Weekend Trip to The Lake at the Flying J Farm

This was first camping attempt in almost 25 years, and it was a great choice. Nice and quiet, lots of shade, and not too far of a walk from “safe” parking. It had rained a bunch the prior week and the path through the woods was a bit muddy and more than my car could safely handle. If it has been dry, you can drive right up to the site. Toilet was okay (probably excellently by camping standards!), and the hosts were very friendly. Enjoyed my time, and I’ll be back!

1 night at The Lake at the Flying J Farm

What can I say, this is a wonderful piece of land. From the campsites and the amazing views of the pond, to the peace and quiet provided our stay exceeded my expectations. Richard was kind and attentive but Ruby (his loving dog) stole our hearts. Everything was exactly as described in the listing which made navigating a breeze. Trails and campsites were well marked which I really appreciated. I couldn't recomend this place enough!! Can't wait to get back with the whole family.

Weekend Trip to The Lake at the Flying J Farm

Richard has always been very welcoming when camping on his property. It dropped below 30° when I stayed there and he was kind enough to drive around the campsite to make sure we were ok. Staying at Flying J farms will always be a 10/10 in my books.

Flying J Farm is an incredible place. We reserved all 8 of the sites and had a school trip and family camp out. Booking again for the summer and fall- now!

Weekend Trip to Indian Lake Adventures

We had a great time glamping in our adorable Indian Lake tiny house! The grounds are well maintained and lovely, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. On the edge of the property is a brew pub with games, cozy seating indoors and out, fire pits, and sometimes even live music and food trucks, which was a pleasant surprise. House was well equipped with many essentials, too. Would definitely stay again!!

1 night at The Lake at the Flying J Farm

The chapel was the perfect quick getaway. Not having to pack a tent was great and a little weather came in during the early morning but my son never even woke up. Richard came out and introduced himself and made sure we had everything taken care of. There was some good fishing and it was very comfortable. Will definitely be back

Weekend Trip to The Lake at the Flying J Farm

Beautiful, quiet, wooded space close to Columbus. Have stayed there before and will stay there again.

2 nights at The Lake at the Flying J Farm

I loved camping at Flying J. Farm. The owner was really nice and the campsite was beautiful. Inside the cabin, where the shower and water is accessible, there's many interesting pictures and stories to read about. Such as the story about how the cabin was built; which was an enjoyable read! Overall, me, my girlfriend and our friend enjoyed our whole stay there!

Weekend Trip to The Lake at the Flying J Farm

One of the best camp sites we have been to. We did some hot tent camping so we were the only ones on the land, but even in the summer it seems like the sites have plenty of privacy. Nice views of the lake and giant fire pits were awesome. We plan to return in the summer or fall. Thanks Richard

Weekend Trip to The Lake at the Flying J Farm

I've stayed at Flying J now 3 times and at 3 different sites. They have all been great! Highly recommended!

Weekend Trip to The Lake at the Flying J Farm

I love my camping experience at the lake at flying j farm did so hiking fishing the pond it was kind of cold so didn't catch anything but the view on the lake was relaxing...I would recommend the location to all my coworkers

2 nights at The Lake at the Flying J Farm

My stay at flying J Farms on site 3 was perfect. The secluded campsite made me feel like I was a million miles away from everything. I especially loved how well kept and spacious everything was. I'd definitely stay here again.

Weekend Trip to The Lake at the Flying J Farm

This site was super nice and easy to get to by car to unload. This site is further away from the other tent sites and already has a picnic table and fire pit handy. It is in the wooded area which made it feel more peaceful and made it easy to find wood for the fire. Our dog loved being able to run around and hike with us. It is super easy to get lost though, so always make sure you stay within site of the path. With it being fall, the leaves made it difficult to find the path but was absolutely stunning.

The Lake at the Flying J Farm

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

Good news! Open fire ban lifted, camp fires are ok now! 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).

Cherokee Valley Bison Ranch Creekside Retreat

2 sites · Lodging50 acres · Thornville, OH

Our farm has been in the family for over 50 years. My Cherokee Grandmother purchased the farm with the intention of giving each of her children property. We have been raising bison here since 2008. We chose the name Cherokee Valley to honor my heritage and the gift of this farm by my grandmother and mother. We created this tipi experience to share that gift with you! Enjoy a night in our spacious 22 foot tipi. We provide a comfortable queen platform bed for your convenience. You must provide sleeping bags, linens , blankets etc. The tipi can sleep up to 6 people, 2 on the queen bed we provide, with ample room for additional cots or air mattresses that you provide. We have cots available to rent as an add on. . You may also pitch additional tents or hang hammocks in the trees with room for up to 10 people in all. Cherokee Valley Bison Ranch is a working bison farm with bison, honeybees, chickens and peafowl. We are a certified Wildlife Habitat and Monarch Way Station. Enjoy our beautiful hiking trails through the rolling hills of our ranch. We have a plethora of bird species, butterflies and wildflowers to delight nature lovers. After hiking the trails you can splash around in the pristine creek that borders our property (we recommend water shoes). Take in a gorgeous sunset over our farm, enjoy a wood fired dinner cooked over the provided fire pit with grill. The sounds of hoot owls will lull you to sleep and when you wake, enjoy the stained glass glow through the beautiful tipi. We are close to several wineries, breweries and recreational areas (kayaking, canoeing, golfing, biking) as well as Legend Valley concert venue. We are a short drive to Buckeye Lake, Dillion Dam, and Hocking Hills. We have a selection of grass fed bison available in our on-site farm store.
