Dullen Loop Campsite Introduce

Dullen Loop Campsite, located at 86VW+9J, Tucson, OH 45601, offers a unique and secluded camping experience within the Campgrounds & RV Parks category. This campsite is particularly suited for those seeking a primitive backpacking adventure, away from the crowds.

One of the key features of Dullen Loop Campsite is its seclusion. Guests often report experiencing complete solitude during their stay, making it ideal for those wanting to immerse themselves in nature. However, campers should be prepared for potential wet conditions, which can make finding dry firewood challenging.

Accessing the campsite requires navigating unmarked trails, adding an element of adventure. The recommended parking location is at the bridle trail head on Lipscomb Rd. From there, the campsite is approximately a mile down a gated access road. Campers should follow the wide, road-like trail in the center, passing the bridle trail on the right.

The trail to the campsite involves following the Dunlop trail, where the campsite is located at the right fork after a meadow. Look for a picnic table and fire ring just inside the tree line to identify the campsite.

Navigating the trails between the campsite and the main camping area at Tar Hollow State Park can be challenging due to inconsistent trail markings. Campers are advised to pay close attention to color markers on trees, although figuring out the correct path can be part of the adventure.

Here's what some of our guests have to say:

  • "It was a great campsite in many ways: we didn't see any one the whole three days. But it was quite wet around and we had a hard time finding wood dry enough to keep a fire going."
  • "The trails between the campsite and the main camping area at Tar Hollow State Park weren't always well marked at junctions, so pay attention to the color markers on trees (but figuring out where to go was half the fun)."
  • "We parked at the bridle trail head on Lipscomb Rd. The trail to the campsite is unmarked. To the left is an access road with a gate, and to the right is the bridle trail. Take the middle (gated) trail as wide as a road in the center. The campsite is about a mile down. When you reach the Dunlop trail, the campsite is at the right fork after the meadow. You'll see the picnic table and fire ring just inside the tree line. All in all, great site for a beginners backpacking trip."

Dullen Loop Campsite provides a great opportunity for a beginner's backpacking trip, offering a secluded and adventurous experience. Campers should come prepared for primitive conditions and potential navigational challenges.
