South-east of Columbus the plain breaks open into gorges of black sandstone: hemlocks hang over rock overhangs, water drops into basins, and in October the forest glows red and gold. After that the land becomes hilly and quiet – 19th-century iron furnaces in the Zaleski woods, paddle steamers and burial mounds in Marietta, hand-operated locks on the Muskingum River. In Amish Country the clatter of hooves sets the pace: buggies with orange warning triangles, washing on the line, haystacks stacked by hand. From the sliding door you see cornfields up to the next ridge, white barns and, in the evening, horses grazing in the pasture. At the end come a canal village, a writer’s farm, a river gorge and a national park between two big cities – and then Lake Erie. ## Stage-by-stage plan ### Stage 1: Columbus to Hocking Hills (approx. 95 km) - **The drive:** Leave Columbus south-east on US-33: four lanes, fast, past Lancaster to Logan, the gateway to the Hocking Hills. From there it gets tight: SR 374 to Rock House and Conkle’s Hollow and SR 664 to the Old Man’s Cave area are narrow, winding and hilly, with hardly any shoulder and lots of day-trippers. Driving time around 1.5 hours, half a day with detours. Last large supermarkets and cheap fuel in Lancaster and Logan. - **Highlights & must-sees:** - German Village in Columbus: a 19th-century German immigrant neighbourhood with brick houses, cobbled streets and Schiller Park. The lanes are unsuitable for RVs – park on the edge and walk. - Conkle’s Hollow State Nature Preserve: one of the deepest gorges in Ohio, with a low-barrier gorge trail and a rim trail along the unfenced cliff edge. As a nature preserve it is open during the day only, and dogs are not allowed. - Rock House: the only true cave in the park, a tunnel in the sandstone with window openings that look almost Gothic; reached via steep steps, small car park on SR 374. - **Official campsite or RV park:** Hocking Hills State Park Campground on SR 664 near the Old Man’s Cave Visitor Center: around 170 sites, almost 50 of them with full hookup and the rest with electric (20/30/50 A), heated showers, washing machines and a dump station; plus basic walk-in tent sites. Reservations via Reserve Ohio are essential, no walk-ins; check the season and winter restrictions when booking. The access road is hilly – note the site length limits when booking. - **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** There is no legal free camping in the Hocking Hills. The car parks of the state park areas and nature preserves close at night; sleeping in your vehicle is penalised. Hocking State Forest allows camping only at designated sites such as the horse camp. - **Insider tip for campers:** The car parks at Old Man’s Cave, Ash Cave and Conkle’s Hollow are full by mid-morning on October weekends. Come on weekdays and early in the morning; leave large vehicles at the campground and visit the areas by car or bike. Take on fresh water and dump at the campground – there is no opportunity along the way. ### Stage 2: Hocking Hills to Lake Hope (Zaleski State Forest) (approx. 45 km) - **The drive:** A hiking day with a short drive: SR 664 and SR 374 to Cedar Falls, then SR 56 to Ash Cave and on via South Bloomingville and Zaleski on SR 278 to Lake Hope. Winding, narrow forest roads with blind crests, slippery leaves in autumn and poor visibility in morning fog. Driving time under an hour. Fuel stations are sparse – fill up in Logan before you set off. - **Highlights & must-sees:** - Old Man’s Cave: rock overhang, Upper and Lower Falls and the Devil’s Bathtub in a narrow gorge; starting point of the Grandma Gatewood Trail, a section of the Buckeye Trail that runs around 9.5 kilometres through the gorge via Cedar Falls to Ash Cave. - Cedar Falls: the park’s highest-volume waterfall, reached via steep steps; most impressive after rain, often just a trickle in late summer. - Ash Cave: a huge, semicircular rock overhang with a thin waterfall, reached via a level, paved path – good for people with limited mobility and with dogs. - **Official campsite or RV park:** Lake Hope State Park Campground above the lake in Zaleski State Forest: wooded sites with and without electric, shower block, dump station. Reservations via Reserve Ohio, up to six months in advance. Some loops are hilly and tight – note the length limits when booking. - **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** In Zaleski State Forest overnight stays are only allowed at designated sites: the basic sites on the Zaleski Backpack Trail (on foot, registration required) and the Zaleski Forest Horse Camp for riders. Free parking overnight along forest roads is not permitted. - **Insider tip for campers:** The trails in the Hocking Hills are only open from sunrise to sunset; leaving the marked paths is prohibited and fined – people die at the cliff edges time and again. Climbing and rappelling only in the designated areas. On the way, it is worth stopping at Hope Furnace, a stone blast furnace of the 19th-century iron industry right on SR 278. ### Stage 3: Lake Hope to Marietta (approx. 130 km) - **The drive:** SR 278 and SR 56 to Athens, the university town on the Hocking River, then US-50 east and via Belpre on the Ohio River to Marietta; if you like bends, take SR 550 through the hills from Athens. The landscape changes from forest to pasture and finally to the broad Ohio valley. Driving time around two hours. Supermarkets and fuel in Athens and Marietta. - **Highlights & must-sees:** - Moonville Tunnel near Zaleski: an abandoned railway tunnel from 1856 on the Moonville Rail Trail, the setting of countless ghost stories; short drive on gravel, small car park. - Marietta: founded in 1788 as the first permanent settlement of the Northwest Territory. The Campus Martius Museum tells the story of its founding, and the Ohio River Museum covers river navigation with the sternwheeler W. P. Snyder Jr. - Mound Cemetery: a cemetery around an Adena culture burial mound where many Revolutionary War officers are buried; from the mound there is a view over the town. - **Official campsite or RV park:** Leith Run Recreation Area (Wayne National Forest) on SR 7 on the Ohio River, around 30 kilometres upstream of Marietta: riverside sites, many with electric, shower block. Plus a dump station. Open roughly from spring into autumn; reservations via recreation.gov up to four days before arrival, after that free sites are allocated on site. Simpler alternative: Lane Farm Campground of the Wayne National Forest a few kilometres north-east of Marietta on the Little Muskingum River. - **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** In the Marietta Unit of the Wayne National Forest dispersed camping is generally allowed in large parts, except in recreation areas and where signs prohibit it. The forest roads, however, are often narrow, unpaved and unsuitable for large vehicles; ask the ranger district in Marietta about rules and closures. In Marietta itself overnight parking on streets and car parks is not provided for. - **Insider tip for campers:** The Covered Bridge Scenic Byway (SR 26) from Marietta into the Wayne National Forest passes several covered wooden bridges that stand beside the road and do not have to be driven over – a detour by RV is possible, but the road is winding. On the Ohio River, watch the high water level in spring: riverside sites can be flooded and closed. ### Stage 4: Marietta to Zanesville (approx. 120 km) - **The drive:** SR 60 north along the Muskingum River – a quiet two-lane river road through Beverly, McConnelsville and Duncan Falls. The route follows the Muskingum River Parkway, a chain of 19th-century locks that are still operated by hand. Driving time around two hours; with lock stops, a leisurely day. Fuel in Beverly, McConnelsville and Zanesville. - **Highlights & must-sees:** - Locks on the Muskingum River, for example at Lowell, Beverly or Stockport: the gates are moved with hand cranks, and boats rise in masonry chambers. Operating hours are seasonal, check beforehand. - McConnelsville: a small centre with a late-19th-century opera house and a square where you still experience small-town Ohio. - Y-Bridge in Zanesville: a Y-shaped bridge over the confluence of the Licking and Muskingum rivers on the historic National Road (US-40). You can drive over the bridge and turn on it; the current structure from 1984 is already the fifth on this site. Best view from Putnam Hill Park. - **Official campsite or RV park:** Blue Rock State Park south-east of Duncan Falls, on Cutler Lake in Blue Rock State Forest: Upper and Lower Campground in the woods with around 100 sites without electric, quiet and simple: no dump station, showers only in season, and only part is open in winter. For more comfort, Dillon State Park north-west of Zanesville has a larger campground and sites with electric. Both via Reserve Ohio; check facilities and lengths when booking. - **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** In Blue Rock State Forest overnight stays are only allowed at the designated sites. Overnight stays are not permitted on the lock grounds or in the lay-bys of SR 60. - **Insider tip for campers:** US-40 is tight through central Zanesville – with a large RV, bypass it on I-70 and experience the Y-Bridge on foot or from Putnam Hill. In the region, The Wilds near Cumberland is worthwhile, a large conservation area for endangered species on reclaimed strip-mine land; book tours in advance. ### Stage 5: Zanesville to Berlin (Amish Country) (approx. 140 km) - **The drive:** I-70 east to Cambridge, then I-77 north to Dover and SR 39 west via Sugarcreek and Walnut Creek to Berlin. From Sugarcreek, SR 39 becomes a hilly country road with blind crests and bends, used by horse-drawn buggies, cyclists and delivery vans. Driving time around two hours; expect slower progress in Amish Country. Fuel in Dover, Sugarcreek and Berlin. - **Highlights & must-sees:** - Sugarcreek: “Little Switzerland of Ohio”, shaped by Swiss immigrants, with a giant cuckoo clock in the town centre and cheese makers in the surrounding area. - Walnut Creek: a village on a ridge with views over fields and farms; bakeries and shops with Amish baked goods. - Amish & Mennonite Heritage Center near Berlin: the “Behalt”, a large cyclorama painting, tells the story of the Anabaptists from the Reformation to Ohio – a good introduction before you drive through the farms. - **Official campsite or RV park:** There is no state campground in Holmes County. Around Berlin and Walnut Creek there are several private RV parks with full hookup; book ahead in autumn and at weekends. If you prefer to stay in a public park, plan the region as a day trip from Mohican State Park (around 45 kilometres) or stay overnight in Coshocton on the next leg. - **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** Overnight stays on farms and in shop and church car parks in Amish Country are not permitted without explicit permission; the side roads are too narrow to park on. There is no public land for dispersed camping. - **Insider tip for campers:** Buggies travel at 10 to 15 km/h and carry an orange warning triangle. Always expect them beyond crests and in bends, overtake only with plenty of distance and a clear view, do not use the horn and do not rev the engine – horses spook. Many shops have hitching posts for horses; do not block these areas. ### Stage 6: Berlin to Coshocton (Roscoe Village) (approx. 75 km) - **The drive:** From Berlin, take narrow back roads south to Charm, through one of the most rural valleys in the region, then SR 39 to Millersburg, the county seat of Holmes County. From there, SR 83 south through the Killbuck valley to Coshocton. The back roads near Charm are tight, steep and winding – with large RVs use the main routes. Driving time around 1.5 hours. - **Highlights & must-sees:** - Charm: a hamlet in the valley with a few shops and a bakery, surrounded by farms where fields are still ploughed with horses; the epitome of quiet Amish Country. - Millersburg: a small town with the Victorian House Museum and access to the Holmes County Trail, a cycle path on an old railway line with its own lane for horse-drawn buggies. - Roscoe Village in Coshocton: a restored canal village on the former Ohio & Erie Canal with brick houses, craft demonstrations and a museum; in the neighbouring Lake Park a horse-drawn canal boat runs seasonally. - **Official campsite or RV park:** Lake Park Campground in Coshocton: a campground in Lake Park on the edge of Roscoe Village with around 70 sites with electric (30 A), showers and a dump station; from there the canal village and canal boat can be reached on foot or by bike. Check facilities, season and reservations with the operator. - **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** Around Coshocton, too, there is no public land for dispersed camping. The Roscoe Village car parks are for day visitors only. - **Insider tip for campers:** Amish Country rests on Sundays: almost all Amish businesses and many other shops and restaurants in Holmes County are closed, and farm stands stay empty. Do your shopping on Saturday and use Sunday for Roscoe Village, Malabar Farm or a hike. Buy raw milk and farm produce only at designated sales points. ### Stage 7: Coshocton to Mohican State Park (via Malabar Farm) (approx. 130 km) - **The drive:** Country roads via the Walhonding valley and Loudonville to the north-west, then SR 39 via Perrysville to Lucas for Malabar Farm and back to Mohican State Park on the Clear Fork. Hilly two-lane roads through forest, pasture and river valleys, little traffic. Driving time around two hours. Supermarket and fuel in Loudonville. - **Highlights & must-sees:** - Malabar Farm State Park: the farm of Pulitzer Prize winner Louis Bromfield, who tested sustainable agriculture here in the 1940s. Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall married in the “Big House” in 1945; house tours, pastures with cattle, a sugar shack and a restaurant in the old inn. - Clear Fork Gorge in Mohican State Park: a deep gorge with old hemlocks; hiking trails to Big and Little Lyons Falls and to a covered bridge. - Mohican-Memorial State Forest: a fire tower with views over the forests; Loudonville is considered the canoe capital of Ohio, and outfitters offer trips on the Mohican River. - **Official campsite or RV park:** Mohican State Park Campground on the Clear Fork near Loudonville: around 185 sites, most with electric, a good 30 with full hookup, shower blocks, dump station; close to the river and in high demand in summer. Reservations via Reserve Ohio, no walk-ins. The small Malabar Farm campground (around 15 sites) is mainly geared to riders, very basic (vault toilets, no showers, no dump station) and only suitable for small vehicles. - **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** In Mohican-Memorial State Forest overnight stays are only allowed at designated sites such as the horse camp or backpacking sites. The trailhead car parks and viewpoints close at night. - **Insider tip for campers:** Around Loudonville, on summer weekends the rivers are full of canoes and the roads full of day-trip traffic; autumn is quieter. The road down to Malabar Farm is narrow – leave large vehicles in the main car park at the visitor area. ### Stage 8: Mohican State Park to Cleveland (via Cuyahoga Valley National Park) (approx. 190 km) - **The drive:** Via Loudonville and Wooster or via I-71 north, then I-271 or SR 8 into the Cuyahoga Valley. Inside the park, Riverview Road and Akron-Peninsula Road connect the areas: narrow, winding, with cyclists. Then I-77 or SR 14 to Cleveland on the shore of Lake Erie. Driving time around 2.5 hours, more in rush-hour traffic around Akron and Cleveland. - **Highlights & must-sees:** - Brandywine Falls: a waterfall around 20 metres high over shale layers, seen from the boardwalk; then the Ledges, moss-covered sandstone walls with a viewpoint facing west. - Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail: the former towpath runs through the whole park; at Beaver Marsh you can see beavers, herons and turtles. With the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad you can ride one way by train and come back by bike. - Cleveland: Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on the lakefront, West Side Market with its market hall from 1912, and Edgewater Park with a beach and views of the skyline. - **Official campsite or RV park:** There is no campground in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, and overnight stays in the car parks are prohibited. The NPS recommends sites in the surrounding area: Stow Silver Springs Campground (City of Stow) with RV sites around 15 kilometres east of the park, or West Branch State Park near Ravenna with a large campground, sites with electric and a dump station via Reserve Ohio. - **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** Cleveland and its suburbs do not allow sleeping in vehicles on streets and in car parks; in the Metroparks camping is prohibited outside the few designated facilities. There is no legal free camping option. - **Insider tip for campers:** No entrance fee is charged for Cuyahoga Valley; for other heavily visited national parks, higher fees have applied in some cases since 2026 for visitors without US residency – check current amounts on nps.gov. In Cleveland, avoid multi-storey car parks because of the height: leave the RV at the campground or park on the edge of town and take RTA trains into the centre. On Lake Erie the wind can pick up suddenly. ## Camping practice & local rules ### Wild camping & overnight parking - Ohio has little public land for dispersed camping. The state forests allow overnight stays only at designated sites (horse camps, backpacking sites on backpack trails). In the Wayne National Forest dispersed camping is generally allowed in large parts, but check the rules and closures with the Forest Service. - State parks and state nature preserves are open during the day only; overnight stays in their car parks are prohibited. Cities such as Columbus and Cleveland prohibit sleeping in vehicles on the street. - Interstate rest areas are for taking a break; observe the maximum parking time. Supermarket and DIY store car parks only with the store’s permission. - Reservations: Ohio State Parks via Reserve Ohio (reserveohio.com or by phone), up to six months in advance. Hocking Hills does not take walk-ins; in October, during the autumn colours, Hocking Hills, Mohican and Lake Hope book up quickly at weekends. Entry to Ohio’s state parks is free; you pay for camping. - Amish Country: farms and families are not a tourist attraction. Do not drive onto properties uninvited, do not photograph through windows, and do not approach women and children to get a photo. Many Amish decline posed photos for religious reasons – landscapes and buggies from a distance, no faces without consent, no drones over farms. - Apps: iOverlander, Campendium, The Dyrt and Recreation.gov; Park4Night is not widely used in Ohio. ### Waste disposal & supplies - Dump stations at almost all state park campgrounds (Hocking Hills, Lake Hope, Mohican, West Branch) and at private RV parks; Blue Rock, Malabar Farm and the basic forest sites have none. - Drinking water at the campground taps; in winter the water lines are shut off in some parks. - Empty grey water and chemical toilets only at dump stations; draining into streams, lakes or onto forest roads is prohibited. - Propane: fuel stations, DIY stores and farm supply stores fill US cylinders; European cylinders are generally not filled. - Electric: state park sites with 20/30, some with 50 A; Hocking Hills and Mohican also offer full hookup. - Shopping and fuel: Columbus, Lancaster, Logan, Athens, Marietta, Zanesville, Dover, Millersburg, Coshocton, Loudonville and Wooster. In Amish Country there are hardly any supplies on Sundays. ### Vehicle size & traffic rules - Speed limits: interstates in Ohio mostly 65–70 mph, country roads mostly 55 mph, through towns 25–35 mph. Ohio has a ban on handheld phone use while driving; only hands-free use is allowed. - Horse-drawn buggies: vehicles with an orange warning triangle are slow; overtake only with a clear view and plenty of lateral distance, do not use the horn. At night buggies carry lamps and reflectors but are hard to see – drive slowly at night in Amish Country. There is horse manure on the road and hoof marks in the asphalt. - Move-over law: for stopped emergency, breakdown and road service vehicles with warning lights, change lanes or slow down significantly. - Tolls: this route has no toll roads. The Ohio Turnpike (I-80/I-90) in the north is tolled and accepts E-ZPass. - Bridges and roads: SR 374, SR 664 and the back roads around Charm are narrow and winding; with large vehicles, plan via the main routes before setting off. Check height limits on underpasses in old towns. - Weather: thunderstorms and tornado warnings from spring to summer; autumn leaves make wet roads slippery, in winter snow and lake-effect snow by Lake Erie. Follow National Weather Service weather warnings. - Emergency: 911. Mobile reception is weak in the gorges of the Hocking Hills, in Zaleski State Forest and in parts of the Wayne National Forest. ## CampingSpirit packing & preparation checklist - Hiking boots with grippy soles: the sandstone steps in Hocking Hills and Mohican are wet, mossy and often slippery. - Telephoto lens or binoculars: for buggies and farms from a respectful distance instead of close up in people’s faces. - Cash in small notes: many Amish farm shops, bakeries and stalls do not take cards. - Bike with lights: for the Towpath Trail, the Holmes County Trail and the routes between the campground and Roscoe Village or Cuyahoga Valley. - Tick tweezers and tick repellent: ticks are common in the forests of south-east Ohio. - Wheel chocks and levelling blocks: many wooded sites at Lake Hope, Blue Rock and Mohican are sloping. _As of 2026-10. Closures, fees and booking rules change: check official sources before you go._ ## Sources - [USDA Forest Service, Wayne National Forest – Leith Run Recreation Area](https://www.fs.usda.gov/r09/wayne/recreation/leith-run-recreation-area) - [Recreation.gov – Leith Run Campground](https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/232389) - [Ohio DNR – Lake Hope State Park Campground Map](https://dam.assets.ohio.gov/image/upload/ohiodnr.gov/documents/parks/parkmaps/lakehopecampmap.pdf) - [Ohio DNR – Mohican State Park Campground Map](https://dam.assets.ohio.gov/image/upload/ohiodnr.gov/documents/parks/parkmaps/mohicancampmap.pdf) - [Ohio DNR – Blue Rock State Park Campground Map](https://dam.assets.ohio.gov/image/upload/ohiodnr.gov/documents/parks/parkmaps/bluerockcampmap.pdf) - [Hocking Hills Tourism Association – Camping in Hocking Hills: Complete Guide](https://www.hockinghillsohio.org/blog/camping-hocking-hills.html) - [National Park Service, Cuyahoga Valley – Camping](https://www.nps.gov/cuva/planyourvisit/camping.htm) - [City of Stow – Stow Silver Springs Campground](https://stowohio.org/338/Stow-Silver-Springs-Campground) - [Spectrum News 1 – Muskingum River Parkway: Rokeby Lock reopens, full navigation Marietta–Zanesville (2025)](https://spectrumnews1.com/oh/columbus/news/2025/05/16/ohio-muskingum-river-lock) - [Ohio Ag Connection – ODNR reopens historic Beverly Lock on Muskingum River](https://ohioagconnection.com/news/odnr-reopens-historic-beverly-lock-on-muskingum-river) ## Which stops are on the route from Columbus to Cleveland? 1. **Columbus** (OH) 2. **Old Man’s Cave** (Logan, OH): A gorge of waterfalls, stone bridges and a huge recess cave, the heart of Hocking Hills State Park.
