Our sites offer serenity and seclusion where you can feel free to be human and one with nature. On our property you will see open meadows where our horses graze amongst the wildflowers, woods abundant with wildlife, miles of hiking trails that are marked and maintained for your exploration. Stunning sunsets, peaceful sunrises, and unforgettable nights of stargazing. There's something special about sitting around the campfire while horses graze nearby, watching them wonder through the meadow, and starting your morning with their peaceful presence. it's a simple, authentic connection to farm life that you wont find an an ordinary campground.
We also have an orchard, backyard vineyard and thriving garden areas that help us all live closer to the land.
We offer two unique areas to set-up camp. The Cornerstone camp site is a wooded grove with a beautiful tree canopy offering shade and a glorious sense of well-being while living in the woods.
The Hill Top site offers a panoramic view of our amazing natural landscapes from quiet dells to swelling hills. An awe-inspiring site in the autumn months taking in the colors as far as the eye can see.

You'll notice that our property is also home to horses. They live and graze freely on the land, so from time to time, they may wander near your campsite. The horses are gentle and friendly, and many guest enjoy their quiet company during their stay. We do ask that you admire them respectfully. Please don't feed them, and give them space if they get curious and come close. They're part of the land's charm, and we're happy to share their presence with you.

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, and native vegetation. 2024 saw the start of our EQIP contract which includes killing the non-native invasives, like Tree of Heaven, Autumn Olive, Honeysuckle, and more. 2025 was planting, staking, and tubing of 800 tree seedlings, including Black Walnut, Red Oak, Scarlet Oak, Sugar Maple, Persimmon, and Tulip Poplar. 2026 we will be planting another 600 native trees and shrubs consisting of 55 species!

Learn more about this land:
Enjoy approximately 10 wooded acres with hiking trails cut throughout.
A common area has a Fire Ring, Outhouse, Water Station, Picnic Tables and Seats, where you can socialize with fellow campers, whether they be family, old friends, or new acquaintances.
Or you can retreat a short distance away to your own campsite, for some alone time. The two campsites are adjacent to each other, but divided by walls of brush and newly planted shrubs. You may hear other campers, but your space is well defined. It is approximately 100 ft from the center of one campsite to the next, and a similar distance from the center of each campsite to the common area.
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. The main pond seen from the parking area is off limits for liability reasons. I am working on a smaller ravine pond in the woods, which I will stock with fish for feeding.
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. Do not bring your own firewood.) We have a self serve store, that will have charcoal, farm fresh eggs, and other seasonal and camping items. Bring some cash.

Located roughly 20 miles from Beaver Creek State Park, DLR Mustang Ranch is a 17-acre peaceful sanctuary for many wild and previously wild mustangs. The Ranch offers veteran and first responder mustang programs year-round. Please let us know if you are a veteran or first responder for a special rate.
Accommodations include a small one-room cabin nestled on a little pond a stone's throw from the main house and veteran program area. The cabin has electricity, a microwave, small refrigerator, tv, futon, heating and cooling; however, it does not have plumbing. Nearby is an outhouse with electricity and a water pump fed from well water. There is a firepit for cooking and picnic tables available. There is also a flat space for tent camping right beside the cabin area. The outhouse and firepit are shared between the cabin and tent campers. If you prefer a more secluded experience, please book both sites. There is space for an RV in the driveway next to the woods with electric hookup and access to the outhouse, water pump, and firepit.
While this is a working ranch with farm animals, our aim is to create a peaceful relaxing environment in order to unwind and enjoy the creation around us. Going in the pastures with horses while unaccompanied by the owners is prohibited; however, it can be arranged for you to meet and interact with the mustangs if interested. There are other farm animals including a sheep, a goat, pigs, donkeys, peacocks, turkeys, chickens, ducks and barn cats on the premises. If you want a quaint country escape complete with farm sounds, this is the spot for you!

Or bring a friend and rent one site in conjunction with some of our other sites. you can even split up your camping trip with a night in our backcountry camp site. Located in the rolling Appalachian hills of Southeast Ohio. This farm has been in our family since 1869 when our relatives settled here from Germany. Originally farmed for cattle and sheep with many orchards over the years our property is now mostly mature forest. Southeast Ohio, including our property is known for its hilly topography and microclimates. Hills range from 400 to 1,100 feet.

Site 3 (The Quiet Transition): Offering a bit more privacy while still draped in deep, refreshing shade, Site 3 is ideal for campers who want a peaceful retreat just a short walk away from the action.
Site 4 (The Ultimate Hideaway): As our most secluded site, Site 4 is a private haven for those looking to truly unplug. Unlike the heavy canopy of the other sites, Site 4 opens up to beautiful, sunny areas—perfect for basking in the morning sun or stargazing at night.
Adventure Right at Your Tent Flap
No matter which site you choose, you are steps away from the best outdoor recreation the region has to offer:
Hit the Water: Bring your kayak, canoe, or inner tube! Dip your toes in right from our on-site small launch, or take a quick 0.3-mile stroll down the bank to the larger public launch for an effortless day on the river.
Hit the Trail: Prefer solid ground? You are just 0.5 miles from the historic Towpath Trail trailhead. Lace up your hiking boots or hop on your bike to explore miles of scenic, winding pathways.
Ready to pitch your tent? Book your slice of riverside paradise today, pack the sunscreen (or the shade canopy!), and get ready to fall asleep to the gentle sounds of the Tuscarawas River. Island is a short walk from ramp across river. Both adults and kids love exploring around it!

We loved camping here! The camping spot was so nice with the wooden base for our tent and the picnic table. They put flowers on the picnic table which was very cute. Also everything you need for a fire and cooking over the fire. The outhouse was the best outhouse we’ve seen hipcamping. It was so clean and had extra supplies. The land is also beautiful for walking and hiking. The hike was hard but worth it through the forest. It was all maintained very well. We saw the horses when it started to get dark and they did come to our campsite while we were sleeping which was very cool. They are a very sweet couple who made sure you have everything you could need during your stay and we will definitely be coming back! We had a great time here.

I love solo camping/traveling with my dogs whenever I can. I have a high pressure job and am always looking for peace whenever I can get away. That is exactly what I found at this beautiful property. You feel like you are in your own little nature preserve away from all the stress of the normal day to day.
It was the perfect escape.

I was looking for a relaxing birthday getaway and am so glad I found the Wild Pines! The pups and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Pine Cove. The site and the rest of the property was beautiful, and you can tell how much thought and pride Tom & Melissa have poured into this place. The site had everything we needed and more…we are used to primitive/tent camping, so the amenities here were so nice to have!
We enjoyed exploring the property, relaxing by the fire, and just being immersed in Nature. It was so quiet and lovely, and exactly what we needed. We even got to experience a cozy evening in the tent listening to a summer thunderstorm.
Thanks so much, we will definitely be back!

When we booked this place, we were very excited because we read all the glowing reviews. I can say that it still exceeded our expectations in every way!!!!! The host could not have been more gracious, kind, and welcoming to us. She is an absolute gem.
The cabin was lovely, and I kept forgetting that we didn't have a sink in there because it has every other amenity you could ask for! Air con, a heater, electricity, comfy beds, even wifi for goodness sake! The horses and other farm animals were absolutely lovely, so cute and silly.
I recommend that you bring binoculars to see the beautiful wildlife at the pond, pillows, bug spray and maybe a citronella candle, and you will have the absolute best time EVER!

We absolutely loved our stay here! They truly went above and beyond all of our expectations! The property is meticulously kept, the horses are so gorgeous, everything couldnt be more perfect here! With just a quick cell phone call they even rescued us with their side-by-side at 5:30am when the thunderstorm became too much to bear! Couldn't recommend this camp enough and they have earned us as campers for life!
