The Best Fire Pit Spots in Hocking Hills (That Aren't Your Cabin)

Guides · September 12, 2026 · 7 min read

Your cabin fire pit is the default — and usually the best option. But not every trip is a cabin trip, and some groups need something bigger. Here's where fire happens outside the cabin.

Event venues with fire features

The region's event venues build fire into the experience. Crockett's Run has a bonfire gorge — a dedicated fire pit area in a natural rock amphitheater. The Haven at Cedar Grove includes bonfire pits on its 65-acre hilltop estate. The Seventy Five offers a dramatic hilltop fire pit overlooking a 20-acre wildflower field. These are event-scale fire experiences, available as part of venue bookings for weddings, corporate retreats, and group gatherings. Get a venue quote for your event.

Campground fire rings

The Hocking Hills State Park campground provides fire rings at each campsite. Pine Creek Cabin & Camping Resort (South Bloomingville) offers fire pits at cabin and camping sites with delivered firewood available on-site. These are the accessible fire options for day-trippers and campers who want a fire without a cabin booking.

Lodge and resort fire pits

The state park lodge offers group bonfire areas. Cherry Ridge Retreat, Ash Ridge Cabins, and several of the larger cabin clusters provide communal or private fire pit areas as part of the lodging experience. These work well for family reunions and multi-cabin group trips where one central fire pit serves the whole party.

The day-use shelter houses

The park's day-use shelter houses (reservable at Old Man's Cave, Ash Cave, Cedar Falls, Rock House, and Cantwell Cliffs via ReserveOhio) have grills and covered pavilion areas. They're not bonfires, but for a fall day-trip gathering with grilled food, they're the easiest public option near the trails.

Wherever You BurnThe fire safety rules are the same everywhere: clear the area of dry leaves, keep water within reach, never leave a fire unattended, and fully extinguish before you leave (drown, stir, drown again).
