Learn more about this land:
Our location is also home to our fantasy destination, The Fun Farm. Not only is the scenery replete with natural beauty - the pond, the fields, the sledding hill, the nature trail through the forest - but also a setting to engage the imagination!
Additional services may be arranged on-site. For example, who would you like to have breakfast with? A superhero? A princess? Or perhaps a souvenir caricature of you and your group is in order to commemorate the experience? Maybe an experiential art, dance, drama or music lesson? Guided tours of the grounds can also be arranged to learn more about the history of the farm and it's originality.
If you're interested in a "day trip" or even a limited event, we have the facilities to accommodate your birthday or holiday, engage in art Classes, raise funds for your good cause or enjoy "something different" for this year's corporate party. We're also open to your ideas for a custom school, festival or carnival event. We can accommodate groups from 1 to 400 (maybe more, if we send a few enchanted creatures on vacation!)
MORE NOTES ABOUT THE CAMPSITE: We're flexible with wherever you would like to pitch your tent, but the spots we have established are next to our cabin (where the lighting is best and the ground is flattest.) Parking is most easily found next to these sites as well (and the lighting is also excellent.) Also, in the near vicinity, a shared firepit is readily available and can accommodate at least 12 people.
Check out the additional options (like firewood bundles) below and let us know how we can help you make great memories!

We're excited to share this beautiful area, especially the adorable shed and gardens we created for others to experience the peace of God. It's our hope that many will discover the tranquility we have come to appreciate here.Learn more about this land:The Shed Retreat is a sacred space for anyone looking to shed their worries, fears, and busy schedules.

First of all, the place was beautiful! The lights on the buildings were magical! Troy was nice enough to help us late at night for a place to pull through with my class A and car on dolly just for electricity! It was cold and we were driving til we found something! Big area to camp for tents or other RVs and only the 15 amp for plug in but a delightful place! Bring the kids just for the sights! Troy was so nice and hung out in the cold to help me park! Great with communication and a heart to help!

We had a great stay! The setup was a breeze, and Audrey was incredibly helpful throughout the process.
What We Loved:
Easy Setup: Setup was easy and Audrey was very helpful. The electric hookup was conveniently close, and Audrey even provided a hose extension since the water was a few yards away.
It was a unique experience waking up to the sounds of the chickens and crowing rooster. There is also an abundance of grass to hangout if that's what you're looking for.
Could Be Improved / Important Notes:
The actual spot I stayed on (15amp) was part of the rock driveway.
The turkeys are a bit curious and hopped onto my truck and camper. I was worried their talons might damage the cloth. However, after messaging Audrey, she quickly put them away which eased my worry.
Overall Impression:
Audrey was a very responsive and accommodating host. I would book again if heading to that area.

We had a relaxing time at Shawn's Schoolhouse Camp. We were provided easy understandable directions and a great rate . We were greeted by the onsite property manager who was very nice . We were fortunate to have the whole place to ourselves and had our pick of sites. The property was very well kept. Very clean grounds. Beautiful mature trees and landscaping.
There was a wonderful fire pit with cooktop so all that was needed was our utensils .The brats turned out magnificent! Nice picnic table area and chairs to relax in. Ample room for our pup to play . Had a nice bonfire later in the evening.
When in the area we will most definitely look to see if he has availability for another stay.

This place was perfect to camp out & reset! Loretta is a super accommodating host, and her yard is charming & well taken care of. The neighborhood community is very warm and friendly. I was greeted by the 3 sweet small pups who live next door when I pulled in. I met Loretta's little dog Chiwee once I settled in. The dogs are all best friends. There's also cats and chickens, it was lovely to see all the animals coexisting!
I'm a solo woman camper, and I felt super safe and looked after while here. My own little dog got along surprisingly well with their pups. Somehow, they taught my dog to not chase the chickens (they were a good influence on my dog, lol.) The vibe here feels very mellow and trusting. It was a refreshing change after being in the city, where the vibe is more on edge.
I had the yard all to myself, and it was dazzling to watch the sunset over the field in the evenings. I setup my camp under the big tree towards the back of the property, and it kept cool and shady until the afternoon!
The site looks toward the road, although not busy, the cars that do go by can be fast & noisy at times. Not a dealbreaker, but something to be mindful of, especially if you have dogs still working on recall!
The town is less than 10 minutes away with all the big grocery stores and fast food chains. Definitely a convenient place to stop by, rest, or even get the hang of solo camping like I did!
Thank you Loretta for sharing your delightful corner of the world with Hipcamp! 💛

We stopped for 1 night on our way home from Michigan back to Columbus just to break up the drive. Very peaceful, great sunset, nice shade, and the dogs loved it too. Shawn was very friendly and accommodating. Water and electric hook up and we could dump on our way out which is a great perk! Definitely recommend stay here.

Shawn was a perfect host and quick to respond to questions. Plenty of space for my 24’ Class C! Of course the water, electric and sewer are a bonus. Sssoooo reasonably priced! Loved walking his property and seeing the lake, birds, cranes and 2 beautiful Swans with their 5 babies! Would definitely stay here again in the future!

This is a great spot for getting away from the busy campgrounds. Idyllic setting underneath trees and surrounded by corn fields. Shawn is a friendly and communicative host. Easy in and out for our trailer and not far from gas stations, a grocery store, and restaurants. Electric and water hookups available, plus a dump on the way out. Tons of outdoor areas including a garden bench and firepit. Highly recommend.
