Mostly wooded, this 7.2-acre property features rolling hills and a stream. The woods include groves and unique spaces to explore, and by 2026 the paths will be more fully formed for easier access. The hills throughout the property provide beautiful views, and the landscape is alive with ferns, moss, deer, pollinators, trees, and plants. Thanks to the excellent air and water quality, salamanders and toads also thrive here—though they may take a little searching to spot. During the day, the dappled light makes the site feel magical. The campsite includes a furnished yurt with a bed, fold-out couch, chair, table, and beverage bar for coffee, tea, and water. Propane burners and utensils are provided for cooking, along with an open-fire grill (removable from the fire pit if needed). The outhouse features a composting toilet, a wash area for hands and face, basic hygiene products, and potable water. Additional potable water is also available in the yurt. A dining table with chairs is provided, and plenty of firewood and kindling are stocked for your stay. Solar lights along the trail, on the outhouse, and on the yurt create a warm, cozy atmosphere at night. This property is conveniently located within 20 minutes of the UNESCO World Heritage Hopewell Mound sites, Legend Valley, and Buckeye Lake (30 minutes), as well as OSU Newark, Denison University, the Longaberger Basket Building, and Dawes Arboretum. Grocery stores and restaurants are nearby, with a gas station and mini market just half a mile down the road. Columbus city center is about a 45–50 minute drive. The drive here follows scenic country roads, so please be mindful of winding turns and local wildlife along the way.

What a perfect way to spend the weekend. Lisa put a lot of thought into preparing the camper. It was decorated nicely and was supplied with all the necessary items to make a weekend away complete. The scenery was peaceful with a perfect view of the river. I will be recommending this spot to all of our family and friends. Would love to bring our grandchildren...lots of room for tents. Great for those who want to give camping a try or those like ourselves who love to camp but are unable to any longer for what ever reason. Highly recommend you give it a try. We were very pleased.

2 nights at At Whispering Pines Ringgold

We loved this cabin. With the porch on two sides of the cabin, the fire pit area and picnic table there are plenty of cool spots to hang out and relax. Had fun playing horseshoes too. There are two comfortable queen beds and a small couch that pulls out into a twin bed as well. The kitchen had what we needed and between the electric fireplace and the ceiling fans and AC you will never get too hot or cold. Thanks for a great stay Chad. I appreciated how quickly you answered our questions. We will be back

Ryan and Jodi land was our absolute favorite! They were so friendly upon arrival, and were great at communicating and updates over the weekend and made sure to make themselves available for any questions. We loved how quiet the area was and Ryan and Jodi were so kind to prepare drinking water, firewood, and a camp shower ready for use. We would love to come back and highly recommend!
