What a cool little place. Stanley and his family have something going for them. The cabin as your night time ambiance is great for any dark enthusiast. 4 German Shepherds for those lovers of the breed. Having the turkey as your white noice was a great experience. So many other cool city escapes scattered across their property (even pigs). Take out what you take in as always!

John’s land is well kept. He and his wife are great hosts. The restroom and showers were very clean. It was wonderful having them available to use. The nights were peaceful. The night sky was beautiful. We’ll definitely be back here.

Roger was super nice and the trails he's got on the property are great! Loads of wildlife all over the place. Super knowledgeable about the local birds and just as a storm was rolling in, he rolled down the hill to come check on us.

I'd come back any time.

We had a great time. We were in town for the Mothman festival so it was nice having a close by inexpensive option to stay at.

John and Julie’s property was perfect for our group camping trip. It’s everything other reviewers have mentione; quiet, private, and the amenities offered makes it easy to feel comfortable wherever you fall on the rustic scale. They were also so kind and quick to reply with any questions. Everyone agreed we found the right spot for our annual family camping trip!

This place is so beautiful! Can't recommend enough. Definitely be prepared for a steep driveway but also a wonderful campsite and hosting experience. Thanks John!

It became a tradition to come too John and Julie at their site with friends! We love the commodity of the gazebo, the shade, the showers and the kitchen with all the convenience. It is always beautifully maintained and we always have such a great time. We rented the 3 sites and come with a group of friend. We had a great time and plan to come back before the winter!

This place is absolutely beautiful. They have made it a hikers paradise. Once settled, we were rewarded by a sunset through the Tulip Poplar and Oaks. The owners are incredibly welcoming and accommodating.
This was our first time “primitive” camping, so it offered some challenges, but the memories made with our kids were more than we could ever ask for. The owners have made the land an oasis worth exploring. We will absolutely be back!

It was a very well kept off grid site.
The fire pit was very charming. The host was very nice.
Consider when booking the availability of bathroom and shower facilities. My family doesn’t mind but it is very rustic approach.

Beautiful location and grounds. Three well dispersed campsites with picnic tables and fire rings. There’s a pavilion with flush toilets, showers, a refrigerator and a large covered concrete area. They also built a stage area where they plan on doing more concerts.
John and Julie were great hosts. We were there for three nights. John greeted us to show us the lay of the land and then stopped by the next day to make sure we had everything we needed. Julie gifted us some of her beautiful natural handmade soaps. We really enjoyed our stay.

I loved everything about Roger's property. Not only was the site we stayed at accommodating, Roger made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. Beautiful landscape with an array of wildlife rustling in the plush forest. Minutes away from the Mothman Museum and other places to visit. I hope to come back and hear more of your stories. Thanks again.

We had such a great time up here! John and Julie were so welcoming and kind! The area was in a beautiful field tucked away on a hilltop. The area was very private, and each campsite was spread out, if each were full it would still feel private. The land was very well maintained, and so were the bathrooms! It was so nice to have the luxury of a private bathroom and shower while camping, especially on a hot day. The trail and walkways around the fields were fun to explore and full of butterflies and birds! It was also close to town too, so it was easy to head in to visit some of my Athens favorites :) I’d absolutely recommend staying here, and will be back! I think this would be a really great spot to come back with a group of friends!

Camping at Tenderfoot was great! Owners were very kind and willing to answer questions and share their land with us. We had a great time using the pond, exploring the property and it's in a good location near Athens and Lake Hope.

Being fairly new to camping this was a great spot! Little over an hour away from Columbus and minutes from Athens. I’m familiar with the area due to being an OU alumni but wish I knew about this hidden gem sooner.
To get to the site there is a bit of a downhill that can be tough after heavy rainfall, so be careful!! We experienced slick conditions but managed. Site was private, serene and a great getaway from the city for a bit. Our pup Indy (Indiana Jones full name lol) had a blast exploring and being a dog.
Got to learn a bit of what happens at Tenderfoot Learning Labs as well and it’s awesome all the programming they have! Definitely on my return Hipcamp List! (Will have to try to other site out next).

We really enjoyed our stay at Tenderfoot, as soon as we hit camp everything was quiet and peaceful. One of the highlights was feeling like you’re in the woods without a long hike! The picnic table and fire pit were well constructed. We enjoyed the natural pit to a metal ring. Overall we really enjoyed this camp!
Things to consider:
It rained each day we were here which made it extremely difficult to carry our gear to and from the car because of the steep incline. There aren’t any steps so you really need to be careful in wet/muddy conditions. There are trails but we weren’t sure where they were so some type of marker/map would be helpful. I didn’t get service which made it challenging to message the host so I would suggest printing info before and scheduling when to drop off wood ahead of time. Also I would suggest bringing a way to keep wood dry like a leakproof tub, the tarp supplied let in a lot of moisture.

A perfect spot to get away from the highway on my way back to NC from NE Ohio. A dark night sky made for fantastic star gazing. Will be back!

Couldn’t have asked for a better camping trip for me and my friends,, the owners are so kind and helpful, the space is big and private, the bathrooms are accessible and clean, and is a short drive from town so we could easily get more stuff if we needed,, we would 100% come back here again <3
