Misty Ridge Farm

My farm is a family friendly horse boarding and lesson farm. We are unique in that we specialize in recreational riding for all ages. Trail riding is a great way to experience horses and since we camp in all parts of the country we though it made sense to let others pitch a ten here.  We have loads of possibility around the farm to camp.  You can stay close to bathroom and civilization or take a hike to the top of one of our 800 foot hills!Learn more about this land:We have a grassy flat area out behind our barn for tent camping. Parking is within 200 feet from camp site. But adventurous people are able to hike up an 800 foot Hill and camp up on a ridge with a beautiful view of the area. In winter you can see Ohio River.  Possible tent site locations along a large creek.We are a working horse farm first!  So camper space is not always available.  Just depends on hay and horse trailer activity.  Sorry!!

Todd’s Fork Adventures

This property was the original location of Todd’s Fork Bluegrass Festivals back in the 70’s and is directly on Todd’s Fork with 1/2 mile of River frontage. We reside within the Village of Morrow, walking distance to restaurants and stores. The little Miami Bike Trail is approximately 1/4 mile from our entrance. This property is tucked away and you wouldn’t even know you’re close to town once you’re on site. Valley Vineyards is right down the road to enjoy a bottle of wine and cook your own steak dinner nights. Take a trip to visit Fort Ancient with a day hike. A Native American earthworks complex, the largest hilltop enclosure in the world and soon to be a World Heritage site! Enjoy some canoeing on the Little Miami River a State and National scenic river which is within walking distance. We have kayaks on location for the kids to play in the creek and creeks to hike with numerous fossils deposits. Southwestern Ohio is famous for its Ordovician fossil deposits.  Kings Island is approximately 20 minute drive and the Ohio renaissance Festival is near. Caesars creek state park in Cowan lake state park is within a short drive.  Smallmouth Bass fishing  is awesome on Todd’s Fork and we have plenty of area to Wade fish.

Laurel Bend - Urban Farm Stay

EVERY TIME YOU VISIT, YOU HELP CREATE SOMETHING LIFE CHANGING

Previously a campground, our family purchased this property in 2020 to create a program for disabled adults to have education, work and social opportunities.

The property is a peaceful 27 acres at the bend of Licking River. The grounds themselves have several clear areas surrounded by trees. There are many picnic areas, a few small shelters with picnic tables and two gazebos with seating in the clearing at the back of the property. Over the (dry) river through the woods is a clearing with community fire pit and primitive seating. There is also a small play ground area, small basketball court and a few tetherball poles.

Across the street, there is a public boat ramp access and beautiful Kincaid Lake is just minutes away, with boat access, daily boat rentals, fishing and other amenities there.

Play structure with bridge, swings and slide.

Pictured is our beloved Red Bud Meadow, where we had our first picnic as brand new homesteaders with two small boys, and where over last 35 years so many memories have been created, like the one seen here, a cowboy campout we did for our boys & their friends. 

Camping Along the Old Bison Trail

Peaceful Secluded Campsites are what you want.  Several beautiful settings will be what you get and much much more.

Our campsites lie along the Old Buffalo Trace, the name given by early pioneers to the massive trail left by centuries of migrating bison that traveled right through this property.

Making their way between salt and mineral licks along the Ohio and Kentucky Rivers, these herds were part of the plentiful wild game which was the reason so many local native tribes referred to old "Cain-tuk-ee" as their "Happy Hunting Ground".

Our 7 campsites are constructed on "The Old Coates Homestead" where we make our home in the original 1858 Homestead house which we recently restored and where we make our delicious  gourmet foods.  (learn more here: www.steepleviewfarmstore.com)

We have sites to fit everyone's needs.  Five sites are accessible by vehicle.  Two are "walk in" only.  

The vehicle accessible sites range from sites for one tent, pop up or van campers, to our featured site "Thistledown Gathering Place" which a large group size setting great for scouting trips, church groups, multi-family camping and parties of up to 16 people.

Each site has a fire ring, fire wood is available for purchase,  we offer clean and well maintained portable toilets, municipal drinking water, hiking trails, and lots and lots of wildlife to help you commune with the absolute beauty of this peaceful farm named Steepleview Farm (learn more here: www.steepleviewfarm.com).

But camping isn't the only reason to choose Steepleview Farm.  It becomes base camp for so many people looking to take in the amazing itinerary of activities so close by.  Here are just a few:

The Ark Encounter

The Creation Museum

Historic Old Frankfort (state capitol) with historic home and capitol tours

Historic Madison Indiana, a river captains town of magnificent homes and a quaint little town for strolling, or the Madison Regatta or the BBQ festival

Big Bone Lick State Park, massive prehistoric dinosaur dig

Buffalo Trace Distillery

Neeley Family Distillery

Belterra Casino

Clifty Falls State Park

Old Frankfort Cemetery, burial site of Daniel and Rebecca Boone

and so much more....

And don't forget, the history of this place makes your stay that much more than just a night in a campground.  You will be sleeping among the spirits of history, the native Americans who hunted this land, the earliest pioneers who mapped it for the expansion west, the early 1800's homesteaders who cleared and worked the land with teams of horses, the centuries of tobacco farmers who shipped their goods to market on the many rivers and streams that surround you.

We work very hard to make this THE best camping destination you will find anywhere.  And, upcoming.........Pioneer Log Cabins.  We have recently acquired a collection of log cabins for a true to life, historic reenactment staycation.  

We are fortunate that one of the cabins was the frontier church known as "Shilo Baptist Church" from 1830-1840.  The pastor of this church baptized Abraham Lincoln's father and is credited with having changed his attitudes toward ending slavery.

Our hiking trails and nature trails bring you lots of knowledge, peace, shade, cool breezes and you can bring your horse (no motorized recreational vehicles) oh and lots of wildlife viewing.

Here are a few of our featured campsites:

 

REDBUD MEADOW: Our first campsite used by hundreds of people over the years.

 A secluded lawn in the midst of redbud trees, easy to drive to and from with a pile of firewood and a metal fire ring.

 The premier site on our property.

 

THE BAPTISMAL POND: As history goes the pond in front of this site was used in the 1800's for baptisms for the church visible from everywhere on the farm, thus our name.

This is a tent site, easy to drive into and out of, fires permitted in season.

THISTLEDOWN GATHERING PLACE: This is a very large meadow, surrounded by trees with the capacity for large groups, many tents and gatherings of lots of people.

Very level, easy in and out with vehicles. Fires permitted in season.

WHITETAIL SANCTUARY: Every night for decades a herd of whitetail deer graze in this pastoral setting.

Drive in and out, fires in season.

Suitable for a family sized tent.

THE PENNINSULA:

TOTEM TREES: This site is WALK IN ONLY.

 A short hike down the hill from the grass parking area and you have a small spot for a tent, in the woods, surrounded by trees and a lot of standing dead ash which appear as if you are in the presence of totem poles.
