Sand Hollow AEP is one of many free camping areas in the America Electric Power ReCreation area. Outside McConnellsville, Oh it is worth the drive.

My favorite thing about this area is the covered bride, weird I know, but I like seeing the old covered bridges.

It is a looonng area with several group sites, pit toilets and small ponds.

Knowledge is power:
