Purchased in 2019, these overgrown acres are now a federally registered Farm with the crop being Trees, and have a 10 year Woodland Stewardship Management Plan with the Ohio Dept of Natural Resources. I  will be working hard over the years to bring this back to a healthy stand of mixed hardwoods, full of wildlife habitat. Learn more about this land: Enjoy approximately 10 wooded acres while being the only campers on site. Provided are a 4x8 lean-to, outhouse, fire ring, and a spool table. Hiking trails are cut throughout the woods, so feel free to explore. Just stay within the wire fence lines to avoid crossing onto neighboring private lands. This is a Federal and State managed Woodland, so please do no harm to any living tree or plant. Feel free to pick up any dead wood for use in the fire ring. (Cut Firewood also provided for free at campsite.) You do have to hike in and out between parking area and campsite. The access is on a slope, so you will get your cardio. It's about 500 feet from parking to campsite. 10 minutes from The Wilds. 10 minutes from I-70. 15 minutes from I-77 and Cambridge.Enjoy approximately 10 wooded acres while being the only campers on site.

Private woodland with hiking loop.
The walk from parking area to camping area was longer than I expected. As a result I only carried absolute necessities to the camping area. Barebones rustic tent camping.

Bill was great, easy to reach and ready to help with anything. A quiet spot surrounded by wildlife. It’s located in a gorgeous part of Ohio. The campsite has an uphill hike out, so great cardio.

Secluded camp w/ amazing amenities
My husband and I loved staying on Bill's property with our dog. The site was very clean and included a nice lean - to that we used to store our gear, an outhouse, a table, a short hiking loop and free firewood! I really appreciate the thoughtfulness that Bill put into his campsite. Bill responds quickly and made a few recommendations for nearby places in case we needed any last minute essentials. Carridge Market has yummy sandwiches that we grilled over the fire ring. The short walk wasn't a problem for us to get to our secluded campsite, but it could be considered challenging for some, it's about 1/4 of a mile to camp. We stayed over fourth of July weekend, so I think there may have been more activity than usual with fireworks and dogs barking, but it was super easy to drown out, and everything was quiet by 10:30 - 11pm. Overall, we'd definitely recommend this listing and plan to be back! The fact that this site has a ton of tree coverage, clean outhouse, a lean-to and FREE dry firewood made this experience exceptional.

Great Privacy
Nice little patch of ground to hike on. I'd suggest lightweight gear , as it's a slight hike.

Amazing campground
What a magical place to be! My partner and I spent the weekend there with our two year old labradoodle and there was more than enough space for her to explore yet still stay close! We felt like we were in our own little world and it was perfect. The hike from car to camp is definitely something to plan for. Bring a wagon or pack lite!
