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
Great place to camp
This was a great place to stay. The land is very large and it’s easy to drive to different campsites on the outskirts of the large fields. The sites feel very private. It’s also very close to Ash Cave and Hocking Hills. Caleb’s map he provided came in handy with directions to the cave since we didn’t have cell service until half way to the cave. It was worth the cost, especially if you’re just staying for the night on a road trip like we were.

Peaceful and Beautiful Surroundings
My kids and I have a great time! We set up next to a small stream and the sound of the water was very pleasant and calming. We definitely recommend!

We had a great experience camping here! There were plenty of cozy campsites along the edges of fields. Very beautiful land, close to the Hocking Hills hikes, and clear instructions.

Camping in the Hocking Hills
Perfect trip
Great space, huge! Plenty of room to spread out. Check in was easy, nice little camp store with basic fire needs, tents available to rent, extra tent stakes if you're short. There was so much room I didn't even notice when someone else setup camp down field from me until I left. Very peaceful and relaxing space, within about 15 minutes of popular Hocking Hills trails. These trails are very busy so I recommend getting up early. I got there before 9 and had everything to myself, by the time I left there were hundreds there.
