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.

Review summary
Generated from real Hipcamper reviews
Altenbrauch Farm is a peaceful retreat with spacious, well-maintained campsites that offer a sense of seclusion. Visitors appreciate the clean facilities, including the porta potty, and the convenience of the self-check-in process and camp store. There's a lovely creek that adds to the tranquil atmosphere, and the proximity to hiking trails is a bonus for outdoor enthusiasts. Some campers noted the need for better waste disposal options, but overall, the site offers a pleasant escape for those looking to enjoy nature.

Super big site with a lot to do! The camp check-in/store was super cute and helpful. The creek was perfect for wading (with shoes - there’s some broken glass). Even though it was pretty busy over the weekend, our spot still felt private. Thanks for the stay!

Land was very nice and peaceful, and there were lots of good places to camp. Bathroom and shower were nice, water was pretty cold, although I didn’t try to wait for the hot water. Check-in packet with directions was extremely useful as there’s no service at all.
