1 night at Blue Water Lake

I had no problem finding the entrance to the property. I pulled in and contacted Amanda as was asked for in the sites posting for the reservation. I waited and didn't get a reply after about 25 minutes or so I explored and I found my site. It was numbered and found it quite easily on the edge of the large pond which I found out later was once a dolomite quarry. Setup and while I was doing so Amadas parents pulled up and greeted me. View was great of the water and site was level with a large area to turn around my for vehicle and trailer to leave the next morning. No electric or potable water which I knew beforehand but the porta potti was appreciated. Would definitely use Amandas property again.

Owners were great- he met us with his golf cart and made setting up our camp site super easy. The site itself was secluded and primative- exactly what we were looking for. Shower/bathroom was clean and very handy. Also, this site is close to the lake which was ideal for fishing. The pond on-site was also great to fish in. Had more success there than at the lake! Would recommend! Only thing to note- we brought our hammock and at this particular site we had to set it up on the entrance path as there wasn't a ton of great trees to use at this particular campsite at Fairhaven.

Tent camping at Melissa’s was quiet and peaceful. There was a large metal fire ring perfect to enjoy an evening and morning fire. Large picnic table to sit around and a great surrounding area. Convenient indoor bathroom and shower for campers. Close to Yellow Springs.

First time camper here and this was the perfect spot! We were the only people there so it worked out nicely in our favor and was a quiet, relaxing trip. We wanted to choose a spot that wasn’t an actual campground and close to the ren faire to get there quickly on Sunday. We spent most of the afternoon fishing (you will definitely catch something) and the entire property is very thought out and intentional with activities. I was looking forward to a little hiking as walking trails are listed but they're just paths from site to site, so I wouldn’t anticipate that but there’s plenty else to do. The bathroom was very nice and they have a small shop for some items you may have forgotten: snacks, propane, rope, ice, wood. This may be an annual trip for us! 🙂

Directions were very clear and someone was there to meet us to help get our gear to the site. Despite not being able to park at the site, the assistance with gear and closeness to the parking made it easy to load in and out. Bathroom facilities are great and the grounds were very private and peaceful. Just note that the ground is quite hard right now, so we had to get creative with staking our tent with weights. Otherwise, site was level, well maintained and had the basics that we needed!

Super cute spot that is well equipped for campers. The sites are a bit close but very well covered. The walk to the bathrooms isn’t horrible (laundry, toilet, shower) and the host helps load your stuff in a golf cart to the spot. Very great stay, a cute little shop they have setup of homemade stuff and snacks.

This was such a peaceful camping experience! Very thoughtful accommodations - the campsite was level and secluded from other campers while not being too far from the bathroom. The pond was set up with boats and life vests and fishing gear for recreation - our kids had a blast! And our hosts were extremely prompt in communicating and wonderful to talk to. Will definitely be staying here again!

I was impressed with how clean and well-maintained our campsite was! The property was fun to explore and had a lot for our young family to do. The bathroom was also clean. The property owner was so friendly and helpful in helping us get our stuff from our car to our site! We purchased homemade canned goods and they are delicious! There were also s’mores kits and other camping supplies available for purchase. We would love to stay here again sometime!

We had a great time. The hosts are super sweet and helpful and have lots of things in case you forgot something. The lake is a lot of fun but be aware the diving board and water slide are not open for use. We would stay there again.

My daughters and I just had the most relaxing experience at Fairhaven. We stayed at the Omicron Ceti III campsite. It was small but plenty of space for the 3 of us and closest to the bathroom. We enjoyed swimming in the cleanest pond I’ve ever swam in. And the girls enjoyed th kayaks and fishing. The covered deck was so relaxing and looked over the beautiful pond. The bathroom was incredibly clean and exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this to anyone spending the day in YellowSprings. It was just a 25 min drive from that area. We will definitely be back.

Our family had a great time. The pond offers plenty to do for grownups and an 8 year old, who caught his first fish there, plus many others! The site is secluded and a short walk to the bathroom and shower. Both were clean and very welcomed! We purchased a Swedish fire log and some eggs and both were worth the price. Highly recommended!
