Stories from the community

1 night at Hideaway Hills Primitive Camp

We had the best time at Hideaway Hills! The site itself is spacious and beautifully laid out with plenty of room to spread out, unwind, and truly enjoy nature. The hosts thought of everything: they provided fresh water, a fire starter, and even a lighter, which made getting settled in super easy. The site was much larger than expected (pictures def don’t do it justice!) and we had plenty of room for us to spread out, which is nice when traveling with teenagers. The privacy tent and camp toilet were thoughtful touches that made the primitive setup feel so much more comfortable. My husband and I really enjoyed our coffee in the morning on the deck while the kids slept in, soaking in the peaceful surroundings before the day got going. Fishing was absolutely amazing (the catfish are HUGE) and the nearby hiking trails were well marked and full of wildlife. We saw deer just off the trail, and the kids got a kick out of the owls hooting all around us. Even though we didn’t bring our dogs this time, we definitely will next time! The site is incredibly dog-friendly, with water bowls, treats, and the sweetest resident dogs It’s rare to find a place that feels this peaceful and secluded, yet so welcoming. Kelli and Doug went so above and beyond, you instantly feel like family. Can’t wait to come back!

1 night at Hideaway Hills Primitive Camp

I’ve stayed at this campground multiple times, and I have to say—it’s one of the best, if not the best. The hosts go above and beyond to make your stay even better, whether it’s bringing you an extra lighter or helping you up the hill to your campsite. They’ve got you covered! This is my favorite place to camp, and I’ll keep coming back—so should you!

Weekend Trip to Limestone Bluffs

The Wolves Retreat site was quiet, private and surrounded by nature. The wooden platform was ideal for our screen house as it chose to rain most of our stay. We have a small teardrop and it fit in the site just fine but the grading of site limits your options. We didn’t want to get too creative as the ground was wet and didn’t want to get stuck. There are a few other sites on the property but only heard others if they were walking on the loop road by our site. The loop could use a little more gravel in places but other wise a nice road to the sites. There is firewood for sale but it was wet as the shed it was stored in wasn’t covered enough. The host was quite responsive with the reservation and in providing details. We walked around the trails and the other sites seem nice too. The Bluffs is only 1.5 hours from home for us and most likely we will be back again.

Weekend Trip to Camp Creek

Great site for primitive camping and the creek was awesome to listen to at night.

1 night at Waterfront on The Edge

Beautiful spot on Ohio Brush Creek. Our plans changed, so ended up staying with family instead this time, but we visited the large campsite and hope to camp there sometime in the future.

3 nights at Private Forest Campsite

The most perfect camping experience. Felt secluded and in the middle of a forest, without being completely disconnected. I had cell service the whole time and felt very safe, especially camping alone. Beth was an amazing host and was just a text away. If you’re feeling like camping on your own to escape real life for a little bit, this is where you want to go.

3 nights at Backwoods Hideaway

Absolutely loved my stay at the Backwoods Hideaway! The perfect little spot to getaway! I loved listening to all the sounds of nature, rocking away on the porch encapsulated in a good book, reading by candlelight and listening to the whipporwills and sounds of the creek flowing falling to sleep! Couldn't asked for a better escape to relax and recharge! Thank you Aaron and family for opening up your lovely cabin for all to enjoy!

Weekend Trip to Private Forest Campsite

Absolutely love this site! This site was super private with hiking around the property, great views, and even a compostable toilet! Beth set up a geocache shortly before our stay and it’s amazing. Bring goodies to trade out on your exploration! Could not hear the sheep dog per previous reviews, but Beth did leave earplugs just in case. Loved the private stream and seclusion of the site from the rest of the world. 10/10, will be coming back!

Weekend Trip to Big Laurel Ranch

The land (both forest and pasture) was beautiful and the hiking was spectacular! The hosts were very friendly and happy to help out when I needed something. I would absolutely return in the future

Weekend Trip to Limestone Bluffs

They have a great set up here. There's a variety of different camp sites on a ridge, each with their own character, off of a gravel loop. The Zen Den was set back in a private clearing among a young trees on a platform, which was handy in rainy weather. The other sites looked appealing too, some in pine trees, others in more of a lawn/clearing. There's a little bit of traffic noise from the nearby highway, but I was there in early spring, and the Zen Den was quiet. I was there off season, so was the only person, but this is probably more lively in the summer. There's a cool viewing platform looking out over the valley. I'd definitely stay here again!

1 night at Skyedanser Campsite

Easy place to stop for a quick overnight. I tried to follow the instructions, but still had it wrong. Luckily something be came out to help me and point me in the right direction, so I was on the right property.

1 night at Possum Ridge Ranch

Very nice camping area and bath house. Excellent view of sunset and stars in highest camping area.

Weekend Trip to Backwoods Hideaway

Such a cool place. So nice to be off-grid to just be in nature. I enjoyed putting my phone down and just hanging out by the creek. Felt like a good brain reset, and cabin was so cozy.

Weekend Trip to Limestone Bluffs

We didn’t want to leave! My friend and I typically enjoy a more primitive backpacking style of camping, but this trip was just more about time at the campsite with more creature comforts. We set out to make this the most comfortable camp out possible, and Wolves Retreat was exactly the vibe we were going for! The host has this set up so nicely with an extremely easy check-in/check-out. We never even saw or heard another person during our stay, so we’re not sure if anyone else was staying on property - but it felt very private! Would highly recommend this site for a small group.

Weekend Trip to Walnut Falls Escape

Craig’s Hipcamp was honestly perfect—super secluded, peaceful, and packed with adventure. It felt like having my own little slice of nature, totally off the grid. Whether I was just relaxing or out exploring, it was exactly what I needed. Plus, Craig is awesome—really kind and always happy to help. If you’re looking for a quiet getaway with endless outdoor vibes, this is the place.

Weekend Trip to Walnut Falls Escape

I loved the cozy cabin feel! It had a fire pit and grill which was perfect for making food :) There's a wood stove/heater inside to keep you warm on cooler nights. Recommend wearing hiking boots as getting to the cabin is a little bit of a trek. 5/5 would visit again.

Weekend Trip to Backwoods Hideaway

Great cabin in the woods with a nice creek and trail it was very nice and clean inside the cabin the fire pits and rocking chairs were awesome

Weekend Trip to Backwoods Hideaway

It’s a beautiful spot!!! Just the reset we needed. We will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Possum Ridge Ranch

Cozy little cabin on an absolutely breathtaking piece of land!! Especially with all the rain lately, the waterfalls were really flowing! The beds in the cabin were super comfortable and we all slept great. Liz and her husband were so nice and very helpful!!

Weekend Trip to Big Laurel Ranch

Host was fantastic helped us get up to the cabin even though he was very busy. We had a great relaxing evening watching the sunset and enjoying a fire!

This property has been in our family for over 30 years. It started out as a woody hillside and been transformed into a beautiful paylake. We started by taking 20 feet of dirt off the top of the hill and pushing it to the edges to create a flat area big enough to build on. Then we dug our 2 big paylakes and stocked them with catfish.
