The Land of Milk And Honey

Welcome to our serene campsite nestled beside the picturesque Wolf Creek! Set amidst a wooded backdrop and a hay field, our one and only campsite offers a peaceful retreat for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Please stop at the 2-story brick farmhouse before you head to the campsite.

As you arrive, you'll be greeted by the tranquil sounds of the creek and the lush greenery of the surrounding woods. Our campsite offers pastures and some wooded trails to walk through while on farm, inviting you to explore the beauty of the countryside at your own pace.

For your comfort and convenience, we provide amenities such as an outdoor shower*, fire pit, picnic table, and outhouse with a sink. Whether you're roasting marshmallows around the fire or enjoying a picnic by the creek, our campsite offers the perfect setting for relaxation and rejuvenation. We assure you that the tranquil setting and natural beauty of our farm make it well worth the visit.

Our small hobby farm adds to the charm of your stay, with Highlander cows, potbellied pigs, roosters, hens, turkeys, peacocks, and a garden to explore. Feel free to bring along your furry friends, as long as they are friendly with our animals.

Located across from Sycamore State Park, our campsite provides close proximity to hiking trails and fishing ponds, allowing you to further immerse yourself in nature's wonders. Downtown Dayton is less than a 30-minute drive away so you'll have the best of both worlds – the tranquility of the countryside and the excitement of the city.

It is solar-powered so the water temperature is weather dependent. It is not available year round due to the Ohio climate.

We have 2 dogs who walk with us on leash and recently added chickens and goats! Elmer and Clyde do like to wander and explore. They are very friendly. 

Learn more about this land:
Gravel driveway leads up to both spots. We do try to keep it maintained, but frequently rain causes ruts faster than we can fill. It should not impede drivability, but use caution and feel free to ask if you have any concerns. #1 improvement planned is paving driveway.  You may also experience some vehicle noise from roadway. Typically, as we are on a back road, it is fairly quiet but some drivers may be louder than others and some evenings see more traffic.

Level gravel area for RV parking, second plateau available for multiple tent sites. Campfires in designated area. 

Deer, wild turkeys, opossums and raccoons are plentiful and often wander through. Less common are foxes and bald eagles that make their home at Doe Run Lake nearby.

Main home on property but only close enough for assistance, not interference. 

Homesteading in progress with many improvements being added. 

Property is close to Creation Museum and the Ark. 10 minutes from restaurants and expressway but feels like a retreat.

Wi-fi, trash, private area for camp toilet, fire ring, water, camp stove (available in extras). Optional tent and chair rentals.

Looking back at driveway from barn. Trash receptacle to the right

Carriage House Farm

We are an Ohio Century Farm located in historic North Bend, Ohio.

Our campsites are located within a easy 5 minute walk of our on-farm distillery, winery, market, and food truck.

Part of our 300 acre property is part of the conservation easement that makes up the "Oxbow," a migratory bird and waterfowl area that is popular among birdwatchers in the spring and autumn seasons.  We have a large eagle population along with a host of other raptors.

Basic site includes, cooking grill, picnic table, and fire pit.

Farm market and distillery barn is far enough away to not be a distraction to enjoying the outdoors but close enough to walk to.

Camping Along the Old Bison Trail

Peaceful Secluded Campsites are what you want.  Several beautiful settings will be what you get and much much more.

Our campsites lie along the Old Buffalo Trace, the name given by early pioneers to the massive trail left by centuries of migrating bison that traveled right through this property.

Making their way between salt and mineral licks along the Ohio and Kentucky Rivers, these herds were part of the plentiful wild game which was the reason so many local native tribes referred to old "Cain-tuk-ee" as their "Happy Hunting Ground".

Our 7 campsites are constructed on "The Old Coates Homestead" where we make our home in the original 1858 Homestead house which we recently restored and where we make our delicious  gourmet foods.  (learn more here: www.steepleviewfarmstore.com)

We have sites to fit everyone's needs.  Five sites are accessible by vehicle.  Two are "walk in" only.  

The vehicle accessible sites range from sites for one tent, pop up or van campers, to our featured site "Thistledown Gathering Place" which a large group size setting great for scouting trips, church groups, multi-family camping and parties of up to 16 people.

Each site has a fire ring, fire wood is available for purchase,  we offer clean and well maintained portable toilets, municipal drinking water, hiking trails, and lots and lots of wildlife to help you commune with the absolute beauty of this peaceful farm named Steepleview Farm (learn more here: www.steepleviewfarm.com).

But camping isn't the only reason to choose Steepleview Farm.  It becomes base camp for so many people looking to take in the amazing itinerary of activities so close by.  Here are just a few:

The Ark Encounter

The Creation Museum

Historic Old Frankfort (state capitol) with historic home and capitol tours

Historic Madison Indiana, a river captains town of magnificent homes and a quaint little town for strolling, or the Madison Regatta or the BBQ festival

Big Bone Lick State Park, massive prehistoric dinosaur dig

Buffalo Trace Distillery

Neeley Family Distillery

Belterra Casino

Clifty Falls State Park

Old Frankfort Cemetery, burial site of Daniel and Rebecca Boone

and so much more....

And don't forget, the history of this place makes your stay that much more than just a night in a campground.  You will be sleeping among the spirits of history, the native Americans who hunted this land, the earliest pioneers who mapped it for the expansion west, the early 1800's homesteaders who cleared and worked the land with teams of horses, the centuries of tobacco farmers who shipped their goods to market on the many rivers and streams that surround you.

We work very hard to make this THE best camping destination you will find anywhere.  And, upcoming.........Pioneer Log Cabins.  We have recently acquired a collection of log cabins for a true to life, historic reenactment staycation.  

We are fortunate that one of the cabins was the frontier church known as "Shilo Baptist Church" from 1830-1840.  The pastor of this church baptized Abraham Lincoln's father and is credited with having changed his attitudes toward ending slavery.

Our hiking trails and nature trails bring you lots of knowledge, peace, shade, cool breezes and you can bring your horse (no motorized recreational vehicles) oh and lots of wildlife viewing.

Here are a few of our featured campsites:

 

REDBUD MEADOW: Our first campsite used by hundreds of people over the years.

 A secluded lawn in the midst of redbud trees, easy to drive to and from with a pile of firewood and a metal fire ring.

 The premier site on our property.

 

THE BAPTISMAL POND: As history goes the pond in front of this site was used in the 1800's for baptisms for the church visible from everywhere on the farm, thus our name.

This is a tent site, easy to drive into and out of, fires permitted in season.

THISTLEDOWN GATHERING PLACE: This is a very large meadow, surrounded by trees with the capacity for large groups, many tents and gatherings of lots of people.

Very level, easy in and out with vehicles. Fires permitted in season.

TOTEM TREES: This site is WALK IN ONLY.

 A short hike down the hill from the grass parking area and you have a small spot for a tent, in the woods, surrounded by trees and a lot of standing dead ash which appear as if you are in the presence of totem poles.

Ohio River Town Experience

I have two properties which offer two different kinds of camping, which I have tried to itemize separately in the Hipcamp listings. The pictures were hard to sort out.RV's and Campers will park on the upper level at the Panama Street address which has water and electricity.  You cannot actually see the Ohio River from the parking lot, but it is a short walk. Any pictures of water were taken from the tent camping site. If you are in a large vehicle, but are looking to spend a lot of time by the river,, you can hope that the site is available for use, which usually it is, (somehow I rarely book both places at once), or you can book both sites.

Tent campers set up their tents right beside the river. There is a very simple house with a bathroom, cold running water, electricity, and also provides shelter in bad weather. It's an unusual set up, as perhaps Hipcamper spots often are. On one hand I feel like I am in the middle of nowhere when I am on these  (small, very not fancy) properties by the river.  On the other, there are planes, trains, barges and pleasure boats, and motorcycles passing by at times. 

California is just a few minutes off I-275 from the Kellogg exit, and a 15 minute drive from Cincinnati. It is the eastern-most neighborhood with a quaint village feel. Safe, flat, scenic and walkable, California offers several dining experiences, one a brewery, and quite a variety of recreational experiences. Riverbed Music Center, in season, is a mile away, walking distance, as is Belterra, the race track/casino. The bike trail is a few blocks away and connects to all the other area bike trails including the Loveland Bike Trail along the "Wild and Scenic" Little Miami River. A local nature preserve, California Woods, offers hiking and nature programs, and there is even the California Golf Course. A park with large, grassy open spaces and small playground is a few blocks away.  Bring your game of horse shoes, corn hole, a frisbee to throw,  your skateboard,  golf cart, or some bikes just to cruise around and take in the scenery.  The Little Miami River flows past Armleder Park a few miles away, which has a gravel river beach, a dog park, walking and biking trails and connects to the 5 mile loop around Lunken Airport. There is a lot to do in Cincinnati.
