Best in Ohio: Finalist

Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2024.

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

Camping in nature

This will depend on how busy the farm is but I was able to camp away from others in nature. This is not something you can experience in state campground.

My first hip camp experience

I absolutely loved staying on Altenbrauch Farm. They had a little camp store, a porta-john and solar shower. There was only one other group of campers while I was there and they seemed very respectful. It was beautiful, quiet and peaceful. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you Caleb!

Awesome Place to Stay!

I love camping here! I actually camped 2 weekends in a row because this is such an awesome location. There is tons of land to chose from as far as throwing up your tent goes and all of them are great. Whether you want to camp under trees, IN the woods, or out in the open for a larger space. The bathroom facilities are always clean and the camp store is stocked with little necessities and firework.

Camping in the Hocking Hills

Worth it.

We stayed here two nights and it was great! Check in process was easy. Loved that we were able to pick our own spot. There are a few amenities in case you forget anything. We weren’t there much throughout the day but felt safe leaving our stuff. We will definitely be staying here again and would recommend to others!
