Tar Hollow State Park

If your looking for a quiet, out of the way state park in SE. Ohio, Tar Hollow is it. There are two ways to enter the park. If you have a RV larger than 34' I would suggest coming in from the south (routes 50 & 237). Coming in from the North (route 237) one must negotiate a tight turn and a decent hill. Once on the park road there is no problem reaching the camping area ( about 2 miles). The campground is divided into two (hollows) / loops ( about 30 sites each). I believe they all have updated electric service. Power amperage was good. One has all paved campsites (Ross Hollow), the other has mostly grass sites, with a few narrow paved ones thrown in (Logan Hollow). There are two "other" areas for tent camper with about 10 sites each which are non-electric. There are no "flush" toilets here. The pit toilets are kept relatively clean. There is a showerhouse which serves both loops. The showerhouse has showers (3 each) and sinks, but no toilets. Also a washer and dryer there too. The dump station is along the park entrance road about a mile from the check in station. The campground check-in station (log cabin) has free WiFi which has a range of only about 100' from the log cabin. There is also ping-pond there and mini golf. There is a small lake (15 acres) also a good deal of hiking trails. The summer weekends brings in enough campers to fill the park 50 or 75%, during the week there may be days there are 2-3 Rvers in the whole park. Once in the park, besides the basic offerings at the campstore (log cabin) there is really no stores for 10 miles. Other than the WiFi at the cabin, you will not have cell service. Booth loops are boxed in by the rolling hills of Southern Ohio. If you hike somewhat up the hill, you will get 1 bar of service (3G Verizon). Nice park if you like to kick back and "rest & read". The popular / busy Hocking Hills State Park is only about 20 minutes east of Tar Hollow.
