Weekend Trip to Camp Yellow Springs

Glamping at its finest! Perfectly set up camp. Joshua has everything there you need and then some. We loved the front porch when we needed a break from the sun or rain! Our dog loved the camp too. We can’t wait to come back and bring friends!

3 nights at Camp Rocky Run

This was my first ever weekend at a Hipcamp spot and it went great. The owners were helpful and the site was perfect! Definitely recommend it!

3 nights at Quiet Creek Valley

We had a great time camping here! Very nice, very private but not too far from town. You can hear the train every now and then but not enough to bother us. We loved swimming and fishing the creek, and we would definitely stay here again!

3 nights at Quiet Creek Valley

I can’t say enough good about the whole experience!! The hosts were awsome people!! So happy they’ve opened their land up to share with others! It was a beautiful experience all the way around! They went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed to make our stay as easy, fun and comfortable as possible in return we added a few amenities to our campsite lol built some steps to get safely down to the creek, which was amazing and a nice fire pit to share We will definitely be going back one of my very favorite places ever. !!

Weekend Trip to Camp Rocky Run

As described, Curtis was very helpful getting us setup and there was a very friendly kitty also🙂 😺

1 night at GloryField Hospitality Farm

Family was very accommodating and we enjoyed our stay!

Weekend Trip to The Land of Milk And Honey

Checking on was a great song the whole farm and getting some delicious, home made cookies! We set up and enjoyed two days of peace and relaxation. The creek was refreshing, the latrine was convenient, and the animals were a real treat! I highly recommend this spot for a quiet getaway!

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 Camp Yellow Springs

Always a wonderful stay at camp yellow springs! Delightfully hidden away yet only minutes from town.

Weekend Trip to Ohio River experience

Great location, we enjoyed our stay and we are returning in August. Polly is a great host

Weekend Trip to Quiet Creek Valley

I loved spending a weekend tent camping at this little piece of heaven only an hour from downtown Cincinnati! There was so much green and wildflowers along the campsites, along with the night sky being so clear due to being away from most light pollution. My dog was happy to be off leash and by the water! Martha took time to show me around when I arrived, along with her husband checking in towards the end of the day. I felt very safe and welcomed! I look forward to another trip soon ☀️ Very helpful and responsive hosts!!

3 nights at GloryField Hospitality Farm

This was a lovely hipcamp. We thoroughly enjoyed our time. Kim, the hostess was extremely nice and accommodating.

Weekend Trip to The Land of Milk And Honey

We had a great weekend camping with our dogs. We didn't get to explore much of the farm (one of our dogs is very reactive) but from what we did see it was beautiful! Very hot weekend but the shady site and creek kept us cool. We loved the seclusion and having the out house was a big bonus! We plan to come back in the fall for cooler temps and the fall foliage

1 night at The Land of Milk And Honey

This place is great! We stayed overnight here with our truck bed camper. The property is idyllic with many interesting animals and amenities. The best part though are the wonderful caretakers who showed us around. Hopefully we can stay here again!

Weekend Trip to Todd’s Fork Adventures

Great location. Real close to town but you feel secluded. Very well-maintained property. Will go back !

Weekend Trip to Camp Yellow Springs

We loved camping on Joshua’s property! The site was clean, well kept, and private. The host was attentive with fast response times and recharged the power box for us. The cabin was nice with fans throughout. Would highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to The Land of Milk And Honey

Great 3 days. I would highly recommend this hip camp. It's even nicer that there's only one camp site.

Weekend Trip to Todd’s Fork Adventures

I have already recommended this site to my son. It was more that we had anticipated. The camp sites were spaced well apart and very spacious. Although it had just rained when we arrived there was plenty of high ground that it didn't cause a problem. The creek was easily accessible and our young grandkids had a blast all day. Fred and his son were very hospitable and suggestive of the various amenities. We will definitely go back there again.

3 nights at Quiet Creek Valley

We had a wonderful time at Martha’s land. She was so kind, and helpful. We will be back for sure!

2 nights at The Land of Milk And Honey

Loved the camping spot beside Wolf creek. Listening to the water ripple across the rocks was so relaxing. Great place for walking up and down the creek exploring and catching small fish. The Hosts are wonderful people and very accommodating. Thank you for sharing your beautiful property!

You must have a self contained RV with on board restroom facilities. We have no restroom facilities available. For this reason, we do not offer tent camping. !! NOTE on camp fire location !! The fire ring provided on the shared creek side patio is the only spot a camp fire, of any kind, can be built. (Sorry, but we have had too many damaged spots in the grass from the use of 'portable' fire ring units.) !! NOTE on Class A RVs with towed vehicle !! If it is too wet to access the creek side spots, we can still accommodate your stay in the nearby barn driveway but if you are unable to back up with the 'toad' then a detach will be required. Again, this is only if it is too wet to access the creek side camp spots. Generally we will be able to help you back in, but at times we may be away and suggest a helper in guiding you into the barn drive. Note, the barn driveway is not a pull through site.
