Lake Hope Campground

We spent a quiet, restful night at a Lake Hope, a few weeks after campgrounds reopened in Ohio following COVID closures. The area is great for road cycling although hills are steep compared to much of Ohio. As others noted, a lot of slope but we have a small tent and enough of the site was flat. There are pit toilets and a couple of flush toilets available. Showers were clean with good water pressure. The beach area is just so so which is a shame because it was a lot nicer, I think, when I visited as a kid in the 70s. Campers and staff were all friendly. The noisiest thing was a persistent Whippoorwill. I will definitely be back. If you like simple, quiet camping with some amenities but not a carnival atmosphere, this is a good choice.

Spent two nights at site 59. Heavily wooded with picnic table and fire ring, quite large of a site, and yes...there is a slope so we moved things around, it was a small loop and no flush bathrooms at the end of loop with sites behind it (sort of weird). Showers were hot and short walk (or drive) up hill. Very hilly campground and quiet. Ice and firewood sold at park check in, Hiking in area is great and less crowded than nearby Hocking Hills. Will camp here again

Most sites are on a slope, choose carefully for tent spots.
