Weekend Trip to The McIntosh Pines

Absolutely fantastic spot. Lots of trails to explore. Very secluded. Nice view of the creek from the camping spot but far enough away you don't need to worry about mud and bugs.

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!

5 nights at The McIntosh Pines

It was so relaxing and private. We stayed on July 4th and could hear fireworks very close all around, so we walked out onto the open path and couldn't see a single one. Fireflies were everywhere. It was so nice being one with nature and seeing all the deer crossing the stream and the bunnies hopping across the path as we drove in and out 🥰 Will definitely be booking again. Sorry again about the trailer Chad.

Weekend Trip to Kickapoo Kamping

Absolutely loved this site! Extra woodsy and quiet! Was able to see some deer and hear owls! Highly recommend!

2 nights at Grins & Pickin's CampFarm

I'm a repeat customer, and will be back again in Fall. That should tell ya something.

4 nights at GloryField Hospitality Farm

Nice property and friendly hosts! Very accommodating. Wide open spaces and great views. Attractions only a short drive away.

1 night at McKee Farm - Treehouses and Camping

AWESOME is a great way to describe this little piece of Heaven!! Great hosts and the property is absolutely stunning. We will be back soon 🤗

1 night at Geneva Hills

Fish tail is a very nice site. It’s close to the pool, kayaking, restrooms, it’s off by itself, and there’s a waterfall right behind it.

1 night at Geneva Hills

It’s all by itself. Has a water fall next to it. Beautiful site. Thank you

2 nights at Cherokee Valley Bison Ranch Creekside Retreat

This was such a magical experience for our family. The tipi space was greater than expected and it was very comfortable for a family of 4. The surroundings couldn't have been more peaceful. We were immersed in the beauty of nature, where the kids got to experience creek swimming, butterflies, new birds, and a night sky full of fireflies. They had a blast watching the bison and adored the little gifts from the gift shop! We can't wait to come back

1 night at GloryField Hospitality Farm

Family was very accommodating and we enjoyed our stay!

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.

Weekend Trip to Bluebird Hollow

Had a great time at this camp spot! We took our kids and they had a blast playing in the water. It did rain some while we were there so the pavilion was great for our kids to stay under until it stopped. We will be booking this site again!

Weekend Trip to Cherokee Valley Bison Ranch Creekside Retreat

The camp was clean set up well with things that you might need the owners were awesome it was just a wonderful experience spent two nights there with my grandbabies and my son and his wife and my daughter and we had an awesome time the buffalo meat was awesome buffalo burgers we highly recommend

Weekend Trip to Sky Lake Camping & Fishing

Loved the spot. Was a bit hard to find-GPS doesn't tell you that you have to turn right on Opposum Road again to find the entrance. Next issue is recognizing that this is RIGHT NEXT TO a traditional RV campground. Even the host's personal instructions were a bit unclear. If you go left at the second "fork," as directed, you end up in the campground. What they call a first fork I would call a 90 degree right turn. When we came in at 8 pm, the couple who came to greet us in a golf cart asked if we were looking for the campground and we respondeded yes, thinking they meant Hipcamp. Very confusing. Once you get there, it's beautiful.

Weekend Trip to Cherokee Valley Bison Ranch Creekside Retreat

Very neat place! Our kids loved the experience of seeing the bison, playing in the creek and sleeping in a tipi! Carie and Jarrod were so nice and welcoming! 10/10 recommend for a fun experience.

1 night at Little Darby Outdoors

Great shower and rr facilities. Shade near building and from trees away from the main building.

1 night at Little Darby Outdoors

Jay’s place was welcoming and a peaceful piece of land. Great restroom, shower and kitchenette. Jay and Cocoa were very nice company. I would certainly stay again.

2 nights at Little Darby Outdoors

The stay was outstanding! The host met me when I got there and showed me where I needed to park and the rest of the trip was just very relaxing and secluded

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.

Bowman farm

1 site · RV, Tent20 acres · Carbon Hill, OH

This campsite is in the woods just off the driveway to our farm. It is surrounded by beautiful forest and borders a beautiful ravine. There are lots of deer and turkeys in the area. There are a few coyotes around too, but they have not caused any problems for us. It is about 15 minutes from downtown Logan, 30 minutes to the caves, and just down the road from Wayne national forest. There are no amenitys yet. Also it will be a little tight for anything bigger than a sprinter van. Bigger campers can fit, but require some backing.

McKee Farm - Treehouses and Camping

16 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents230 acres · Frazeysburg, OH

McKee Farm is rich in memories and rich in history. It has been in the family for over 150 years and we were told that it was one of stopping points for the underground railroad. The 240 acre farm boasts a hidden cave, wide open fields, breathtaking forest land, and historic and rustic barns. Nestled at the edge of a wooded creek, Tullihas in the Trees treehouse boasts a beautiful sunset view with rolling hills. Tullihas combines comfort with the thrill of being immersed in nature. Built using recycled electric poles, Tullihas in the Trees has a deck perfect for hammocking, an interior dressed with windows so that guests can feel as if they are living amongst the trees, and two small lofts ideal for a restful night's sleep. Oxley in the Woods is our newest treehouse cabin. Nestled in the woods with a view of the sunset, the lovely A Frame is filled with lovely woodwork, vintage parquet flooring, and private wooded views. The deck is huge! We've had guests set up a tent on the deck beside the treehouse for fun! Swings, and a slide make the Oxley a fun adventure. The double bed in the loft and the two stacked single beds are comfortable and cozy. The McKee Farmhouse was built in the 1800s and is rich in memories. It's a rustic old house, with wood trim, hardwood floors, and plenty of imperfections that make it unique. You can sit on the porch and drink your coffee with a view of the barn and pastures, or cozy up in one of the house's four bedrooms and sleep in. The house is fully air conditioned and heated, has all the amenities of home, but takes you back to a simpler time. Our campsites are all set apart from one another in various locations on the 240 acre farm. Secluded and unique, each campsite has its own charm. We provide guests with a fire ring and a shovel, and some sites have a picnic table. Hiking trails are marked throughout the land. Guests can hike with views of horses, cows, wildlife, corn fields, large boulders, and rustic barns. The dirt roads provide great places to drive ATVs and four-wheelers. An Amish farm borders McKee Farm. Guests should know there is minimal cell service, however, this can offer a great opportunity to unplug. Tullihas in the Trees provides a perfect remote and rustic getaway for anyone. In October and November, access to hiking is limited.

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!
