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!

The campsites had a small bundle of wood for a campfire and they were really well spaced out so you don't feel that you are right on top of the next site. The hot showers and restrooms were well maintained and really nice after falling in on our kayak excursion:) Thanks Shane

A beautiful tent to sleep in that has a great propane heater, couldn't have been more comfortable. Alexander couldn't have been a better host, answered all questions and thought of a ton of little pieces (including coffee and waffles delivered in the morning whenever we'd like over the weekend) that added up to the BEST camp stay I've EVER had. Book this place!

Beautiful cabins. Although the lake house where we stayed was so big it's hard to call it a cabin…read more Gorgeous house with beautiful scenery. Everything you need for a wonderful stay. A grill (2 actually but we only used the one in the patio) a heated splash pool the kids loved. Four bedrooms plus a loft with a pull out couch. Perfect for a married couple and 3 kids. Our daughter fell in love with the loft so we had a spare bedroom that wasn't used. Great kitchen and bathrooms. Plus a little boat house with a fire pit we used to make s'mores. We also used the outdoor fireplace to watch an nba playoff game while the kids were in the splash pool.

If one word could describe our experience at Cherry Ridge Retreat it would be spectacular. Our…read moreexpectations were not only met they were greatly exceeded. We stayed at the Lake House for four nights. The house deserves an award from Architectural Digest. it's simply indescribable how well appointed this house is. I've attached some pics that I think captures the essence of this jewel. The house was clean with lots of extras. The plunge pool is like an oversized hot tub that's over five feet deep. The staff was very attentive and met our every need. We decided to buy two robes since we forgot ours. We texted the office and they delivered them within minutes. The robes were top of the line bath robes that kept us warm on cool nights after soaking in the hot tub. Best robe i've ever owned. We ordered the Italian Night dinner which was in the refrigerator when we arrived with heating instructions. It was a delicious lasagna with a tossed salad and Tiramisu for dessert. Best Tiramisu i've ever had. Wish we had ordered other meals. We loved the outdoor fireplace with a TV under a covered area adjacent to the plunge pool. We made and ate s'mores while watching tv in front of roaring fire. We have stayed in many high end resorts and this retreat was the best we've ever stayed at. It's also a good value. We paid more at other resorts that didn't come close to the luxury we found here.

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. Check it out :)

First time camping in hocking hills and the site checked all the boxes i was looking for. Like the…read morewebsite says it is very close to the state park and is across the street from some adjacent hikes so driving wont be a hassle. The camp is smaller than you would imagine from the website but the majority of sites on the grounds give you the amenities you would need, there is potable water sites sprinkled through the grounds as well as outhouses for men and women across the sites. The main part i enjoyed was how few other campers i saw i have heard that the main state park campground can get crowded but palmerosa does not have that problem at all, when i arrived i was even given the opportunity to swap to a more preferred site upon seeing the options in person (although i cant say this is a ground rule). Speaking to that the staff was wonderful we met one nice gentleman who accommodated us with our questions and equipment and was all around helpful and friendly. Palmerosa also allows horses which i cant speak much to as i didnt do that but we saw one group with two horses and those horses looked happy and the people taking care of them looked satisfied. In my opinion palmerosa is the perfect spot for someone who wants tread the line on primitive camping while its out of the way and secluded but close enough to attractions and town for you to not be far from fun. Thanks for an amazing trip
