Established in 1949, Sunnyvale Farm spans 160 acres of scenic trees and grain fields in the foothills of Southeast Ohio, nestled along the tranquil Hocking River. With nearly 120 acres of forested land featuring diverse elevation changes, our campground offers a serene retreat to unwind or a perfect base for exploring nature.
Enjoy proximity to adventure: just 3 minutes from Bailey mountain bike trails and the Hockhocking Adena Bikeway, 30 minutes from the stunning Hocking Hills, or 15 minutes from Strouds Run State Park. For those eager to explore the farm itself, hike through varied terrain with rewarding uphill climbs or take a leisurely stroll to discover our charming little grotto.
If you prefer a touch of city life, the vibrant town of Athens is just minutes away, and you can reach Ohio University’s campus in under 10 minutes, all on paved roads. Please note that our campsites are located close to the road, so you may experience some road noise during your stay.

State park 49mi from Ripley · 25 sites
Leftovers of an abandoned mine give Lake Hope State Park its rustic charm, where a nearly 3,000-acre lake provides ample opportunity for outdoor fun in the sun. Seven hiking paths and eight biking trails mean you'll have multiple chances to discover the steep gorges that characterize this densely forested area. Hunt in the adjacent Zaleski State Forest or catch some crappie or bluegill in the expansive lake for some fresher than fresh dinner. If you're not in the mood for cooking your catch or devouring another can of baked beans, consider moseying over to Lake Hope Lodge, which will treat your palate to hickory smoked barbecue and smoked meats and sides by the pound. Cushy beaches, interpretive center exhibits, and a variety of ball courts will burn those calories off in no time.

Great site- all the basic needs met. Electric and water hookup. Close to campus/ Athens. Was able to pull up next to a cement slab, which was great since it rained all weekend. Road was close but couldn’t hear traffic inside our camper. Well maintained spot. Definitely plan to come back a few times a year while kid is at OU!!

John and Julie’s property was perfect for our group camping trip. It’s everything other reviewers have mentione; quiet, private, and the amenities offered makes it easy to feel comfortable wherever you fall on the rustic scale. They were also so kind and quick to reply with any questions. Everyone agreed we found the right spot for our annual family camping trip!

Salt creek is an excellent basecamp when visiting Athens, OU, Bailey’s, etc. Ed offers three RV or tent sites that each have a 30A RV shore power connection and water. The water pressure is excellent, but the well water in use is very hard and smells slightly metallic. Double filtering the water wasn’t sufficient to help with the taste, but otherwise it was awesome taking long showers after a day of MTB riding. The sites are adjacent to state route 13, so traffic noise during the day is a thing, but it’s not obnoxious. At night it’s quiet. He is close enough to Athens for easy reach by DoorDash. T-Mobile cellular service was excellent.

A great campsite very close to Bailey’s mountain bike trail, which was our objective. The concrete area was perfect for campfires and socializing and the fire pit was perfect. Ed was super responsive, I’ll be camping here again

Ed was welcoming and kind and met us on arrival. The location was close to the Bailey's trail system, Stroud's Run State Park, and Hocking Hills. We tried and enjoyed the "Eclipse Company Store" for food and beer. We were permitted to spread out a bit as we were the only reservation our weekend, which was great. Some tips for future travelers: If you need wifi password or toilet, make sure to ask when you get there or in advance. The map looks like site #3 is set back off the road further than the other two sites, but they are all equally close to the road. There is shade at site #3 in the morning, and heavy direct sun in the evening, but we had a pop up tent with a sidewall that offered plenty of shade for us. Overall, Salt Creek is a great option for RV campers. His pull through lot, electricity, and water are rare among HipCamp locations. The location is not secluded/remote, as described in the listing, but it is convenient to the area's many tourist attractions in an area that is often sold out of campsites. Thank you for a great weekend!

It became a tradition to come too John and Julie at their site with friends! We love the commodity of the gazebo, the shade, the showers and the kitchen with all the convenience. It is always beautifully maintained and we always have such a great time. We rented the 3 sites and come with a group of friend. We had a great time and plan to come back before the winter!
