Title: Tar Hollow SP Ohio
Post by: campdaddy on Aug 12, 2007, 05:37 PM
Just got back from a 2 night stay at Tar Hollow SP (http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/tabid/792/default.aspx) in SE Ohio. It's not a bad little park. It only has electric hook-ups no water or sewer but that OK with us. It does have plenty of potable water spigots, gray-water receptacles throughout the park and a dump station at the park entrance. It has pit-toilets which DW and DD'03 would not use. There is no screening on any of the stalls or buildings so you can imagine what the insects were like at open pit toilets. Thank goodness we had a PP/TP and porta-poti so things didn't get too bad.

The best thing about this park is that it's not crowded at all. Tar Hollow Camp (http://www.flickr.com/photos/59723281@N00/sets/72157601488127468/) As a matter of fact when we arrived Friday afternoon with a reserved site we asked about changing sites and were given a list of about a dozen or so sites that were still open. We ended up changing to a site at the very end of one of the two camper site loop areas; one with pave parking and one not. We chose a site in the non-paved area because these were a little further apart and we like our privacy. The site we chose #53 was a grassy site and quite private, especially considering that on one side was forest and nobody parked next to us on the other side. There was one camper across the loop from us but other than that we were virtually alone. Except for the wildlife we encountered, but more about that later.  This park is about 15 miles south/west of the much more popular Hocking Hills SP. That park is much more crowded. We camped here but hiked Old Man
