The Eco Camp Introduce
For those of us in Ohio who long for a true escape into nature, where the sounds of the city fade away and the stars shine brighter, The Eco Camp in New Marshfield offers a refreshing and unique experience. This isn't your average campground; it's a place designed to help you unplug, recharge, and reconnect with the natural world, all while enjoying a surprising level of comfort.

The Eco Camp is wonderfully situated at 11520 Grass Run Rd, New Marshfield, OH 45766, USA. This strategic location places it perfectly between two of Ohio's most beloved destinations: Athens and the magnificent Hocking Hills region.

The Eco Camp Reviews
Alex is a great host and works hard to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. A few small things around camp went wrong, but Alex was a text away and responded quickly to fix any of our problems. We had forgotten a pan and knife for cooking, and Alex lent them to us. Make sure to give pets to Archer, his pet beagle! The property is nestled in between Athens and Hocking Hills, so you have quick access to the parks and shops for whatever you may need. While there was no cell service in the parking area, once we got to the campsite, we had great service. I recommend downloading the local area map for offline use on Google Maps.
May 19, 2025 · Will MyersThe scenery was my main interest and it exceeded my expectations. My family and I loved everything about it !!

Apr 27, 2025 · arleth dimasIf I could give more stars I would. I stayed with a group of 15 at the eco camp. The property itself is gorgeous, and you could spend the day exploring it. Location wise it was a short drive to several cool hikes, we did one at Lake Hope.Now to our stay, each yurt had a heater, and a heated blanket so we stayed nice and toasty when it was cold outside! The main hangout space around the campfire was great, and we utilized the picnic tables by the airstream. Alex has thought of everything. He hand delivered us warm muffins and croissants in the morning, wood for the fire, and was just an overall delight. There is an outdoor shower to use, and even a hot tub.Our group had nothing but rave reviews for our stay. It was so fun, and seamless. Alex went above and beyond for us during our stay. And we cannot wait for our next stay!
Oct 28, 2024 · Gretchen NyeAbsolutely incredible stay at The Eco Camp! Perfect in between for tent and cabin camping with a bed, mini fridge and option for AC in the yurt. The host Alex is extremely accommodating and made the experience that much better. About 40 minutes to most of the hikes. Highly recommend to anyone who is visiting the Hocking Hills area!
