Stories from the community

7 nights at Secluded Mt. Airy Camp

Wonderful host's, one of cincinnatis hidden gems. If you need to get away but can't go far, this is the place.

3 nights at Quiet Creek Valley

We had a wonderful time at Martha’s land. She was so kind, and helpful. We will be back for sure!

Weekend Trip to Quiet Creek Valley

Everything was great, we really enjoyed our stay on Martha's land. The sites sit just next to a great creek and there was a beautiful plot of corn growing. Martha was super responsive and helped us find our site. Would definitely stay again!

5 nights at Handyland

Beautiful and open space foe camping. The views, weather and property where better than expected. My boys loved the creek! We typically like to not stay in the same place twice but this might be an exception. Keep in mind this is tick country so come prepared and check often.

Weekend Trip to Rolling Meadow Outpost

Great space with beautiful sunsets. The host responded quickly to any questions. The directions were easy to follow. We will definitely stay again.

Weekend Trip to Carriage House Farm

Nice view, space between other campsites. Easy access to restaurant and stage. I didn't get to explore all the grounds. I plan on coming back.

Weekend Trip to Away at Green Hill

Very scenic, quiet and so charming. Teri was super responsive to my last minute inquiry which was so appreciated. I wished I could have stayed longer and will definitely be back!!

5 nights at Cabin and Company (RV/Campers only)

This is our third time staying at Jim and Sharon's place, and it won't be our last. There are so many quaint Ohio towns to check out within 15 to 30 minutes of the campsite. But the campsite is so perfect, you may not even want to leave for your entire visit. Stop reading reviews and book it! You won't regret it.

2 nights at Cabin and Tent Camping On The River

The tent camping site was all we wanted plus more. It's a bit isolated so it's serene and quiet plus it's right by the Little Miami river. Everything is clean and up to date. It's a first class place for camping. I'm sure we'll return,

1 night at Secluded Mt. Airy Camp

I loved tent camping on this property with the fire pit. Close walking distance to the Arboretum which was a nice surprise. Everything is secluded but stores are also easily accessible. Very enjoyable beautiful spot!

Weekend Trip to Home Afarm

Nice view of the starts at night. Next time I'm bringing my telescope

1 night at Home Afarm

My family stayed in the cabin and it was very peaceful and comfortable! Basil’s description of the cottage was right on. She was very nice and made us feel comfortable to ask if we needed anything. I would recommend!

Weekend Trip to Quiet Creek Valley

The sites are dispersed very well so there is a ton of privacy! Site 3 is set up nicely with room for a couple of medium to large tents and a spot to park on the other side of the lane. Fantastic scenery and great spots to explore!

Weekend Trip to Camping Along the Old Bison Trail

I had an amazing stay at Steepleview Farms! The tent site was spacious with plenty of room to spread out and set up camp comfortably. Marcus was an excellent host—super communicative and responsive to both texts and calls, which made everything smooth from start to finish. The site itself is peaceful and private, surrounded by trees with plenty of trails to explore nearby. The fire pit was a great touch, and having a porta-potty on-site was really convenient. Firewood was also available for purchase, which made campfires easy and enjoyable. Honestly, there was nothing I didn’t like about this place. If you’re looking for a quiet, well-maintained campsite with a reliable host and great amenities, I highly recommend Steepleview Farms!

1 night at Camping Along the Old Bison Trail

This was our first time using Hipcamp, and we had a great experience. The host was great to communicate where our site was located. It was a peaceful, quiet night. I’ll be using the platform again, and I would consider staying here again if in the area.

Weekend Trip to Handyland

I loved tent camping here! The property is gorgeous and so well maintained, and the hospitality is unmatched. I brought my kids here for their first “real” camping trip and we loved every single minute of it- thanks so much for having us!

Weekend Trip to The Shack

Great place! We stayed at the little tree house. It was a perfect spot. Tucked into the edge of the woods and right next to the fire pit with picknick table and the Loo that were nestled in a clearing in the woods. The edge of the pond is visible from the front windows. We had the place all to ourselves. We fished the catch and release pond that had HUGE carp, and had dinner on the cute dock. We took our kayaks down to Cowan Lake, of which there is access to, about a mile down the road from the property. Owners were friendly. Offered us another night if we wanted, but even though their house is on the property (around the corner and barely visible) they gave us our space and we felt that our privacy was respected. There was a heating terracotta pot with candles which was so exciting! It got a little chilly but that heated us right up. The one burner stove is butane, not propane like stated, but B brought our little camp stove to make coffee anyways so we were all set. Bring everything you need to go camping and this place will be an absolute dream. I can't wait to go back! Check out more of my pictures. #Kentuckyhotwine @_amy__adventures

4 nights at Quiet Creek Valley

This spot was great! Very private, even on a holiday weekend. Would absolutely stay here again!

Weekend Trip to Away at Green Hill

We had a great weekend tent camping on Gobbler’s Knob. The site felt private and the property was very quiet (besides the lovely birds!). The outhouse was clean and well stocked, and the firewood nearby was super convenient. We would definitely camp here again!

Weekend Trip to Carriage House Farm

We had a great time at Carriage House Farm! Richard the host was gracious and outgoing and wanted to make our stay enjoyable. The sites are spaced apart to provide privacy and have a long picnic table and a grill. A short stroll down the hill and you arrive at Lost Brigde Brewing Company. We enjoyed several live bands and local brews with a nicely stocked bar. Great chill vibe here and very dog friendly. Wonderful place to hang out. We'll definitely return!

Sweet Spot by Yellow Springs

1 site · RV, Tent1 acre · Yellow Springs, OH

The campsite is in an open meadow on our 5 acre property, next to the ruins of what was one of the oldest barns in the county (there are still some beautiful stone walls left). You will be surrounded by trees and the spot is completely private. Directly across the road from our property (a 5 minute walk) is the Little Miami Scenic Trail, the third longest paved trail in the US (amazing for biking). The unique village of Yellow Springs is only a 5 minute drive away with a great local grocery store and several cafes. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE BOOKING. Notes: 1) For camper vans: we do allow camper vans (not RVs or trailers) but you will need to park at the entrance of the meadow where there is gravel. Recently a camper got stuck in the meadow due to rain/mud (which is why we do not allow RVs or trailers). 2) We are still building a compost toilet so the option on the property now is to dig a cat hole at least 6" deep. There is an open public toilet in Yellow Springs and several businesses with open bathrooms. 3) The campsite is right off of Route 68. You cannot see cars from the site but you can hear them. The amount of noise from cars is lower at night. 4) The meadow is ideal for tent camping, though it is NOT a built campsite so it is not perfectly level throughout.

Cabin and Company (RV/Campers only)

1 site · Lodging3 acres · West Alexandria, OH

Our beautiful 1800’s cabin was moved to the property in the 1970’s by a former neighbor who owned the property at the time. The same neighbor also had a historic train depot moved to the property where she sold antiques out of for several years. It is not sure what the cabin was used for at that time but it certainly added charm to the antique store property. When we acquired the property years later, the cabin was in need of work. It sat for a few years until we decided to restore this lovely cabin back to it’s beautiful charm and character. Jim spent a couple years on the project working in his free time and added the porch using old wood in keeping with the natural look and feel of the cabin as well as some interior areas. Upon completion, we opened the cabin as a gift shop selling unique items including antiques, primitives and decor for a few years. We decided to transition the cabin into a place of retreat for traveling guests and still keep some of the goods we sold in the shop available for purchase. We hope that you find the cabin and property a place of peace and tranquility and will want to return. Whether passing through for a night or a few days stay, you’re always welcome in our neck of the woods. Learn more about this land: Make a stop back in time to our quiet woodland retreat with an updated 1800’s log cabin nestled on the property. At Cabin and Company, you will be parked beside this beautiful cabin and will be allowed access at your leisure for a place to sit and relax. (No overnight sleeping allowed inside) Enjoy a cup of coffee or tea (provided) while watching tv or on our covered porch outside. You may also select a movie or two from our large selection of DVDs or find a book to read among our stash of books. Play cards, engage in one of the other games provided, or just sit in the quiet of it all and rest your mind. There is a golf chipping area as well as basketball. We have WIFI at our residence on the adjacent property and some areas of the camp will pick it up better than others. There is a fire ring on site with an adjustable grate for cooking and plenty of seasoned firewood available.. We will have a few items available for purchase inside the cabin including local honey (when available) apple butter, coffee, hand crafted walking sticks and you won’t want to leave without some of these goodies. This semi secluded property is a gem and we hope you will enjoy this piece of history as much as we do. You may see wildlife such as whitetail deer and of course, there are plenty of birds and squirrels around. You won’t be disappointed in this cozy Midwest retreat and will want to make this one of your places while passing through our beautiful Ohio. Most of all, relax and enjoy.
