Weekend Trip to The Camp Cabin at the Hallstead

We enjoyed our stay. Weather was rainy so we didn’t have a campfire. However, everything was provided to do so. The cabin was nice and had a cozy feel. We would definitely visit again.

3 nights at The Camp Cabin at the Hallstead

Even though it rained the majority of the time we were there, we still enjoyed everything they had to offer. The kiddos loved the trampoline and playground and of course the animals was a blast for all of us. Thank you for having us!

2 nights at Camping at Heritage Farms

We loved camping at Heritage Farms! Our site was set back away from the road on a hill with shade and a lovely breeze. Carol was very friendly and helped us with the check in process. Wheelbarrows were provided to bring camping gear to the site which was greatly appreciated.

Clean and well maintained. When I had an issue with some bees, Carol & George were very responsive

2 nights at Camping at Heritage Farms

This campsite is absolutely gorgeous. We loved staying here in the pine trees, surrounded by the wildflowers. Good spots to hammock and relax. There was a firepit with a grate and a picnic table that was level! It was nicely shaded for most of the day by the firepit. Only downside was having to haul everything out to the campsite. Probably about a quarter mile hike to site H, so not too far. They provide wagons to haul your stuff to the site and have your firewood already out at your camp when you arrive. Porta pottys were very clean as well! Bring a flashlight/headlamp for when it gets dark there are a few lights when you get up to the cars but none on the pathway. Highly recommend if you are going to Cuyahoga National Park or Blossom Music Center. It’s a 5-15 min drive to get to just about everything! Theres also a very nice local coffee/breakfast shop (Peninsula coffee house) and it’s 4 mins away from the site.

1 night at Camping at Heritage Farms

Really beautiful property and exceptional customer service! It was a convenient place to stay while in town for a concert at the Blossom music center.

3 nights at Camping at Heritage Farms

very nice property and glamping set ups. Campsite 1 wasn't too far from the bathrooms. It didn't have any tress for hammocks or much shade in the mid day though. Would still stay here again.

Camping at its best... Peaceful and beautiful in the middle of many, many varied shapes and sizes of Christmas trees. Such a private and unique tenting adventure.

1 night at Bass and Buck Tent Adventures

Rick is an amazing communicator! Because of all of the rain he moved us to a different campsite for “less muddy” grounds. (From Big Bend to Forge Hill). Very private feeling and peaceful, right by the river. He even filled a wagon full of firewood and left it at our campsite for when we arrived. Super clean potties as well, which is always a bonus. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again if I’m ever back in the area. Thank you Rick!

Weekend Trip to Three Dog Homestead

We enjoyed camping on this property! Our son loved the gobbles of the turkey, and the pups were so sweet. Great location close to everything. It was set up very well to make you feel in the middle of nowhere but still close to everything that Akron and Cuyahoga Valley have to offer.

Weekend Trip to The Turkey Hollow Campground

Had a great experience, love the variety of sites to choose from, would definitely recommend turkey hollow, Absolutely going back.

Absolutely beautiful and peaceful campground! Can’t wait to come back and enjoy another stay! 10/10 very clean and well kept.

Weekend Trip to Bass and Buck Tent Adventures

Private.. Free firewood, and lots of room to walk around.

Weekend Trip to Barrel Run Creek

This site was very private and peaceful! The trains were loud but we love them and we live right by trains so this was no biggie for us! Not too far from the main road but far enough to have an in the woods, away feeling and experience. Plenty of room to work with. We appreciated the free firewood! Would stay again in the future!

Weekend Trip to Barrel Run Creek

This land is very spacious and open for you to explore as you wish. The site is definitely private and secluded which is the best part. There's plenty of shade and provided firewood which was great. The host was very responsive and generous. It seems like there had been a lot of excavating done recently which made it very muddy and not a lot of grass, other than that and the train I think I'll come back here again

Weekend Trip to Sweet Hill

Very easy and convenient. The sites are very easy to find and access. Directions were clear and the hosts were great at communication. Would definitely stay again if in the area!

The Ranch offers veteran and first responder mustang programs year-round. Accommodations include a small one-room cabin nestled on a little pond.

Camping at Heritage Farms

47 sites · Lodging, Tents115 acres · Peninsula, OH

At Heritage Farms, we’re currently a 5th-generation, family-owned and -operated Christmas tree farm headed by my husband, George, and me, Carol. Originally founded in 1848 by my great uncle Lawson Waterman, it was my father who shifted our primary focus to cultivating Christmas trees in 1955. George and I took the reins in 1979 and have been happily continuing the tradition of growing trees while also expanding into other areas, including celebrating Halloween with our month-long Pumpkin Pandemonium in October. We’ve also taken to hosting the Peninsula Flea during the summer months, catering to a wide variety of artisan- and craftsman-centric clientele. As for camping, we began eight years ago following a trip George and I took to Denmark, wherein we stayed in a number of outdoor shelters that would later inspire us to construct the first of our several Adirondack-style shelters. We’ve since expanded to offering six shelters total, three of which share the same Adirondack aesthetic of our original build, and three of which take inspiration from an open-air A-frame design. Along with those shelters, we’ve mapped out nine primitive tent sites, all of which are available for rent, spring through fall—we hope to see you here! Heritage Farms is a 5th-generation, 115-acre farm located in the heart of the scenic Cuyahoga Valley National Park, and as such we are incredibly close to the various trails located across the Cuyahoga Valley. We are a working tree farm, and while we do ask for your care while residing among our fields, we also encourage you to take advantage of the beauty and serenity that our property has to offer! WHAT WE OFFER From April 1st to October 26th, 2024, we have 15 campsites available* for rental, including nine outdoor tent sites, three A-frame sites, two standard Adirondack shelter sites, and one “Glamping” site. Each site comes standard with a fire ring, a grilling grate, a picnic table, and a storage rack for firewood and kindling drop-offs. All shelter sites include closure devices for privacy and protection. Our Glamping site (numbered as Campsite 3) features an upgraded Adirondack shelter that includes a complimentary mattress, screen door and fasteners, exterior curtain, lean-to awning, and full propane grill and tool set. Also included is a furnished campfire ring featuring rustic bench seating and chairs. It’s a perfect site for large groups! Included for use by all campers is our Games Field, located by our lower gravel lot, adjacent to campsites A and B. This field holds a cornhole area, a horseshoes pitch, and a tetherball court, all with playing pieces available. We also have our Lending Wagon, stocked with board games, books, puzzles, and miscellaneous gear campers may need—we do request that all items borrowed from the Lending Wagon be returned before departing Heritage Farms. Other amenities include an information booth where carts, charging stations, and assistance from an on-site attendant can be found. *During October, several of our campsites (A-F, and 6) are closed in lieu of our Pumpkin Pandemonium. As a result, our reservations are limited during this month. SOME THINGS TO KNOW 1. We have capacity limits at our sites. Tent sites, labelled A-J, can hold three (3) tents.

Bass and Buck Tent Adventures

8 sites · Tents230 acres · OH

With over 230 acres, a lake, trails, the Grand River, plenty of wildlife, and FREE firewood. Bass and Buck Adventures is the perfect place to get away. Once known as Parkman Gorge the valley was a hub for water powered industry in the early 1800's. The river and valley is home to a wide array of wildlife. Deer, turkey, eagles, hawks, owls, mink, river otters to name a few. The area also attracts many song birds including a wide variety of warblers. There is also an abundance of wild flowers. The valley is rich in Native American history. Many artifacts have been found on the property. My great grandfather talked about the last Native American to live in Parkman. He had a cabin on one of the bluffs along the river. In the 1820's there was a water powered sawmill, flaxseed mill, and forge on the river. The boy scouts used the valley for a camp in the 1920,s. My grandpa purchased the property in the 50's from Ohio Edison. Ohio Edison's plan to dam up the river for hydro power never materialized. The valley has been a favorite for outdoor enthusiasts. Camping, hiking, fishing, hunting. Many of the items used for the camp sites have been reclaimed. The fire rings are old tractor rims and scrap steel. The tent platform is from reclaimed deck lumber. The firewood is excess cutoffs purchased from a local sawmill. For more information log onto our website. bassandbuckadventures.com

Blueberry Farm Campsites

2 sites · Tents8 acres · Amherst, OH

We have lived here since 2004, the blueberries have lived here for over 60 years. This site has more topography than most of the surrounding county. Learn more about this land: Several sites available on an organic blueberry farm near Oberlin College and Lake Erie. Blueberries are ripe in July. Site #2 is down by the Chance Creek, about 1/2 mile from the driveway. Very peaceful down there - a walk-in site. Site #1 is about 100 yards from the driveway, Site #1 also has access to a small shed. Both sites are woodsy and away from neighbors, roads and houses, however the interstate is not far. When the wind blows from the north you can barely hear it, but when a south wind blows and/or there is rain on the interstate, it can be pretty loud. We don't have a latrine. We have two "luggable-loo's" if you need them, have liners, too.
