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.

I started this 2 acre homestead earlier this year. It is home to myself, my three dogs, a couple ducks, turkeys, and a crap ton of chickens. I’m very close to all the creature comforts like Walmart and Target, but the property is wooded on three sides so you feel like you’ve gotten away from the city. There is a small creek my dogs love to play in and a large field for frisbee and star gazing. There are hikes close by at Little Turtle Pond and many restaurants within 10 minutes like Woodys, NauitiVine and Magic City Brewery. If you enjoy boating Nimistila Reservoir (electric only very kayak friendly) and Portage Lakes are a quick 12 minute drive. I look forward to meeting you soon!

5 minutes from Ohio Turnpike Exit 145 - Elyria Interchange
I describe Elyria as a "stepping stone" for myself and others assing through. It's where I was born. My backyard parking Lot is downtown and safe to walk around day/night.
Cafés, fast food, bars and restaurants like the Foundary are all within walking distance.
A calm, safe space to park in a historic neighborhood that cares about the community. Located in the backyard of the property on 5th st, there is a fence and tall row of trees that separate one neighbor providing shade on the Lot, and a vacant Lot of land on the other side that provides quiet and fairly private space.
Electrical hook up on site available for add on.
Designated individual parking spaces or the entire lot is available for rent.

Hot tent camped the weekend at Gary and Audrey's, Thornhill Bluff campsite with our 2 dogs! Short little walk to a secluded campsite at the top of the bluff. Along the trail are strung lights to help guide you back and light the site up! The site is large and accommodating for the space that I needed. (12ft diameter tipi hot tent, could definitely accommodate larger!) Fire ring at site and enough wood for anyone who stays. Two wood benches for seating at site. Bathroom is up at the house, but available at all times! Clean and a wonderful amenity to have! Absolutely beautiful views in any direction on the Bluff. We hiked along the bluff to check out the steep ravine that leads down to the Sand Run Metro Park. Took a couple rides down the Zipline in the back yard, where there are also trampolines, a private pond and some other fun amenities we haven't checked out yet! Our hosts were amazing, the camping was phenomenal, thank you Gary and Audrey!

I absolutely loved the area. Bo was very nice. The scenery and the camp sites were really cool. My only thing (which was kinda on me) was I was unable to get a fire started because I came in the wet season. But spring and summer would be a whole different experience! Would definitely come back!

Stayed for the weekend and celebrated a fall crafting camp themed around the change in fall season and the creatures that lurk. Our reservation was made for a group only a few days before our 4 night stay. Gary was very fast with communication and we were happy with the reservation. Gary accommodated us when we arrived a day earlier by mistake (inquired about Wednesday-Sunday night but accidentally booked Thursday-Sunday only). The bathroom is convenient and hot water was a game changer for camping. The property is beautiful, the zipline is an added bonus, and Gary was awesome!

Great night at Site #2, just a walk down into the forest and across the hill. Be ready to carry your gear from where you parked. Got to see some wildlife and sleep down by the stream. Would recommend, and check out the trails in the area.

What a great spot! We didn’t originally anticipate stopping in Akron, but wanted to spend a day at CVNP, so when we found Blackberry Campsite we decided to camp there for a couple nights. It’s a great lil wooded area right in town, you can’t beat the location for convenience and it was as quiet as if you’re deep in the woods. Hannah was an excellent host and responded immediately with anything we needed. Saving this location!

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.

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.

I had a really pleasant stay at Three Dog Homestead. It was a secluded, peaceful spot only a 10-minute drive from downtown Akron. A simple setup with a primitive vibe that allowed the natural ambience of birdsong (turkeys included) and morning sunlight filtering through leafy trees to shine through. Recommend if you're looking for a quiet spot close to the city.
