I would recommend this campground to anyone wanting a true family friendly campground. We stayed there with two other families (we had a travel basketball team tournament in Athens, 15 min away) and the facilities and sites were perfect. The owners were extremely friendly.

Our campground has plenty of things to do for children, a lot more than the previous owners did, because we camped there with our 2 kids prior to buying it and know. We have added a game room, fun boats, peddle carts & planned activities since owning the campground (8 years) We have both shade and full sun sites and... More

The brothers who were running everything this past Memorial Day weekend went out of their way to make us feel very welcome and comfortable. The offered a variety of activities and events for kids and adults. If you own a camper or RV this is a... More

For starters to all of you people who was unhappy that the pool was closed, they were giving out pool passes for the water park in Nelsonville (free of charge to you), and they also sent you an email to let you know that their pool was closed by the health dept. before you got there. I thought it was... More

As previously mentioned in other reviews, this campground is not close at all to the activities in Hocking Hills. We also went the weekend that the pool was closed down by the health department. We were not impressed as soon as we pulled in, but it just kept getting worse. When we checked in we found out that we had... More

My husband and I have 5 kids! We all LOVE Happy Hills! The owners are wonderful people and went out of their way to help us and others. A couple that camped near us this weekend was having trouble with their camper lights and their A/C unit. The husband (owner) did everything he could to help fix the problem they... More

We've been there a few times over the last 2 years and every time we're there we don't want to leave. We wish we had a camper, cause we'd get a seasonal site. They're rules aren't hard to follow and they're ALWAYS willing to go above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. They have a nice pool, a great... More

Not close to Hocking Hills attractions, Pool closed by Health Dept. Pool not close to campground, (500 yards) had it's own parking area!! Camp sights very unlevel, (bring lots of blocking!) and close together. Restrooms very poor conditions, Store closed more than open. Only 30 amp sites no extra recepticles , very poor wiring in boxes, not safe for kids.... More

Our website accurately reflects our campground. Our pool was closed for the first and last time since we have owned the campground (8 years). We provided all campers with passes to a water park located in Nelsonville, free of charge. We are also known for having the most level sites in the Hocking Hills, however, our name and our location... More
