Welcome to our Venue!

We are primarily a music and events venue available for rent 1/2 days, 24 hrs or all weekend events. We only rent when no events are happening therefore camping dates are limited.

Situated in beautiful south-eastern Ohio, we have 69 acres of hardwood forest to explore with over 5 miles of hiking trails.

We’re located close to several state parks, two Vineyard/ Wineries and a short hop to Athens/ Ohio University.

We currently have 3 tent sites within a couple hundred feet of the pavilion, which offers not only one of the best camp bathrooms you’ve ever experienced but also a 24′ X 32′ sheltered area for those unexpected downpours.

We are located 1 mile from route 33 and 4 miles from routes 50 & 32. There are two Vineyard/ Wineries within a 3 mile radius and we’re only 7 miles from Athens and Ohio University’s Convocation Center and football stadium.

We offer over 5 miles of hiking trails with beautiful second growth hardwoods and a lake view.

“... Wow, what a gem of a camping site! This venue is gorgeous and private, even with three camping spots, they're spread out so if there were other folks around, you would still have your own space. Having access to bathrooms and showers with hot water was a treat, especially with the cooler fall weather."
