This place appeared to be a somewhat new facility (w/in the last few years), new restroom/showerhouse had been built. Other small construction items were notable as well. So that's a positive.
The entrance to the park is a very steep decline that directs you straight at the Hocking River. Anyone with a good size trailer or motorhome needs to exercise extreme caution when entering/exiting the park. Also, that particular part of the driveway had streams of running water eroding it in a heavy rain. Leaving isn't as bad, but you still cannot just roll right out of this place.
Understanding that the RV park management cannot control the weather, they've gotta lotta work to do with regard to their land management. Specificially, all the sites are located at the bottom of a hill (SR 180 is the main road above the campground) which allows rain water to flow down into the park & several sites. It rained very hard on one day we were camping at this facility & about 4-6 campsites, including ours, was at least ankle deep in water. We ended up having to move our motorhome to ensure we did not sink or get stuck in the mud. Another family of campers moved to another "drier" campsite altogether. The sites didn't appear to dry out all that well once the rain had left the area, either.
Facility has two fresh water hook-ups in order to fill your H2O tank, one dump station. These stations are located on what I would consider not the most even terrain near the bottom of the aforementioned hills. I was able to adequately utilize the dump station. However, I didn't have a very comfortable feeling running my 30+ foot motorhome up to it.
For $40/nite, certainly not worth the cost. Adequate attention needs to be addressed with regard to the above items as they could potentially be safety issues.
