The closest larger towns are Logan, Lancaster, Circleville, and Chillicothe. We, Dustin and Raven, the owners of Sculptdecor, created most of what you will see in all of the spaces.

There are over a mile of private Hiking trails on the property. We are working with local naturalists to ensure that we maintain a healthy forest. We are unable to accommodate domestic animal friends/pets due to our senior dog Peanut who you may see somewhere around the property during your stay. For art enthusiasts, the Sculptdecor Shop, run by master sculptor Dustin Weatherby, is on the 58-acres closest to the Art Lodge located at the bottom of the driveway. Dustin specializes in animatronics, steel sculptures, wood carvings, mixed media sculptures, and starting in 2025, will offer live art performances and experience packages for guests. Feel free to stop by the shop and say hello, our home is on the same 58-acre property. Although you cannot see our home from the Art Lodge or Tiny Bungalows, we're often nearby to assist you if you need us. We hope you love our spaces as much as we do. Your hosts, -Raven and Dustin-

Nestled in a serene, wooded setting, this campsite offers a private and tranquil escape. With only three sites available, campers can enjoy a sense of seclusion, enhanced by clean facilities and thoughtful amenities like picnic tables, hammocks, and fire pits. Stargazers will delight in the clear night skies, perfect for viewing the Milky Way and constellations. While most reviews are glowing, one camper noted the proximity to other sites and the lack of deep woods immersion as drawbacks.

Pollinator Tiny Bungalow

Restful stay with good bird watching! Loved all the special touches, which made the space thoughtful and unique. The sauna and hot tub were the icing on the cake!

Exceptionally Great Place to Stay

Camp Shroom Hocking Hills

Loved the privacy and being tucked away in the woods but the driveway gave us enough clearance for some beautiful stargazing with no light pollution at all. This was our first time taking the dog camping who also loved the experience. Campsite was very clean and the porta John up the driveway was perfectly clean as well. Would happily camp here again every time we visit hocking hills! :)

Camp Shroom Hocking Hills

What a beautiful serene camping setting and experience. There are only three sites, and all are pretty private. We stayed in the Shroom site and it’s at the end so it’s very private. Site is flat, stone camp ring is wonderful and love the picnic table, hammock, and bench. For us, the sky was clear both nights and we had an unbelievably incredible view of stars, the Milky Way, the ISS, and other satellites. There were so many stars, it was very hard to find the few constellations we are used to seeing. Incredible! Plus, we loved both of the meditation areas, spotless PortaJohn, and great communication from them. Numerous Hocking Hills hikes are 10-20 minutes away, and we had a wonderful Sunday brunch at The Ridge Inn in Laurelville. You have to try their homemade donuts. Wow!! Definitely recommending to all of our friends and hope to find a weekend we can bring friends and use all three sites.

Camp Shroom Hocking Hills

Great spot to camp. Very quiet and private spot. We loved having a campfire and just relaxing in the campground. The bathroom was super clean and close by. The stars were amazing and we were able to see the Milky Way from our spot! We will definitely be returning!

Camp Shroom Hocking Hills

Had a nice, quiet stay. The Shroom site was a short a distance from the other 2 sites, so that was nice for privacy. Be sure to look at the property map, so you don’t miss the trails that they have running through the woods (we almost overlooked them). The trails were a nice pleasant surprise, that we quite enjoyed (I love exploring). Even though the site was very primitive, with no running water or electricity (which added to the rustic feel), the port-a-potty was very clean and well maintained. I would definitely stay there again.
