"Campers consistently praise Lake Hope for its scenic, quiet, and secluded setting — great hiking, a pretty lake, and abundant forest make it a favorite spot. Reviewers repeatedly note clean shower houses/cabins and friendly, helpful staff, while also warning that sites are generally hilly, often sloped or rocky, and not always easy to level."

Planning Tips

    About Lake Hope Campground Sites 1-49; 148-192

    Step back in time at Historic Site #8, where the beautifully preserved Hocking State Forest Cabin stands as a testament to the ingenuity of the 1930s Civilian Conservation Corps. Built by Company 505—one of Ohio's first CCC camps—from American Chestnut timber and local stone, this rustic cabin once housed the young men who transformed these public lands during the Great Depression, sending most of their modest pay home to support struggling families.
