Ohio River Camping

Adventure Ohio, LLC At Adventure Ohio, we offer multiple camping options for you to choose from. Bring your own gear and set up at one of our riverfront primitive sites or our river-view site across the road. Enjoy beautiful river sunsets, access for paddleboarding and kayaking, fun swimming and rock jumping, campfires, and the peaceful rhythm of passing river barges. While a busy road passes through the property, most guests quickly tune out the traffic and instead become attuned to the whistle of the nearby lock, announcing the comings and goings of barges along the Ohio River. This is a family-owned property—my brother and his kids live on one end, and my mother lives on the other. Between them sits the Adventure Ohio campground, so there’s always someone around to help if you need anything. We also operate an Ohio River water guide company on-site. When available, you can rent kayaks, paddleboards, or river tubes during your stay for an additional fee. You’re also welcome to bring your own equipment. Things to Note Because this is a nature-based site, you may encounter bugs, mosquitoes, ticks, poison ivy, snakes (including the occasional copperhead), deer, raccoons, skunks, and other local wildlife. We do our best to keep poison ivy cleared from most areas and are continuously working on copperhead control as we encounter them. Please plan accordingly—bring bug spray, keep food secured from animals, and dress appropriately when walking in wooded areas to avoid poison ivy and snakes.

Weekend Trip to Whippoorwill Retreat

Really close to ohio river and Forked Run State Park where we kyacked. Amazing property. A little hike in up and down through the woods. Greeted with the cutest little cabin stocked with anything you could possibly need and more. Perfectly situated in a small clearing with the fire pit and picknick table just far enough away from the cabin. The cabin is facing a rock formation and humming birds were playing all around us. We saw a deer and cooked on the camp stove and drank a whole bunch of the provided water(thanks again). There is a cute outdoor shower...my jam, that was really cold, but nice to rinse off. Mostly sat on the porch because it was super hot out but when went to bed the soft lighting and fans kept us comfortable. Almost want to keep it a secret, but this place was a diamond in the ruff. @_amy__adventures

Weekend Trip to Birdhouse Farm Camp And Cabin

We had an amazing time at the Farm! Logan helped us haul our gear to the site with a little trailer on his mower, the outdoor shower was so cute and the outhouse was right across from our site. It's about a 5-6 minute walk from the parking area, so the help hauling was needed. The A-frame was perfect and we loved lifting the front, putting up the bug net (a must) and sleeping in the open air! Logan even brought us an extra bundle of wood when I texted we were low and helped us motor out our gear in the morning. The site is SO peaceful, so many different birds. The 5 gallon jug of water, with pump, was perfect, outhouse has all you need and is pretty nice (as outhouses go lol). Super private (we were the only camper there on a Friday night). we had hiked cedar Falls/Ash Cave in Hocking Hill and then just about an hour drive to the site. My first camp trip taking my dog along and with a tieout he had roaming area of the whole site. Highly recommend, great hosts and site!

Nature Camper is an absolute treasure of a space! We stayed in the trailer and it is wonderfully appointed with hot and cold running water, a propane stove, outdoor shower, a gorgeous back deck, and a hip composting toilet in the outhouse. The property is magnificent, offering some great hikes and gorgeous scenery. The trails are clearly marked, and you can actually enter the Wayne National Forest from the property. We happend to be there for one rainy night, and the sounds were magnificent. We also hear the coyotes calling! There were no fewer than 10 bird species singing in the morning! The site is also cloe to everything in the Marietta area. You are very close to the town, the Ohio river, the Wayne National Forest. serval trailheads, and lots of attractions.

Awesome little cabin. My girlfriend and I are used to car camping so this was a huge upgrade haha but the cabin is everything that you need on a camping trip. A place to stay out of the elements, a bathroom, a couple of beds, and a little bit of land to yourself. Nothing overboard and everything you need. Worth noting; the owner was very on top of responding back. Very polite and definitely put a lot of thought into the guests with the cabin. Definitely recommend!

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!

We loved our stay at the A-Frame. It was more secluded than expected which was nice. It is about 1/4 mile from where you park. Logan will help you haul your stuff in his Gator which was super helpful when we were leaving in the rain. We had a peaceful stay and explored Lake Hope State Park, dined at Pleasant Hill Winery, and enjoyed Jennifer's delicious homemade and locally sourced breakfast burritos.

Chill on your small deck surrounded by trees.
