Besides cooler weather and all things sugar and spice, two words are synonymous with autumn: fall colors. Southeast Ohio is known for its rolling hills and majestic forests. The Hocking Hills State Park is no exception, and every year Mother Nature graces us with a beautiful landscape of colors and leaves gently floating from the sky. Stay tuned to our Facebook page to see when the fall colors officially are in the Hocking Hills.
Early fall camping creates a lifetime of memories!
There's no better way to enjoy the fall colors, warm fires, and twinkling stars than a camping trip in hocking hills: RVs, tents, and tipis galore. Pack up your sleeping bags, s'mores supplies, and firewood for a camping trip you won't forget!

Hit the road anytime with the Hocking Hills Road Tour
Car & Driver Magazine named the roads in Hocking Hills as their “Midwestern driving roads of choice” when they brought the Aston Martin Vanquish here for a test drive in the spring of 2013. According to Car & Driver, “The driving route is maybe the best in the world, this side of the Nürburgring.” Their route of choice was a loop on State Route 374 to State Route 56 to State Route 664 and back to State Route 374.
The roads dip and twist through forests, over high vistas, and around hairpin curves. Every season delivers its’ unique beauty. Winter’s touch is cliff and cave walls covered in ice beards and waterfalls frozen in suspended animation. Spring and summer explode with wildflowers and a million shades of green. As the summer crowds thin in September and fall colors wash the landscape in October, the ride becomes truly resplendent.
Stop by the Hocking Hills Regional Welcome Center at 13178 State Route 664 S (US 33 & State Route 664) for maps, directions, suggestions, and everything you’ll need for a resplendent ride through the Hocking Hills.
