This private campground sits on forested land near a creek in southeastern Ohio, providing both drive-in and walk-in tent sites. Baileys Trail Tent Camping includes essential amenities like drinking water, restrooms with showers, and picnic tables, plus allows campfires with firewood available for purchase. The property maintains a no-pets policy and offers reservation options for planning ahead.
Long-term guests have noted the tree coverage and sense of security, with one camper describing the "far out" feel despite being close to town. The bathroom and shower facilities receive positive mentions from visitors. Campers seeking additional options in the region can explore campgrounds near Millfield or check out Low Ridge Creek about three miles northwest. The combination of wooded setting and basic amenities makes this spot suitable for tent campers wanting a simple base camp.
