We camped here to be close to Athens/OU so that our sons could ride the Athens Skatepark (which is awesome by the way) and my husband and I could ride the Adena Bikeway which begins at the skatepark. This campground was about 25 minutes from Athens and in good proximity to all of the Hocking Hills sites. It is by no means a destination campground, but does have friendly owners and a great family atmosphere. We don't typically join in with the activities, but found ourselves entertained with karaoke night. Most of the sites were shaded and had ample space between them. The bathrooms could use a remodel and a little elbow grease as they weren't the cleanest that I've seen. Overall, we would definitely come back again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is an older campground that has been under new ownership for the last four years. Evidently it was pretty run down at one time, and the current friendly owners have done a lot to clean things up and make various improvements. This was obvious in the restroom and shower building, which was clean when I checked and has seen some upgrades. There is also a small coin laundry in one corner of the building. The location is somewhat out of the way for the usual Hocking Hills attractions but that makes it nice and quiet, and if you don’t feel like driving much this campground could easily be a destination in itself. Very much a family oriented place with lots of planned activities, and a camp store that stocked a lot of candy. They also stock the usual items and night crawlers if you want to go fishing in the pond. The pool was small but clean and fairly modern. The front of the campground is mostly open but with some decent shade trees, and probably your best bet it you have a big rig. The back section has a handful of full hookup sites, mostly occupied by seasonals, and lots of shade. The gravel roads in the back are narrow and winding but in very good condition. One drawback may be that the dump station is back there on one side of a road, with no pull-off or passing lane. No matter where your site is you will probably have to do a little leveling, but nothing outrageous. Tent campers should check out the no hookup sites in the very back which have a nice view over some rolling wooded hills. Note that the price I paid was higher than normal since I was there on a holiday weekend. It is tempting to say that I feel I paid too much for a water and electric site, but then again I could see that my money was being put back into the campground so I’ll consider it an investment for return visits.

We camped here before the season really started and they were just getting things up and running. The owners could not have been nicer though. They are new owners and are doing a lot to fix up the facilities. The sites are not jammed together and are nicely shaded. The electric was being updated while we were there and the sewer was next. The showers were to be next and they do need it. Overall though, the facility was nice and we plan on returning. That is the best compliment that you can give. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
