Located only 8 miles from Hocking Hills State Park, Altenbrauch Farm features 62 acres of open fields, small streams and wooded hills intersected by a lonely country road. Aside from our house, there are no neighbors in sight. Easily pitch your tent in an open field or trek through the hills and hollows to find your perfect campsite. As part of Ohio's famous Hocking Hills Region, Vinton County is home to the second largest state forest, in addition to multiple state parks and wildlife areas. You’ll encounter abandoned historical sites and relics dating back to the early 1800s, hidden away among the wooded hills of Ohio’s least populated county. If you're a lover of outdoor recreation, this is the place to be. Within about a half-hour drive, there are many opportunities for hiking, biking, horseback riding, kayaking, hunting and fishing, and birding. Nearby parks and forests include Hocking Hills State Park, Hocking Hills State Forest, Lake Hope State Park, Zaleski State Forest, the Moonville Rail Trail, Lake Alma State Park, Tar Hollow State Forest, and more! Set up camp wherever you like! There are 12 acres of open field space, surrounded by 50 acres of wooded hills and hollows with hiking trails and level spots to pitch tents. Vehicles can be driven to the field sites; we are still working on a road to access the hill sites by vehicle. The fields have about a dozen "permanent" sites with stone or metal fire rings and log seating. Portable fire rings are also available that can be moved anywhere. Dead wood for campfires is free to gather, or split firewood is available to purchase for $5/bundle. A toilet and solar shower are located at the center of the property. An outdoor water spigot is also available. Guests are expected to follow the "Leave No Trace" principles. Any trash packed onto the property must be bagged and taken with you.Located only 8 miles from Hocking Hills State Park, Altenbrauch Farm's 62-acre property features a mix of open fields, small streams, wooded hills and a lonely country road.

Camping in the Hocking Hills

Camp site near field

Loved the camp site. We had fun exploring the creek behind our site. Only down fall was all the dirt kicked up off the road when ATVs and trucks went down it too fast.

Camping in the Hocking Hills

This camp spot was just what we were looking for. Close to Hocking Hills and also quaint. Felt like we were out there alone. Easy to get to and very open. Having access to a clean porta potty and water was also a nice bonus. We had a great time.

Camping in the Hocking Hills

Deep In the Hills

We stayed for two nights while visiting Hocking Hills State Park and it was perfect for us! A pretty, close, and fun drive through country roads from the site to the park. Caleb’s farm is quiet even with other guests, surrounded by forest, great views of the night sky, and sounds of the nearby creek. We didn’t get to explore the off road trails for sites due to the rain, but would love to come again and stay further into the property. Thanks Caleb!

Camping in the Hocking Hills

Great location. Worked out well for us. Pretty quiet. A few cars a day went by on the road but quiet other than that. As advertised.
