Weekend Trip to Salt Creek Camp at Sunnyvale Farm

This HipCamp is only 10 minutes from campus. It is a great option for visiting the college without having to pay crazy hotel prices! Also, the host is fabulous. This past weekend was so wet that our camper ended up getting a little stuck. Ed, the host, offered to let us leave it until it dries out or pull us out! He is so helpful and accommodating. Cannot recommend this option enough!

Weekend Trip to Woody Acres

The Bus stay at Woody's was great! It rained through the night and we were nice and dry. We had a short visit, but super relaxing. Pre-ordered fire starter and wood and it was covered n dry and just waiting to be lite, which was very convenient. Loved having water to wash hands/brush teeth in the bus. Option to use stove in the bus as well, even though we didn't need it this time. Comfortable bed and peaceful atmosphere. The bus is located far enough from other sites, to be private, but close enough to use the outhouse. Loved also having water and soap outside the outhouse to wash hands. Would definitely return to this property and spend multi days there instead of just a one night quick trip.

5 nights at Yourway Camp

Great hosts, awesome site with sounds of small stream and privacy yet close enough to hocking hills hiking for easy day hikes. Hot shower and ample firewood are extra bonuses! Would definitely stay again!

Weekend Trip to Woody Acres

This was our first camping trip as a family, and we needed to find something more comfortable than a tent for the little ones first trip. Directions provided by the host made settling in a breeze. The hospitality surpassed expectations, and they even offered us coffee one morning! Everything from the camper to the privy was super clean. We spent one morning exploring the trails on the property, and then visited a nearby cave that was only about 15 minutes away. Very informative conversations about the area and recommendations of things to do from the host. We even got to observe the process of processing, and tanning animal hides! Austin also offers some very useful survival classes you can add on to your trip, and we look forward to learning more next time!

Weekend Trip to The cozy mountain cabin

Clean facilities and a friendly host. Hot shower, full kitchen and great a porch! The band I'm in stayed the weekend and were able to play music all day and into the night. The host was accommodating and friendly.

6 nights at Woody Acres

I absolutely loved the Hickory Hut! The property is very secluded, and Austin and Kate made us feel right at home on the property. This is certainly a little hidden gem, and I am really looking forward to getting the opportunity to come stay again. Thank you both for having us!

Weekend Trip to Woody Acres

Great land, great people, great hospitality. Will always make a point to stay at Woody when we are in Ohio.

2 nights at Yourway Camp

Nice remote feel to it. South facing ridge so in Fall/Winter you can see both sunrise and sunset from site 3. My little 2006 Honda CRV got up there no problem, with a caveat that my I have trail tires on it (Falken Wildpeaks A/T Trail). Put it in first gear and turn off the VSA. Keep a constant lo speed to climb the hill to the amazing campsite. Gunning it will cause tires to spin and lose grip.

Weekend Trip to Hilltop Resorts and Campgrounds

It was a beautiful area and all the fall colors were perfect.

Weekend Trip to Hilltop Resorts and Campgrounds

We stayed in a pull-thru RV spot. The location is very clean and quiet. We needed bundles of firewood after normal hours and they were kind and answered and brought us 2 bundles. We will camp here next time we go to Hocking Hills.

Weekend Trip to Yourway Camp

Host was great and very accommodating. Site 3 was very nice and secluded. Would definitely recommend.

Weekend Trip to Woody Acres

Wonderful hosts, thoughtful and cozy accommodations, and beautiful land! Don’t miss this place! Everything you need to comfortably enjoy your time in the beautiful hills of southeastern Ohio. If you’re inspired by homestead living, sustainability, and sharing quality time with new friends and the ones you already love, you’ll never want to leave. Don’t forget to sign up for the survival skills! I learned a lot and it was so fun learning from Austin. He’s a true expert and a natural teacher.

Weekend Trip to Woody Acres

Very sweet, little cabin, simple amenities but everything you need! You can tell it was stocked and decorated with intention. Kate, one of the owners, came by and introduced herself and offered us veggies from her garden. The sites are within view of each other while still being far enough apart to provide privacy. Would definitely recommend to anybody but specifically to people who want to try out more of a glamping experience instead of camping.
