3 nights at Grins & Pickin's CampFarm

Christy’s land was perfect four our family with two young kids for a fun Fourth of July weekend. We had privacy right by the creek and set up hammocks in the woods. She had activities set up with prizes that my kids went crazy over. We enjoyed fishing and thought the bullfrog pond was so cool. We were checking off Ohio animals and creatures and we saw so many right on her land and is a pollinators dream! Her land is close enough to Alum Creek if you want a water day which we did and fully enjoyed! Forever grateful for Christy’s hospitality!

2 nights at Driftwood Acres

Very nice and helpful people. Place is beautiful and fishing was great! caught two catfish 5 bass some blue gill over 2 nights. Definitely recommend!!

Weekend Trip to The McIntosh Pines

I didn’t know what to expect as this was our first time using Hipcamp, but we were not disappointed! The site is super private, on a ledge overlooking the creek (which was very shallow and still during our stay). On wetter weeks the site may be a tricky to get to, but we didn’t have any issues in our normal 2WD SUV. We wanted a weekend with little to no human interaction and that’s what we got : ) Would definitely come back.

1 night at Driftwood Acres

It was nice open and breezy. Heather and her husband were very helpful with me backing in to my spot. They are very accommodating and nice. I would definitely stay here again if it’s on my way to any of my future destinations.

Weekend Trip to The Turkey Hollow Campground

Great cabins. I would suggest renting both and maybe the Kermit’s bottom campground outside for a memorable large gathering. Sweet location. Never found the shower though. I’m sure it’s there somewhere within the trees, but it was invisible to us.

Weekend Trip to The Turkey Hollow Campground

Beautiful camp ground. There’s a pond you can fish in and there’s a 4 person kayak that is a ton of fun. The two small cabins we stayed in were perfect. The experience was well worth it. I’d recommend getting thee two cabins along with the meadow at the bottom of the hill (Kermit’s bottom) for large get-togethers. The only negative thing was that we couldn’t find the shower and didn’t have anybody that we could ask where it was. Great time if you’re looking for a secluded camping stay.

Weekend Trip to Grins & Pickin's CampFarm

An absolute gem of a place. A warm & friendly welcome from Christy who lets you know from the getgo what the land has to offer. So nice, that you almost want to keep it a secret.

Weekend Trip to The Lake at the Flying J Farm

It was wonderful experience. Host prof. Richard shared all his academic and agricultural insights. Highly recommended place.

Weekend Trip to Bluebird Hollow

Was a very nice place to camp! Very well shaded and the creek is beautiful!

Weekend Trip to The Lake at the Flying J Farm

My friends and I came here for my birthday weekend and had the most amazing and beautiful time! We stayed at site #5 and it was perfectly shaded with a great water view. Plenty of space for tents and cars if dry. Richard was an amazing host! Please ask about his ranger talks and to be shown around his property. Be cautious of poison ivy and ticks.

Weekend Trip to The Lake at the Flying J Farm

We loved site 9 on Richard’s farm. The site was comfortable, quiet, and beautiful! Full of trees!! Site 7 & 8 are visible, but not too close. Richard hosted a wonderful ranger talk and gave a tour of his food forest, allowing us to pick fresh blueberries and raspberries! A lovely site & lovely host the perfect distance for a weekend away from Columbus. We will definitely be back!!

Weekend Trip to Ashcraft Hills

The place is 10/10, great views and environment. The host, pj is a very kind person and is at the service all the time, very recommended for stay and disconnect with your family or your couple

Weekend Trip to Camp Hiyo

We loved our site at 26 for tent camping! It was close to the shower/bathroom house which was very nice and clean. The staff was super friendly and helpful throughout our stay going the extra mile. They have a small store if you forget anything. My husband and I enjoyed the pool with reasonable hours of 9AM-Dusk! It was a little over a 40 min drive to the Cuyahoga National Park which is where we went for most of the day. If you have places to see nearby or just want to camp for the weekend I recommend this place! They give you a detailed list of items they are doing that week/weekend. Definitely a family oriented camp site. I hope we can visit again!!

Weekend Trip to Away From The World Farm

We wanted to camp where there were few people, no RVs and peace and quiet. That is exactly what we got!! The camp sites were not on top of each other and in the woods. The hosts were super friendly and accommodating as one of our campers accidentally pressed buttons on her phone (she was unaware) which called 911 and brought the sheriff’s department out to the property at 4:30 in the morning. We all had a good laugh! Definitely recommend!!!

Weekend Trip to Ashcraft Hills

We had a great time fishing and walking up the trail on the hill! The site was exactly as described and a great weekend getaway!

Weekend Trip to Broken Oak Campsite

Fantastic! This is a very nice site. But the hospitality of the hosts and getting to interact with the animals made our experience better than we imagined! Highlights of our trip include being invited to bottle-feed a baby goat, fun and very successful fishing in the pond, and making friends with the 5 barn cats. (The pond is across the street behind the barn. But the hosts happily allowed us to fish and explore.) There is quite bit of poison ivy off the mowed pathways. But the camp description warns to stay on the paths, and we were able to do that with four active kids in 1st-7th grades. The peacocks are also beautiful and fun to see, but they can be noisy at night, so if that would bother you, it's something to consider. We will definitely be back! I think camping here is going to be a core memory for our kids! THANK YOU!

Weekend Trip to Shady Owl Ranch

This was a great place to stay for the weekend! It’s was so peaceful and relaxing, definitely recommend checking out their trails on the property but wear bug spray! We did go to quite a few of the restaurant recommendations and they were delicious! I would say before you buy groceries check out the cookware they have and just be mindful that there is really only the fire pit to cook food. Me and my boyfriend got a lot is use out of the pond for fishing, which was very nice for spending time together. Overall great property and place to stay- it was beautiful!

Weekend Trip to McKee Farm - Treehouses and Camping

We had a wonderful stay at the Oxley! The A-frame and outhouse was as clean as a whistle, and the view from the deck was absolutely beautiful! There was quite a bit of noise coming from another campsite, and lots of ATV noise going up and down the road into the evening, but it was no fault of the host and it did quiet down after a while. The hosts are very responsive and we were grateful that they allowed us to stay on their farm. 100% will stay again!

Weekend Trip to McKee Farm - Treehouses and Camping

What a magical place! This is the treehouse fort you may have dreamed of as a kid. We had a wonderful time and hope to come back soon.

Weekend Trip to The Brink L & L's Outdoor Haven

Definitely a scenic spot on the Mohican River. Very secluded. The swing set was a nice touch for kids and the porta potty was clean. Would recommend.

Grins & Pickin's CampFarm

47 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents20 acres · Marengo, OH

Grins & Pickin's CampFarm was created to share the outdoors with others. Growing food & flowers, camping & hiking is what we like to do. And we like sharing these activities. Our family oriented outdoor recreation facility offers primitive camping, PYO produce during the growing season, homesteading activities & nature-based programs. The peaceful 20-acre country farm has food gardens, a frog habitat pool, a barnyard for the chickens & ducks, a bluegill fishin' pond, a pollinator maze, a prairie garden, and an outdoor stage. After crossing a winding creek into 10 acres of woods, you may see deer, turkey, fox, coyote, mink, eagles & barred owls. In early spring, the peepers are peeping, wildflowers are abundant & the vernal pools welcome the wood frogs, salamanders and fairy shrimp. Summer brings on the bullfrogs, butterflies, dragonflies and fireflies. Fall is a great time to pull grapevine to make wreaths & to build stick forts in the woods. We cater to the tent camper so that we can hear frogs & owls instead of generators. But, there is an RV section up front for those with quiet generators with several feet of gravel under the grass to hold the weight of your camper. We charge by the carload & there are different rates for driving back toward the woods for camping depending on the number of wheels & the weight of your vehicle (a factor on the wear & tear on the land). We believe in going outside to play, growing & eating fresh food, strengthening family bonds and promoting the awareness of our natural resources. PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: 1) The speed limit is 5 mph as soon as you enter the property (kids & dogs are quick to dart in front of you). 2) As a state registered campground, it is mandatory that you check in at the house to fill out a Registration Form before heading to your campsite. 3) No glass allowed anywhere on the property (we don't want our feet or paws cut open and can do without flat tires). 4) Children under 18 must be attended to at all times for their safety (the frog pool is 10' deep, the pond is 8-10' deep depending on rains, and the creek can turn into a churning river). Thank you!

Edge of the Ledge Camp

7 sites · RVs, Tents19 acres · Warsaw, OH

Edge of the Ledge Camp is a 4 site primitive campground on he ground is located in a mature oak hardwood forest that offers bright light under a full forest canopy. In our many camping adventures over the years our favorite campgrounds were in our National Forests. We have built the campground with that "feel" of a forest experience. We provide a drinking water station, 2 clean sit arewidely spaced and offer considerable privacy. There is great scenic motor touring from Spring Mountain, the highest point in the county, across the Mohawk Dam, to riverside drives, scenic backroads and a ride across a covered bridge! Walk the forested blue loop nature trail on an adjoining 13 acres that loops through BIG trees and large rocks of glacial till under the shade of an ancient chestnut oak tree. The trail begins across the road opposite the campground driveway. Ticks, mosquitos and deer flies can be bad at times. Protect yourself! See us on Facebook at Edge of the Ledge Camp. The 7 Principals of Leave No Trace *Plan Ahead and Prepare *Know the regulations and special concerns for the area you'll visit. *Prepare for extreme weather, hazards, and emergencies. *Schedule your trip to avoid times of high use. *Visit in small groups when possible. Consider splitting larger groups into smaller groups. *Repackage food to minimize waste. *Use a map and compass or GPS to eliminate the use of marking paint, rock cairns or flagging. (this is a challenging one for us...any suggestions?) *Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces Durable surfaces include maintained trails and designated campsites, rock, gravel, sand, dry grasses or snow. *Protect riparian areas by camping at least 200 feet from lakes and streams. *Good campsites are found, not made. Altering a site is not necessary. In popular areas: *Concentrate use on existing trails and campsites. *Walk single file in the middle of the trail, even when wet or muddy. *Keep campsites small. Focus activity in areas where vegetation is absent. In pristine areas: Disperse use to prevent the creation of campsites and trails. Avoid places where impacts are just beginning. Dispose of Waste Properly Pack it in, pack it out. Inspect your campsite, food preparation areas, and rest areas for trash or spilled foods. Pack out all trash, leftover food and litter. Utilize toilet facilities whenever possible. Otherwise, deposit solid human waste in catholes dug 6 to 8 inches deep, at least 200 feet from water, camp and trails. Cover and disguise the cathole when finished. Pack out toilet paper and hygiene products. To wash yourself or your dishes, carry water 200 feet away from streams or lakes and use small amounts of biodegradable soap. Scatter strained dishwater. Leave What You Find Preserve the past: examine, photograph, but do not touch cultural or historic structures and artifacts. Leave rocks, plants and other natural objects as you find them. Avoid introducing or transporting non-native species. Do not build structures, furniture, or dig trenches. Minimize Campfire Impacts Campfires can cause lasting impacts to the environment. Use a lightweight stove for cooking and enjoy a candle lantern for light. Where fires are permitted, use established fire rings, fire pans, or mound fires. Keep fires small. Only use down and dead wood from the ground that can be broken by hand. Burn all wood and coals to ash, put out campfires completely, then scatter cool ashes. Respect Wildlife Observe wildlife from a distance. Do not follow or approach them. Never feed animals. Feeding wildlife damages their health, alters natural behaviors, [habituates them to humans], and exposes them to predators and other dangers. Protect wildlife and your food by storing rations and trash securely. Control pets at all times, or leave them at home. Avoid wildlife during sensitive times: mating, nesting, raising young, or winter. Be Considerate of Other Visitors Respect other visitors and protect the quality of their experience. Be courteous. Yield to other users on the trail. Step to the downhill side of the trail when encountering pack stock. Take breaks and camp away from trails and other visitors. Let nature's sounds prevail. Avoid loud voices and noises. These principles were established by the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics, and built on work by the US Forest Service, National Park Service, and Bureau of Land Management in the mid 1980s. This relationship continues today. The principles are based on and informed by scientific research in the fields of recreation ecology and human dimensions of natural resources. Take a look at the science behind the principles on the Leave No Trace website. Thank you for doing your part to protect our natural world.

We've got plenty of paths going around the property if you'd like to walk around in a somewhat dense forest. Sometimes a blacksmith is working you may catch a show but there's metal, stone, and wood art to buy all the time. The spots you'll most likely be camping are well-maintained riverside spots or if you're up for a hike there are caves where you can camp in somewhat untouched wilderness besides some logging trails and old campsites from others.

Shady Owl Ranch

4 sites · Lodging18 acres · Mount Vernon, OH

Shady Owl Ranch is a 18 acre non-profit animal sanctuary with dogs, cats, chickens, ducks and turkeys. The cats and poultry are free range so if you are fearful of chickens, ducks or turkeys, you probably shouldn't stay here. 😁 Owners Chuck and Amanda moved from Northern California and re-established their rescue here in Central Ohio. We have two finished studio cabins. They are very close (2 miles) to the town of Mount Vernon, OH with hiking trails on the property. Pets are allowed but there are free range animals on the property so their safety is priority. We have added a 2 acre fenced in area for dogs off leash. It's our version of a Dog Park. Plenty of bike trails around town and only 20 miles to Mohican State Park. Farm fresh eggs from our rescued chickens and local honey are available for purchase. Money from our vacation rental helps with feeding our rescue animals and expanding our non-profit animal sanctuary.

Edge of the Ledge Camp

7 sites · RVs, Tents19 acres · Warsaw, OH

Edge of the Ledge Camp is a 4 site primitive campground on he ground is located in a mature oak hardwood forest that offers bright light under a full forest canopy. In our many camping adventures over the years our favorite campgrounds were in our National Forests. We have built the campground with that "feel" of a forest experience. We provide a drinking water station, 2 clean sit arewidely spaced and offer considerable privacy. There is great scenic motor touring from Spring Mountain, the highest point in the county, across the Mohawk Dam, to riverside drives, scenic backroads and a ride across a covered bridge! Walk the forested blue loop nature trail on an adjoining 13 acres that loops through BIG trees and large rocks of glacial till under the shade of an ancient chestnut oak tree. The trail begins across the road opposite the campground driveway. Ticks, mosquitos and deer flies can be bad at times. Protect yourself! See us on Facebook at Edge of the Ledge Camp. The 7 Principals of Leave No Trace *Plan Ahead and Prepare *Know the regulations and special concerns for the area you'll visit. *Prepare for extreme weather, hazards, and emergencies. *Schedule your trip to avoid times of high use. *Visit in small groups when possible. Consider splitting larger groups into smaller groups. *Repackage food to minimize waste. *Use a map and compass or GPS to eliminate the use of marking paint, rock cairns or flagging. (this is a challenging one for us...any suggestions?) *Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces Durable surfaces include maintained trails and designated campsites, rock, gravel, sand, dry grasses or snow. *Protect riparian areas by camping at least 200 feet from lakes and streams. *Good campsites are found, not made. Altering a site is not necessary. In popular areas: *Concentrate use on existing trails and campsites. *Walk single file in the middle of the trail, even when wet or muddy. *Keep campsites small. Focus activity in areas where vegetation is absent. In pristine areas: Disperse use to prevent the creation of campsites and trails. Avoid places where impacts are just beginning. Dispose of Waste Properly Pack it in, pack it out. Inspect your campsite, food preparation areas, and rest areas for trash or spilled foods. Pack out all trash, leftover food and litter. Utilize toilet facilities whenever possible. Otherwise, deposit solid human waste in catholes dug 6 to 8 inches deep, at least 200 feet from water, camp and trails. Cover and disguise the cathole when finished. Pack out toilet paper and hygiene products. To wash yourself or your dishes, carry water 200 feet away from streams or lakes and use small amounts of biodegradable soap. Scatter strained dishwater. Leave What You Find Preserve the past: examine, photograph, but do not touch cultural or historic structures and artifacts. Leave rocks, plants and other natural objects as you find them. Avoid introducing or transporting non-native species. Do not build structures, furniture, or dig trenches. Minimize Campfire Impacts Campfires can cause lasting impacts to the environment. Use a lightweight stove for cooking and enjoy a candle lantern for light. Where fires are permitted, use established fire rings, fire pans, or mound fires. Keep fires small. Only use down and dead wood from the ground that can be broken by hand. Burn all wood and coals to ash, put out campfires completely, then scatter cool ashes. Respect Wildlife Observe wildlife from a distance. Do not follow or approach them. Never feed animals. Feeding wildlife damages their health, alters natural behaviors, [habituates them to humans], and exposes them to predators and other dangers. Protect wildlife and your food by storing rations and trash securely. Control pets at all times, or leave them at home. Avoid wildlife during sensitive times: mating, nesting, raising young, or winter. Be Considerate of Other Visitors Respect other visitors and protect the quality of their experience. Be courteous. Yield to other users on the trail. Step to the downhill side of the trail when encountering pack stock. Take breaks and camp away from trails and other visitors. Let nature's sounds prevail. Avoid loud voices and noises. These principles were established by the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics, and built on work by the US Forest Service, National Park Service, and Bureau of Land Management in the mid 1980s. This relationship continues today. The principles are based on and informed by scientific research in the fields of recreation ecology and human dimensions of natural resources. Take a look at the science behind the principles on the Leave No Trace website. Thank you for doing your part to protect our natural world.

9 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents250 acres · Johnstown, OH

The Flying J Farm is 250 beautiful rolling acres including 100 acres of forest, 6-acre lake small pond, three streams, and numerous fields for crops and pastures with cows. The owner bought the farm in 1998 for his retirement from a faculty position at the Ohio State university. Two buildings, the farm house and old barn, are original dating back to 1831. These have been restored for current use. The mission of the farm is to restore health both in people though the products produced and in the land by farming in a sustainable way with no conventional chemicals, antibiotics, and use of GMO. We host many visitors including tours and events. An on farm market is available to visitors for purchase of our products including grass-fed beef, maple syrup, and fruits and vegetables. The cabin was built using wood from the farm. It has off-grid electricity meaning it is powered by batteries charged by solar panels. There is not sufficient power for devices with a heating element such as coffee makers and hair dryers. You may charge cell phones. For any other use, please check with the owner. Wild Life. There is an abundance of wildlife to be observed on the farm. Deer can be seen at dusk, raccoons can be seen going through your camp food at night (if you put it in your car), turkeys, hawks, vultures, rabbits, coyotes (heard screaming at night), frogs (especially heard at night), fish (jumping), and many song birds (my favorite, the bobolink, May and June only, nesting in the pastures). Trash. This sustainable farm has no garbage hauling, please carry away your trash.
