    I stayed here for one night and loved how open the property is. It’s conveniently close to Hocking Hills State Park and quite scenic. I wish I had the time to hike on the ridges!

    We absolutely loved our stay here. The campground is quiet and beautiful. Our campsite backed up to a large stream and small waterfall, which was wonderful to fall asleep to the sound of. The trails through the woods are a great attribute to the campground and absolutely worth the trek up the hill. We will definitely be returning.

    This place is the absolute best! We have been camping here for 3 years with a pretty big group and it is so spacious and perfect for us. The host is so spectacular and so flexible! Totally recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice weekend getaway!

    Everything was as expected. The property was clear and clean. Check in was painless. Only 3stars on communication bc we really didn’t need anything. Definitely a great place for groups to go together.

    The property was very welcoming to pets, the only downfall was the ticks so just make sure your fur babes have their flea and tick meds. We ended up not getting to stay the whole night due to our tent not holding through the rain (it's been a lot of places). All in all it was a very beautiful place and we will be back!

    Perfect place to actually unplug and enjoy yourself in the outdoors. Really like the simplicity and the camp spots that are already there. Can't wait to come back and camp in the woods next. Thank you.

    This is our third time staying here. The check in process is extremely simple, the host is remarkably available and quick to respond, and guests truly hold up their end of the bargain on “leaving no trace” upon leaving. There are items to borrow and items to buy in a cabinet/shelter which is on the honor system. I really appreciated the host allowing us to pay for firewood at the end of the stay so we wouldn’t have to make multiple payments- it made it extremely easy. We’re already planning our return, hopefully in a couple weeks. Thanks for sharing your land!

    Sweet private camp 20 minutes from Hocking. Large sites, shower, porta potty, firewood, nice owner. Close to a road but little traffic. Sites were not as distant from each other as I believed based on reviews.

    We picked a pre-made campsite for ourselves in a little grove in the middle field. The first morning a hummingbird joined us briefly in midair in our campsite. There were a number of other birds chirping and singing in the trees and field around us. Camping in the tree-line offered much-needed shade and we enjoyed having so much space to ourselves unlike a usual campground. The host was hospitable and promptly answer All my inquiries.
