Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to Barrel Run Creek

This land is very spacious and open for you to explore as you wish. The site is definitely private and secluded which is the best part. There's plenty of shade and provided firewood which was great. The host was very responsive and generous. It seems like there had been a lot of excavating done recently which made it very muddy and not a lot of grass, other than that and the train I think I'll come back here again

1 night at Camping at Heritage Farms

Beautiful site, very clean 10/10 would recommend. Campsite J was very private, and the instructions were very clear. They also included wheelbarrows to carry gear to the site which was very helpful. Literally 5 minute drive to the National Park which was perfect.

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!

1 night at Camping at Heritage Farms

I loved tent camping on Carol and George’s land! My original spot was a bit far away from my car and it was raining, so they set me up with a new spot super close to the bathrooms and my car which was amazing! The views were great and directions were clear. Would definitely stay here again if I were in the area!

4 nights at Hidden Lakes Family Campground

We loved this campground and it was perfect for us! Hidden gem!! This is campground is not for the faint at heart! A true nature/wildlife and fisherman’s delight for camping to get away from the noise, hustle,bustle technology. Strict rules protects this well maintained and quiet area (read the rules) The small red firelights at night makes it for a true camping experience to appreciate the noises that nature holds. Bring a flashlight there are no bright electrical bright lights anywhere expect the front entrance. The dark sky star gazing tops off this experience by allowing to get up and close with nature. We were able to relax and decompress. Spacious spaces gives privacy from the neighbors. There is tent and group camping so those spaces are closer together. Few sites have sewer. Rest have Water and electricity. (did not take photos of the group sites, just where I was at.) there are options for pull through and it is spacious enough for big rigs and mega rigs. Friendly service from the hosts/owners. It was one of my favorite places to have been. They did have activity planned for the kids. Comfy from being away from Home with amenities to make it a great stay. They have three ponds for fishing and swimming. Close to attractions and 5 lighthouses within an hr and major shopping areas. We loved this country campground and would camp there again !

1 night at Camping at Heritage Farms

I had a great experience camping here! I'd recommend it to anyone; we stayed at Campsite F; it was so amazing and super pretty! We paid for the firewood, and received a generous portion along with some tinder to get the fire going!

Weekend Trip to The Farm at Grand River

Hosts were most gracious. Free access to farm animals, my son especially liked the horse. Weather was wet the week before we went. I did manage to get stuck in the mud. They pulled me out, no problem. Bundles of wood were affordable and plentiful. We plan to go back.

Weekend Trip to BIG "D" Oasis

Great little getaway had a good time very friendly people

Weekend Trip to Bass and Buck Tent Adventures

Loved our stay and would certainly recommend and come back. Our camp spot is as by the creek and very secluded (which is what we like). Besides camping we caught some bass in the pond and explored the walking trails. Appreciated Rick bringing firewood back to our site and helping us out when I drove into some mud upon arrival. Doh! Also- be sure to stop at the nearby Frozen Dee-Lite Cafe for ice cream or other treats! Overall, a great little getaway with everything we expected and more.

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.

Weekend Trip to Barrel Run Creek

We had a great time camping here for the weekend with our dog! If you're not used to train noise, I would maybe recommend bringing along a pair of earplugs, but we also heard tons of birds and other wildlife. The site has a lot of tree coverage and is far enough away from other sites that it's very private and peaceful, total bonus that firewood was provided! Not too far from Cuyahoga Valley National Park for some hiking and waterfalls.

Weekend Trip to Barrel Run Creek

Great secluded site for tent camping! Nick left us with a generous amount of firewood with easy access to more. The porta pot was clean and stocked. We loved the soybean field, especially in the morning sun!

Weekend Trip to Moon House

Great spot to stay while exploring the cuyahoga valley national park. Site felt very private and secluded.

Weekend Trip to Bass and Buck Tent Adventures

Simply peaceful and a lot to explore through out the property!

Weekend Trip to Three Dog Homestead

The campsite on Hannah's property is secluded and set up very nicely. My husband and I spent two nights there and we're very comfortable. I would definitely recommend this spot. It is close to Blossom Music Center. If you are seeing a show, this is a great place to camp!

Weekend Trip to Sawdust FarmCamp

Magical Pond view campsite! We saw geese and goslings, a beaver or otter (water creature. We never got a good look at its tail). A Herron! It was private and peaceful.

Weekend Trip to Sawdust FarmCamp

Another great getaway at Adrienne and Morgan's tent. We brought our Mr. Heater in for the cold nights ...it was nice to sleep again on such a comfy foam mattress, with enough blankets to keep us both warm after shutting off the heater for the rest of the night. Just like last time, we found the area incredibly peaceful, aside from the occasional plane overhead and what sounds like farming equipment in the distance. We could hear the creek/small stream in the ravine more this month than we did in early April last year; it's very soothing. You don't hear or see any person while at the tent, even when people are staying at the cabin. The site feels secluded. The hosts were very responsive and made sure our stay was a comfortable one and that we had everything we needed. The composting toilet is super convenient; note that there is no outdoor shower yet. Be sure to message the hosts for updates on that. The one load of firewood included was enough for our two night stay as there's plenty of sticks and twigs around to use along with it. More than enough drinking water is provided. Cell service is really good, so no worries getting connected when you need to. This trip was during Memorial weekend and temperatures were fairly comfortable during the day with very few bugs. Pretty much all we saw and heard were birds. Enjoy the barred owls going back and forth at night and early in the morning. It's about a 15-minute trip if you need to leave the site to grab food, ice, etc.

1 night at Camping at Heritage Farms

The location and setting are fantastic. We stayed at site #3, which is close to parking. Most of the sites require walking a few hundred feet and we observed people using a wagon to move their tents and belongings between parking and the sites. All the sites are great so just plan accordingly. Check in was super easy and convenient. The town of Penninsula is very close and Blossom Music Center is about 15-minutes away. We’ve been visiting the area on and off for about 20 years, but this was the first time at this Hipcamp. For us, it’s tied for first place in area accommodations with the Stanford House hostel. We will definitely return to Heritage Farms on a future trip.

Weekend Trip to Camping at Heritage Farms

Heritage Farms was great! You will have to carry your equipment back to your site but they provide wagons. The site was beautiful, clean, and quiet. It is great location for driving to several trailheads for CVNP. We were also able to catch an Akron Rubber Ducks game while we were there with minimal driving. Hosts were kind and helpful. We will definitely be back

Weekend Trip to Camping at Heritage Farms

Hands down beautiful property, in the middle of every access to the park! By far one of the best all around Hip Camp sites we have camped at. Site J was perfect, furthest away from entry and other campers (we had two dogs), and the sunrise was direct to the site. Amenities were great, owners were better than great.

Barrel Run Creek

Camping at our farm you will enjoy extremely private wooded sites surrounding our vineyards. The property is cut by Barrel Run Creek and flanked by the NSF railroad (hence our theme and name). The sites comes stocked with firewood, trash can and picnic table. Located behind the main vineyard of Barrel Run Winery, you are a short walk to the bathroom we leave unlocked for campers if you choose. We have closed the winery but the campsites remain. The sites are very private. Thank you!

Camping at Heritage Farms

47 sites · Lodging, Tents115 acres · Peninsula, OH

At Heritage Farms, we’re currently a 5th-generation, family-owned and -operated Christmas tree farm headed by my husband, George, and me, Carol. Originally founded in 1848 by my great uncle Lawson Waterman, it was my father who shifted our primary focus to cultivating Christmas trees in 1955. George and I took the reins in 1979 and have been happily continuing the tradition of growing trees while also expanding into other areas, including celebrating Halloween with our month-long Pumpkin Pandemonium in October. We’ve also taken to hosting the Peninsula Flea during the summer months, catering to a wide variety of artisan- and craftsman-centric clientele. As for camping, we began eight years ago following a trip George and I took to Denmark, wherein we stayed in a number of outdoor shelters that would later inspire us to construct the first of our several Adirondack-style shelters. We’ve since expanded to offering six shelters total, three of which share the same Adirondack aesthetic of our original build, and three of which take inspiration from an open-air A-frame design. Along with those shelters, we’ve mapped out nine primitive tent sites, all of which are available for rent, spring through fall—we hope to see you here! Heritage Farms is a 5th-generation, 115-acre farm located in the heart of the scenic Cuyahoga Valley National Park, and as such we are incredibly close to the various trails located across the Cuyahoga Valley. We are a working tree farm, and while we do ask for your care while residing among our fields, we also encourage you to take advantage of the beauty and serenity that our property has to offer! WHAT WE OFFER From April 1st to October 26th, 2024, we have 15 campsites available* for rental, including nine outdoor tent sites, three A-frame sites, two standard Adirondack shelter sites, and one “Glamping” site.

All shelter sites include closure devices for privacy and protection. Our Glamping site (numbered as Campsite 3) features an upgraded Adirondack shelter that includes a complimentary mattress, screen door and fasteners, exterior curtain, lean-to awning, and full propane grill and tool set. Also included is a furnished campfire ring featuring rustic bench seating and chairs. It’s a perfect site for large groups!

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
