ground also has a swimming pool. Parks with pools are always crowded in the summer months but when making our reservations we somehow missed that Hocking Hills has one. As for the rest rooms, too few for so many campers likely under the assumption that campers will use their RV facilities instead. It appears that the method of cleaning them is to simply hose down the entire facility and let it go at that. Not a park we will return to. As fellow campers noted “it’s best to rent a cabin in Hocking Hills rather than to try to camp there”. Finally, Verizon customers beware, cellular data coverage in the park is abysmal everywhere save for the highest hills and then hope for noon more than two bars.

Hocking Hills is one of the most popular Parks in Ohio. The campground sits along a ridge with a few side streets. The check in station is one of the nicest in all the state parks. From the check in station to the actual campsites you go uphill on a rather narrow winding park road with a few very sharp corners. RV's over 30' will have to cheat the center around the sharp corners, because there is no shoulder. There is a full range of sites from level and spacious to un-level ones that are "very" close together. The showerhouses are OK, but can get busy on the weekends. The Hocking Hills area is all about the hiking and caves. Within about a 10-15 minute drive in the Hocking Hills complex you have: Ash cave, Old man's Cave, Rock House, Conkles Hollow and Cantwell Cliffs. The hiking trails are very busy on nice weekends.
