3 nights at Triple D Retreat

Frank was a great host. With all the rain we ended up stuck and he was gracious and came to our rescue. This, despite us ignoring his advice on where to park the camper due to the immense rain they've been having. This was our second time on his property and both have been excellent, quiet, secluded experiences. We'll be back again for sure.

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!

3 nights at Triple D Retreat

This is a great site with plenty of room. The shelter was great. Perfect spot to watch the sunrise and the moon was fabulous. If you’re craving peace and quiet this is the place for you. There is a lot of history in the area and lots of roads to go overlanding and exploring.

1 night at Sycamore Retreat

The pros-Nice spot just out of Buchtel, lots of space, easy to access with two wheel drive, near the creek with a fire ring. Last minute booking and very affordable. The cons- a little hard to find (glad I saw the previous review about the blue reflector). As a queer, single , woman I was a little nervous as I pulled up as the across the street neighbors have lots of Trump flags in confederate flags. I thought that was the spot because that’s where Google maps stops (just a note to those in similar situation). It’s southern Ohio. It comes with the territory, so certainly not an issue to be nearby. You are well tucked in, but the sound still carries from the road and the across the street properties. You can hear dogs and chickens at night. A little trash left on the property,. I tried to grab some to leave it better than I found it.

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.

Weekend Trip to Butterfly Valley at Zaleski

Went off season, a great spot to backpack at the nearby trails and a nice clean and spacious area with hookup. Clearly marked and firewood available. It was a weekend and trails were busy Saturday. Zero cell service until about 2 miles away off the main road. Very little noise pollution and peaceful with lots of birds to see even in November. All friendly neighbors, backpackers, trail riders and locals. Would love to come back in the Spring, host was great very quick to reply

Beautiful site very quiet and relaxing we really enjoyed our weekend

Weekend Trip to Salt Creek Camp at Sunnyvale Farm

Peaceful night’s sleep and wonderful host. He was planting trees while we were there which will offer more privacy and sound dampening from road in the future - but we were not bothered by the cars driving by. We also enjoyed a short walk across to the Hocking River. We would definitely stay there again.

If you’re looking for a spot to camp that is completely private and peaceful, this is your spot! The cabin itself is cozy and the compostable toilet is very easy to use. There are many amenities provided for cooking, both for cooking over the fire or on a propane stove. There is even firewood provided, but we brought some of our own to supplement as well so we wouldn’t exhaust J’s supply! When we arrived, J offered to help us take our wood and supplies to the cabin with his UTV, but he does also provide a wagon you can use if he isn’t there. The cabin is a short walk from where you park. I’m not sure how large the property is, but my partner and I went on a 2 hour hike on the trails that J mentioned and I’m sure we only saw a fraction of what was out there. I would say the trails are not for beginner hikers, as there are frequent inclines and declines. We did rent both cabins so we would have the space to ourselves, but the second, smaller cabin is somewhat tucked away up on a hill. We could only just see the top of it peeking through the trees. The foliage was beautiful out there, definitely worth a visit! We will absolutely camp here again!

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.

Bowman farm

1 site · RV, Tent20 acres · Carbon Hill, OH

This campsite is in the woods just off the driveway to our farm. It is surrounded by beautiful forest and borders a beautiful ravine. There are lots of deer and turkeys in the area. There are a few coyotes around too, but they have not caused any problems for us. It is about 15 minutes from downtown Logan, 30 minutes to the caves, and just down the road from Wayne national forest. There are no amenitys yet. Also it will be a little tight for anything bigger than a sprinter van. Bigger campers can fit, but require some backing.
