Blue Rock is straight out of a woodland fairy tale. Seriously, don’t be surprised if pixies flutter over to help you pitch your tent. Dainty wildflowers dot the forest’s lush undergrowth. Deer, grouse, squirrel and wild turkey are just a few of the creatures that call the park home (and might become your new best friend). Believe it or not, the park’s beauty is, in part, thanks to The Great Depression. Economic woes forced farmers to abandon their lands, which allowed them revert back to dense forest (Thanks, GDP).The waters of Cutler Lake provide ample boating, paddling, fishing and swimming with picnic areas on its shores. There’s a diversity of camping accommodations at Blue Rock, from uber-rustic to downright swanky. No matter where you slumber, don’t be surprised if you wake up sprinkled with a little magic fairy dust.

Leftovers of an abandoned mine give Lake Hope State Park its rustic charm, where a nearly 3,000-acre lake provides ample opportunity for outdoor fun in the sun. Seven hiking paths and eight biking trails mean you'll have multiple chances to discover the steep gorges that characterize this densely forested area. Hunt in the adjacent Zaleski State Forest or catch some crappie or bluegill in the expansive lake for some fresher than fresh dinner. If you're not in the mood for cooking your catch or devouring another can of baked beans, consider moseying over to Lake Hope Lodge, which will treat your palate to hickory smoked barbecue and smoked meats and sides by the pound. Cushy beaches, interpretive center exhibits, and a variety of ball courts will burn those calories off in no time.

Dogwood Cabin is an off grid experience. Think glamping. It is set on 25 acres in the rolling hills of Morgan County in southeast OH, close to the village of Chesterhill. Hidden in the woods, back a gravel driveway. No electricity, no running water, no central heat, no WiFi, no cell service. Truly getting out into nature without distractions.
Hang your hammock between trees. Build a fire to grill your meals. Relax on the porch swing or by the fire. Hike the property, play in the creek.
Dogwood Cabin has a small kitchenette. There is a propane camping stove and some pots, pans, coffee maker, and dishes. We have a grill to place over the fire pit.
There are 4 mattresses in the loft. No linens. Bring sleeping bags, etc.
No running water. Bring water in jugs for drinking, cleaning up and dousing the fire.
Buddy propane heater to take off the chill inside, but not make it cozy.
Bring a flashlight or lantern. We have several battery lanterns. On low, the lights should work for 6-8 hours. On high, much less.
An outhouse (think wooden porta potty) is not far from the cabin.
No cell service or internet. Chesterhill is about 2 miles and has service in numerous places on Main St. We have gone up the hill at the church in Todds - right on Goshen Run, left on St Rt 377, about 2 miles.
Firewood is not provided. You can bring your own or scrounge the woods for dead branches and twigs. Please douse the fire before leaving. Rake leaves away from the fire pit. Dry materials could easily start a forest fire.
8 plastic deck chairs are stacked on the porch. Please put them back and secure the cover before you leave.
We encourage you to get groceries on your way to the cabin, since it is 30 minutes to a decent grocery store. Chesterhill has Ron's Convenience and Restaurant where you can buy subs, pizza, burgers, fries, and groceries. Triple Nickel Diner in Chesterhill is another neat place to eat.
No motorcycles on the driveway.
You may enjoy hiking the 25 acres on the property. Nature is awesome, but check yourselves and your pet for ticks.
24 hours before your arrival, you should receive a message with the code to get in at the digital entry door, plus a bit more information that you may enjoy.

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.

Established in 1949, Sunnyvale Farm is a working family farm offering convenient, trail‑adjacent camping near some of Southeast Ohio’s best outdoor and university attractions. Located just minutes from the Bailey Mountain Bike Trail System, Ohio University, and the Hockhocking Adena Bikeway, our sites provide an easy‑access base camp for RV travelers, cyclists, and guests eager to explore the region.
The farm spans approximately 160 acres along the Hocking River, with a mix of open fields and forested hillsides. Our campground area is not secluded and is situated along a secondary state route, which makes it easy to find and navigate. While guests may notice daytime traffic, the area is generally quiet overnight and well‑suited for active visitors who plan to spend their days exploring and return to rest in the evening.
Guests are welcome to enjoy the farm—visit our friendly goat, walk down to the river for fishing, pick seasonal fruit (blackberries ripen in late summer), or hike the surrounding hills and woodlands. Informal walking paths are available, with additional trails planned as the farm continues to evolve.

Erik and Olivia were introduced to the little piece of family land that would become Fern Hollow Farm in June of 2014. What was an Alfalfa (medicago sativa) field lain fallow for seven years, would soon have bigger ambitions. After walking the meadow and feeling the magic of place, Olivia and Erik began the work of designing. Shortly thereafter, they set off across the US, staying at various permaculture oriented farms; with herbalists, seed savers and more, looking for inspiration and learning everything they could along the way. One seed saver, the awe-inspiring Sylvia Davatz of Solstice Seeds in Vermont, gifted them the two wild Kazak apple trees that are on either side of the entrance, and are featured in the logo as well.Begun officially in 2015, Fern Hollow Farm is an ever-evolving, community-based entity inspired by three simple ethics: Earth Care * People Care * Fair Share

We loved staying at Esther's place! It's just as advertised, if not even more charming. We were there during the hottest week of the year so far (temps near triple digits), and the A/C & fans kept up well. The furnishings were comfortable and along with the items we brought from home, made for a cozy stay. Thank you!!

3 nights at Hocking Hills Family Fun Center
Pay attention to the pictures. The cabin itself is as follows: 1 bunkbed with a queen/full size bottom bunk bed. And an additional bed. 3 total. A microwave, mini fridge like in a dorm room and a small window unit air conditioner. The bathroom/showers are about 100 yards away depending on what cabin you stay in. It is very peaceful. The air conditioner does cool the cabin sufficiently. Picnic table. Fire pot. There is electricity. You Can plug in other things easily. No TV but honestly we didnt even care. So much to do on the campground itself. They have putt putt. A monstrous inflatable water park for the kids. Showing movies at night. Very nice. Very clean. Very good experience and I am usually too bougie to be honest.

We really liked the hilltop campsite. We travel in a 37 foot motorhome and it was easy to navigate through their Campground. We also ran out of propane on the way into their Campground and they do fill fixed propane tanks in motorhomes so that was a nice addition we didn’t have to go search for that somewhere else. We stayed there for three nights. It’s quiet and they have activities for kids and adults. They have some nice trails that lead down to the lake . The surrounding area had lots to do.

I needed a place to spend the night on my cross-country trip. This place was perfect during the planning stage, 8 hrs of driving and a pull thru spot. The pluses were huge, full hook up, easy to navigate, helpful staff, friendly neighbors and quiet. I needed a place to sleep after being on the road, the place was great, flat spot so no leveling, I didn’t even disconnect and 12 hours later I was back on the road. Great place!
