Unbeatable location

100% of guests in the past year gave this location a 5-star rating.
It's been years since the nuclear fallout. Cities are in ruins. Highways are clogged with the skeletal remains of abandoned vehicles. The winds of desolation whistle through the barren streets of empty towns. Food is scarce. You, a weary survivor, have been living as a nomad in search of a safe haven, fending off marauders and killing the hungry creatures that used to be animals but are now . . . something else. Today, you've arrived at Ruin Ridge, a deserted camp in the woods of rural Ohio.

The space
Welcome to Ruin Ridge at Marmalade Hill Retreats! This cozy, secluded, radioactive wasteland is nestled in the rolling hills of Vinton County. Rich with wildlife, our beloved twenty acres are home to deer, turkey, fox, coyotes, and bobcats, as well as many native plants and mushroom species. Located on a quiet gravel road, our acreage is off the beaten path but still within a reasonable traveling distance to several state parks and local attractions. In addition to our fun and unique camping experiences, we also have plans to complete a series of lovely hiking trails soon!

Guest access
Guests have access to the designated parking area, the camp store, and their campsite. The on-property home, yard, garage, and any outbuildings are strictly off-limits.

Other things to note
With the least residents of all of Ohio's beautiful counties, Vinton County is close to several state parks and nature preserves. Experience the great outdoors by participating in a plethora of nearby activities, including hiking, kayaking, zip lining, fishing, horseback riding, and more. Local parks include Hocking Hills State Park, Lake Hope State Park, Zaleski State Forest, the Moonville Rail Trail, Lake Alma State Park, Tar Hollow State Forest!

Enjoy 100% privacy at your secluded, post-apocalyptic campsite. (Seclusion may be less in the fall and winter months due to loss of foliage. During those seasons you may be able to glimpse our home and the neighbor's home. You may hear occasional traffic and dog activity, though we strive to keep the latter to a minimum.) A fire ring is provided, as well as a primitive toilet system. Deadwood is free to gather, and a starter bundle of seasoned and split firewood is included with your booking. Additional firewood is available at our camp store for $10 a bag load. Other camping essentials and souvenirs are also available for purchase at the camp store, including tent rentals. A loot crate containing potable water and nuclear fallout survival "necessities" is located near your campsite and can be found using the map you'll find upon arrival. Guests are expected to follow the "Leave No Trace" principles.
