Located only 8 miles from Hocking Hills State Park, Altenbrauch Farm features 62 acres of open fields, small streams and wooded hills intersected by a lonely country road. Aside from our house, there are no neighbors in sight. Easily pitch your tent in an open field or trek through the hills and hollows to find your perfect campsite. As part of Ohio's famous Hocking Hills Region, Vinton County is home to the second largest state forest, in addition to multiple state parks and wildlife areas. You’ll encounter abandoned historical sites and relics dating back to the early 1800s, hidden away among the wooded hills of Ohio’s least populated county. If you're a lover of outdoor recreation, this is the place to be. Within about a half-hour drive, there are many opportunities for hiking, biking, horseback riding, kayaking, hunting and fishing, and birding. Nearby parks and forests include Hocking Hills State Park, Hocking Hills State Forest, Lake Hope State Park, Zaleski State Forest, the Moonville Rail Trail, Lake Alma State Park, Tar Hollow State Forest, and more! Set up camp wherever you like! There are 12 acres of open field space, surrounded by 50 acres of wooded hills and hollows with hiking trails and level spots to pitch tents. Vehicles can be driven to the field sites; we are still working on a road to access the hill sites by vehicle. The fields have about a dozen "permanent" sites with stone or metal fire rings and log seating. Portable fire rings are also available that can be moved anywhere. Dead wood for campfires is free to gather, or split firewood is available to purchase for $5/bundle. A toilet and solar shower are located at the center of the property. An outdoor water spigot is also available. Guests are expected to follow the "Leave No Trace" principles. Any trash packed onto the property must be bagged and taken with you.Located only 8 miles from Hocking Hills State Park, Altenbrauch Farm's 62-acre property features a mix of open fields, small streams, wooded hills and a lonely country road.

Camping in the Hocking Hills

This is our second time visiting this site. It is lovely, very quiet and relatively close to Hocking Hills State Park. We appreciated the helpful packet of information on local points of interest provided at the check-in kiosk. There was plenty of firewood available for purchase. The camp store has useful items in the event you forget something. The fireflies at dusk were awesome to watch.

Camping in the Hocking Hills

SO AMAZING OMG

Super super fun, it was me and about 15 other friends and we all went for 1 night. The land was clean when we got there and had lots of trees and spaces for hammocks and 4+ tents. We were all extremely comfortable with spacing including our parked vehicles! The surrounding area felt very safe and we even got a ride from a kind stranger when carrying firewood back to the plot. The only thing to consider (which wasn’t a problem for us at all) was the fact that there is no service and our phones did not work. Other than that this was a 10/10 trip and an amazing memory made for our summer before college. Thank you!

Camping in the Hocking Hills

Best place I've been!!

The property is absolutely beautiful and well maintained. The check in was very nice and so organized. I always get nervous about people's self check ins but this one was simply and straight forward. Highly recommend for a good weekend trip to any of the local hiking spots within 20 minutes. Definitely will be coming back!!!

Was greeted on arrival by an extremely friendly dog. Simple check-in. Very quiet. Good stars at night. Didn't feel crowded even when another half dozen campers arrived.

Camp site near field

Loved the camp site. We had fun exploring the creek behind our site. Only down fall was all the dirt kicked up off the road when ATVs and trucks went down it too fast.
