At Clay's Resort Jellystone Park™, our luxury cabins offer an excellent transition into cabin camping in Ohio. Experience the comforts of home at our Ohio campground! With amenities such as a full bathroom and a kitchen, our luxury cabins give you access to the great outdoors without roughing it too much. In the kitchen, you can find a refrigerator, stovetop, sink, coffee maker & mugs, toaster, microwave, basic utensils, pots & pans, wine opener, and place settings.

If you’re planning on cooking, make sure to pack foods that don’t require an oven depending on your cabin type, and please bring towels, blankets, pillows, linens, grilling utensils, and personal items.

Guests staying in our rustic cabins will want to pack towels, blankets, pillows, linens, grilling utensils, and personal items. In addition, if you’re planning to do any eating in the cabin, it is recommended to bring items that are safe at room temperature and do not require any cooking. Our Ohio camp-resort has on-site dining facilities, so if you don’t want to add any food to your cabin camping packing list, you can purchase food there!

Suggested Items for Your Cabin Camping Checklist

Regardless of what cabin type you stay in, there are certain items that can make your Ohio camping resorts experience even more memorable! Here are some things to consider packing for your trip:

Sunscreen and Bug Spray:

When spending lots of time in the great outdoors, packing sunscreen and bug spray are always a great idea! With these items, you can enjoy time outside without worrying about sunburns and bug bites.

Swimsuits:

When visiting our campground in Ohio with a water park, you’ll want to take advantage of all the water attractions that are included in your stay! Don’t forget to pack swimsuits for the whole family so everyone can enjoy the water zone! Also, don't forget the lifejackets! All campers are required to wear a lifejacket when in all areas of our swimming lake except our chill zone.

Rainy Day Gear:

Be prepared for unexpected weather changes by packing rain gear such as waterproof jackets, ponchos, and umbrellas. A deck of cards or a good book can also come in handy during indoor downtime.

Comfy Clothing:

Pack clothes that are comfortable and suitable for outdoor activities. Think cozy sweatshirts, durable pants, and sturdy hiking boots. Don't forget extra layers for chilly evenings around the campfire!

Entertainment:

Keep the fun going with entertainment options such as board games, playing cards, and books. Unplugging and enjoying quality time together is what cabin camping is all about!

Toiletries:

Don't leave home without your toiletry essentials like toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, and towels. Keeping clean and fresh will enhance your camping experience.

Personal Items:

Lastly, don't forget personal items like medications, identification, and any other essentials specific to your family's needs. It’s always good to double check that these items are packed before making the trek out to your Ohio cabin camping experience.
