Weekend Trip to Appalachian Retreat Camp
Wife and I had all we needed at the Nature Camper. Camper has water, hot water, stove, oven, fridge, microwave, and a Solo Firepit on the private deck. Lots of charm inside, more like a tiny house with completely new appliances and birch walls. Best of all you are on 500 private acres.
We hiked part of the 10 miles of trails in total privacy. Site also has huge grassy tent area you can expand into with large fire-pit - comes with the camper so no neighbors.
Owner’s family goes back to the original log cabin, that is still there off one of the trails. Owner has made his own private preserve, He was interesting, respectful and responsive. Camper pdf had all the details you need.
Easy drive to Marietta Ohio River historic areas, shopping, dining, activities, and Wayne NF trails. No cell or WiFi but it comes in as you drive down the road. Unplug and enjoy!

What a killer spot. Lizzies RV Retreat is peaceful, remote, and just about perfect. The dark skies are unreal for stargazing, and the camping area has everything you could want. Fire pit, composting toilet, elevated deck for tent campers, cooking tools, and even a 50 amp hookup for those of us who like a little juice in the trailer.
The property backs right up to Wayne National Forest with trails leading straight out from camp. There are vernal pools to check out and plenty of wildlife. Coyotes howling, owls hooting, and total quiet otherwise. You’re only about 15 minutes from Marietta too, where you can grab a drink and some great food at Black Diamond Distillery or hit up the local shops downtown.
Jay was an awesome host. Super friendly, stopped by to chat, shared some cool history about the land, and showed us his on site camper that he remodeled from top to bottom. It looks fantastic and is available to rent.
Jay rides too, so for the motorcyclists out there, this spot is perfect for motorcycle camping. Routes like 26 and 800 are nearby and make for some great rides.
Highly recommend. Can’t wait to go back.

Our new favorite site! Everything about this campsite was perfect! The host J. has literally thought of everything. The site is quite large, and felt really private. The bathroom was so clean, and really nice! Can’t wait to stay again in the future. Definitely screenshot the instructions/guide he emails as there is no cell service at site.

Really great little site. Lots of fun touches that we don’t see often at Hipcamp spots- a nice campfire spot, a picnic table, paw paws (yum!), privacy… and the toilet!! So clean and didn’t smell like anything but the wood the outhouse was built with. That was amazing, honestly. We used a long extension cord and plugged our camper in at the back part of the site, off the road. Worked beautifully. Plenty of sun for our solar panels for boondocking, if we had brought them. Will definitely star this spot!

Our stay at Lizzies RV Boondocking Site was perfect. We enjoyed the stunning property & the super quiet location. The signage for the spot was also super helpful upon arrival. We would love to return to this property in the future! Thank you, J!

J.’s land was so beautiful, the sky was so bright at night, and we felt very secluded (in a good way). J. was very kind and had some fun stories. We enjoyed our time and would definitely love to come back sometime.

J’s place was amazing! The campsite was huge and freshly mowed. There is a nice wooden platform, a composting toilet, a grill, a beautiful fire pit area, and plenty of firewood. J was super kind and helpful. We will definitely stay here again next time we come through.

Super organized and easy to communicate and thorugh. 1 of the best host in this state! Top notch place to enjoy the site and instant trailhead access. Wish I could have stayed longer. Get Livin Outdoors channel on YouTube, will have a glimpse of what we saw.

I will be coming back here, guaranteed. The owner of the land I camped at, J, was a super cool, chill dude. The camp site was awesome with a huge space tucked right into the hills that provided the perfect mix of sun and shade. J even got the outdoor shower up and running for me. There was no cell service at the site but a 1 minute drive up of the hill and you've got it so you can efficiently post all your picks of this cool place to instagram 😊The local town, Marietta, also has anything you’d ever need. Can’t wait to go back!!

This location was awesome! Quiet and beautiful, with trails that connect to the nearby forest, and no cell service! Perfect for disconnecting for a few days.
Marietta, Ohio is just a few minutes away with shopping, dining, fishing, kayaking - so much to do and see there.
J.R.'s property is huge, with lots of hiking opportunities.
The fire pit has a bench seat that was perfect for cozying up when we got back to camp. Also, it was nice to have the composting toilet - it kept us from having to find a dump station on our way home to empty the RV tanks.
We saw deer, turkey, owls, woodpeckers, hummingbirds, and SO MANY FIREFLIES!! The meadows matched the evening sky - it was awesome.
J.R.'s father met us as we arrived and, let me tell you, that man is a gem! Through our conversation, we realized that he (at one time) not only worked in my hometown, but in Shannon's hometown, too! It's a small world.
The amenities were just as described in the listing, with a steady power supply, picnic table, BBQ grill, fire pit, composting toilet, and a nice platform for tent camping.
J.R. even gave us great recommendations for day trips (I even caught some fish!).
Overall, a great escape from the rat race. We'll be back!

A clean, safe, accessible campsite perfect for those with a pop up tent on a suv. (Bronco sport). Or regular tent. Very quiet and peaceful, great spot as a midway point or for exploring nearby Marietta OH. Couldn’t be more pleased. Having a SUV I think is preferable for navigating the roads.
The only down side is no internet or cell service so make sure to make arrangements and get everything done before hand. Literally a 7 min drive to a Walmart if you desperately need internet. I actually enjoyed knowing that I can’t be bothered. Overall 10/10 experience.

This site truly was perfect. There is so much grassy space to spread out, the fire pit was lovely, the platform was great to put our tent on… I could go on and on. The outhouse and composting toilet were the nicest and cleanest we have ever seen. J has truly thought of just about everything. We can’t wait to come back!
