Stories from the community

4 nights at Towpath Trail Peace Park

I appreciated Joe’s friendliness! It was nice to have a porter potty to use the restroom and a solar powered place to charge cellphones. I like the accessibility to the trail and Joe’s knowledge of the native Americans.

Weekend Trip to Bass and Buck Tent Adventures

This was the 4th trip that my family has taken to Bass and Buck, but the first time at this site. I came with 2 young kids and lots of gear, and it was very convenient having the site so close to parking/ the bathroom. We still felt tucked away and like we had our own private space, so it was a great mix of convenience and adventure. The kids loved hiking in the creek! Another great trip 😊

Weekend Trip to Bending Oak Permaculture Farm

This camp was a wonderful experience. The host was professional and inviting. The site was well prepared and laid out. We didn't stay in the cabins but we peeked inside and found them to be mych better than the cabins we've sen at other camp sites. The facilities were clean. The setting has so much to offer, both for enjoyment but also for those who want go learn cleaner living. This is a must go!

Weekend Trip to Sweet Hill

Very easy and convenient. The sites are very easy to find and access. Directions were clear and the hosts were great at communication. Would definitely stay again if in the area!

3 nights at Earth Song Farm

Our family had a fantastic experience! Steve was a super helpful and kind host. The kid's loved the chickens everywhere and the kid train! We were the only family staying there, so the kids pretty much just ran wild for 3 days and loved every minute of it. Steve is passionate about communal living and child learning through free play! If you are a family wanting to enjoy time together with freedom to play, get messy, and explore, this is the place! We hope to be back soon!

1 night at Sweet Hill

Jason’s land was the perfect place for an overnight pit stop on our roadtrip. It’s a great location and the pond is beautiful. We appreciated the flexible check-in for a late arrival. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Sweet Hill

We enjoyed camping here. It is a beautiful property and the hosts were very friendly and super responsive. It was just as described. It is right next to the street, so there is some traffic noise but it didn’t bother us. We will come back if we’re in the area again.

2 nights at Heritage Lake Farm

Phenomenal!! This was our first trip with our new class B camper van and 3 dogs - host was very responsive and the property is amazing. Would not just recommend but plan on staying again as this is only 45 minutes from home. Thanks Michael!!

Weekend Trip to Sweet Hill

Nice level gravel parking lot next to a pond for catch and release fishing and close enough to the gas station for a quick trip for those forgotten items but far enough away to be secluded.

3 nights at Sweet Hill

This was a great place to spend a couple of nights! It’s close to Cuyahoga Valley National Park, and close to a ton of places to eat! It also has a small fishing pond, but in keeping with my horrible track record as a fisherman, I did not catch anything! I would definitely recommend this little RV spot to anyone!

1 night at Towpath Trail Peace Park

Joe is very friendly host. Great local historian. The property sits close to a road and a railroad but neither bothered me. I see why he offers free ear plugs for light sleepers. His location in relation to the trail can’t be beat.

2 nights at Sweet Hill

Great spot, beautiful pond and very responsive hosts! Would recommend

Weekend Trip to Sweet Hill

Jason’s spot was a wonderful stay! We stayed one night passing through and it was easy to find. It was a quiet, peaceful spot, but still close to town for things we needed to grab the next morning!

1 night at Towpath Trail Peace Park

Awesome spot right off the tow path. Wish I could have stayed to enjoy it but after several delays I ended up getting there after dark and had to leave asap the next morning. Being 105 miles by bike from my start was a big plus for me. Next time I pass through I'll hang around haha.

1 night at Towpath Trail Peace Park

Nice property, right off of the towpath. I did an overnighter on my bike, this place was perfect for that. It's a short ride into town for restaurants. Also Joe was super nice, very knowledgeable about history of the local area and his property specifically.

4 nights at Sweet Hill

Excellent location and beautiful property for boondocking. Close to Cuyahogo National Park, Canton, Akron and all the quaint townships you go through while going to your adventures. The hosts responded to my messages and were helpful and very nice.

1 night at Sweet Hill

Beautiful property. Great place to pull over for the night.

Weekend Trip to Towpath Trail Peace Park

Joe was very friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable about the areas history, which was very interesting to learn about. The campsite was well maintained and thoughtfully laid out. Campsites are extremely close to towpath access (basically next to it) and close by to the river so you do not have to go far for outdoor recreation. Will be back soon!

Weekend Trip to Sweet Hill

Great stay Jason & Marcie’s property! Marcie was helpful getting us settled in. Thanks for a restful night!

Weekend Trip to Sweet Hill

Jason and his wife were great hosts. Notified us prior to arrival to let us know where to park. Lots of flat level space with a beautiful setting of a pond. Very private too. Nice fire pit area although we did not utilize it. Great location with lots to keep you busy. They gave us great recommendations of where to go and grab a bite to eat while we were there. We only stayed one night however, if we were in that area in the future we would not hesitate to stay again!

Bass and Buck Tent Adventures

8 sites · Tents230 acres · OH

With over 230 acres, a lake, trails, the Grand River, plenty of wildlife, and FREE firewood. Bass and Buck Adventures is the perfect place to get away. Once known as Parkman Gorge the valley was a hub for water powered industry in the early 1800's. The river and valley is home to a wide array of wildlife. Deer, turkey, eagles, hawks, owls, mink, river otters to name a few. The area also attracts many song birds including a wide variety of warblers. There is also an abundance of wild flowers. The valley is rich in Native American history. Many artifacts have been found on the property. My great grandfather talked about the last Native American to live in Parkman. He had a cabin on one of the bluffs along the river. In the 1820's there was a water powered sawmill, flaxseed mill, and forge on the river. The boy scouts used the valley for a camp in the 1920,s. My grandpa purchased the property in the 50's from Ohio Edison. Ohio Edison's plan to dam up the river for hydro power never materialized. The valley has been a favorite for outdoor enthusiasts. Camping, hiking, fishing, hunting. Many of the items used for the camp sites have been reclaimed. The fire rings are old tractor rims and scrap steel. The tent platform is from reclaimed deck lumber. The firewood is excess cutoffs purchased from a local sawmill. For more information log onto our website. bassandbuckadventures.com
