Bill's campsite offers a secluded getaway with plenty of natural beauty. Campers appreciate the well-maintained trails, lean-to shelter, and clean outhouse. Wildlife sightings are frequent, and the site is a bit of a hike from the parking area, which some find challenging but manageable. Overall, it's a favorite spot for those looking to unplug and enjoy nature's tranquility.

Peaceful camping in the forest 🌳
Tent · With pets
Incredible spot! Thank you Bill! We camped on a rainy weekend and I’m so glad we picked this hipcamp. We appreciated the out house and lean to. There’s some nice trails to walk on his property. Shockingly we didn’t pick up any ticks so that was really nice. We heard owls and cows in the morning. Despite the wet conditions we stayed dry and had a wonderful time!

Our host, Bill, was excellent. Very communicative and up to date on any potential weather issues we were looking at that weekend. The site itself is secluded and well laid out. Very clean with a well built leanto to keep you and your gear out of the rain. The outhouse was exceptionalally clean as well. There is a hill going into camp (down going in, up going out) so wear decent footwear and don't mind the cardio- it's good for you. Thanks for a great weekend, Bill!

Very nice site!
Tent
Bill's campsite was great! Quiet, secluded but not far from stores if needed, clean and well kept. Some nice trails through the woods to explore. Nice place for a weekend away from everything. Highly recommended and on my list of places to return to!

The site was great overall! The metal lean-to provided a place for us to put our non-tent stuff to keep it out of the elements. There was a nice plateau that was perfect for staking down our tent without any risk of being washed out (the forecast was nice, but it is Ohio, after all). The spool tables were also great for preparing food.
I would definitely recommend this place!
I kinda wish I would have paid more attention to the fact that it was a downhill hike from parking, that hill was much steeper than I'm used to. My legs were killing me!
The fact the site was in a wooded valley did make it very nice since I didn't have to use sunscreen all day, and only during peak hours.
To note: my husband and I aren't overly bothered by bugs, but we won't be recommending this site to any of our arachnophobic friends. It seemed like spiders were everywhere!
So, to summarize: 10/10 campsite. Very cozy! Just not for your bug-phobic friends

Safe and sound :)
Tent
Entrance was well marked, as well as trail. We had a camper so we mostly hung out around the parking area but we enjoyed several strolls around the grounds on the trail.
We had two large dogs that really enjoyed it too! Overall we felt safe, comfortable and happy at this spot. Beautiful birdsong in the morning!

He offered a place to camp last minute when roads were too flooded to make it to Wayne National forest. The campsite even had an unexpected lively stream next to it. We were so grateful to have firewood and a lean-to in order to keep us a little warmer and dryer despite the rain/snow!

The walk from parking area to camping area was longer than I expected. As a result I only carried absolute necessities to the camping area. Barebones rustic tent camping.

Bill was great, easy to reach and ready to help with anything. A quiet spot surrounded by wildlife. It’s located in a gorgeous part of Ohio. The campsite has an uphill hike out, so great cardio.

Secluded camp w/ amazing amenities
Tent
My husband and I loved staying on Bill's property with our dog. The site was very clean and included a nice lean - to that we used to store our gear, an outhouse, a table, a short hiking loop and free firewood! I really appreciate the thoughtfulness that Bill put into his campsite. Bill responds quickly and made a few recommendations for nearby places in case we needed any last minute essentials. Carridge Market has yummy sandwiches that we grilled over the fire ring. The short walk wasn't a problem for us to get to our secluded campsite, but it could be considered challenging for some, it's about 1/4 of a mile to camp. We stayed over fourth of July weekend, so I think there may have been more activity than usual with fireworks and dogs barking, but it was super easy to drown out, and everything was quiet by 10:30 - 11pm. Overall, we'd definitely recommend this listing and plan to be back! The fact that this site has a ton of tree coverage, clean outhouse, a lean-to and FREE dry firewood made this experience exceptional.

Nice little patch of ground to hike on. I'd suggest lightweight gear , as it's a slight hike.

Amazing campground
What a magical place to be! My partner and I spent the weekend there with our two year old labradoodle and there was more than enough space for her to explore yet still stay close! We felt like we were in our own little world and it was perfect. The hike from car to camp is definitely something to plan for. Bring a wagon or pack lite!

Great site tucked in the woods
Group trip
The campsite was lovely! Bill had dry seasoned firewood ready for us. The trek back to the campsite was a little more than expected, but were glad we had kids and a tote with wheels to help carry our stuff back! Ha ha (but well worth it.) Very quiet area tucked back into the woods, wish we would have been able to enjoy it longer.

This spot was so lovely. Private enough to feel like you’re out in the wilderness and close enough to town to get any additional supplies as needed! The perfect blend of away from it all but not too far in case of emergencies.
The campsite was well maintained, easy to find and access, and even the walk (about 500ft so pack accordingly!) was scenic.
I stayed during a rainy and colder weekend and Bill was kind enough to make sure I had dry wood. Even with the rain and chill, the place was absolutely gorgeous, the rain didn’t pool anywhere and the lean to and outhouse were dry the while time!
I loved exploring the trails beyond the campsite and loved the beech grove. Highly recommend, will be back!

Awesome Private Campsite
Group trip
We took our four kids and their two friends and two dogs and had an absolute great time. Very private and nestled in a small valley. No houses visible from the campsite. Bill had the campsite groomed with nice gravel in the camp area making it clean and comfortable. He had two great stacks of firewood already in place, and awesome shelter lean to that used and was quite comfortable. We had two tents set up, and 8 man and a 4 man that fit nicely. He also had a large round table and an outhouse that made it very convenient. We enjoyed hiking the short trails that were groomed as well. Drawback, the campsite is a good ways, my opinion about 1/4ish from the parking area and the parking area is uphill from the camping site. If you have a lot of gear, prepare for some up and downhill cardio. Also, if rain has recently passed or is in the forecast during either your pack in or pack out, be prepared to have some slippery and sliding. We had a very hard time, very muddy, and very messy pack out of the campsite. Most of the group slipped, fell, got all muddy as packing gear up the hill back to our vehicles. Other than the pack in and muddy pack out, absolutely loved the camp site. Very private and great set up. Thank you Bill!
