We're with you ! Hocking Hills is a GREAT state park cg.Two playgrounds,a swimming pool and access to Old Man's Cave,and close to Conkle's Hollow.We'll be there Sept.5,6.It is a very popular place,all times of the year.

I was at Happy Hills a couple of weeks ago - what would you like to know? It has campsites that are in the woods or in a meadow. Has campfire rings at most sites. They played a movie (I am Legend) on 1 night, I think it was Saturday. Has Wifi near the pavillion.

Since I don’t think gas prices are going to get any lower – I think we are going to go ahead and plan to do this trip next year. It will take us over 8 hours to get there so we will make this a week long trip and I need to have full hook ups. I can't find reviews on Happy Hills at the rvparkreviews website so I was just wondering how it compared to Scenic View - both look well maintained.

CountryLife,
I am originally from Ohio. Left there when I was 11. On a vacation one time I was driving from Columbus to Torch to visit family and "discovered" Old Man in the Cave State Park. It was in the spring and I thought it was one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen.
I've made that same drive in the fall and it is incredible.

I was just at Scenic View a couple weeks ago and camped on a premium site. YES IT'S WORTH THE MONEY. Owners were great. Highly recommend it.

Pammi, how large would you say most sites are? Can you reserve a specific site? We like large sites!! Are the FU patio sites nice? Which site did you stay at? Sorry for all the questions!!!
Oh, I almost forgot! Do you have any pictures???

I have not stayed at Scenic View so I can't really comment on how the two compare. The writeup on Happy Hills is under Nelsonville (pg 1008 in the 2008 TL directory). I use campgrounds as a place to spend the night and spend the day elsewhere sight seeing or whatever. But it provided more than I expected and I would go there again.
The fall is a nice time of year.
I was there too many years ago to count when the dogwoods were in bloom - I will never forget that.

I know it will vary from year to year but generally speaking - would it be ok to go later in the summer - I mean will there be any waterfalls to see - I know it's best to go in the spring or early summer but if August is the only time we could make it would it be worth a 8+ hour trip?
