With both open field and woods camping, there are many options. Wisteria is situated on 620 private and rural acres in beautiful southeastern Ohio.  We are in the rolling foothills of the Allegheny mountain plateau region of the Appalachian mountain chain. Scattered throughout this enchanted land are forests and fields, winding trails and streams, rocky outcroppings, caves, and lush plant and animal life.   Facilities & Services ATM.  ATM is available during Wisteria Market and Office hours.  Accepts major credit and debit cards.  Limited withdrawals per transaction.

Portable solar showers are permited.
