Located 1.5 miles from the Baileys Trail System (Chauncey Trailhead) and even closer to Wayne National Forest. Site is secluded in summertime yet close to state SR 13. It is situated off the old Sunday Creek Coal Mine railroad bed and Sunday Creek. Tent camping and portable/pull-behind units only. Amenities include an 8' x 8' deck pad and a fire ring with plenty of wood available. The campground has municipal water, a gas generator, a composting toilet, as well as a gas camping stove. Cell service (Verizon) is excellent. Gate is locked and night and there are security cameras. Owner lives on the property. There are two group campsites of three tent pads each. Price listed is for a tent pad, fire ring and amenities. 2 guests per tent pad, 1 car per guest. Campers are free to set up camp (or hammock) anywhere in the designated 2-acre space.
If coming from the Millfield end of McDougal Rd., the lane back to the campsite is immediately after the Sunday Creek bridge. There will be a red farm gate and sign.
I had the opportunity to stay at Baileys Basecamp last year and couldn’t have had a better experience. The cabin was great and I really enjoyed spending time around the fire pit. Thank you Ross for making it a great experience.
Had a wonderful time at the basecamp. Ross is a fantastic host who will go out of his way for the comfort of his guests. The multiple camp sites, and cabin allow for tons of sleeping options whether you’re looking to be one with nature or stay warm and dry. 100% plan on returning! (Loved the friendly chickens and the turkey)
Awesome campground surrounded by Wayne National Forest. Got shuttled to the upper campsite on a side by side which made it easy. Was able to walk out into Wayne from the campsite to small game hunt with my kids which was super convenient. Extremely friendly staff/owners, always eager to lend a hand.
This place is perfect for accessing the trails at Bailey's - it's a short gravel ride from the basecamp to get on the trails. The cabin was spotless and stocked with pretty much everything you need for a few days in the woods. There's no cook top or oven in the cabin - but there is a grill out back, a cooking grate on the fire pit and a microwave, toaster oven and electric skillet - so plan meals accordingly. Beds in the loft were comfy. The next door neighbors that manage the place (Keith and Deanna) are super friendly, as are their chickens - I will definitely be back!
I had the pleasure of camping here twice during my son’s mountain bike season. The upper sites were primitive but so serene! The lower site was amazing for our team dinner before the race. The Basecamp is constantly being updated and expanding to meet the high demand and the needs of the customers. If you are into getting out and taking in the natural beauty of southern Ohio, Baileys Basecamp is the place to pitch your tent and explore!
