About this property

Camping in Hocking Hills on Altenbrauch farm

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. Easily pitch your tent in an open field or trek through the hills and hollows to find the perfect primitive campsite. Campers and RVs are also welcome, although no utility hookups are available at this time.

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.

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.

Love love love this place
We loved it here! Nestled in the hills, this is a place you can really go to escape the city. The trails were really cool to walk, very steep though! Our area was able to have 4 camp sites but they were all spaced so far apart so we still felt nice n private in a way. The stars were stunning and so many if them due to no light pollution. Plenty of wildlife too! 10/10 would come back again

Awesome stay!
Everything was exactly as described with the listing. It's absolutely beautiful. If you decide to go with the sites that are already set up, they are very spacious and well kept. It was our first primitive camping experience and we all thoroughly enjoyed it!

It really was a great time. So peaceful and quiet. They give you a map and let you pick a spot
I can’t wait to camp there again. It was just one of the best locations I have camped at. The stars and crickets were so relaxing. If you like to camp visit this site. They give you a map and also tell you about other places to see while you are enjoying your stay. Thanks so much. I will be back

Too noisy! Barely slept!
First I want to say this place has the potential to be really lovely. Unfortunately we realized that generators must be allowed 24 hours a day, because there were 3 running almost the entire time we were there, day and night. The group also had flood lights illuminating an entire field for campers. I didn't feel comfortable knocking in the owners door after hours, and I had zero cell reception, so we just had to deal with rude disrespectful campers. We didn't stay our second night because we were tired of listening to generators running constantly! Also, they advertise there were solar showers, but they are NOT finished, so no showers available and you have to go behind the owners house for water.
