The Best Campground in Hocking Hills

We are so happy you found us!

 You will discover that Palmerosa Campground and Cabins is a serene, quiet and peaceful country campground nestled in the heart of the Hocking Hills, Ohio. Nearby the beautiful Hocking Hills State Park, we are just a hop, skip and a jump away from many great places for the whole family to visit! Head over to Old Man's Cave, Ash Cave, Rockhouse, Conkle's Hollow, Whispering Cave, Cedar Falls or Cantwell Cliffs to view nature in all her glory.
Enjoy the convenience of our location also very close to the State Bridle Trails.

 Find your nature spot and enjoy how you choose to camp! Come and stay with us in your RV, your tent or choose one of our fully renovated cabins to experience the magic for yourself. Guests do not have to have or bring horses to camp at our campground and can still enjoy the unique experience seeing guest horses during your stay!

About the Campground

About Us
Welcome to Palmerosa Horse & Hike Campground—a serene retreat nestled in the heart of Hocking Hills, Ohio. As a locally family-owned and veteran-operated campground, we take pride in offering a peaceful country camping experience that caters to both adventurers and those seeking relaxation.

Our Story

In late 2022, our family embraced the opportunity to own and operate this beautiful campground. Since then, we've been dedicated to enhancing the property, ensuring that every guest enjoys a memorable stay. Our commitment is to provide a welcoming environment where nature lovers, hikers, and horse enthusiasts can connect with the outdoors.

Prime Location

Situated just minutes away from major attractions like Old Man's Cave, Ash Cave, Rockhouse, Conkle's Hollow, Whispering Cave, Cedar Falls, and Cantwell Cliffs, Palmerosa Campground offers easy access to the wonders of Hocking Hills State Park. Whether you're here to explore the trails or simply unwind, our location is ideal for your adventure.

Accommodation for All

We offer a variety of lodging options to suit every camper's needs:
* Cabins: Two newly remodeled and fully appointed cabins provide comfort and convenience.
* RV Sites: Spacious sites accommodating up to 50 ft. lengths, with 30 AMP electric service. (Horse stalls are not included in standard pricing, add horses to your reservation request total).
* Tent Sites: Shaded and secluded spots perfect for traditional camping experiences.
* Horse-Friendly Facilities: 10'X10' Covered stalls, tie-outs, and easy access to bridle trails make us a haven for equestrians.
* Trails Edge Cabin located 0.5 miles from the campground that sleeps up to 10 people. Large turnout area, stalls inside the new barn. Located closer to the Bridle Trails (488 ft. to the entrance by letter "H" on the Bridle Maps).

Amenities

Our campground is equipped with:
* Three private shower rooms with flushable toilets and vanities.
* Vault Privies (outhouses) and two RV dump stations.
* Camp store and firewood availability.
* Garbage containment and day parking for horse trailers.
* Dog-friendly policies (leash required).

Continuous Improvements
We're actively working on campground enhancements, including the recent addition of covered stalls near the cabins as of April 15, 2025. Please note that some site numbers may have changed, and updated pictures will be available early this season. Join Us!!

Whether you're a returning guest or visiting for the first time, we invite you to find your nature spot and create wonderful memories at Palmerosa Campground. Should you have any questions about our facilities or nearby trails, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Access to the Bridle Trail system does require a 0.10-mile ride mostly alongside Keifel Rd. to enter the end of the RED trail. There will be a 0.5-mile ride mostly alongside Keifel Rd. to enter the RED Trial going back to the State Horseman's Camp and the other Trail Systems. This 0.5-mile ride alongside Keifel Road is part of the RED TRAIL system and is a great warmup for your horse before entering the connecting trail systems and likewise a great cool down walk once exiting the trail system. 

Hikers can also enter the State Bridle Trails on foot to hike the same trails and experience more sites than just our main Cave systems!!
