The Viking longhall has been 9 years in the making by a group of semi serious Viking enthusiasts: the result is a 60 foot long building that has 18, 8,x4' sleeping berths. Set apart from the main open area it also boasts 2 meeting rooms and a kitchen. The campsite is a very peaceful place. Some go as far as to say a healing place! We are proud of what we have achieved and now want people to come out and enjoy it also. The field is close enough to the Appalachian highway (state route 32) for convenience, but far enough not to be bothered by it. The area is steeped in Native American culture. In fact, the world famous Serpent Mound is but 8 miles away, with many other Adena culture sites within easy driving distance. It's also in the heart of the Amish community. The area is known for its natural beauty with many hiking trails and canoeing opportunities. The area is awash in beauty and history from the ancient mound culture to the amish culture. The area has many hiking trails some of which are part of the buckeye trail and range in length from an easy 1 mile loop to rugged hikes of many miles. Come out and share the land that we have loved for the last 30 years PLEASE [xxxxxxxx] WILL NO LONGER BE SUPPLYING BEDDING OR TOWELS.

We always have an incredible time at the Longhall! David is an exceptional host, and our Autumn trips here have become one of our favorite yearly traditions. It’s such a special place to gather with family and friends and I can’t recommend it enough!

Camped at The Yurt at Viking Longhall, Sept 2026.
It was okay
Loved the yurt. The host was having some issues with the shower (also there was mold and like slime - okay it was gross. And the outhouse was so far from the yurt that as someone with ibs, well that sucked the middle of the night middle of the storm trek to more than the length of a football field was rough. There were 2 grills, the charcoal was provided but wet. The gas grill made a huge fireball when lit. He did warn us there were issues with it, but not that. Hubby lost some arm hair and had a slightly burnt face. The weather really messed us up on day 2, we left to get ice, charcoal and candles - because no electricity - in the morning and came back, started a fire, got the charcoal grill going, then the thunderstorm hit. A light drizzle was on the forecast, no fault at all to the host! But we were stuck in the yurt for at least half a day. We brought food for a fire or grill. So we didn’t plan ahead enough. On us, I guess. But we didn’t eat that afternoon/evening Beautiful light fixtures that didn’t work because the clear roof overheated the place so they put a tarp on? No outdoor lighting worked either. Like in the whole place. You could see the lights on the paths, but they never lit up. Honestly, the place was beautiful. If it was kept up better, I’d love to become a regular. And if they had more bathrooms and more/better showers, then i would love to take my whole family. But as is, it was alright, but we wont be going back.
