Tent

3 nights at Private Forest Campsite

The most perfect camping experience. Felt secluded and in the middle of a forest, without being completely disconnected. I had cell service the whole time and felt very safe, especially camping alone. Beth was an amazing host and was just a text away. If you’re feeling like camping on your own to escape real life for a little bit, this is where you want to go.

Weekend Trip to Trothwood Forest

Really enjoyed tent camping here. The hiking trails around the property were well kept and easy to follow. Found a waterfall I had no idea was nearby. The campsite was easy to find and I enjoyed the walk to it, made it feel very isolated which is what I was hoping for. The host was super nice and offered to get me anything from the gas station in town if I forgot anything. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Private Forest Campsite

Absolutely love this site! This site was super private with hiking around the property, great views, and even a compostable toilet! Beth set up a geocache shortly before our stay and it’s amazing. Bring goodies to trade out on your exploration! Could not hear the sheep dog per previous reviews, but Beth did leave earplugs just in case. Loved the private stream and seclusion of the site from the rest of the world. 10/10, will be coming back!

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 Benton's on the Baileys

Had a great one night stay while passing thru. Easy to find and Keith the owner was great! The bath house is close by and clean. Lots to do in the area and hope to make it back some day! The only downside is this site is right off the road but there is very little traffic.

5 nights at Yourway Camp

Great hosts, awesome site with sounds of small stream and privacy yet close enough to hocking hills hiking for easy day hikes. Hot shower and ample firewood are extra bonuses! Would definitely stay again!

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 !

Weekend Trip to Home Afarm

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

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!

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.

Weekend Trip to Trothwood Forest

Headed up to Trothwood Forest for a winter camping trip this past weekend (Feb. 21-23) and hiking at nearby Zaleski State Forest with a buddy. We booked the Whispering Pines site. Site was clean, well-maintained, and the log benches and firepit with attached cooking spit and grate were a nice convenience with the snow covered ground. Jim the host was great, responded very fast, and was very helpful especially since I got turned around when I first arrived and went the wrong way!! I messaged him and he had someone come out to help show me the site and the right path almost immediately (Tip: if you park at the flagpole, head straight in with the house on your right and you'll see the marked site signs). The sites are well-marked with signs on the path and the pines were beautiful. The path to get to the sites was wide and maintained. Whispering Pines was perfect for a hammock with the tree spacing and we luckily had two clear nights and a beautiful view of the stars above the pines with no light pollution. It got down to 8 degrees the first night and stayed around 15 the second night but the site was well-sheltered from the wind and we only felt a slight breeze which made it better with the cold temps! The site had cellular service the whole time too. We would definitely book again and recommend it. Also, if you're in the area, shout out to Mama Renie's in nearby McArthur which serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner and great pizza when you've been hiking all day!

Weekend Trip to The comfy mountain cabin

My lady and I had a great time here! The view was great and the cabin was heated very well. Will was a great and attentive host!

Weekend Trip to Private Forest Campsite

The farm and campsite was beautiful. We visited in the winter and there was snow on the ground which added to the scene. Getting there was easy and they are willing to help haul your gear back to the campsite. Site was very private and relaxing.

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.

3 nights at Benton's on the Baileys

The owner was great! Greeted us and answered all our questions. The site is along a dry creek. The bathrooms were about 100 yards away. Nice and clean. Beautiful area and perfect basecamp for mountain biking and hiking.

Weekend Trip to Benton's on the Baileys

Awesome little basecamp for baileys trail system! The campsites are insta-fabulous with string lights, adirondack chairs, fire-pits, and picnic tables. The bathroom and shower are brand new and very nice! Only a 30 foot walk from your tent.

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.

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

Weekend Trip to Private Forest Campsite

A beautiful secluded campsite, very quiet and peaceful. Farm animals and a small fishing pond, and trails in the woods, were great attractions for kids. Beth is the Best! She is very accommodating and helpful. Oh, BTW, you need to bring chairs.

2 nights at Yourway Camp

Nice remote feel to it. South facing ridge so in Fall/Winter you can see both sunrise and sunset from site 3. My little 2006 Honda CRV got up there no problem, with a caveat that my I have trail tires on it (Falken Wildpeaks A/T Trail). Put it in first gear and turn off the VSA. Keep a constant lo speed to climb the hill to the amazing campsite. Gunning it will cause tires to spin and lose grip.
