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

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!!

Beautiful, quiet setting.

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.

Great place to tent camp

This was our second time tent camping at Altenbrauch Farm. We had another great experience: clean, quiet, peaceful, and with just a few other (quiet) tent campers spaced out along the treeline. The solar shower worked great and is a great addition to the campground. We will definitely be back. Thanks, Caleb!

Camping in the Hocking Hills

This was such an amazing spot! The sites were just far enough away from each other to allow some privacy. The land is beautiful and we had no hiccups or problems all weekend! Upon arrival, it was easy to figure out where to go. The solar shower, bathroom, and water spout was a nice touch and not too far away from any campsites. I definitely would recommend coming here!

Camping in the Hocking Hills

This place was beautiful! I love that there was space to hike and the fire pits available. There were quite a few other campers, but there was plenty of space for everyone to spread out and I didn't hear them at all at night! Definitely coming back!
