Recently spent a week here when visiting Hocking Hills State Park…read more This is the best campground I have ever experienced. The sites are large with beautiful views, and the entire campground is very clean and well kept. The shower rooms are wonderful: private and very clean. Definitely the best showers I have ever seen at a campground. The showers are like hotel showers! There are RV sites, tent sites, and also cabins available. The sites and amenities are much nicer here than the nearby state park campgrounds. It is an easy drive to the state park, to the marina, and also a beach just a mile down the road. It was very quiet at night. A peaceful camping experience. A Walmart is only a mile away, and a great Mexican restaurant is across the street. This is a perfect location and we will definitely stay here the next time we are visiting Hocking Hills. Highly recommended!

Salt Creek Retreats is a 40 acre camping retreat, with only two rentable sites; a cabin and a yurt…read more Recently, my friends and I stayed at the yurt. A Yurt (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yurt), if you're wondering, is traditionally a Mongolian tent. But the type at Salt Creek is of the more modern North American variety, made with parquet floors and plastic coverings. It has sleeping room for four, with a double bed and a set of bunk beds. There's also a folded up futon underneath the bunk beds if needed. The yurt also has a gas space heater, large kitchen trash can, table, and a cabinet fully stocked with a variety of camping essentials like matches, first aid, baby wipes and instant coffee. Outside, the spacious camp is just as well set up. As you drive up the dirt path to the site, you'll first see solar showers that are usable during the summer, then an outhouse. Ten feet down from that is the main site. On the right side of the road is a hammock, a wood picnic table, the yurt, and then an air chair. On the left, a huge hutch of fire wood, a big steel fire pit, a barbecue, then two more camp tables under a big canopy. Behind the yurt side structures is a thick woods, while behind the fire pit side is a medium-size creek. There is a large supply of pots and pans, hanging spoons and tongs left for the campers, although much of this is rusting pretty badly, unfortunately. The double pointed hot dog skewers were great, however. This is a truly beautiful camp site, well stocked and designed. A few of the cooking implements being in less that useful shape doesn't take away from all the wonderful stuff that is provided, and doesn't impact the peace and pristine nature around you. A wonderful spot to go relax and get away from it all.

The BEST place to camp in the central Ohio area!…read more I've been coming to the yurt every year for about 5 years. Its fantastic because its: 1) Amazingly Private - secluded in beautiful hocking hills with several miles of private trails, a fishing pond, a scenic overlook, and a river to swim in. No pesky state park rules. Phones don't work here. Leave your crackberry at home!! 2) Doggie Friendly - They love it here! 3) Great for Groups - Sleeps up to 6, with room for many many more in tents. Bring all the kids! 4) Easy as Pie - comes fully stocked with dishes and cooking supplies, pillows, chairs, grills, etc. There's a little store in Laurelville (about 15 min drive) if you need anything (like pie!), and there are some houses nearby if you have an emergency. Consider coming here in the winter - the yurt has a heater, and there's a roof over your head. Or in the spring - to hunt for morels and wild ramp. Or in the summer - to go swimming and use the solar shower. Or fall - to sit under a canopy of color. Thanks Kim for keeping up such a wonderful place!

My husband and I stayed in the green cabin. It was extremely clean and well stocked with all we…read moreneeded. We used the hot tub, the outdoor grill, the gas fireplace, the oven and stove, the keurig coffee pot (pods provided), as well as the toaster and full sized refrigerator/feeezer. I enjoyed the front porch glider and rocking chair too! We walked about 1/4 mile on a wide path to the pond on the property, and took advantage of fishing without a license. It was a short drive ( less than 20 mins) to trail heads at ash cave and cedar falls. We hiked a total of about 11/12 miles from ash cave to cedar falls to old man's cave and back. We enjoyed the hot tub after that! Check in and check out was seamless, as the office was extremely close to the cabins themselves. We highly recommend.

We sat on the porch and listened to the wood thrushes warbling through the woods, and after dark, we sat and enjoyed the quiet and the darkness. All of the amenities were seen to in the cabin, and when I needed something, they came right down with help. The cabin was very clean, and very comfy. We didn't want to leave!! If you are looking for a place to get away from it all, this is the one.

On a whim, my husband suggested we book a sauna pod for a Saturday in January while staying in…read moreHocking Hills. To my surprise, there was still an available time slot so I quickly booked it and waited with anticipation for our time to arrive. We checked in at the front office where we were greeted politely and were given instructions on how to get to, enter and use our sauna pod. The Pods are located right across the street from the Chalets so I was worried at first about having adequate privacy but once we entered the Pod I felt I was transported to the middle of the woods. My favorite part of the Pod was that it was Bluetooth equipped so I was able to play some folk music over the speakers to enhance my woodsy experience. Towels and bottled water are also provided for you in the Pod. We booked an hour, which I thought might be too long in the heat for me personally but after taking the recommended breaks, it didn't feel long enough. We emerged from our Pod soaking in sweat but refreshed and with every endorphin in our bodies firing. It was a fabulous experience!

Having had a fabulous experience with the Chalets in Hocking Hills in the past, I decided to give…read morethem another go to celebrate my birthday for a few days in February. I booked online and the process was really easy. I got reminder emails, a welcome message when it was time to check-in and everything was contactless when I arrived. While I spent a good amount of time outside of my cabin (Laurelwood), I also spent a good amount of time there. It snowed a lot so I soaked up the giant window views, enjoyed the hot tub, and lots of relaxing. My only big complaint was that of the cabin itself. I couldn't figure out what it was but the entire building was just loud. Like so loud, I couldn't sleep. Had I known, I would have brought ear plugs and trust me, I have them thanks to living in the city. Despite not being able to sleep my two nights there, and constant loud ass humming all throughout, the rest of the experience was solid. The space was comfy, included all the necessities, and they even plowed the driveway after the snow. I love coming here and the Chalets are a great choice. I just might ask about the sound issues on my next visit.

There are also some great books and goodies on sale, including a soundtrack cd designed for Hocking Hills, which we're looking forward to checking out - it came highly recommended by the staff.
