Family Camping on the River Bend

This former campground was purchased by our family in order to create a work program for disabled adults like our daughter. We are using HipCamp for private camping to fund renovations of the old church building, dorms and other facilities to hopefully leave a legacy of help and hope for special adults and their families.

This former campground was purchased by our family in order to create a work program for disabled adults like our daughter. We are using HipCamp for private camping to fund renovations of the old church building, dorms and other facilities to hopefully leave a legacy of help and hope for special adults and their families.
For now, this property is a diamond in the rough still needing a lot of TLC. Expect primitive camping and little improvements every time you return!
The property is a peaceful 27 acres at the bend of Licking River. The grounds themselves have several clear areas surrounded by trees. There are many picnic areas, a few small shelters with picnic tables and two gazebos with seating in the clearing at the back of the property. Over the (dry) river through the woods is a clearing with community fire pit and primitive seating. There is also a small play ground area, small basketball court and a few tetherball poles.
Across the street, there is a public boat ramp access and beautiful Kincaid Lake is just minutes away, with boat access, daily boat rentals, fishing and other amenities there.
Current Renovations:
September 2020, we are removing the bunkhouse ceilings and insulation, cleaning out a lot of animal debris. We are starting bathroom demo.
