Camping near Laurelville, Ohio
Laurelville sits in southeast Ohio at the western edge of the Hocking Hills region, placing RV travelers within a short drive of two of the state's most-visited public land systems: Tar Hollow State Park to the southwest and the Hocking Hills State Parks cluster to the east. Both are managed by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and share a single central reservation system.
Tar Hollow State Park offers a family campground with sunny and shady sites in a wooded, ridge-and-hollow setting. Its two named loops, Ross Hollow - Tar Hollow State Park and Logan Hollow - Tar Hollow State Park, provide the closest developed camping to town. Sites include full-hookup, electric, and non-electric options, along with Sherman cabins for renters who need a hard-sided alternative.
Hocking Hills State Park, roughly a half-hour east near Logan, adds a larger campground next to Old Man's Cave with paved pads sized for big rigs. Walnut Creek Campground and Resort rounds out the local mix as a private option for travelers who prefer full-service amenities.
Things to do around Laurelville
Hiking is the main draw. Hocking Hills State Park links signature trail areas including Old Man's Cave, Ash Cave, Cedar Falls, Rock House, Conkle's Hollow, Cantwell Cliffs, and Whispering Cave, each featuring sandstone gorges, recess caves, or waterfalls. The Grandma Gatewood Trail connects Old Man's Cave, Cedar Falls, and Ash Cave over roughly six miles.
At Tar Hollow State Park, the Ross Hollow Hiking Trail leaves directly from the Ross Hollow camp area as a 3.5-mile moderate loop, and the 21-mile Logan Backpack Trail loops through the surrounding state forest. Pine Lake, a 15-acre lake inside the park, allows electric-motor and hand-powered boats and has a 500-foot beach, with paddleboat, rowboat, and canoe rentals available seasonally.
Bluegill, bass, and catfish fishing on Pine Lake, bridle trails in the surrounding state forest, and seasonal naturalist programs round out the options.

The Hocking Hills camping season peaks from late spring through mid-fall. Wildflowers bloom in April and May, waterfalls run strongest after spring rains, and dogwoods and redbuds color the hillsides. Weekends from Memorial Day through Labor Day book out furthest ahead, and October draws heavy fall-foliage traffic when the hardwood canopy turns.
Summer brings warm, humid weather and full-service operation at both state park campgrounds. The Pine Lake beach at Tar Hollow is monitored under Ohio's BeachGuard water-quality program from Memorial Day to Labor Day. The camp store at Tar Hollow operates seasonally, so off-season arrivals should plan to check in at the park office.
Winter camping is possible. Most Ohio state park campgrounds reduce sites and amenities from November through March, with full-hookup sites limited to electric only during freezing months. Ice formations along the Hocking Hills gorges are a known winter attraction, but trails can be slick and some connecting roads narrow when snow falls.

Connor is very responsive to call and text. No real issues. Everything was great! The camper was clean and roomy even the bed was comfortable! Would recommend. Will definitely get a hold of again if we need to rent again.
Deborah H. - Jul 2026
Great space to spend a weekend away in!!! Will definitely rent again. The host exceeded expectations, space was clean / well stocked and he was accommodating when we ran into some car issues on the way in. Highly recommended.

We loved this pop-up trailer! Found this trailer through a search. I don’t think we could have found a better person to rent from for our first RVezy trip. Stephen was very helpful and speedy in his communication. Everything worked great. AC was a beast and handled Texas heat no problem. The heater worked great for the cold nights in Louisville. Stephen helped us get on our way with a bag of tools and practically everything we needed. We towed this thing with our 2015 Honda Odyssey. I would absolutely recommend renting this trailer from Stephen.
Travis S. - Jun 2024
The Adkins Family pop-up was just what we needed to get outta town and unplug. Stephen did a great job showing us how to set it up and take it down. The pop-up was stocked with cooking supplies and full on propane when we picked it up. It travelled well on the road and was a perfect for for a family of 4. Stephen was a great host and communicated quickly before and throughout the trip. We would definitely consider renting again.

How to book a site near Laurelville
Ohio state park campgrounds, including the Ross Hollow and Logan Hollow loops at Tar Hollow State Park and the main Hocking Hills State Park campground, use a single reservation system. Reservations are required and may be made up to six months in advance online at reserveohio.com or by calling (866) 644-6727. Walk-in campsites and self-registration are not offered.
When booking, filter by rig length and hookup type. Hocking Hills has 47 full-hookup and 122 electric sites with 20-, 30-, and 50-amp service on paved pads, and can accommodate rigs up to 50 feet. Tar Hollow offers a similar mix of full-hookup, electric, and non-electric sites.
Primitive backpack sites along the Logan Trail are first-come, first-served, with registration at the Tar Hollow General Store in season or the park office. Walnut Creek Campground and Resort is booked directly with the operator.
What to expect on arrival
Check-in at the Ohio state park campgrounds is at the camp office or general store, with quiet hours in the late evening through early morning. Tar Hollow provides showers, laundry, flush toilets, a dump station, and a playground, and pets are permitted on designated sites. Cell coverage is inconsistent in the hollows, so download maps before leaving Laurelville.
Roads through Tar Hollow and Hocking Hills wind through steep, wooded terrain. Larger rigs should approach on state routes rather than trusting GPS shortcuts onto township roads. Confirm site dimensions before towing in, since pad sizes vary and some listed sites are best suited to tents.
Expect wildlife including deer, wild turkey, songbirds, and salamanders. Keep food secured and children supervised on gorge-edge trails at Hocking Hills, where cliffs and slick sandstone create real fall hazards.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Laurelville, OH
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Laurelville, OH?
RV rental in Laurelville is one of the most affordable ways to experience Hocking Hills, with most listings on RVezy starting around $90 to $175 per night for travel trailers and $150 to $300 per night for Class C motorhomes. Prices climb during peak fall foliage in October and summer weekends, so booking 2-3 months ahead helps lock in better rates. For a cheap RV rental in Laurelville, look at midweek dates (Sunday through Thursday) when many hosts offer lower nightly rates. Pro tip: filter by travel trailers if you already have a tow vehicle, or pick a delivered motorhome to skip towing entirely and keep costs predictable.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Laurelville%2C%20OhioWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Laurelville?
Good news: a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Laurelville, Ohio. There is no special RV endorsement or commercial driver's license (CDL) required for any standard motorhome, travel trailer, or campervan on RVezy. Approved drivers are generally 25 or older, and RVezy verifies your ID securely through the platform during booking, so there is nothing extra to print or bring to pickup. Visiting from abroad? Pick up an International Driving Permit (IDP) from your home country's auto association before you fly. Once that's done, you're cleared to cruise State Route 56 toward Old Man's Cave with zero red tape.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs rental protection included when I book an RV in Laurelville?
Yes, every RV rental in Laurelville booked through RVezy automatically includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can hit the winding roads around Hocking Hills with real peace of mind. The protection plan helps cover accidental damage to the vehicle, which means a fender bump on a tight forest road or a scratch from a low-hanging branch on State Route 374 won't derail your trip. During checkout, you choose the coverage level that fits your comfort, from standard up to premium options with lower out-of-pocket responsibility. Coverage is built specifically for peer-to-peer RV trips, so you're protected from the moment you pull out of the host's driveway.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if my Hocking Hills plans change? Can I cancel my RV rental?
Absolutely, booking your Laurelville RV trip is low-risk. RVezy applies one consistent cancellation policy across every listing (hosts don't set this themselves), and it includes a full money-back grace period right after booking so you can lock in dates with confidence. Refunds after that depend on how far out your trip start date is, and RVezy also has protections in place for host cancellations, with refunds or travel credits issued to guests. If life throws a curveball, message the RVezy support team through your booking and they'll walk you through your options so you're never stuck guessing.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in Laurelville?
Yes, pet-friendly RV rental in Laurelville is easy to find on RVezy. Just toggle the 'Pet-Friendly' filter when searching and you'll see motorhomes and trailers whose hosts welcome dogs (some allow cats too). Hocking Hills is a dog lover's paradise: leashed pups are welcome on most state park trails including Ash Cave, Cedar Falls, and the rim trail at Old Man's Cave. Hocking Hills KOA and several private campgrounds near Laurelville allow leashed dogs at sites, and there's a dog park in nearby Logan for stretch breaks. Pro tip: message the host before booking to mention your dog's size and breed so check-in is smooth.
ohiodnr.gov/go-and-do/plan-a-visit/find-a-property/hocking-hills-state-parkCan the RV be delivered to my campsite in the Hocking Hills?
Yes, RV delivery in Laurelville is one of the most popular options for first-timers, and it removes nearly every worry about towing or maneuvering on narrow back roads. Many local hosts will deliver and set up your motorhome directly at Hocking Hills State Park Campground, Hocking Hills KOA, or other area campgrounds, then walk you through every system before they leave. Filter listings by 'Delivery' on RVezy to see what each host charges (typically a per-mile rate plus a setup fee). Pro tip: delivery is a game changer in autumn when leaf-peeper traffic on US-33 makes towing stressful for newer drivers.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Laurelville%2C%20OhioHow many miles do I get with my Laurelville RV rental?
Great news: many hosts in the Laurelville area offer generous mileage allowances (often 100-150 free miles per night), and some offer RV rental with unlimited mileage, which is perfect since most Hocking Hills trips stay close to home anyway. From Laurelville you're only about 8 miles to Old Man's Cave, 10 miles to Conkle's Hollow, 12 miles to Ash Cave, and 18 miles to Lake Logan, so you'll rarely rack up serious distance. Each listing displays the mileage policy and per-mile overage rate right on the booking page. Pro tip: if you're planning a wider Ohio road trip from Laurelville to Columbus or Athens, filter for unlimited-mile listings to keep things simple.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Laurelville%2C%20OhioWhich campgrounds near Laurelville should I book for my RV?
You have fantastic options for RV camping in Laurelville and the surrounding Hocking Hills. The best campgrounds near Laurelville include Hocking Hills State Park Campground (electric sites with 20/30/50 amp, paved pads, heated showers, and a seasonal pool), Hocking Hills KOA off SR-664 (full hookups, gem mining, heated pool), and other private RV parks in the area offering full hookups and pull-through sites. Reserve state park sites at reserveohio.com up to 6 months in advance, and weekends from June through October fill quickly, especially for fall color.
reserveohio.com/When is the best time of year for a Hocking Hills RV trip?
The honest answer: October is magical in Hocking Hills, when sandstone cliffs glow against peak fall foliage and daytime temperatures hover in the mid-60s. Late April through early June is the secret-weapon shoulder season, with wildflowers blooming, waterfalls at full volume from spring rains, and highs around 65-75°F. Summer (July-August) brings warm 80-85°F days, lush green gorges, and busy weekends. Winter RV trips are surprisingly stunning, with frozen waterfalls at Ash Cave and Cedar Falls, daytime highs typically in the 30s to low 40s, and far fewer crowds. Pro tip: book your Laurelville RV trip for a Sunday-through-Thursday window in early October to catch peak color without weekend gridlock on SR-664.
weather.gov/iln/I've never rented an RV before. Will I know what I'm doing?
You'll be set up for success even if it's your first time renting an RV. Every RVezy host gives you a hands-on orientation at pickup or delivery, walking you through how to operate the generator, slide-outs, propane, water system, awning, and dump valves so nothing's a mystery. You can message the host before booking with any question, and 24/7 roadside support is included with every protection plan. For Laurelville specifically, ask your host about driving the curvier sections of SR-374 and SR-664 near Old Man's Cave (take it slow and you'll be fine, even in a 30-foot Class C). Pro tip: choose a host with 'Instant Book' and high review scores for the smoothest first-timer experience.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if the RV breaks down during my Hocking Hills trip?
You're covered: 24/7 roadside assistance is included with every RVezy renter protection plan, so a flat tire on US-33 or a dead battery at the Hocking Hills KOA is just a phone call away from getting solved. Help can be dispatched for towing, jump-starts, tire changes, lockouts, and fuel delivery. You'll also have a direct line to your host, who knows their RV better than anyone and can usually troubleshoot small issues (like resetting a tripped breaker on the inverter) over text in minutes. Pro tip: save the RVezy support number and your host's contact in your phone before you leave Laurelville, since cell service can be patchy deep in the Hocking Hills gorges.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat are the best road trip destinations from Laurelville?
Laurelville is a fantastic launchpad for an RV road trip from Laurelville to some of the Midwest's best outdoor destinations. Top picks: Hocking Hills State Park (about 15 minutes south on SR-664), Lake Hope State Park (around 45 miles southeast), Wayne National Forest's Athens Ranger District (about 50 miles), Columbus for a city break (around 55 miles, just over an hour), and Cuyahoga Valley National Park (about 170 miles north, roughly 3 hours). For a longer haul, New River Gorge National Park in West Virginia is around 240 miles southeast. Cross-border trips into Canada are possible with some hosts but require advance approval, and Mexico travel isn't permitted on any RVezy rental due to insurance limits.
transportation.ohio.gov/programs/maps/state-highway-mapWhat should I budget for fuel on a Laurelville RV trip?
Easy to plan for: most motorhomes near Laurelville get 8-12 miles per gallon, while campervans (Class B) often hit 16-20 mpg, and travel trailers depend on your tow vehicle. Ohio gas prices typically run in the low-to-mid $3 range per gallon, with stations clustered in Logan (about 12 miles east on SR-664) and Circleville (around 19 miles northwest). For a typical 4-night Hocking Hills trip with maybe 150 miles of driving, expect roughly $50-$90 in fuel for a Class C. Pro tip: fill up in Logan or Lancaster before heading to your campsite (gas stations near major attractions tend to charge more), and run the generator sparingly at night since most Hocking Hills campgrounds enforce quiet hours starting at 10 p.m.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Laurelville?
Book early for the best pick. Hocking Hills State Park Campground releases reservations 6 months ahead through the Reserve Ohio system at reserveohio.com, and weekend sites from April through October often disappear quickly after opening, especially for October leaf-peeping. Private parks like Hocking Hills KOA accept reservations directly on their websites and tend to have more flexibility, but still aim to book 1-2 months ahead for summer weekends. Pro tip: midweek stays (Sunday-Thursday) frequently have availability even 2-3 weeks out, and shoulder seasons (late April, early November) offer the best of Hocking Hills with more openings.
reserveohio.com/What are the roads like for driving an RV around Laurelville?
You'll be just fine with a little planning. The main routes (US-33, SR-56, SR-664, and SR-180) are well-maintained two-lane highways that handle RVs and tour buses every day. The trickier part: avoid narrow single-lane backroads that GPS sometimes suggests as shortcuts but are too tight for larger motorhomes. When coming into Laurelville from the southwest, locals recommend going through town and turning onto OH-180/56 rather than dropping onto steep backroads with sharp grades. Weather to watch: summer thunderstorms can flood low spots, and winter ice on shaded hillsides means slower going from December to February. Check current conditions on OHGO before you roll.
transportation.ohio.gov/programs/highway-operations/ohgoWhat amenities will I find at Hocking Hills campgrounds?
You'll be well taken care of. Hocking Hills State Park Campground offers paved pads, 20/30/50 amp electric, heated showers, flush toilets, laundry, a dump station, a seasonal pool, and a camp store. Hocking Hills KOA adds full hookups, propane refills, and on-site amenities like a pool and gem mining. Other private RV parks in the Laurelville area provide a mix of electric, water, and full hookups, plus dump stations open to day-use visitors for a small fee. Pro tip: top off your fresh water before leaving the campground since not every trailhead lot has spigots.
ohiodnr.gov/go-and-do/plan-a-visit/find-a-property/hocking-hills-state-parkWhat's actually inside a typical RV rental in Laurelville?
More than you'd expect. A typical motorhome rental in Laurelville comes with a queen or king bed, convertible dinette and/or sofa bed (most rigs sleep 4-8), a full kitchen with fridge, freezer, stove, microwave, and sink, a wet or dry bathroom with shower and toilet, climate control with air conditioning and propane furnace, and seatbelts for every traveling passenger. Many listings include a TV, Bluetooth stereo, outdoor awning, and onboard generator for boondocking. Campervan rental in Laurelville (Class B) keeps it cozier with a smaller kitchenette and pop-top or convertible sleeping. Wi-Fi varies (cell signal can be spotty in the gorges around Old Man's Cave), so check each listing for an included mobile hotspot if streaming matters to you.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Laurelville%2C%20OhioWhat add-ons and pickup options should I know about?
Hosts in Laurelville offer some genuinely useful add-ons to customize your motorhome rental in Laurelville: full kitchen kits, bedding and linen packages, camping chairs and outdoor rugs, generators (sometimes included free, sometimes by the hour of use), bike racks, and propane tank refills. Pickup is usually at the host's home or a nearby meeting point, and many hosts in the Hocking Hills area offer delivery to Hocking Hills State Park, the KOA, or your private destination. Each listing spells out mileage allowance, generator-hour limits, and any pet fees right on the booking page. Pro tip: ask the host about a propane top-off before pickup so cold mornings near Cedar Falls don't catch you short.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Laurelville%2C%20OhioHow does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is simple and secure: RVezy handles everything through the platform with a credit or debit card, so you never have to send money directly to a host. You'll typically pay a portion at booking and the balance closer to your trip start date. A refundable security deposit is pre-authorized on your card a few days before pickup and released after the trip if there's no damage or extra cleaning needed (the amount is set by the host and shown on the listing). To avoid surprises: take time-stamped photos of the interior, exterior, and odometer at both pickup and drop-off, follow the host's fuel and dump-tank return instructions, and respect the mileage policy. Smooth return, deposit back, and Hocking Hills memories locked in.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksHow should I prepare for winter or shoulder-season RV camping near Laurelville?
Winter and shoulder-season trips to Hocking Hills are an underrated adventure: think frozen waterfalls at Ash Cave, snow-dusted sandstone at Old Man's Cave, and campgrounds practically to yourself. Look for RVs on RVezy that list 'heated holding tanks,' an enclosed underbelly, and a propane furnace, all of which keep things working when overnight temps drop into the 20s (typical for January in Laurelville). Hocking Hills State Park Campground offers year-round electric sites, though water service at some sites is shut off in winter (fill your fresh tank before arrival). Pro tip: pack a portable electric space heater to reduce propane use overnight when you're plugged into shore power.
