Yurt Rental

Sleep riverside in a fully furnished yurt with a private hot tub and full kitchen at RiverBend Campground. Ideal for families or couples who want comfort, easy river access, and quick drives to Hocking Hills’ best hikes.

At RiverBend Campground on the banks of the Hocking River, the Yurt Rental offers an all-season, elevated camping experience in Logan, Ohio. These round, canvas-sided dwellings sit just off 31251 Chieftain Dr, Logan, OH 43138, USA, and combine the comfort of a small cabin with the intimacy of riverside nights. Inside each fully furnished yurt you'll find two bedrooms, a full kitchen, a private bathroom, electricity and climate control—details that make multi-night stays simple.

What sets this stay apart is the private hot tub on the deck: soak under stars after a day of hiking or paddling, or ease into morning coffee with the river murmuring nearby. The units are designed for couples, families, or small groups who want close-to-nature quiet without tent camping logistics. The campground sits within easy reach of the larger Hocking Hills recreation area, known for its steep sandstone gorges, cliffs, and hemlock-lined hollows.

River access at RiverBend makes it easy to add canoe, kayak, or tubing trips to your itinerary; the operator also lists a Moonlight Canoe Trip on select dates that finishes with a bonfire, wine and s’mores. For visitors focused on land exploration, iconic local sites such as Old Man’s Cave and Ash Cave are a short drive away, opening options for waterfall hikes and geological viewing. Practicalities are straightforward: check-in begins at 3:00 PM and check-out is at 12:00 Noon.

Guests arrive at the designated check-in location, receive directions, and walk to their private yurt. The listing accommodates stays from 1–7 nights; for single-night stays guests are asked to call ahead. Add-ons include guided river trips, firewood bundles, and occasional late check-outs when available.

Why book this rather than a hotel? The yurt strikes a rare balance: shelter and plumbing, plus the sensory benefits of riverfront sleep—crickets, the bend of the Hocking, and unobstructed night sky. The private hot tub and full kitchen broaden appeal for families and celebration weekends, while nearby river departures make it a practical base for paddlers. Whether you’re pairing a canoe shuttle with breakfast by the water, trading city lights for the yurt’s soft lantern glow, or scheduling a moonlight paddle and fireside snacks, this stay is an efficient, comforting way to experience Hocking Hills’ rugged features without sacrificing warmth, power, or a hot shower.

Rates cover up to four people for the base occupancy, and the space scales well with small groups wanting separate sleeping areas. Arrive before dark when possible to find your yurt easily and take the first evening to scout river access and set the hot tub. Staff can advise on local trail conditions and recommend gentle, family-friendly hikes or more technical routes elsewhere in Hocking Hills.
