The Viking longhall has been 9 years in the making by a group of semi serious Viking enthusiasts: the result is a 60 foot long building that has 18, 8,x4' sleeping berths. Set apart from the main open area it also boasts 2 meeting rooms and a kitchen. The campsite is a very peaceful place. Some go as far as to say a healing place! We are proud of what we have achieved and now want people to come out and enjoy it also. The field is close enough to the Appalachian highway (state route 32) for convenience, but far enough not to be bothered by it. The area is steeped in Native American culture. In fact, the world famous Serpent Mound is but 8 miles away, with many other Adena culture sites within easy driving distance. It's also in the heart of the Amish community. The area is known for its natural beauty with many hiking trails and canoeing opportunities. The area is awash in beauty and history from the ancient mound culture to the amish culture. The area has many hiking trails some of which are part of the buckeye trail and range in length from an easy 1 mile loop to rugged hikes of many miles. Come out and share the land that we have loved for the last 30 years PLEASE [xxxxxxxx] WILL NO LONGER BE SUPPLYING BEDDING OR TOWELS.

Even better than the pictures! This is not just someone’s wooded lot that was cleared for some tents—it felt like I was staying in an actual village in the forest. The hills, the winding creek, all the dwellings and decorations came together in a cozy and fantastical way. It was colder than expected during our time at the Viking Longhall, and David went above and beyond to make sure we were safe and warm for our stay.
