Nestled between the Great Lakes and the Appalachian Mountains, Ohio offers a plethora of unforgettable outdoor experiences. Beautiful Lake Erie beaches give way to caves, escarpments, and waterfalls, so if you’re looking to go camping in Ohio, you’re bound to find the perfect spot! 


Starting in the northern tip of the state, bordering Lake Erie, campers will find serene beaches and natural coves full of picturesque summertime fun. Kelley’s Island State Park, a 677-acre park on the northern tip of the island, offers campers year-round adventure. Unique natural history and geographical features make Kelley’s Island an excellent choice for camping in Ohio’s unique Great Lake region. 


East Harbor State Park, another camper’s haven along the shores of Lake Erie, offers opportunities for boating, fishing, 10 miles of hiking trails, and three boat ramps make this amazing campground the perfect spot for avid outdoorsmen and family campers alike. 


South of Lake Erie, near the border of West Virginia, campers will find Ohio’s famous Hocking Hills area. Stunning cliffs and waterfalls, deep hemlock forests, and world-famous caves make this area one of the most popular for year-round camping in Ohio. The most well known cave in the Hocking Hills is Old Man’s Cave, so named for hermit Richard Rowe who lived in the cave for 30 years after settling in the area around 1800. The Old Man’s Cave area provides trails along a breath-taking gorge, which was carved 150 feet into the sandstone by the waters of Old Man’s Creek.


Campgrounds located in the Hocking Hills and Old Man’s Cave areas provide unique opportunities for waterfall hikes, climbing, and canoeing along the Hocking River. The geologically unique Hocking Hills region offers up some of the most beautiful natural beauty in the state and the country.


From pristine Great Lake beaches to the rugged beauty of the Appalachians, let The Dyrt help you find the best camping in Ohio!

Walk in the woods; put your toes in the creek; stroll through pasture near frolicking lambs; sit by the campfire in view of chickens scratching up their bedtime snacks.  Learn how we use regenerative practices to produce meat that is healing to the consumer, the community, and the planet-- or just hide away, enjoying the clean air, fresh spring water, and lovely views.

Our Tentrr Signature Site is nestled toward the top of a hill between wild elder and ancient apple trees, where tiny wild strawberries and sweet-tart blackberries grow.  From the top of the hill you can look over much of our 60 acre farmstead, on which we work with the land and each other to produce organic fed, pasture raised chicken, eggs and pork and 100% grassfed lamb and beef. 

4WD/AWD is required to drive to the site, or park at the bottom by the barn and take a short walk up the fairly steep hill.  We're happy to assist with carrying your luggage using our ATV. Because our site can provide everything you need, you only need to bring your food, your clothes and a sleeping bag!(To prevent damage to the land, vehicle access to the site is restricted to when the ground is dry.)

Our Tentrr contains a queen bed.  Additional 6-person pop up tent is available for extra bodies.  No pets are allowed due to the working nature of our farm. 

Our farm is just 40 minutes from Pittsburgh, and a great place to stay and relax if you have business in the area.

The Space:
Rejuvenate at our Regenerative Farm just 40 minutes from Pittsburgh.

Guest Access:
This is an exclusive Tentrr Signature campsite. Tentrr partners with land owners to offer unique accommodations in beautiful outdoor spaces. Our campsites are off-the-grid which means they generally do not have access to electricity, wifi, or modern plumbing. Instead, they offer the chance to relax, unplug, and fully experience nature! 

Your Tentrr campsite includes a 10'x12' (120 square feet) safari-style canvas tent on a raised wooden platform. Inside the tent you'll find one queen bed with a memory foam mattress. The tent is big enough for the bed plus one or two extra sleeping bags on the floor. Aside from the canvas tent, campers can also use the extra 5-person pop-up dome tent that___s provided. You'll also have a 6-ft picnic table, outdoor fire pit, and 2 Tentrr Adirondack chairs.

Max Occupancy: This refers to the total number of campers allowed onsite with your reservation. 

Toilets: Every campsite is equipped with a camp toilet (we call it the Tentrr Loo). This is a simple wooden box with a toilet seat and a bucket inside. To use, line the bucket with a CleanWaste Sani-Bag supplied at the camp prior to use. Afterwards, simply tie the bag up and place it in a trash bag. CleanWaste Sani-Bags use a NASA-developed gelling/deodorizing agent that helps prevent spills and keeps everyone safe and clean.

Showers: Every Signature campsite comes with a Coleman Sun Shower. The sun shower has a reservoir that holds up to 5 gallons of water, potentially enough for multiple showers. It's constructed of heat-locking material that warms the water when it's left in the sun, even on cool days.

What you should bring:
-S'mores supplies & any food you'd like to eat
-A cooler to keep your grub from spoiling 
-Bedding and pillows
Firewood

Interaction with Guests:
Upon check out, you should leave-no-trace of your stay and be sure your campsite is returned to its natural glory! While Tentrr does not charge a cleaning fee, we do expect campsites to be left how they were found. After you check out, take everything you brought in and be sure to leave your trash at the designated location.

If a Tentrr Host submits an incident report after your stay that details evidence of trash or damage to the campsite or the host's property, Tentrr reserves the right to charge a minimum cleaning fee of $50. Just make sure to follow the Camper Manual posted at your campsite and you'll be set!

Reservation Modifications/Cancellations: Please note the terms of the cancelation policy as they are outlined in your confirmation email. Your Tentrr Host is unable to change or cancel your reservation on your behalf, and they are unable to waive any cancellation fees (if applicable). If you have any questions regarding modifications to your booking, please reach out to Tentrr Customer Support.

Other Things to Note:
No pets allowed but you can "borrow" some of ours. Barn cats, livestock guardian dogs, ducks and chickens all roam the property.

No smoking in or around the tent. If you choose to smoke, please dispose of cigarette butts in the trash .

Check in after 3pm; Check out by 11:30am. 

When the ground is dry (summer), we recommend 4WD/AWD if you want to drive to the campsite.  When the ground is soft, site is walk-up only.  

To keep the wildlife healthy, keep food out of your tent and secured in sealed containers or coolers.

Leave gates as you found them, whether open or closed.

For your own safety and enjoyment, assume that all fences are electrified; do not touch or cross them without guidance.  Do not enter the barn or any animal areas without one of us with you.  Do not taunt the animals.

Respect the neighbors; stay on our land and keep the noise down. (No parties.)

Before departing, collect all trash and secure the site according to the Welcome Guide, which contains other useful information to help you get the most out of your stay.

We look forward to hosting you!
