Summer brings warm, humid weather and the heaviest crowds, so reservations fill quickly on weekends. Winter visits are possible thanks to year-round campground access, but icy trails, frozen waterfalls, and cold nights require cold-weather gear.

Things to do at Hocking Hills State Park
- Old Man's Cave ModerateRV parking available
Old Man's Cave is the most iconic hike in Hocking Hills, a roughly one-mile gorge trail through sandstone cliffs, waterfalls, and stone staircases. The trailhead has a large paved parking lot that accommodates RVs and a visitor center with restrooms. Connects to Cedar Falls and Ash Cave via the Grandma Gatewood Trail.
- Ash Cave EasyRV parking available
Ash Cave is the largest recess cave in Ohio, a massive horseshoe-shaped sandstone shelter with a seasonal waterfall. The main approach is a paved, wheelchair-accessible quarter-mile path, making it the easiest of the park's headline features. Large parking area suitable for motorhomes and trailers.
- Cedar Falls ModerateRV parking available
Cedar Falls is the highest-volume waterfall in the park, reached by a short but steep descent into a hemlock-lined gorge. The trail is about half a mile round trip with stone steps. Parking lot fits most RVs, though spaces can fill on weekends.
- Rock House ModerateRV parking available
Rock House is the only true cave in the park, a tunnel-like corridor carved into a cliff face midway up a 150-foot sandstone wall. The trail is about half a mile round trip with a short climb. The trailhead includes a picnic area and RV-friendly parking.
- Conkle's Hollow State Nature Preserve EasyRV parking available
Conkle's Hollow is a deep, narrow gorge with a flat accessible lower trail and a more challenging rim trail above the cliffs. The lower trail is about one mile round trip and stroller-friendly, while the rim loop adds roughly two miles with steep drop-offs. Paved parking area for cars and RVs at the trailhead.
- Cantwell Cliffs ModerateRV parking available
Cantwell Cliffs is the northernmost feature in the Hocking Hills region, known for towering cliffs, a narrow slot called Fat Woman's Squeeze, and fewer crowds than Old Man's Cave. The loop trail is roughly one to two miles with steep stairs. Gravel parking lot accommodates smaller RVs.
- Grandma Gatewood Trail Strenuous
The Grandma Gatewood Trail is a six-mile one-way hike linking Old Man's Cave, Cedar Falls, and Ash Cave along a segment of the Buckeye Trail and North Country Trail. It is the classic way to see the park's three signature gorges in a single day. Shuttle or two-vehicle setup recommended.
- Hocking Hills Campground Pool and Nature Center EasyRV parking available
The campground area includes a seasonal swimming pool, naturalist programs, and an amphitheater for evening presentations. It is a convenient on-site option for RV families after a day of hiking. The adjacent trailhead offers direct walking access to Old Man's Cave.

How to get to Hocking Hills State Park
From Columbus, the drive is about 55 miles southeast via US 33 to SR 664, taking roughly one hour. From Cincinnati it is approximately 120 miles, about two and a half hours, and from Cleveland around 165 miles, or three hours. RV drivers should note that SR 664 and the smaller county roads leading to trailheads are narrow, winding, and hilly with tight turns and limited shoulders, so large rigs should take it slow and avoid shortcuts on unnumbered roads. The nearest major airport for fly-and-rent trips is John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH), about an hour north of the park.
