Old Stone Church Campground

2 ReviewsAdd Review

Within Wayne National Forest, Old Stone Church Campground provides pull-through sites accommodating RVs up to 45 feet, though the facility originally serves equestrian users. The US Forest Service manages this walk-in campground on an honor system with $15 fees and accepts Golden Age or Access pass discounts.

Sites include picnic tables and individual trash service, with a single pit toilet serving the area. Cell coverage reaches the campground with reliable AT&T 4G service, though data speeds may be slower than urban areas. Road traffic can increase during hunting seasons, and the Stone Church Trailhead sits less than half a mile down the gravel road for additional camping options.

Easy Access - Mostly Quiet

Easy pull-thru site for our small travel trailer. Each pull-thru is set-up for horses, but RVs are allowed (according to NFS website). Maybe because it was Halloween night, maybe due to hunting season, I dunno, but there seemed to be more traffic than expected for this road. Our only neighbors got a little... rowdy, but it was okay.

Campsite fee is $15 on the honor system. If you have a National Park's Golden Age or Access pass, they honor a 50 percent discount.

I had good 4G ATT cell service. Worked well, with no drops. Data was a bit slower than usual but still good.

The only facilities here were a single pit toilet (surprisingly clean) and a trash can at each site. There may be more services during the height of the season, at least water for horses, but nothing else I could tell.

A short distance further down the road, just after it turns to gravel, at the Old Stone Church trailhead, there are grassy places to back in smaller campers/RVs. And even further down the road, after it turns back to asphalt :D, there's a private campground with utilities, I think, but we only saw it and didn't check it out.

  • It's difficult to show but I THINK each end of the pull-thru lane is a campsite, one stall per campsite.
