10 acres altogether, about 5 acres mowed. Enough almost the size of a soccer field for kids to play in, in more than one place. Each campsite is about half an acre and we do have fire pits once you decide where you want to camp. We do not often have guests so you should have most of the property to yourself. The campsites are on the far shaded side of the property with my camper and cabin on the other five acres.

We enjoyed our stay here so much! It is about 20 minutes from hocking hills which was the reason for our trip. We were the only ones there during our stay which was really great. It a little closer to the road than i was imagining but it did not bother us one bit. It was kinda nice to be tucked back in while also still being reasonably close to things.

Tent
Nice place to camp. The shelter with the lights created a nice atmosphere. It’s near a road, so it can be a little noisy.

Great Experience Trailer Camping!
31 ft Class C · With pets
Super clean. The owner was precise and accurate with her information. All sites were easily accessible! Just beware, when she says it's the second right... You'll probably miss the first one.
