The Turkey Hollow Campground

6 sites · RVs, Tents40 acres · Millersburg, OH

Turkey Hollow is nestled in the rolling hills of Holmes County Ohio. We are right on the edge of the largest Amish settlement in the nation. The primitive campground is in the corner of a small 40 acre farm owned by Matt Polcyn. He started the campground 8 years ago because of his love for nature and real camping. He enjoys traveling in many places in the States and the Caribbean islands and loves finding places off of the beaten path and not commercialized. Because of his interest and love for primitive camping he decided to open the campground in order to provide the same opportunity as a getaway primitive camping location that he tries to find when he travels. We now just added a in the trees, warm water rinse off area.

Pleasant Valley Farm was originally a working farm with a two-story farmhouse and traditional bank barn, built in the late 1800s. The massive timbers and joinery are constant reminders of the meticulous craftsmanship of the era. Jim and Kathy Grogg purchased Pleasant Valley Farm in 1994 and not only updated the house and barn, but also expanded the lake to its current 13 acres.

McKee Farm - Treehouses and Camping

16 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents230 acres · Frazeysburg, OH

McKee Farm is rich in memories and rich in history. It has been in the family for over 150 years and we were told that it was one of stopping points for the underground railroad. The 240 acre farm boasts a hidden cave, wide open fields, breathtaking forest land, and historic and rustic barns. Nestled at the edge of a wooded creek, Tullihas in the Trees treehouse boasts a beautiful sunset view with rolling hills. Tullihas combines comfort with the thrill of being immersed in nature. Built using recycled electric poles, Tullihas in the Trees has a deck perfect for hammocking, an interior dressed with windows so that guests can feel as if they are living amongst the trees, and two small lofts ideal for a restful night's sleep. Oxley in the Woods is our newest treehouse cabin. Nestled in the woods with a view of the sunset, the lovely A Frame is filled with lovely woodwork, vintage parquet flooring, and private wooded views. The deck is huge! We've had guests set up a tent on the deck beside the treehouse for fun! Swings, and a slide make the Oxley a fun adventure. The double bed in the loft and the two stacked single beds are comfortable and cozy. The McKee Farmhouse was built in the 1800s and is rich in memories. It's a rustic old house, with wood trim, hardwood floors, and plenty of imperfections that make it unique. You can sit on the porch and drink your coffee with a view of the barn and pastures, or cozy up in one of the house's four bedrooms and sleep in. The house is fully air conditioned and heated, has all the amenities of home, but takes you back to a simpler time. Our campsites are all set apart from one another in various locations on the 240 acre farm. Secluded and unique, each campsite has its own charm. We provide guests with a fire ring and a shovel, and some sites have a picnic table. Hiking trails are marked throughout the land. Guests can hike with views of horses, cows, wildlife, corn fields, large boulders, and rustic barns. The dirt roads provide great places to drive ATVs and four-wheelers. An Amish farm borders McKee Farm. Guests should know there is minimal cell service, however, this can offer a great opportunity to unplug. Tullihas in the Trees provides a perfect remote and rustic getaway for anyone. In October and November, access to hiking is limited.

Grins & Pickin's CampFarm

47 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents20 acres · Marengo, OH

Grins & Pickin's CampFarm was created to share the outdoors with others. Growing food & flowers, camping & hiking is what we like to do. And we like sharing these activities with others. Our family oriented outdoor recreation facility is open on weekends only and offers primitive camping, PYO produce during the growing season, homesteading activities & nature-based programs. The peaceful 20-acre country farm has food gardens, a frog habitat pool, a barnyard for the chickens & ducks, a bluegill fishin' pond, a pollinator maze, a prairie garden, and an outdoor stage. After crossing a winding creek into 10 acres of woods, you may see deer, turkey, fox, coyote, mink, eagles & barred owls. In early spring, the peepers are peeping, wildflowers are abundant & the vernal pools welcome the wood frogs, salamanders and fairy shrimp. Summer brings on the bullfrogs, butterflies, dragonflies and fireflys. Fall is a great time to pull grapevine to make wreaths & to build stick forts in the woods. We cater to the tent camper so that we can hear frogs & owls instead of generators. But, there is an RV section up front for those with quiet generators with several feet of gravel under the grass to hold the weight of your camper. We charge by the carload & there are different rates for driving back toward the woods for camping depending on the number of wheels & the weight of your vehicle (a factor on the wear & tear on the land). We believe in going outside to play, growing & eating fresh food, strengthening family bonds and promoting the awareness of our natural resources. PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: 1) The speed limit is 5 mph as soon as you enter the property (kids & dogs are quick to dart in front of you). 2) As a state registered campground, it is mandatory that you check in at the house to fill out a Registration Form before heading to your campsite. 3) No glass allowed anywhere on the property (we don't want our feet or paws cut open and can do without flat tires). 4) Children under 18 must be attended to at all times for their safety (the frog pool is 10' deep, the pond is 8-10' deep depending on rains, and the creek can turn into a churning river). Thank you!

Sometimes a blacksmith working you may catch a show but there's metal, stone and wood art to buy all the time. The spots you'll most likely be camping are river side spots well maintained or if you're up for a hike there are caves u can camp at in somewhat untouched wilderness besides some logging trails and old campsite's from others.

The best camping near Mohican State Park guide

Overview

About

In the heart of Ohio's Amish Country, Mohican State Park is a popular getaway for horseback riding, hiking, and mountain biking, with convenient access to the 25-mile Mohican Mountain Bike Trail. Natural features include Lyons Falls, Clear Fork Gorge, and the Mohican River, while Pleasant Hill Lake—ideal for canoeing and kayaking—is nearby. If you want to stay the night, Mohican State Park Campground has 186 campsites and 25 camper cabins, with a mix of full hookups, electric, and non-electric sites, plus shower houses, flush toilets, a dump station, a camp store, a basketball court, and a seasonal swimming pool.

Tips for snagging a campsite

You can make reservations over the phone or online by calling the Ohio State Parks reservation line. Walk-ins aren’t allowed.
Campsites are available from six months in advance of your stay, while cabins are available up to 12 months in advance.
Cabins must be reserved at least one day in advance, while campsites can be reserved up until the day of your stay.
Weekends require a minimum 2-night stay, except on Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends, which require 3-night stays. To stay just one night, either book a weeknight or wait until seven days before your stay (for campsites) or 10 days (for cabins), when last-minute, one-night stays are released.

When to go

Each season offers its own special charms, with ample opportunities for hiking, fishing, and camping in warmer months and great snowmobiling in winter. Summers are the busiest time to visit, particularly between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Autumn is a great time to visit, when crowds are fewer and the trees begin to change color. It’s usually still warm enough to comfortably camp overnight well into October.

Know before you go

The park’s camp store sells basic supplies, with more extensive options available in Loudonville, just outside the park.
Up to two pets are allowed at each campsite, and some cabins are also pet-friendly.
Some tent sites and pull-through sites are ADA accessible.
Group camping is available in a separate area of the park, away from the family campground, and offers a more primitive experience, with fire rings, drinking water, and pit latrines.
