Lamping Homestead Recreation Area

1 ReviewAdd Review

Within Wayne National Forest, Lamping Homestead Recreation Area operates as a tent-only campground with six walk-in sites arranged around a small pond. The US Forest Service manages this year-round facility, which requires campers to carry gear from parking areas to individual sites equipped with picnic tables and fire rings.

Each campsite lacks privacy screening between neighbors, and no potable water is available on-site beyond the pond. Vault toilets serve the camping area, while a separate group picnic area includes covered shelter and grills for larger gatherings. The North Country Trail passes directly by the campground, connecting to regional hiking routes. Woodsfield sits 13 miles away for resupply needs, and campgrounds around Graysville provide additional options in the area.

Simple, Quiet, Beautiful!

Just a few miles from the Ohio Covered Bridge Scenic Highway, this lovely tent-only campground offers a pleasant get away. There are 6 spacious “walk-in” campsites, a small pond, and vault toilets. Each site had a picnic table and campfire ring, but there is no privacy between sites. There is no water available, other than the pond, so plan accordingly. The group picnic area is great for bigger families or groups, with a campfire ring, grills and a covered picnic area.    

The area is great for hiking, with the North Country Trail going right by the campground, cycling through the rolling hills of the backroads, and canoeing on the Little Muskingum River.

The closest town is Woodsfield, OH, about 13 miles from this campground and has most of the supplies you may need.
