There is a craving to get back into nature, to stay in unique places, to revel in little indulgences, and to have inspiring experiences. Satisfy your cravings with a unique glamping experience at Canvas Cottages™ Glampsite! We're located in the rolling Appalachian Foothills of Coshocton County. You'll be staying in the midst of 13 acres of old hardwoods on an easy incline with a beautiful 3/4 acre pond as your focal point. HQ, our central gathering place, transports glampers back to those summer camp days gone by. It's where our glampers will find fishing gear, yoga equipment, arcade & board games, craft kits, souvenirs, more firewood, and so much more. There's nothing better than spending the day by, on, or in the water. So we stocked the pond and provided our guests with a row boat, a floating dock with hanging chairs, and a wood-fired hot tub to name just a few of the amenities around the pond. While hiking our trails, glampers will also discover a zipline, archery range, tomahawk throwing target, secret library, corn hole court, bonfire pit, and so much more! Our goal is to provide a meaningful and sustainable adventure while giving you some hands-on experience with living off-grid in an environmentally friendly habitat. Each glampsite's theme also strives to transport you to a legendary place and time for that "Historically Modern Glamping Experience." Canvas Cottages™ is a space for you to engage in contemplative actions that connect you with yourself, with others, with nature, and with the great outdoors! Canvas Cottages is minutes away from Rosco Village, a restored 1830s canal town, and Ohio's largest Amish community where you'll find lots of great shopping, homestyle cooking, unique history, and breathtaking rural countryside views. We're also right along the path of 'The 3 Rivers Wine Trail’ where you can tour 7 wineries & a brewery all within a day's scenic drive.

Edge of the Ledge Camp is a 4 site primitive campground on ground is located in a mature oak hardwood forest that offers bright light under a full forest canopy. In our many camping adventures over the years our favorite campgrounds were in our National Forests. We have built the campground with that "feel" of a forest experience. We provide a drinking water station, 2 clean sit arewidely spaced and offer considerable privacy. There is great scenic motor touring from Spring Mountain, the highest point in the county, across the Mohawk Dam, to riverside drives, scenic backroads and a ride across a covered bridge! Walk the forested blue loop nature trail on an adjoining 13 acres that loops through BIG trees and large rocks of glacial till under the shade of an ancient chestnut oak tree. The trail begins across the road opposite the campground driveway. Ticks, mosquitos and deer flies can be bad at times. Protect yourself! See us on Facebook at Edge of the Ledge Camp. The 7 Principals of Leave No Trace *Plan Ahead and Prepare *Know the regulations and special concerns for the area you'll visit. *Prepare for extreme weather, hazards, and emergencies. *Schedule your trip to avoid times of high use. *Visit in small groups when possible. Consider splitting larger groups into smaller groups. *Repackage food to minimize waste. *Use a map and compass or GPS to eliminate the use of marking paint, rock cairns or flagging. (this is a challenging one for us...any suggestions?) *Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces Durable surfaces include maintained trails and designated campsites, rock, gravel, sand, dry grasses or snow. *Protect riparian areas by camping at least 200 feet from lakes and streams. *Good campsites are found, not made. Altering a site is not necessary. In popular areas: *Concentrate use on existing trails and campsites. *Walk single file in the middle of the trail, even when wet or muddy. *Keep campsites small. Focus activity in areas where vegetation is absent. In pristine areas: Disperse use to prevent the creation of campsites and trails. Avoid places where impacts are just beginning. Dispose of Waste Properly Pack it in, pack it out. Inspect your campsite, food preparation areas, and rest areas for trash or spilled foods. Pack out all trash, leftover food and litter. Utilize toilet facilities whenever possible. Otherwise, deposit solid human waste in catholes dug 6 to 8 inches deep, at least 200 feet from water, camp and trails. Cover and disguise the cathole when finished. Pack out toilet paper and hygiene products. To wash yourself or your dishes, carry water 200 feet away from streams or lakes and use small amounts of biodegradable soap. Scatter strained dishwater. Leave What You Find Preserve the past: examine, photograph, but do not touch cultural or historic structures and artifacts. Leave rocks, plants and other natural objects as you find them. Avoid introducing or transporting non-native species. Do not build structures, furniture, or dig trenches. Minimize Campfire Impacts Campfires can cause lasting impacts to the environment. Use a lightweight stove for cooking and enjoy a candle lantern for light. Where fires are permitted, use established fire rings, fire pans, or mound fires. Keep fires small. Only use down and dead wood from the ground that can be broken by hand. Burn all wood and coals to ash, put out campfires completely, then scatter cool ashes. Respect Wildlife Observe wildlife from a distance. Do not follow or approach them. Never feed animals. Feeding wildlife damages their health, alters natural behaviors, [habituates them to humans], and exposes them to predators and other dangers. Protect wildlife and your food by storing rations and trash securely. Control pets at all times, or leave them at home. Avoid wildlife during sensitive times: mating, nesting, raising young, or winter. Be Considerate of Other Visitors Respect other visitors and protect the quality of their experience. Be courteous. Yield to other users on the trail. Step to the downhill side of the trail when encountering pack stock. Take breaks and camp away from trails and other visitors. Let nature's sounds prevail. Avoid loud voices and noises. These principles were established by the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics, and built on work by the US Forest Service, National Park Service, and Bureau of Land Management in the mid 1980s. This relationship continues today. The principles are based on and informed by scientific research in the fields of recreation ecology and human dimensions of natural resources.

Weekend Trip to Edge of the Ledge Camp

Tim's space was great! From the cleanest portable toilet I've ever seen to the buckets of water for drowning the fire, it was a really great experience. A great place for hammock camping, too, with plenty of trees to hang from. The meadow overlook gave a nice break in the tree cover for star watching!

Weekend Trip to Edge of the Ledge Camp

I love that this campground is close enough that I can get here before dark on Friday after work. I had one of those weeks when I said to myself "I need to go sit by myself in the woods." And that's what I did. This morning I woke up before dawn and could see some of the stars peeking through the tree canopy. Fortunately for me, there was no one camped at the Meadow View site. So I took my coffee over there to sit on the wooden bench near the meadow and admired the Orion constellation before the sun came up. I was greeted by the day with sightings of deer, squirrels, birds, and a gentle sunrise. Came home feeling grounded and restored. ❤️

This is one of the best sites I've ever camped at. Secluded, wooded trails, fire rings, pet friendly and clean bathrooms. Tim was such a gracious and kind host. I have already told a few friends about it. I would absolutely recommend camping at Tim's "Edge of the Ledge"!

NOW THIS IS GLAMPING! The Bombay Belle is a truly unique experience. Relax in nature at this off-grid glamorous camping site.

We recently had our first-ever glamping experience at Canvas Cottages, and I can confidently say it set an impossibly high bar. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this wasn't just a place to stay—it was a truly special, detail-oriented experience. We stayed in the magnificent Bombay Belle, which was far more than just a tent; it was a huge, luxurious, and perfectly equipped sanctuary. The hosts have literally thought of every single thing you could possibly need, all while maintaining a commitment to sustainability. The entire space was spotlessly clean and felt incredibly comfortable. What truly made our stay so relaxing and memorable were the incredible amenities and activities. We spent our days by the fire pit, tried our hand at fishing, and had a blast with the classic nostalgic games. The unique activities like tomahawk throwing and archery added a fun, adventurous twist to the getaway. We also loved the secret library, which was such a cool touch! Beyond the beautiful accommodations and activities, the hosts were absolutely lovely people who made us feel so welcome. Their wonderful dog, Spirit, was an absolute joy and a perfect companion to the serene surroundings. This was more than just a trip—it was a chance to disconnect and fully immerse ourselves in a beautiful, peaceful environment. We left feeling completely refreshed and are already planning our return. If you're looking for an unforgettable glamping experience, look no further than Canvas Cottages.

A gorgeous and grounding place to be in. This site particularly offered a stunning view in the rising sun. I lifted my head out of my hammock, cooled by the canopy above, and saw the horses in the meadow, while the sun rose and colored the Coshocton canvas around me. Vibrant, verdent -- these greens sing! Walking the trail brought twists and turns of awe and delight, peace, curiosity, connection. The pond hugged by delicious black raspberries. I can do rustic, but boy these clean portapotties sure are a blessing. And this is just some of the beauty, and all before you meet the hosts, who are the kindest folks you can find. True appreciation for connection and community, between people and planet -- such a beauitful place! 10/10 reccomend to any beloved being looking for the feeling of being held, and oh so alive, and -- even if only in the company of the roots, the rocks, the moss, the trees -- anything but alone <3

It was absolutely beautiful! Knowing it was our honeymoon they went out of their way to get us a bottle of wine, forest cover meant even the rain through out the weekend never spoiled our fun, and the honey is to die for! I promise they have thought of everything you haven’t! With so many activities and amazing relaxing spots you’d never have to leave! The most sweet pup wonders the property, who often came to get some love and check in on us! Super close to some amazing spots - you’ll have to ask the owners for their favorites spots!

Diana and Don’s land is truly a magical place! We left the weekend feeling rested, recharged, and grateful to have spent time on such a beautiful property with such lovely hosts. From the gorgeous Bombay Belle tent to the hammocks on the dock—and one of the most beautiful sunsets we’ve ever seen in their stunning woods—this place is incredibly special and will leave you with lasting memories. I also want to add how incredibly accommodating they were to our dog 💗 She was treated so well, complete with her own adorable pup tent, and had a blast exploring the property alongside Diana and Don’s amazing dog, Spirit! We can’t wait to come back!

Weekend Trip to Edge of the Ledge Camp

Site 4 had so much space and the tree canopy offered protection from sun and light rain, but was high enough to make the Site feel light and airy. The fire ring and picnic table were very clean and well maintained, as well as the port a johns and water station. You could tell that the hosts cared about the land, and the sites, and took the time to keep everything clean, organized ,and well maintained. There was some rough weather that rolled through while we were there and Tim checked on us to make sure our camp Site had survived the heavy rain and that we had all we needed to get a fire started and be comfortable over night. The loop trail that they have on site had some great rocks and huge trees and was well worth the time. Edge of the Ledge gets a top review from us!

My husband and our 3 dogs tent camped on Tim's land. The place is a stunning, peaceful oasis that offered up true sanctuary to some truly world weary travelers. Because of Tim and his wife's stewardship of the land, you have the chance of seeing a variety of wildlife that pop in for a quick hello before carrying on with their charmed lives. Even though I was traveling with my husband, I would have felt perfectly comfortable camping there as a solo female traveler. They are considerate hosts who make sure you have all the firewood you need for your stay but also share their enthusiasm for natural habitat and cultivate a truly safe space for all. I think their kindness is a big part of the enchantment of this place. There are nature trails and porta potties for your use. This is a primitive camp site so no annoying generators or electrical mojo will interrupt your vibe. I highly recommend taking the opportunity to rejuvenate on a camping excursion at their sites.

Edge of the Ledge is very much like camping in a National Forest campground. Plenty of personal space enveloped by forest in all directions. With many of the amenities I bring myself in my campervan, I always plan to pack it in, pack it out. I still very much enjoy the amenities provided by the campground such as clean portapotty, grey water dumping station, pristine & functional fire ring with grill, and garbage can. The views are everywhere. The wildlife is plentiful. Cell service is good at site even if it can get spotty on the rural roads of Ohio. Tim and Roberta are the best camphosts you could even imagine. I love them!

Beautiful little slice of Ohio. Great sites, spread out with lots of privacy. Tim was great and does an excellent job. We stayed in site 4, great for a larger group but the walk in site looks amazing also. They all are nice spots. Lotta cool large sandstone throughout the property and giant old tree on the trail. We heard dogs barking from adjacent properties most of the night.
