Ridge Top Site 1

We had a wonderful time at Ross's campsite! The ridge top spot was beautiful and secluded, and Ross was an amazing host. We enjoyed mountain biking and Hocking Hills while there. We can't wait to visit again!

Ridge top camping at Bailey's Base

Bailey's Base Camp was an absolute AWESOME experience for intermediate hikers and campers. They offer ridge top campsites that we stayed in late July of 2024 and it was stunning! There is a massive uphill battle to get to the site but they offer an awesome shuttle service to get your gear to the top for you, however shower houses and toilets are located at the bottom of the mountain and an awful steep hike up and down from your site. Our host was Keith who had no issues what so ever shuttling us to the top if he was around when we needed it! Keith was absolutely fantastic our entire stay, and was very accommodating. I will say that when we were there the campsite appeared to have a frustrated beehive in the area, and it was basically swarming with bees, Keith went out of his way to treat the site for insects and bees while we were gone hiking for the day! I will say that this site is VERY primitive and I recommend experienced hikers and campers for it, but if you're up for a real stay in nature this is it!!! Bees and all we loved it.

Awesome Time

We had a great time as a family of four (kids ages 3 and 5) in our ridge top campsite. Awesome wood and well maintained site right next to the Bailey Trail System.

The Best Choice for Bailey's Bikers

First, it's great to have a host like Ross who is personally invested in a great experience for people at Bailey's Basecamp. The cabin looks great and I plan to rent that next time. This time, I stayed up top at one of the primitive campsites. Super quiet up there. Ross provides firewood available for purchase and he gladly transports your gear up and down the hill. And true to Ross' direction, you can head due west on the ridgeline and within a couple hundred yards connect to the Tipple Top Trail of Bailey's trail system. If you want to stay as close as possible to the Bailey's system, this is the best choice.
