Site 7 - WALKAbOUT Creek Primitive

What a great camp! Carl is very personable, the grounds are beautiful, it’s very secluded (ie; off the beaten path). The camp has a common area to hang out and cook or bonfire or play games. There is also a full ~on grid~ bathroom with a shower and that’s attached to a small game room with a tv and air hockey (if you absolutely feel the need to stay connected). A really peaceful getaway but only about an hour drive to Marietta to the SW, Granville to the NE & Hocking Hills to the south. My sister and I tent/car camped here for 4 nights and 5 days and really hated to leave. 😊

Bear Cabin

Owner was very kind and inviting when we arrived on site. He also gave us clear directions to get there when the GPS would not. There was plenty of space between campsites and the other campers seemed very respectful. I overall enjoyed my stay

Wolf Cabin

Carl was an amazing host. The cabin was a perfect size for me and my girlfriend with room to host more. It is clear that much effort has gone into making this site welcoming to all. The cabin and bathroom were very clean and anything needed was provided. Additionally Carl was very flexible with our arrival time and even helped us get moved in late at night.

Nice clean place. Carl received me very well and was well informed. The WIFI is very good. P.S. Don't always rely on Google Map, arrive via route 60 south of Duncan Falls, it will be easier, ask Carl.
