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. https://www.stateparks.com/muskingum_river_parkway_in_ohio.html Blue Rock State Park and Forest is just a few miles up the river.

You will turn in off a county road just south of the Gaysport Bridge, which has re-opened after a lengthy reconstruction retaining the original stone pier supports. As you head 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 road surface is dusty and shared by other full and part time residents so please keep speed to 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.
