**ALL SITES ARE ACCESSIBLE BY 4WD OR MODERATE UPHILL HIKE **
***MESHTASTIC NETWORK ONSITE***
Located in Boyd County, Ky (less than two miles from US 23), our 50 acres are on a one-lane, dead end road which makes for a peaceful, quiet night’s sleep under the stars and amongst the trees.
Our sites are completely primitive (no running water, no electricity, no sewer) hike-in or 4WD accessible only, in several locations on the hills behind our residence. Potable water (2.6 gallons in a jug with spout) and portable toilet in privacy tent, or shelter, provided. *Permanent privacy shelter on two out of three sites*
All sites are ideal for tent campers, overlanding-style rigs, or possibly a small, off- road trailer/camper, with fire ring and firewood provided at each site. You will have access to all trails (for hiking only) and shared access to the fishing pond (Catch and Release only at this time). There are plenty of trees for shade, hammocks, etc. There is also an abundance of wildlife: Birds, deer, turkeys, rabbits, squirrels, bobcats, coyotes, and even an occasional black bear.
Large firepit at pond for socializing, if desired (Quiet time from 10pm to 8am as a courtesy to other campers).
We are pet friendly as well as off-leash friendly (on leash on trails or pond area if not friendly). *We do have two off-leash dogs on our property as well*
Whether you're looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life for a few days or just looking for a safe, quiet place to spend the night on your way to your next destination, we hope you'll choose to spend it with us at Hideaway Hills!

West Virginia’s Coolest, Newest, Vacation Cabin Rental and Hip Camping Resort!
The idea for creating a cabin rental/camping vacation getaway in the Allegheny Mountain Range came to life over several meetings at a Bob Evans restaurant in Columbus, Ohio, between co-owners Paul Liimatta and Joe Boffo. Joe had been accumulating land in the Genoa, West Virginia, area for several years and had dreamed of building cabins, tree houses and uniquely designed vacation rentals and campsites on a beautiful area called Hampton Ridge. Come and judge for yourself ;)

We're a small 46-site campground that's owned by a local family. Our families have been here in Boyd County for generations. Our family dream has been in the works for many years. At the end of 21, the dream of having a campground in Ashland KY, had actually come to reality. We had the spot we had been looking for after many years. The spot that would allow us to create a world-class resort right here in our hometown of Ashland in Boyd County KY. A dream that will bring to life a place where countless generations will come to create memories that they will cherish for the rest of their lives. We are a multi-member family business. It's ok. We've been successful in creating several other businesses together, so we're prepared to work together and see this dream fully come true. Our family consists of people that are Fathers, Brothers, Sisters, Wives, and husbands. A couple are now even grandparents. But we are always, family first and that means our friends and team members too.
Our goal is to create another business that not only creates a place to come have a great time. It's our goal to create a campground in our hometown area of Ashland KY, Huntington WV, and Southern OH where our team members are able to work and live a great life.
Our mission is to take the rewards of our campground business and then "Spread Kindness" throughout the community to all. Especially to those families with kids that are fighting for a better tomorrow, but just can't seem to get ahead. We will announce our weeklong kids camp one day in the very near future and the partnerships we're creating that will impact young lives right here in our community. We are not perfect, but we never give up. We change direction, but we never lose sight of the light at the end of the tunnel. This place isn't just our dream. Oasis Point is for you. It's for our hometown.

Highly recommend! This cabin is perfect. Not only is it beautiful, but it is clean and fully stocked with anything you might need. The wood burning stove keeps it incredibly warm and cozy in the winter. The property surrounding the cabin is beyond beautiful! There are hiking trails and a stream that can be heard from the cabin's porch. The site is very private and quiet. I also can't say enough good things about the host Craig! Incredibly nice, quick to respond, and willing to whatever to make your trip perfect. I can't wait to go back!!!

Fantastic! Despite some of the drawbacks others have noted, my now fiance and I had a great time! I booked this cabin because of the incredible privacy, and mainly to propose in Hocking Hills! (She said yes 😎)
Craig was a very nice host and made sure the cabin was well stocked. Despite no running water it had everything you could think to need, and overall you can tell the cabin was built with safety/comfort in mind.

Overview
About
Along the banks of the Beech Fork Lake, Beech Fork State Park is a secluded getaway surprisingly convenient to anyone in the tri-state area of West Virginia, Kentucky, and Ohio. Just ten miles off the interstate, locals flock to the beach here and out-of-towners take their pick of over 200 campsites in four campgrounds. The Beech Fork Lake Marina in the center of the park is privately owned, and rents out paddle boats if you wanna go Flinstone’s style (they also have canoes and pontoons). Sporty folks will love the wide variety of athletic fields here (volleyball, tennis, basketball, and softball), while the animal lovers can check out frogs, toads, raptors, deer, fox, and songbirds at the Beech Fork Lake Wildlife Management Area. In the surrounding towns, you’ll find plenty of mini golf parks, a public gun range, the Milton Flea Market, and Heritage Farms, an Appalachian village replica with museum, school, and old-fashioned merchants.
When to go
The ideal time to visit Beech Fork State Park is during the spring and fall, when the weather is mild and the natural scenery is at its peak. Summer brings a buzz of activity, perfect for water enthusiasts, though it can be quite warm. Winters are quieter, offering a peaceful retreat, but some facilities may be limited, so always check ahead.
Know before you go
- Check the weather forecast before your visit to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
- Be aware of park hours, typically from 8:30am to 5pm, and plan your activities within this timeframe.
- Remember to pack essentials like water, sunscreen, and insect repellent for a comfortable outing.
- Stay informed about any trail closures or area restrictions during your visit.
- Accessibility options are available; contact the park office for specific details to accommodate your needs.
