We had a quick stop over at James farm on a road trip West and it was everything we needed. He responded quickly and even got us some fire wood last minute. We didn’t get to meet as we arrived late and left early but it was a beautiful place. The bathroom in the barn a great plus!

Stayed at Jim and his wife’s place many times. We have always enjoyed the property, hospitality, some great fishing and the beautiful views. I would agree with their go camp award of “Best in Ohio 2025!

#6 Lake side
We stayed at site six, which is the most reviewed site.
Pros:
Fishing - lots of bluegill and bass.
The site is right on the water and very spacious.
There's a nice path to walk off the site.
There is a toilet, in the barn.
The owner was friendly and pointed us to where we needed to go.
Cons:
Its also right on the road, not overly busy, but still kind of noisy.
The price, for three people for the weekend it was almost $150, for that price I can get two camp sites at a state park and fit 12 people. The listing books per person.
No trash bin.
Overall it was a pleasant stay, but cost prohibitive for what it is.

This is my go to spot. I come to this beautiful property a couple of times a year. James and his wife are so sweet and helpful. They maintain everything really well.
Beware the wood site is full of ticks! We were pulling them off of our dogs constantly. But the site is very private and a perfect getaway.

Mr. Grogg is a great & sweet man!
His farm is just what we needed.
We will go back & always stay at #6 campsite!
This place is tranquil, beautiful, & quiet.
There is a lot to do:
Kayaking, canoeing, hiking trails, you can swim & there is a creek that runs through.
We LOVE this Place!!!
Thank you Mr. Grogg for your hospitality!

Jim greeted us as soon as we pulled in and was absolutely lovely. His property is clearly very cared for and built with a lot of love. His pond is perfect for relaxing and our pup had an amazing time. There's a Walmart about 8 minutes away, which was great considering I forgot about 10 items haha.
We will definitely come back and camp again!

Beautiful property and lovely hosts. The kids loved swimming and fishing in the lake. We will be back, but probably stay on a different site, as site 7 didn’t have any shade.

#6 Lake side
This is a beautiful property with everything you could want for a relaxing camping trip. I was greeted warmly and my campsite was clean and ready to go.
Restrooms are available in a gorgeous barn near the house. There are hiking trails, fishing, swimming, and loads of birds to watch if that’s your thing. Even an eagle made an appearance!
My dog and I had the best time and will definitely be back!

#5 Wood side
There is nothing not to love about #5 Woodside at Pleasant Valley Farm! Jim was there to greet us, even though we arrived near dark. Firewood was offered, directions to the site were given, and the signage was clear but unobtrusive. Once at #5 Woodside, we gazed upon a small meadow ringed in trees, featuring natural beauty and seclusion, along with a picnic table, a stone fire ring, and a perfect spot for our pop-up. The Saturday walkabout revealed old farm buildings, a lovely, large pond, and walking paths deep into the trees. It was a near-perfect day cooled by an evening shower. I hesitate to let all you Hipcampers know how nice this place is for fear that I will not be able to get it again. If you are in the Mansfield, Lucas, Lexington, Ohio area looking for a peaceful camp away from the state park, this is it.

We enjoyed the large campsite and the peaceful environment at the Pleasant Valley Farm. We appreciated the availability of flush toilets and potable water in the barn, as well as having firewood for purchase. It was a good experience and we plan on returning again! Jim and his wife are friendly, welcoming, and helpful hosts!

#9 Barn Side
Another great weekend at the farm, we love it. We even had a baby deer visiting our site at sunset. Bring wood as doing a fire place at night under the stars is very nice.

We camped in site #6 with small 16 foot camper. It was such a great place. The spot is big enough to turn camper around. There was a fire ring made from rocks and picnic table. Fishing was great. Caught lots of bass and some bluegills. We even used their canoe for free. We kept it at our site all weekend. This is such a great place to camp. Also there wasn't any other campsites up by pond so you had area to yourself. We will definitely go back and recommend camping their. All sites are nice.

Thank you James for sharing your land with us. My husband enjoyed fishing. Whit (our dog) enjoyed the walks many many walks on the property. I will always remember the beautiful full moon over the corn field. And coffee close to the fire Sunday morning.

What a lovely spot! James and Master Toby (the scruffy dog) were very welcoming. The spot was cozy (#9) - the camp spot is at the bottom of the hill, not by the lake as pictured. The bathrooms in the barn were convenient. We loved making a fire and cooking meals.

Beautiful spot, wish we had more time to enjoy the lake. Very private site and the host James was super nice. The restroom was very handy and tidy. Also really nice to have our dog off lease. We’ll definitely return!

What a beautiful camp site! We were right next to the lake in a little secluded part of the property. We highly recommend while staying to go visit the Mohican State park and enjoy the beautiful views there as well. Definitely recommend staying here at Pleasant Valley Farm!

#11 Overlook
Jim's property is beautiful and we particularly enjoyed paddle boarding on his lake! We stayed at site #11 and had a great overlook view and was within short walking distance to super clean plumbed bathroom. Definitely recommend this HipCamp and we look forward to another visit!

This is our annual camping spot now because it genuinely is so lovely! It’s the perfect getaway- we saw herons, an eagle, caught fish, and had some stunning evening stars.

I didn't stay due to the amount of rain, but I did see the property and it is a very pretty little farm. I would've enjoyed it if it wasn't soaking wet.

Site 5 is best accessed with all-wheel drive, but my minivan managed fine as conditions were dry. This lovely spot surrounded by a corn field and woods, is perfect for a small group who'd like a little privacy and don't mind a short walk to the bathrooms. The small lake is perfect for the kids to fish or swim in. There are lots of sightseeing activities in the area. Hosts are extremely kind and helpful. I'll be back!
