Bare Cove

If you are looking for a party you found it. We have no quiet hours, we do get loud and have a great time on the weekends. Its not uncommon for beer pong or card games to go into the early hours. Not the best idea to bring small children to a rager but were open to all ages and backgrounds, anybody that enjoys making friends and having fun on the lake.  All guests must sign personal injury waivers 
to cover our 6.  So about the property, its 120+ acres with a 5 acre man made lake that features blue waters, a  beach area and tikibar. We have atv trails, private camp sites and group sites. Enjoy the day floating in the clear blue water, fishing (separate pond) or hiking. Our lake also features a launch pillow  for blasting your friends up to 20 ft in the air! We also have inflatable cabanas on the water for rent if you want some R&R. Thanks for looking, would love to host you and your party out at the lake.

Spring rejuvenation of a mulched tent pad and a raked campsite (2022)

This moldering privy is a product of research accumulated over months of hiking the Appalachian Trail. Spacious and well vented.

Parking is located next to our wood shed. 

This is the trail leading to an additional relaxation bench. 

Blue Dog Bike Camp

Our little campground began as Bailey Wayne Bike Camp.  In 2023 we learned that Wayne National Forest wanted to drop "Wayne" from its name, so we decided to rename our campground and campsites in memory of Raleigh and Blue, two wonderful dogs who we wish were still with us.  

This area was once a booming coal mining town in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

The hollow was made up of hundreds of company homes, several mines, and other company buildings.

As the mines died, the forest slowly took over.

 In the 1980s the National Forest began acquiring ownership.

Today, we are just a stone's throw from the new Baileys Trail System.

My wife and I have been biking for years; we've spent a lot of time camping and biking in OH, KY, WV, and NC.

We primarily ride gravel routes on our tandem mountain bike
around Athens and Washington Counties in Ohio.

Our property is 3 acres, which offers enough room to open up a couple primitive campsites so we can share the peacefulness of the forest.

West Maple site has its own single car parking spot closer to camp
