Free campground! I…read morewas a little skeptical when hearing there was a free campground in this state forest but the reviews seemed really good so we decided to make it a stop on our way to West Virginia. The road to get to the campground was winding and very dark but when we arrived we saw a beautiful campground with paved spots. There are no amenities with only a vault toilet and water pump. Still the sites were nice and large. You pass several shooting ranges on the way to the campground. There is also a trail that loops around the campground.

This site is free! Hidden Hollow, in Fernwood State Forest, is one of three free Ohio campgrounds…read morewithin a half hour drive. Here are trash bins, fire rings, and picnic tables at each site, plus a well-blazed trail edging the campground. There are pit toilets in the center of the ring that do smell like free campground pit toilets, but they are far enough from the campsites that you'll be okay even on a hot summer day, especially if you're a ping with a self-contained unit. Our site had a great mix of field and tree cover with raspberries or other bramble fruits lining the campground. Hummingbirds, cardinals, nuthatches, and a concert of fireflies were fun to watch. The free part is especially good since there are pigeon, rifle, and handgun target ranges outside the camp loop, and you do hear them even on a Monday. And first thing Tuesday morning. This is a dry campground in every way so bring your own water. If you aren't target practicing, use your red cup and don't act like a rookie. About half the sites were in use the Monday night we stayed. Despite the ballistic sounds, the camp loop was quiet, and we had a very restful stay.

Our family is used to rustic-style tent camping; however, we decided to shake it up a bit and try a cabin. When searching for campsites, we saw that these new, modern cabins were available and decided to give them a try. All I can say is WOW!!! These cabins blew us away, from their architecture to the amenities we were provided, they felt luxurious. Closer to an AirBNB than a cabin. We didn't need half of what we packed, as provided for us were towels, pots, pans, utensils, silverware, dinnerware, potholders, firewood, etc. We stayed in cabin 1 and were able to bring our 2 dogs with us. They had a blast walking around the campsite (we walked down the RV and tent camping areas too). While there is limited wi-fi in the cabins (doesn't quite reach the bedrooms) and satellite TV, there is no cell service. For us, this was ideal as we enjoy disconnecting from technology for a bit, but we wanted to share in case this would concern anyone looking to stay. When leaving, you can use the provided broom and dustpan to straighten up a bit. We left any used towels in the bathroom, returned all dishes to their respective places after cleaning, and took our trash to the dumpster. If you have time, we highly recommend checking out the Appalachian Hills Visitor Center for the bison, Big Muskie, and The Wilds! Overall, we had an amazing time, and we are already planning our next stay! This cabin may have made "glampers" out of this rustic family!

We stayed at the new (April 2026) Frank Lloyd Wright style cabins. The 2 bedroom cabins are…read moregorgeous! There are 10 cabins and each appear slightly different. All have similar design and unique artistic flair. Fully furnished, nice comfortable furniture and they thought of almost everything. The kitchen had most everything you might need. Missing paper towels/napkins, wine glasses, ice cube trays, grill utensils. Our cabin, # 8, had nice bedrooms, comfortable beds and linens. Closets but no hangers. Bathroom modern and spacious. Plenty of towels but no shower soap or shampoo, so be sure to bring your own. A little odd that a couple of hall windows facing the parking lot had no window coverings. Two bedrooms share a bathroom so you had to walk through the hall to access bathroom, right past the viewing windows. Covered outdoor dining area was super nice. The only downside was there wasn't much to do. We were hoping for nice hiking trails in the park but they don't have developed trails. There may be some a short drive away but the ones we tried were not well kept, narrow with lots of poison ivy. Fairly close to The Wilds so it would be a great place for families to stay. They do have two pickleball courts, and a basketball hoop. No pool. WiFi in cabin but cell service is sketchy while driving through the area. Be prepared and download directions and info before you leave the cabin.

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.
