Jason and Marcie's place was practically perfect! I was in town for a concert and needed a place nearby the casino to rest and begin following day exploring CVNP. It's peaceful and roomy, but still within a few minutes of restaurants, retail , etc if you need to run an errand.
Marcie greeted me shortly after arrival and made sure I knew where everything was. She answered all my questions and was ok with me coming back late after the show. I was the only Hipcamper that night so I had the whole place to myself!

A very special first Hipcamp experience thanks to Marcy & Jason! ✨
They are such wonderful, generous, and communicative hosts who made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. We loved chatting with them and exploring their beautiful property…from canoeing on the pond and spotting fish to picking fresh berries near our site. The location couldn’t have been better: perfectly situated near Cuyahoga National Park, farm stands, and plenty of local attractions/amenities. We couldn’t have asked for a more welcoming and memorable stay!

Really nice hosts, with a beautiful view! Felt extremely private and was super close to I-80 so it’s great for the beginning of a long road trip.

Beautiful property. Had so much fun fishing and hanging out on the dock. Very private. It was too chilly to swim but we would definitely go back during warmer weather. Michael was very responsive and helpful.

Weekend Trip to Heritage Lake Farm
We had a great time camping! Don’t think about coming here just do it! Our third year in a row! Swimming, fishing, cooking out by the fire. All of it in a private setting.

I loved the gorgeous pond and saw fish jumping, a cottontail rabbit, two deer coming to graze under the apple trees, and enjoyed dipping my feet in the warm pond water under the willow tree. Very close to major intersections which makes it easy to find, so there is some road noise (bring ear plugs if that bothers you) but this is truly a hidden gem.

Such a picturesque site... the pond, rolling hills, lots of space to play! The hosts were awesome. Our younger grandson was able to take the rowboat out all by himself, which was so much fun for him! We'll come back next time we're in the area!

Loved our stay at this campground! The fishing was fantastic—mostly bass, up to 16" or so. The grounds were clean, quiet, and clearly well cared for. The hosts were super friendly and made us feel right at home. It’s just a short drive to nearby stores. Definitely recommend.

Stayed for an evening in one off the tipi’s with my 6yr old. We had a blast exploring the property. My son loved hanging out with with the chickens, goats and riding the train track that they built. We will 100% be coming back.

Tent
For those that can't get by without a shower this is great. The basement level of the cabin has all the house essentials, but you still get to stay in a tent or rv for everything else associated with camping. Our dog enjoyed being off leash at the property and we loves being the only ones there.
