27mi from Sardis · 7 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Newport, OH

Bring a friend and rent this site in conjunction with some of our other sites or split up your camping trip with a night in our backcountry camp site. Located in the rolling Appalachian hills of Southeast Ohio. This farm has been in our family since 1869 when our relatives settled here from Germany. Originally farmed for cattle and sheep with many orchards over the years our property is now mostly mature forest. Southeast Ohio, including our property is known for its hilly topography and microclimates. Hills range from 400 to 1,100 feet. Nearly 500 acres of land with an additional 200+ acres of Wayne National Forest adjacent to our farm and close proximity to other Wayne areas for outdoor activities. We have nearly 10 miles of available trails for hiking. Many activities can be done at or centered around our property. Such as excellent and challenging road biking, mountain biking, horseback riding, hiking, fishing, kayaking and boating. We are two miles from the Little Muskingum River. A great river for kayak trips. The Wayne Kinderhook horse and hiking trail is roughly 5 miles from our location. Hike to the Irish Run Natural Land bridge trail also a short drive to the trailhead from our property. Ride your motorcycle up Rt. 26 a great Ohio byway for scenic driving. This is also a great home base for dual sport or adventure bike motorcycle riders to camp while adventuring along gravel roads through Appalachia. If motorcycles aren't your method of entertainment and travel. Bring your horse and ride on several of our trails. From steep ascents to long flat ridge lines, you will have lots of time to immerse yourself with nature while hiking. We're next to a section of the Wayne National Forest and a short drive to other similar Wayne activity sites. If you like to camp, but don't want the busy public park experience then you will enjoy the privacy of our camping location. We are also only about a 20-minute drive to downtown Marietta. Where you can find restaurants, bars, and many other fun activities.

6. Shiloh @ Foreman Farm

48mi from Sardis · 1 site · Lodging · Vincent, OH

Our farm is located in Washington County, Ohio's rolling hills. There are two small streams, 1.5 miles of developed hiking trails, and acres of forest and fields to explore. The Foreman Farm has been in the family since the early 1970s. It is now in its third generation of Foreman owners. The farm was dubbed Shiloh by one of the first Foreman owners. While it has always provided a place of quiet, rest, and purpose for family and friends, we desire to develop the natural resources and facilities to allow those seeking silence, solitude, sabbath, simplicity, rest, rejuvenation, and refocusing to receive the same benefits as our family and friends have for over fifty years.

7. Wolf Run State Park

Pack your best bait, because Wolf Run State Park is the perfect spot for your next fishing trip. Whether you snag some trout, bluegill, crappie, or catfish, the only missing ingredient will be a container of some Old Bay seasoning. Boating up to 10 horsepower is also permitted along the lake, and don't forget to take advantage of the sprawling 200 feet of beach perfect for a refreshing dip. If you're really feeling daring, bring that scuba diving equipment as well. Walk one of several trails around the campground or to the nature center, where you can watch wildlife amplified. Wolf Run State Park—it's quite the catch.

1 night at Appalachian Retreat Camp

I wish we’d had more time to explore the Appalachian Retreat. It was a lovely and lush piece of land and the little a-frame was very cute and comfortable. I appreciated all of the cool design features of the cabins and outhouse. We only arrived late at night, slept well and had to head out in the morning.

Weekend Trip to Chipmunk Ridge

A great little cabin to celebrate our wedding anniversary. It’s very remote and secluded but is accessible by a gravel road. I think we counted 3 trucks and 2 side by sides as traffic for the entire weekend! The cabin was neat as a button and every question a guest could ever ask was already addressed either in their cabin manual or little notes adjacent to the items. It is SOOOO quiet! What a great place to relax and unwind. Many trails criss-cross the property so bring comfortable shoes. Thanks for the opportunity to share your little slice of heaven!

Weekend Trip to Appalachian Retreat Camp

We stayed at J.’s “Cabin in the Woods” and it was awesome! It’s nestled deep among the trees and really makes you feel like you’re in the woods. It’s so tucked away that it’s hard to see from the lower cabin so make sure you read those instructions carefully! The cabin itself was very clean and comfy! There was a ton of handy extras inside like a lantern, a camping chair, a lighter, a hammock, and even some bug spray! The porch had a nice spot for setting up our camp stove and the area around the solo stove was great for sitting around the fire and hanging out for the evening. J was super helpful and responsive! Can’t recommend it enough if you’re looking for a super isolated stay in the woods! Oh and the bugs weren’t too bad and it rained pretty hard most of the night and we stayed nice and dry in the cabin. Oh and there were two overhead LED bulbs that let us stay up chatting even when the rain drove us inside. Can’t recommend it enough!

I had a wonderful time here. We stayed for a week and got to experience several thunder storms. Peaceful and serene location will lots of amenities. About a 30 min drive to the nearest town for resupply. While there is no TV there is WiFi and a small desk with a PC display and HDMI cable that I was able to plug into so I could complete some work. The shower, stove, and toilet all made the stay very comfortable. The wood burning stove was excellent as was the hvac system with A/C and heat, a refrigerator, and propane range in the kitchen. Would definitely stay again. Perfect for a romantic stay.
