A quiet hammock clearing among tall forest trees

43+ wooded acres · McArthur, Ohio

Make room for a quieter weekend.

Private campsites, honest woods, and enough distance from the everyday to let your nervous system catch up.

“The point is not to do more out here. It is to notice what happens when you do less.”

A small reset, on purpose

The forest is the amenity.

Trothwood Forest started with a simple belief: stress should not become the background noise of a life. After years in mental-health work, Laura and I wanted to share the kind of place that helped us feel like ourselves again—unhurried, outdoors, and close enough to town to stay easy.

Sites are few, spread out, and kept close to the land. Come for a night, a long weekend, a family adventure, or a small retreat that needs a little more sky.

The Trothwood difference

A little more privacy. A lot more exhale.

Space between sites

A small number of campsites means your weekend does not have to feel like a parking lot.

Close to the good stuff

Ash Cave, Old Man’s Cave, Lake Rupert, local wineries, and McArthur supplies are all within reach.

Room for your kind of stay

Solo, family, dog-friendly, motorcycle-ready, or a small group retreat—the woods can hold it.

Land with a light touch

Leave-no-trace is not a slogan here. It is how we keep the place worth coming back to.

Bring your people

The kind of place you remember by how you felt.
