About
Named for the skeletal ruins of an old stone church nearby, Stone Church Horse Campground is a well-equipped equestrian facility in the Athens Unit of Wayne National Forest. The campground provides direct access to 21 miles of scenic trails winding through open fields, brushland, mature forest, and reclaimed mining lands in the rolling hills of southeastern Ohio. The campground offers 10 campsites, each with a generous 45-foot by 15-foot parking space suitable for horse trailers. Every site includes a covered paddock for horses, a fire pit, grill, and tent pad. Two of the sites are fully accessible for people with disabilities. Water is available on-site for animals and stock, but campers must bring their own potable drinking water. Vault toilets serve the campground. The facility operates seasonally from early April through early January, with horseback riding trails closing during winter and early spring while remaining open year-round for hiking.
