We had a quick stop over at James farm on a road trip West and it was everything we needed. He responded quickly and even got us some fire wood last minute. We didn’t get to meet as we arrived late and left early but it was a beautiful place. The bathroom in the barn a great plus!

Stayed at Jim and his wife’s place many times. We have always enjoyed the property, hospitality, some great fishing and the beautiful views. I would agree with their go camp award of “Best in Ohio 2025!

This is my go to spot. I come to this beautiful property a couple of times a year. James and his wife are so sweet and helpful. They maintain everything really well.
Beware the wood site is full of ticks! We were pulling them off of our dogs constantly. But the site is very private and a perfect getaway.

Jim greeted us as soon as we pulled in and was absolutely lovely. His property is clearly very cared for and built with a lot of love. His pond is perfect for relaxing and our pup had an amazing time. There's a Walmart about 8 minutes away, which was great considering I forgot about 10 items haha.
We will definitely come back and camp again!

Kayaking, canoeing, hiking trails, you can swim & there is a creek that runs through.
We LOVE this Place!!!

This is a beautiful property with everything you could want for a relaxing camping trip. I was greeted warmly and my campsite was clean and ready to go.
Restrooms are available in a gorgeous barn near the house. There are hiking trails, fishing, swimming, and loads of birds to watch if that’s your thing. Even an eagle made an appearance!
My dog and I had the best time and will definitely be back!

We enjoyed the large campsite and the peaceful environment at the Pleasant Valley Farm. We appreciated the availability of flush toilets and potable water in the barn, as well as having firewood for purchase. It was a good experience and we plan on returning again! Jim and his wife are friendly, welcoming, and helpful hosts!

Beautiful property and lovely hosts. The kids loved swimming and fishing in the lake. We will be back, but probably stay on a different site, as site 7 didn’t have any shade.

Awesome spot for fishing, leisurely paddling, and car camping. Clean, water was great, firewood was well seasoned and appropriately priced, outhouse was accessible and not terrifying (I only rate outhouses as terrifying or not). Will be coming back very soon.

There is nothing not to love about #5 Woodside at Pleasant Valley Farm! Jim was there to greet us, even though we arrived near dark. Firewood was offered, directions to the site were given, and the signage was clear but unobtrusive. Once at #5 Woodside, we gazed upon a small meadow ringed in trees, featuring natural beauty and seclusion, along with a picnic table, a stone fire ring, and a perfect spot for our pop-up. The Saturday walkabout revealed old farm buildings, a lovely, large pond, and walking paths deep into the trees. It was a near-perfect day cooled by an evening shower. I hesitate to let all you Hipcampers know how nice this place is for fear that I will not be able to get it again. If you are in the Mansfield, Lucas, Lexington, Ohio area looking for a peaceful camp away from the state park, this is it.

Another great weekend at the farm, we love it. We even had a baby deer visiting our site at sunset. Bring wood as doing a fire place at night under the stars is very nice.

We camped in site #6 with small 16 foot camper. It was such a great place. The spot is big enough to turn camper around. There was a fire ring made from rocks and picnic table. Fishing was great. Caught lots of bass and some bluegills. We even used their canoe for free. We kept it at our site all weekend. This is such a great place to camp. Also there wasn't any other campsites up by pond so you had area to yourself. We will definitely go back and recommend camping their. All sites are nice.
