Even though we arrived pretty late, Jay was there to greet us and explain the property and amenities. The camping site is private and suited our rooftop tent. There is a nice kitchen area with microwave, hot plate, and some cooking utensils/pots and pans. I would definitely stay there again.

We absolutely enjoyed our visit to Bear Pond. There are several spots that would be great to set up a tent but we decided to use Nola’s Cabin which was a perfect combination of amenities and very comfortable for the two of us. Easy to get to and very private. We loved being the only campers. The cooking area was nice to have and we were able to bring less stuff than we normally do which was great coming from 4 hours away. There’s loads to do in the area and stores close for supplies if needed. We can’t wait to come back and hopefully bring our family next time.

This is a beautiful campground to stay! Nice facilities that included restroom, indoor shower, coffee pot, electric kettle & a mini fridge. We bicycles from the OTET. The road in is busy and a pretty good incline but worth the stay. We decided to Uber to grab dinner to avoid the hill. Jay was very welcoming and we loved getting to play with his dog Coca!

We enjoyed our trip and would recommend Little Darby to others. The building was great for eating dinner, having access to clean bathrooms, being able to wash dishes, and playing games with our son. We stayed at a site near the building and felt we had plenty of space. The space down the hill is beautiful and we enjoyed a short walk one morning. There are nearby metro parks with trails and biking and Columbus isn't far.

Michelle and PJ'¹s land is just as it is described. Except for a little bit of road noise, mostly during the day, the site was quiet definitely secluded and maybe even haunted LOL The stargazing was amazing thankfully we had clear skies :)

Jay’s place was awesome! So close to everything I needed to do in Columbus but felt like the middle of nowhere, in all the good ways (think: crickets, peepers, fireflies, and a big sky full of stars). Jay and his pup and family made me feel welcome, even after arriving much later than I’d planned. Super nice folks. There were other campers on the property for my stay but I never saw or heard them- felt secluded and private. Also- great actual bathroom! Hard to find on HipCamp! Will definitley stay again for future trips to the area.

Everything was great. I stopped here while doing the Ohio to Erie trail with my tent. When I arrived I met Jay's daughter and their cute doggies! I got a nice spot under a tree next to the pond. I felt completely safe leaving my bike just outside my tent without a lock. Would HIGHLY recommend staying at this property!
