Weekend Trip to The McIntosh Pines

Absolutely fantastic spot. Lots of trails to explore. Very secluded. Nice view of the creek from the camping spot but far enough away you don't need to worry about mud and bugs.

3 nights at Grins & Pickin's CampFarm

Christy’s land was perfect four our family with two young kids for a fun Fourth of July weekend. We had privacy right by the creek and set up hammocks in the woods. She had activities set up with prizes that my kids went crazy over. We enjoyed fishing and thought the bullfrog pond was so cool. We were checking off Ohio animals and creatures and we saw so many right on her land and is a pollinators dream! Her land is close enough to Alum Creek if you want a water day which we did and fully enjoyed! Forever grateful for Christy’s hospitality!

2 nights at Grins & Pickin's CampFarm

I'm a repeat customer, and will be back again in Fall. That should tell ya something.

Weekend Trip to The McIntosh Pines

I didn’t know what to expect as this was our first time using Hipcamp, but we were not disappointed! The site is super private, on a ledge overlooking the creek (which was very shallow and still during our stay). On wetter weeks the site may be a tricky to get to, but we didn’t have any issues in our normal 2WD SUV. We wanted a weekend with little to no human interaction and that’s what we got : ) Would definitely come back.

Weekend Trip to Bluebird Hollow

Had a great time at this camp spot! We took our kids and they had a blast playing in the water. It did rain some while we were there so the pavilion was great for our kids to stay under until it stopped. We will be booking this site again!

Weekend Trip to Away From The World Farm

This was my first time using the site and it was a good experience. The owners were very responsive and the site is beautiful. Definitely recommend.

Weekend Trip to The Lake at the Flying J Farm

A very decent spot to tent camp, especially considering the price. It’s certainly primitive, but that’s part of the adventure! Host is very kind as well. I would definitely recommend trying this spot out! We loved getting to take out the row boat, catch baby frogs, and cook over the campfire.

Weekend Trip to The Pleasant Valley Farm

Jim was an exceptional host and the property boasts a number of excellent and accessible amenities - big camp sites, clean bathrooms, beautiful lake.

Weekend Trip to Cherokee Valley Bison Ranch Creekside Retreat

The camp was clean set up well with things that you might need the owners were awesome it was just a wonderful experience spent two nights there with my grandbabies and my son and his wife and my daughter and we had an awesome time the buffalo meat was awesome buffalo burgers we highly recommend

Weekend Trip to The Pleasant Valley Farm

Great site! Right on the pond with a peaceful view of the caretakers property across the water. Simply gorgeous. Good fishing! We caught 12 bluegill. Caretaker is very welcoming and helpful. Bathroom facilities are within a barn on the property. Nicely maintained and clean. Would highly recommend. A couple of things to note: There is a road behind the campsite with active traffic. During the day, the traffic can be easily heard. Didn't bother us much. To get to the campsite, there is a significant bump to drive over which really is best for high clearance vehicles. This site is about a 5 minute walk to the bathrooms.

Weekend Trip to Countryside Corner

It rained the whole time but the site was fantastic, so peaceful!

2 nights at Pleasant Valley Farm Camp

We loved tent camping here, fantastic (5 year old friendly) trails, loved the access to the creek, peaceful, great for resetting back into nature.

Weekend Trip to Cherokee Valley Bison Ranch Creekside Retreat

Very neat place! Our kids loved the experience of seeing the bison, playing in the creek and sleeping in a tipi! Carie and Jarrod were so nice and welcoming! 10/10 recommend for a fun experience.

Weekend Trip to The Turkey Hollow Campground

Great cabins. I would suggest renting both and maybe the Kermit’s bottom campground outside for a memorable large gathering. Sweet location. Never found the shower though. I’m sure it’s there somewhere within the trees, but it was invisible to us.

Weekend Trip to The Turkey Hollow Campground

Beautiful camp ground. There’s a pond you can fish in and there’s a 4 person kayak that is a ton of fun. The two small cabins we stayed in were perfect. The experience was well worth it. I’d recommend getting thee two cabins along with the meadow at the bottom of the hill (Kermit’s bottom) for large get-togethers. The only negative thing was that we couldn’t find the shower and didn’t have anybody that we could ask where it was. Great time if you’re looking for a secluded camping stay.

Weekend Trip to Grins & Pickin's CampFarm

An absolute gem of a place. A warm & friendly welcome from Christy who lets you know from the getgo what the land has to offer. So nice, that you almost want to keep it a secret.

4 nights at Towpath Trail Peace Park

I appreciated Joe’s friendliness! It was nice to have a porter potty to use the restroom and a solar powered place to charge cellphones. I like the accessibility to the trail and Joe’s knowledge of the native Americans.

Weekend Trip to Pleasant Valley Farm Camp

Third time coming here and we keep coming back for a reason. Easy check in, private camp site with awesome extras. Love this place, we look forward to it every year.

3 nights at Pleasant Valley Farm Camp

What a perfect first time Hipcamping experience for our group! This site was everything we wanted it to be & more. The seclusion was excellent. The site was flat, dry, & cool for our 3 dogs! It was so nice being shaded by the abundant tree coverage, while still having sunshine sprinkled throughout the site. We really enjoyed watching the sun fall beneath the tree line across the meadow in the evenings. Definitely be prepared for a trek to & from the site! Wasn’t a bother for my group, but for sure an unintended workout lol! We can’t wait to book another trip.

Weekend Trip to The Lake at the Flying J Farm

It was wonderful experience. Host prof. Richard shared all his academic and agricultural insights. Highly recommended place.

Fern Hollow Farm

Erik and Olivia were introduced to the little piece of family land that would become Fern Hollow Farm in June of 2014. What was an Alfalfa (medicago sativa) field lain fallow for seven years, would soon have bigger ambitions. After walking the meadow and feeling the magic of place, Olivia and Erik began the work of designing. Shortly thereafter, they set off across the US, staying at various permaculture oriented farms; with herbalists, seed savers and more, looking for inspiration and learning everything they could along the way. One seed saver, the awe-inspiring Sylvia Davatz of Solstice Seeds in Vermont, gifted them the two wild Kazak apple trees that are on either side of the entrance, and are featured in the logo as well.Begun officially in 2015, Fern Hollow Farm is an ever-evolving, community-based entity inspired by three simple ethics: Earth Care * People Care * Fair Share

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. Our family oriented outdoor recreation facility 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 fireflies. 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!
