Cabin rental review: No just no. The rosebud cabin is…read moreabsolutely disgusting. The laminate floor is bubbled up and loose, no blinds on a window and fly stripes hanging in the windows. The mattress are thin and space is tiny tiny. Overall wouldn't recommend this Jellystone site. You have to pay for an additional car (they only allow one at a site), price of wood is higher than other places and you have to pay to do the swimming obstacle course. False advertisement for pool on the premises. Shower house on a Friday evening was ridiculous. The first door was locked to a shower, second one shower head didn't work, and the 4th was draining improperly, leaving one working shower. Would not recommend at all.

Jellystone Hocking Hills is a disgrace to the Jellystone name. We have stayed at several other…read moreJellystone parks and were impressed with the grounds, the upkeep and the professionalism of the staff. You will find none of that here. We discovered a great number of bugs crawling under every single mattress in our cabin. We were moved to another cabin and told that we could stay there for the duration of our stay. The next day, as we were enjoying the region, we were told we could no longer stay and we had to move back to the bug cabin. That was not an option as the cabin was not fit for human habitation. So, we drove 3.5 hours back home a day early as we refused to live like animals. The owner promised to refund us ALL of our money due to the major issues with our stay. However, we only received a partial refund because "the partners" decided that we were not worthy of the full refund because we stayed Friday. I guess we should have packed up our stuff and drove through the night back home. Do yourself a favor and do not fall into this trap. This park should be stripped of it's Jellystone name as it does not meet the brand standards and is an embarrassment to the brand.

You are almost relegated to smaller coves as you try to escape the waves caused by power boats. Not at Lake Hope State Park as boaters are restricted to electric motors only. My wife is all about the well maintained mountain bike trails. We were both all about the small camping pads and many non electric sites. This meant that as tent campers we were not back to back with massive RVs. And our dog was all about all of it, especially since a state park means that he gets to hang out with his pack!  On the down side, there was only one water spigot, one near the check in, that was marked as potable. Perhaps the others throughout the campground are and are not marked. However, we chose to only get water from that spigot. The spigot that was closest to our campsite was way too close to the pit toilet for me to feel comfortable drinking without filtering/boiling.  While we didn't get the chance to actually take our boats off the car, thanks to thunderstorms, we did drive around and find some spots that would work perfectly as put ins. There's a space just off the main road that would work for those who are kayaking, canoeing, or SUPing. The drive to and from LHSP was beautiful, with the visual elevation changes. I loved that it was almost in the HHills area but lacked all the folks (and the restrictions on dogs)! Lake Hope State Park is a place that we will hands down visit again. Although, our first visit there was filled with thunderstorms- we managed to stay dry and camped anyway!

For my short trip to Point Pleasant, West Virginia at the beginning of April in 2023, I had…read moreactually booked another campground who called me while I was in route to West Virginia to tell me that their bathrooms had been vandalized and there were absolutely no facilities available not even a porta potty leaving me no choice but to scramble to find another campground while on the road. Enter Blue Heron Landing to the rescue! Blue Heron is open all year round however their tent camping is sectioned off by the small river and they had not yet moved a potta potty to the river for the late night convenience of hardcore tent campers like me. The owner was so sweet to voice her concerns for me due to April's still chilly temperatures but she felt much better after I let her know I pitch tents in Wisconsin in October. Still worried about a lengthy hike to the bathroom facilities, she gave me an excellent spot with direct access to the cleanest bathrooms/showers I have ever seen! And for reference, I camp all over as a traveling festival performer. The owner also let me set up late after closing which I really appreciated as my travel time had been set back when I had to pull off the road to research a replacement facility last minute. The owner's son came up to my campsite to collect the fee. He politely introduced himself and kept a respectful distance so not to scare me as I set up. I really appreciated that small gesture to make me feel safe. I had gone to West Virginia to scope out Point Pleasant to see if the September Mothman Festival might be a good fit for me. If I decide to add it to my festival circuit the only place I'll stay is Blue Heron Landing. While it certainly wasn't the other campground's fault that they couldn't accommodate me, Blue Heron Landing went above and beyond.

So happy we stumbled upon this little campground. Out of all the campgrounds we visited this summer (including Jellystone in Mt. Gilead), this was the kids favorite. I felt safe letting them ride their bikes and play at the playground. It is close to anything you'd need and about a 25 minute drive to Old Man's Cave. We also had a small issue (which turned into a non-issue) in the beginning with someone else plugged into our 30 amp and the lady at the office couldn't have been nicer and took care of everything right away.

Hocking Hills is one of the best state parks in the Midwest. Whether you are looking for…read morechallenging trails to hike, a campground, or just a scenic spot for a picnic lunch, this state park is the perfect place. The trails are well maintained and range from easy to challenging. The trails are dog friendly, but please pick up after your puppy. My friend and I stayed at a nearby campground for a week and hiked every day with our two dogs. We arrived early in the morning and hiked different trails. Some of the trails are loops and some are out-and-back. A few of them involve steep climbs, rock stairs, or scrambling up rocks, so consult the free park map for details. The visitor center is very nice, and naturalists are available to answer questions and provide recommendations. Restrooms are clean and well maintained. The campground at Hocking Hills tends to fill up quickly, with reservations being made up to six months in advance. If the campgrounds are full, there are several private campgrounds in the area that are very nice. We actually camped at Campbell's Cove and drove the short distance to Hocking Hills State Park every morning.

It almost feels like stepping into another environment entirely, especially knowing the area is dedicated to wildlife conservation. Our campsite was quiet and well spaced out, which made it easy to enjoy the surroundings without constant noise from nearby groups. At night, the sky was incredibly clear, and the lack of city lights made stargazing surprisingly good. Facilities were simple but adequate, which fits the outdoor-focused setting. Everything we needed was available, and the grounds were kept in good condition. The staff we encountered were welcoming and clearly proud of the property, offering helpful guidance about the area. Camping at The Wilds is more than just pitching a tent--it's an opportunity to spend time in a unique natural environment that feels both peaceful and expansive. It's a great destination if you're looking for something a little different from the usual campground experience.
