Weekend Trip to Salt Creek Camp at Sunnyvale Farm

Ed’s camp is just lovely! It is close to Athens but far enough away to feel like you are away, . We love staying here!

Weekend Trip to Pop's Place Camping

The cabin was cute and clean and in good condition. The beds were comfy. Had paper plates and plastic utensils and paper towels already in the cabin. It was very private because it was raining so there wasn’t anybody outside or anything. More affordable than a lot of other cabins. There was a massive spider under one of the extra pillows. And there was a cute cat that showed up on our last night just wanting to hang out with us.

4 nights at WALKAbOUT Creek Campground

What a great camp! Carl is very personable, the grounds are beautiful, it’s very secluded (ie; off the beaten path). The camp has a common area to hang out and cook or bonfire or play games. There is also a full ~on grid~ bathroom with a shower and that’s attached to a small game room with a tv and air hockey (if you absolutely feel the need to stay connected). A really peaceful getaway but only about an hour drive to Marietta to the SW, Granville to the NE & Hocking Hills to the south. My sister and I tent/car camped here for 4 nights and 5 days and really hated to leave. 😊

Weekend Trip to Addis Acres

This is one of my new favorite camping spots and can not wait to go back! The hosts were extremely kind and helpful. The site was clean and well set up with plenty of space for a table top grill. They also supplied plenty of firewood at no additional charge. The animals were by far my favorite part of the experience, if you are an animal person this is the spot for you!

It suited our needs. The mosquitoes were happy to see us but that’s not the camps fault. Little suckers.

Weekend Trip to Salt Creek Camp at Sunnyvale Farm

This is the second time that we have stayed here. Ed always greets you and helps to get you settled in. Private setting close to OU. Looking forward to our next stay!

3 nights at Salt Creek Camp at Sunnyvale Farm

Left me to myself and that’s all I wanted. Simple

2 nights at Pop's Place Camping

We really enjoyed staying here! Ed and Michelle were great hosts. They were very warm and helpful. The cabin (Moose Cabin) was really clean and the mattresses were comfortable. It was nice that bedding was provided. Our kids had a blast there and Ed and Michelle were so kind to them. The port-a-potty was very clean and the outdoor shower was also really nice. It's obvious that Ed and Michelle have worked hard to make this a great place to stay and value their guests.

3 nights at Altenbrauch Farm

We really enjoyed our stay. It's a beautiful piece of property you can tell they've put a lot of work into. Plenty of places to stay along the creek and many options to spread out so you have a bit of privacy. It's nice and quiet except for the occasional local dirt track driver coming down the gravel road. We just stayed there the whole time it was nice and relaxing. The Port-a-jon was clean the solar shower worked it wasn't very warm but it was mid April. When we were there my buddy and his son helped me rack it back to the left as the door was stuck. I'd advise walking the 4x4 paths before heading off on them if you haven't been there yet. It's a very cool place to stay.

Weekend Trip to Altenbrauch Farm

We had such a blast on our Easter camping trip. Process was easy. Land well maintained. Only had 3 other groups out there so we basically had the land to ourselves. Had little things that we didn't think to pack available for purchase. Only downside was Digger bees at our site but they were harmless. Will definitely be returning this summer.

3 nights at Countryside Corner

So quiet and perfect for a bit of a getaway. I really enjoy camping in our jeep here. The early morning bird sounds might be my favorite.

Weekend Trip to Altenbrauch Farm

Camped with my jeep with a rooftop tent . Only group on 69 acres can’t be beat. Very secluded No highway noise, no cell service (except Verizon), porta-potty was very clean and well kept, and all the extras you could get where right there if needed. 10-15 minute driver from Hocking Hills. If you have toddlers this place would definitely be good.

4 nights at Pop's Place Camping

Pop's Place, Moose Cabin, was fantastic as were the hosts, Ed and Michelle! The cabin was pristine, clean, warm, and very well maintained. Michelle and Ed are very responsive to messages and are continuously improving camp. Although it rained all four days, we still had a great time and appreciated the hosts recommendations for rainy day activities. The shower was an added bonus and was pleasantly warm. I hope to return in the future! Thanks Ed and Michelle!

Weekend Trip to Salt Creek Camp at Sunnyvale Farm

This HipCamp is only 10 minutes from campus. It is a great option for visiting the college without having to pay crazy hotel prices! Also, the host is fabulous. This past weekend was so wet that our camper ended up getting a little stuck. Ed, the host, offered to let us leave it until it dries out or pull us out! He is so helpful and accommodating. Cannot recommend this option enough!

Weekend Trip to Altenbrauch Farm

Absolutely amazing, checking in we saw that we weren't the only ones there but never saw another person once. Very quiet, and obviously full of wildlife (saw a few deer and heard some coyotes and owls) make sure to bring hiking shoes if you plan on going into the woods at all it's a bit of a hike especially if you don't have a 4 weel/ off road vehicle. Portable bathroom was very clean we didn't use the shower but seemed nice. Plenty of fire wood for collection if you don't want to buy it or bring it. Very secluded so make sure you have everything if you don't want to make a 30 min. drive to any grocery stores. Definitely plan on coming back !

3 nights at Altenbrauch Farm

This campground was great! The small camp store is so cute and there was a table and cooking grates available to borrow. Easy no contact sign-in and firewood available for sale too. Thanks for a great experience!

Weekend Trip to Pop's Place Camping

I really enjoyed my stay. Ed and Michelle are wonderful hosts. They possessed positive vibes and a welcoming spirit. The space was sufficient and peaceful. I look forward to another stay.

Weekend Trip to Sycamore Creek Camp

Super welcoming host! Perfect spot if you are looking for a 1 night stay when traveling through 77! The camp is located about 10 minutes off the Riply exit. My dog Ozone had a blast with all the smells and the little bit of snow the fell. I travel 77 a few times a year and will definitely be stopping again🙂

Weekend Trip to Appalachian Retreat

My partner is writing this review on my behalf since she has stayed at this cabin before and can compare trips: I was so excited to be able to come back and spend some more time in this cabin to see what a cold weather stay would be like, and it did not disappoint. In spite of the fact that the temperatures dropped to a chill factor of about 20, my partner and I stayed warm and cozy inside on account of the wood stove. It’s a small one, and if you start with a cold cabin it will take about an hour or two to reach a comfortable room temperature, but after that we only needed to feed it once in a while to keep the fire going. It burned all the way down overnight while we slept, but the cabin was still a little warm inside when we woke up the next morning. These are close quarters and perfect for a romantic getaway for two. Other than the small birds visiting the feeders, the area was extremely quiet and peaceful. We didn’t hear a soul. It was cold enough that we didn’t get a chance to walk about the property, but we were in the mood to stay cuddled up inside anyway. Just FYI, the composting toilet doesn’t work at these temperatures, so you have to improvise …we kept a bucket inside for #1 during the night.

3 nights at Altenbrauch Farm

Great camping location. Lots of options for settling down in either an open territory or wooded area. Owner is great with responses and very accommodating. Process of checking in and out is very convenient. Very quiet and relaxing.

Appalachian Retreat

5 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents500 acres · Newport, OH

Located in the rolling Appalachian hills of Southeast Ohio. This farm has been in our family since 1869 when our relatives settled here from Germany. This particular location was originally a home site for my grandfather's sister, Lizzie. Originally farmed for cattle and sheep with many orchards over the years our property is now mostly mature forest. Southeast Ohio, including our property is known for its hilly topography and microclimates. Hills range from 400 to 1,000 feet. On our property you will find dry ridges with tree species like Chestnut Oak or humid valleys that resemble a moss-covered temperate rain forest from the pacific northwest. Much of our property has now reached late stage mature forests with an open understory. Nearly 500 acres of land with an additional 200+ acres of Wayne National Forest adjacent to our farm and close proximity to other Wayne areas for outdoor activities. We have nearly 10 miles of available trails for hiking. Many activities can be done at or centered around our property such as excellent and challenging road biking, mountain biking, horseback riding, hiking, fishing, kayaking and boating. We are about one mile from the Little Muskingum river. A great river for kayak trips. The Wayne Kinderhook horse and hiking trail is roughly 5 miles from our location. Hike to the Irish Run Natural Land bridge trail also a short drive to the trailhead from our property. Riding your motorcycle up Rt. 26 is great! A great Ohio byway for scenic driving. This is also a great home base for dual sport or adventure bike motorcycle riders to camp while adventuring along gravel roads through Appalachia. If motorcycles aren't your method of entertainment and travel. Bring your horse and ride on several of our trails. From steep ascents to long flat ridge lines, you will have lots of time to immerse yourself with nature while hiking. We're next to a section of the Wayne National Forest and a short drive to other similar Wayne activities. It's a great place to hear a whip-poor-will sing on a spring night while stargazing as you see a satellite zip past in the sky. If you like to camp, but don't want the busy public park experience then you will enjoy the privacy of our camping location. Camp at our main site along the forest edge near the country backroad with a fire ring and mowed grassy area or there are also several backwoods primitive camp sites available for someone who wants to rough it. We are also only about a 20-minute drive to downtown Marietta. Where you can find restaurants, bars, and many other fun activities.
