The history of southeast Ohio includes underground coal mining, and above ground strip mining which caused hillside erosion and water pollution from mine drainage. Many of the old strip mining areas have been reclaimed, reforested and are now suitable for other uses such as this campground. The campground has paved parking pads, fire rings, picnic tables, and vault toilets. Water is available but it isn’t potable.There’s no fee for camping.
This is a horse camp but anyone is welcome to camp. Most of the sites are fairly short, narrow, and not level so it might be difficult to maneuver a horse trailer or a long RV into them. The sites and toilets are not wheelchair accessible.
The campground road is paved and less than a mile long so it very easy to access the campground from Route 9 but check the forest website before planning a trip. A short section of the road slipped and the campground is closed until that’s repaired. Campground

We loved the Warther museum. You do find some wonderful campgrounds.
ReplyDeleteWe are in awe of Mooney Warther's talent - simply amazing!
ReplyDeleteDo you think you'll be doing any boondocking when you get a smaller RV? We found a beautiful spot in Allegheny NF. So nice that I feel like keeping it a secret but I won't. :-) Details on the blog in a few days.
