Stories from the community

2 nights at T&K Schoolhouse Camping

We loved staying at Shawn’s place. The kids had a blast playing on his G Croquet course. It is quiet and very well kept. Having a dumpster right there as you leave is huge. We had a great stay and will definitely be back. You can tell he loves having you and we enjoyed a great night out at the campfire. Definite must stay!!

Weekend Trip to MCK's Pond

Great quiet little spot for a one night stay over on our way to Maine. We have little kids and were looking for somewhere quiet on the 4th and this fit the bill perfectly. The pond was perfect for a swim while our RV cooled down from the drive without AC and made for a lovely view to watch the sunset. We even saw fireworks in the distance. Would definitely stay again.

Weekend Trip to Rusty's Retreat with pond and river

The host is so hospitable! They don’t come any nicer! There are trails to hike, animals to pet, and a creek to enjoy.

Weekend Trip to Rusty's Retreat with pond and river

Slice of heaven! Safe, Quiet, nice walking trails, electric hookup and nice hosts. A relaxing stay with room to roam. The hosts care about the land and people and it is so heartwarming! Thank you Jay for your accommodations! Well wishes to you and your family!

Weekend Trip to Rusty's Retreat with pond and river

Some friends and I took tent sites 1, 2, and 3 along the river with our sons, and it was great! We had a fantastic time, fishing and exploring the river. The hosts were attentive and accommodating. We would definitely go back.

3 nights at Rusty's Retreat with pond and river

We had a great time at Rusty's retreat. The hosts are fantastic people! The land is beautiful and peaceful. Listening to the creek at night is the best. My kids had a great time. Loved the dogs and all the animals. Would definitely recommend and will be visiting again! Thank you for sharing your land!

The property was beautiful and secluded. Our boys had so much fun!

2 nights at Rusty's Retreat with pond and river

We stayed on site 3 with our one year old and our dog for our first camping adventure since our baby was born. It was exactly what we needed—beautiful, peaceful, and also very convenient. Jay and Heather’s hospitality for a campsite was better than most Airbnbs I’ve stayed! If you’re daunted by lugging your camping gear into a spot marked “secluded”—don’t be. They helped us move everything we needed in a golf cart (and we brought a lot because of our baby). I loved birdwatching and listening. My husband loved fishing and walking in the river. Our baby loved to the ponies and Rusty. Our dog loved meeting another dog friend! We cannot wait to come back! Even if site 3 isn’t right for your family or setup, I guarantee you one of the other spots will be!

Fantastic hosts and location! So peaceful and relaxing! Great trails and waterfront property.

1 night at Rusty's Retreat with pond and river

This is a very nice location, and the hosts were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. The camp sites are well thought out and designed as camp sites. This is not just parking in someone's back yard like some locations are. The hosts have put real effort into making a pleasant location. Highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to T&K Schoolhouse Camping

Was well maintained and nice. Lots of nice touches for games and enjoyable time.

4 nights at Resting Roost

We loved camping out here! It was super peaceful and nice. There was only two down falls (weather sucked big time but it gave us more time to spend quality time together, and the grass is really long and unfortunately my mother in law did find a tick in her ear, we would highly recommend trimming it often to prevent any further issues). Otherwise Joshua and Rachael were amazing! They tried to help us with the shower issue we had but due to weather and our hot water tank going it didn’t work out, but we managed! They offered to give us info on local spots etc. overall just an incredible experience. We would definitely camp here again!

Weekend Trip to Rusty's Retreat with pond and river

Beautiful place. Awesome hosts. Helped us set up and hung out with us for a bit.

Weekend Trip to Resting Roost

Our very first night as life time mobile living. It was completely random and I'm not sure how our night would have ended without HipCamp or Joshua's home for us to stay in that night. Living city life all the time, and waking up in their backyard was actually quite beautiful and welcome. We needed to leave a little later, and much unlike city life...they were very ok with us leaving late. I only needed to see them to hook up some electric. It took a few minutes for them to notice we had pulled in, but again...this is their backyard they are letting us stay in for a very nominal fee. It was as advertised and worth anyone's boondocking or traveling needs

Rusty's Retreat with pond and river

13 sites · RVs, Tents10 acres · West Millgrove, OH

We bought this 125+ year old farm in 2010 with the hope of bringing it back to life. Overgrown and neglected, we have worked hard to make it a nice place for hiking, kayaking, fishing or any number of other activities. Peaceful and remote, the property has a beautiful brook that leads you to the South branch of the Portage river. Deer, turkey, geese, herons, mink and fox are just a few of our natural animal friends. Rusty the steer and his pony friends Lexi and Little Bits can be visited while they graze in the pasture. There are chickens and Brindle the barn kitty. We have the perfect place for dogs as well. We have four dogs that get along great with others and our fenced pond keeps them safe.
