We would have stayed longer (due to the rains we lost some hiking time) but with no WiFi and weak cell signals and no safe bike lanes to ride to town, we decided to move on … But, we’ll be back someday for more hiking In wonderland. It’s a locals paradise, a meeting place, sacred ground … There is a two-week maximum stay, and we learned that in summertime many Ohioans will go home after the two-week stay, restock groceries and return to camp. We highly recommend this exciting new brewery and wish them well.Įven with mud slicks and power outages (due to heavy rains), we consider the $30 per night camping fee to be fair since Hocking Hills State Park has no entry fee. Great entertainment is offered several nights a week. Our favorite haunt for refreshments was Brewery 33, and their top-notch IPA and Saison. Hocking Hills Moonshine, locally distilled, offered a different take an old-time refreshment.
HOCKING HILLS STATE PARK FREE
At the ranger’s office – down the hill near the entrance – a cell booster is offered free to guests and can be accessed from outdoor cafe tables and chairs. Some sites had a poor to moderate signal – most had no service at all. We also appreciate that the park staff gave us permission to receive shipments from Best Buy and Amazon – so important for full-timers.Īll that said, we’ve come to expect weak cell service. Local residents served as camp hosts and this arrangement may explain the home town pride and dedication felt throughout the park.

We have few complaints about Hocking Hill State Park.

There’s a new laundry and shower building in the parking lot near the pool. The park has several shower facilities located throughout – some newer than others. Throughout our thirteen night stay from July 23-August 5, the sites were mostly full.īecause we were walk-in campers (arriving on a Sunday morning) and allowed only an electrical unit (no water or sewer) we used the showers to save our water. This campground is spread out over rolling hills, so some sites are more isolated while others are rather crowded.

The asphalt padded sites can accommodate up to a 50′ unit.
