Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.

The Werry's Swamp Resort is set in the woods on the Hocking River. The peaceful surroundings are found on a secluded township road half mile from the main highway. Reservations at the Werry's Swamp Resort include the entire camping area and are not shared with other guests. If you plan to RV camp, van camp, pull behind, etc., the picnic shelter house location will work best for you. If you plan to tent camp, the riverside is also an option for you. To access the riverside, there is a short walk through the woods. There are no hook-ups and the camping on the river side is primitive. The site includes a picnic shelter with picnic tables, a cooking fire ring and a bonfire ring. There is also a swing set for children.Reservations at the Werry's Swamp Resort include the entire camping area and are not shared with other guests. The camping area is divided into two sections. The first section is over 1 acre with the picnic shelter, which is located between the road and along the river inlet that ranges from little to no water and up to 2 feet. The shelter includes 2 picnic tables, a swing set, and is near the cooking fire pit and the bonfire pit. A unique feature is the large number of lotus plants that have cropped up and fill the inlet with beautiful pink and white blooms from late June to early August. The space closest to the shelter is fairly open, with lightly wooded sections further away. This section is ideal for truck and campers combos and RVs. Feel free to choose your spot. The section along the river is approximately 2 acres and is accessible through a short trail. It is lightly wooded and rambles along between the inlet and the Hocking River. There is a suggested tent spot, but feel free to choose your own adventure. Vehicles can be parked at the shelter.
