Established in 1983 on a 60-acre plot of land right in the Shawnee State Forest. The property is beautiful with flat land, fields, and at the back are the foot hills of the Appalachian Mountains. We put a horse farm on the land in 2000. The horses here are my family and I want to expand and offer more opportunities on the land. That's when I came across Hipcamp! I'm excited to share a piece of my heaven that I'm fortunate enough to call home.

State park 20mi from Minford · 24 sites
Nestled in the greater Shawnee State Forest, Shawnee State Park brings 1,095 acres of scenic Appalachian foothills. Considered one of the most photogenic areas in the state, we have a feeling you'll enjoy the lush valleys and wooded hills. Lace up those old boots and hike one of six trails, or bring your trusty steed for a couple beautiful bridle trails. Nature geeks will love to sneak a peek at the Nature Center, which is chock full of educational information about the surrounding area. With boating, fishing, sport courts, and even an 18-hole golf course, it would almost be a challenge not to stay active in the Little Smokies.

The Viking longhall has been 9 years in the making by a group of semi serious Viking enthusiasts: the result is a 60 foot long building that has 18, 8,x4' sleeping berths. Set apart from the main open area it also boasts 2 meeting rooms and a kitchen.
The campsite is a very peaceful place. Some go as far as to say a healing place! We are proud of what we have achieved and now want people to come out and enjoy it also.
The field is close enough to the Appalachian highway (state route 32) for convenience, but far enough not to be bothered by it. The area is steeped in Native American culture. In fact, the world famous Serpent Mound is but 8 miles away, with many other Adena culture sites within easy driving distance. It's also in the heart of the Amish community. The area is known for its natural beauty with many hiking trails and canoeing opportunities.
The area is awash in beauty and history from the ancient mound culture to the amish culture. The area has many hiking trails some of which are part of the buckeye trail and range in length from an easy 1 mile loop to rugged hikes of many miles.
Come out and share the land that we have loved for the last 30 years
PLEASE NOTE….WE WILL NO LONGER BE SUPPLYING BEDDING OR TOWELS.

This was our second time camping here and it was even better than the first! My son loves it here. We stayed for 2 days. Beth helped transport all of our things in the UTV which was so helpful! We walked the creek and the trails. Played frisbee, made yummy food and made memories. I really loved seeing all of the wildflowers on my walk. Beth is very hospitable and kept us with a freshly powered Jackery so that my son could sleep with his heated blanket. Her dogs are the sweetest, and we got to experience nature in every sense of the word. It really is a special place.

Beth and Brian are wonderful! The campsite is well maintained, the wood bundles they offer are generous, theres plenty of trails to hike on the property, and its so peaceful and quiet here. My favorite part was making breakfast in the morning and hearing their sheep bleat in the distance. Very relaxing spot for a weekend getaway. Don't forget they offer UTV hauling to and from the campsite! Its a decent hike so I'd recommend it if you're a bit of an over packer like myself and my friends!

Had an absolutely beautiful stay here! We only stayed for a night which was not nearly long enough to fully appreciate the tranquility and beauty of the place. David was an amazing host, left firewood at the tent site, offered us beef stew at night and coffee in the morning, and even explained how we could build a better fire with some fire starters he left us. The tent site had enough privacy to still feel fully immersed in nature even with other campers nearby. Lots of birds and butterflies. We will definitely be back and feel like we got a full escape and recharge from the chaos of the world. Best sleep I’ve ever had.

Wild Ridge was a delightful and peaceful place to camp. With only a few campsites available, we had the luxury of sharing the area with just two other couples during our stay, making it feel quite private. The full hookups at our site were a great convenience.
While the campground is still a work in progress, it offered excellent value for the price. One area noted for improvement is around the fire pit; it could use some leveling to make seating more comfortable. However, the provided firewood was a nice touch, as purchasing wood can add up quickly, and it's best not to transport it from other places.
Although they mentioned selling wood as well, we found ourselves settling in for the night after a day of hiking and dinner, which made the supplied wood the perfect amount. If you're someone who enjoys the amenities of a KOA, this might not be the spot for you. However, for those who prefer remote sites and the chance to escape the crowds, Wild Ridge offers a great balance.
Overall, we had a wonderful time and are likely to return!

We had a great stay overall. The Viking long hall was definitely a standout—such a unique and memorable feature that really sets this place apart.
David and Iveagh were very kind and welcoming, and made it clear they were available if we needed anything. As experienced campers we didn’t need much assistance, but it was appreciated knowing they were there.
The available hot shower and water were a great accommodation and definitely added to the comfort of the stay.
The campsites are not on top of each other, but they aren’t very dispersed either. If you’re looking for a more private, spread-out experience, this may not be the best fit. Regardless, we felt nothing but welcome and accommodated.
Overall, a really cool spot with a lot of character. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others looking for something a little different.

It’s definitely a haul from where you park your car to the tent site so I highly suggest you pack lightly but once you get there, it’s a really nice spot in the woods with everything you need. Also, definitely follow the directions provided as Google maps will try to take you down a road that has closed. We were only there one night and did not have time to explore the trails but looks pretty neat. Could see one coming from the campsite going off into the woods and the grassy hill before you get to the campsite looks to be a good spot to see the stars on a clear night.

Another extraordinary experience at Bear Pond. I appreciate the dark skies for stargazing and the open stage where wildlife appears.
This season, Red-shouldered Hawks carried the daytime, and Barred Owls took their turns whenever the mood suited them.
I’m grateful that Host John has opened Bear Pond to Hipcampers. Having this place as a base camp shortens the distance to the trails I return to. From here, I’m never far from trails to explore. And when I’m back at camp, I’m still immersed in it, surrounded by woods, hills, and holler.
It brings an ease to the rhythm of the stay—a short drive back to camp, and West Union is close enough if something’s needed or forgotten.
On the hill, there’s now 5G (Verizon), which brings reassurance when keeping track of the weather.
Host John is a thoughtful caretaker of the land. It feels like a second home whenever I visit.

They were doing some cleanup around the sites and it looks great. I was there for the Saturday night fire safety seminar and bonfire on the beach.
