About
Blue Rock Boondock is situated on a gravel lane just across the Muskingum River from Ohio SR 60. The camping spot is adjacent to our pole barn lean-to, across the lane from our riverfront cottage. Enjoy a fire and use the lean-to for shelter and relaxation! We are in a rural area shared by both full and part-time residents who, like us, appreciate the quiet setting.
Suggested Local Attractions: We are located along the historic Muskingum River Parkway featuring manually operated locks on the river. The Muskingum River Parkway and its 160-year-old navigation system were designated a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers in July 2001. The Muskingum River's 10 hand-operated locks are now recognized as one of America's great engineering accomplishments.

Blue Rock State Park and Forest is just a few miles up the river. The state park encompasses 322 acres that are surrounded by the 4,573 acres of Blue Rock State Forest.

HOST
Cathy and I enjoy retirement and maintain an active schedule to keep us healthy and young, or so it seems. We set our own schedules now, so often morning coffee lasts for hours. Family visits, travel and attending events are priorities, as well as reading, relaxing and enjoying downtime. We love meeting people, being in nature, boating, enjoying a campfire and motorcycle rides. I get my share of golf and enjoy motorcycling to feed my riding passion. There are plenty of scenic roads to carve up the curves right here in beautiful southeastern Ohio.
Home Town:
Our home is just outside of Columbus, Ohio. Cathy and I grew up in southeastern Ohio so we have a getaway there that keeps us busy and brings us closer to nature and fabulous motorcycling roads.
Favorite Boondocking Locations:
On the road while traveling we have done quite a few Cracker Barrel overnights but National Forests and National Shores are favorites. Naturally, any Harvest Host or Boondockers Welcome site is on our radar as we travel!
Skills or Expertise to Share:
Helping folks just takes a willingness to do so along with sharing a positive attitude.
Motorcycling has been a lifelong passion. Always willing to "talk bikes" or offer advice on routes and riding styles. The adventure is in the trip as much as the destination!

Parking & Arrival
You will turn in off a county road just south of the Gaysport Bridge, recently re-opened after a lengthy reconstruction retaining the original stone pier supports. Heading down the gravel lane, find our pole barn on the RIGHT, across the lane from our riverfront cottage. Take the SECOND turn in allowing you to swing around the grassy oval, and back into the boondock spot adjacent to the barn lean-to. Turning into the first one would be very tight and is guarded by a utility pole.
Blue Rock Boondock is situated about half way down a dead end gravel lane. The gravel road surface is dusty and shared by other full and part-time residents, so please keep speed under 15 MPH.
Tow Vehicle Parking Details:
There is ample space to park your tow vehicle in front of the pole barn lean to or in the gravel turn around area. Please do not block the overhead doors.
