3/5 rating but you may think higher after a stay. A wonderful campground and state park experience. We enjoyed the hike around Hope Lake with a finish near the old furnace parking lot. Afterwards a nice craft beer from Athens served at Hope Lake Lodge offered a beautiful view and a refreshing break. Campsites are paved with some electric and some rustic. They’re tight and set at 90 angles or less. Long trailers are not recommended. Situated on a long ridge. Bathroom range from flush toilet, running water, soap and air dryer to… … put toilet, hand sanitizer, and El Stinko smell! Showers near entrance and end of campground. Kids playground and great spot for families. Hiking trails everywhere! Pick one of many spots each day. Did I mention Athens, Ohio is down the road a piece? It is and you can find good food and excellent craft breweries. For example Little Fish is my new favorite!

Beautiful park. Stayed in a super clean rustic cabin and hiked maintained trails daily. The lake was beautiful. There is access to the dock for canoes, kayaks, and small boats for fishing. The lodge dining area available Th, Fri, Sat & Sun. makes delicious meals. I loved staying here & will be back.

We love going to Lake Hope Park! It is scenic, relaxed, friendly and peaceful. For the second time, we rented a small pontoon boat at the lake . Carol, the administrator at the boathouse, is always so accommodating, friendly and efficient at getting our rental reserved for us. She is wonderful! Our visit and time on the water was awesome! The rental fee is very reasonable as well as the pontoon boats very clean and easy to navigate around Lake Hope. To top the day off, we had an outstanding meal at the lodge complete with excellent views and courteous servers. We’ll definitely be back!

Beautiful park with clean cabins. Cabins has everything you could need from A/C to linens and a stocked kitchen with utensils, plates, cups, cookware and bake ware. Cabins seem to be very insulated as we couldn't even hear the cicadas. Would love to come back in the winter and try the fireplace.
