Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District Clendening Lake Campground
Clendening Lake Campground occupies a quiet spot on the shores of this 1,800-acre reservoir in Belmont County’s rolling hills. The facility offers 49 sites with electric hookups, modern restrooms, and showers — a solid base camp for exploring nearby Wayne National Forest trails and abandoned coal mining roads. Sites are spacious enough for large rigs, with several pull-throughs available.
The campground sits about 15 miles southeast of the main Hocking Hills trail complex, making it a strategic overnight for multi-day forest exploration. Road access is paved throughout, though some Wayne National Forest approaches involve gravel and dirt. Fishing and boating are popular here, so expect company during warmer months.
