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 Bear Pond

Once again, I had another incredible stay at Bear Pond. This time, I used Nola’s Cabin, which is available as an extra, along with firewood bundles and other amenities. Host John has included many thoughtful appointments to the cabin, including a nice-sized refrigerator with a real freezer, heating, fan, table, screens on the windows, and space for your own belongings. I am so very fussy about mattresses, but the sleep accommodations at Nola’s Cabin are outstanding. I slept incredibly well, which makes for a great day of hiking the next morning. If I had my own place in Adams County, I would want it to be like Nola's Cabin at Bear Pond.

4 nights at Bear Pond

I just love being away from everything and having the peace and quiet of the outdoors. If it wasn’t for my physical issues, we would like to have stayed. We hated to have to come back 2 days early

Weekend Trip to Bear Pond

Nola’s Cabin and Bear Pond was excellent again. Great place to stay.

2 nights at Treehouses, Off the Grid!

Staying in a tree house has always been a dream of mine, and this one was fabulous. The house was great as was the area surrounding: fire pit, hammock and swing. We spent many hours on the trails and especially enjoyed Jacob's Ladder trail. There was peace of mind knowing the whole property was fenced in. We felt very safe and our dog loved walking the trails off leash with us. Bad weather rolled in our last night, and Shelly was very communicative, making sure we were aware of the watches and warnings, and giving options for where to head if we felt we were in danger.

1 night at Possum Ridge Ranch

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

We had such a lovely time at the Cottage this weekend! The land is so peaceful! We really enjoyed our stay!

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 Home Afarm

Excellent place to stay!! It has everything you need for a nice getaway. The cottage was well kept and toasty warm. Looking forward to staying again.

2 nights at Bear Pond

Betty Sue, and I loved staying @ Nola’s cabin, it’s the perfect place to stay out of the elements, it offers everything you need to have a peaceful, relaxing stay. The 🌲pine trees are absolutely beautiful. My next visit I will bring my paints and sit on the porch and paint 🎨 My 100 # Cane Corso dog BettySue though she was in seventh Heaven! We both enjoyed our stay at John’s, Bear Pond property and they were perfect host. Thank you! We be back ASAP✌️

Weekend Trip to Bear Pond

Bear pond is a must visit!! It was so peaceful out there. The night sky is beautiful out and John has the shelter equipped with all you need. It was down to 10 degrees one night but I was perfectly warm in the shelter. Highly recommended!

Weekend Trip to Possum Ridge Ranch

Had a great time with some friends at the sunset ridge tent site. Property was beautiful and lots of trails to explore. We went down to the creek to check out the caves and rock formations. Would highly recommend this site if you’re looking for a place to hike and explore.

7 nights at Pine Tree RV Park

Lovely location. Pretty and serene area. We had everything we needed and enjoyed the peace and quiet.

8 nights at Home Afarm

Good spot. Good hosts. Spacious. Shower was still on for the season and a nice surprise.

Weekend Trip to Bear Pond

We had a great time camping here! The camp stove and picnic tables were really great, the tables were spread around the camp area for easy use. Nolas cabin was a lovely area for my kids to relax in with some protection from our chilly overnight temps! Extra add-on eggs and firewood made meal planning and campfires a breeze. Thank you for a lovely weekend!!

Our little hobby farm was procured in December 2021. While we're just getting started our new home, we hope you'll enjoy sharing the orchard, meadows, forest, and swimming pond with us. "Roads go ever ever on, under cloud and under star. Yet feet that wandering have gone turn at last to home afar." Learn more about this land: Come relax atop the Appalachian foothills of southern Ohio. Enveloped in the heart of Tranquility Wilderness Area, our 11 acres has a mix of native pawpaw, peach, pear, and persimmon trees, deciduous forest, cedar woods, wild meadows, a small swimming pond, and a large, accessible field for ample flat for tents and room to play. Trails through the woods are being worked on, and facilities expanded as the seasons pass. Mellow nature’s soundtrack of birds, crickets, and frogs and enjoy an incredibly clear view of the night sky. Hiking, kayaking, biking, birding, fishing, hunting, swimming, and more are available at several state parks and historical sites like within 10-30 minutes of the farm. Amish country is likewise near at hand with several bakeries, markets, furniture shops, and greenhouses. Our primitive sites are spaced for privacy, with a gravel parking area near the cottage and additional field parking is available near the road on the opposite site of the main house. While most sites are walk-in only, the upper field sites may be able to be parked near and the Lower Meadow, Boneyard, and Oak Grove may be able to be driven to, as weather and site conditions permit.

Waterfront on The Edge

4 sites · Tents10 acres · Manchester, OH

Each campsite is along the waters of Ohio Brush Creek. This sacred waterway is also home to the Serpent Mound. Ohio Brush Creek is The Edge of Ohios Appalachia! The is much to be discovered in an area of glacial boundaries and ancient earthworks with 31 state and private nature preserves for hiking. And great paddling adventures on OBC and The Ohio River at The Ohio River Islands National Wildlife Refuge. Wifi is available but very weak to non existent signal as you are in rural Appalachia.
