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

Absolutely amazing, checking in we saw that we weren't the only ones there but never saw another person once. Very quiet, and obviously full of wildlife (saw a few deer and heard some coyotes and owls) make sure to bring hiking shoes if you plan on going into the woods at all it's a bit of a hike especially if you don't have a 4 weel/ off road vehicle. Portable bathroom was very clean we didn't use the shower but seemed nice. Plenty of fire wood for collection if you don't want to buy it or bring it. Very secluded so make sure you have everything if you don't want to make a 30 min. drive to any grocery stores. Definitely plan on coming back !

This campground was great! The small camp store is so cute and there was a table and cooking grates available to borrow. Easy no contact sign-in and firewood available for sale too. Thanks for a great experience!

Great camping location. Lots of options for settling down in either an open territory or wooded area. Owner is great with responses and very accommodating. Process of checking in and out is very convenient. Very quiet and relaxing.

Camping in the Hocking Hills

Great place!! Beautiful, secluded. Camped along the creek, which was dry but fun to walk along looking for rocks leaves etc. Night sky was beautiful!! Primitive sites up into the woods but need to hike up or have an appropriate vehicle for accessing. Loved it and would recommend. We despise campgrounds but this was perfect for us. Loved it!! There was stuff like tables, shovels etc to borrow which was helpful. Firewood to purchase- great!! A small shower and a toilet. Love, love, love!!

Camping in the Hocking Hills

We enjoyed our stay here. We opted for a spot in the second field where we could nestle our trailer with our RTT in the trees. Although it’s not super secluded as all sites are visible to the road, it’s such a quiet road, it wasn’t a bother at all. We only saw one car during our stay. Easy check in, with toilet and water available. Beautiful setting, close enough to things to do. Note that depending on your provider there is no cell service here. We would stay again.

My family loved our stay at Altenbrauch Farm. The property was clean and well taken care of. At night it was nice and quiet. We will definitely be back.
