Camping near Loveland with climbing

Our stay at Fruitdale farm was idyllic! Such a great getaway from life. Aimee had super clear instructions that made check in and departure a breeze. Walking around her land and exploring her recommended local trails felt like a sanctuary. The A-frame offered a wonderful in-between for people like me who aren't ready to fully commit to camping in a tent. I still got the outdoorsy experience of a latrine, no electricity, and no running water, but after a day of hiking, nothing felt better than to lay on the super comfortable bed. PS would highly recommend the Cedar Run Trailhead with the Highlands Nature Sanctuary. It was a relaxing hike, with so much beautiful moss, greenery, and a breath-taking waterfall.

4 nights at Fruitdale Farm

I love the Fern Cabin. It stays toasty on the cold nights. The sunset is over the farm is always gorgeous. The gazebo kitchen is the perfect mix of indoor and outdoor. And Aimee is an awesome host!

The property was easy to find and the instructions on where to enter and park were very clear. The property was also quite beautiful and peaceful. We quickly noticed how quiet it was once the birds went to bed. It was a clear night so we witnessed a beautiful sunset and great stars. Our site (site #1) had a fire ring and a picnic table. Overall, we were very happy with our host and our stay. We will book again if returning to the area.

Aimee's property is beautiful, has tons of amenities, and she is a great host! I would love to come back to her land any tine

2 nights at Rustic Retreat

I loved staying at Rustic Reteat! The property is beautiful and Ro wet was a generous host. I don't do the traditional tent camping but I stead have decked out my car for camping with a hatchback tent. Robert had a space for me to pull my car into and stay for the week. Since it was the "off season" I happened to be the only camper here, so it was very quiet. It was also provided an extension cord to be able to hook up my electric and stay comfortably during the last of the winter weather. I highly recommend staying here. The airstreams that are available to stay in look beautiful and are situated to give privacy for any camper.

My boyfriend and I absolutely loved this place.! Our campsite was perfect and very inclosed and private! Although it rained the owners had bridges and mulch to accommodate us durning the rain. We loved the trails they had on site, the beehives , pond and chicken coops even though there was none in there it was still a nice set up and the property was very well taken care of and set up.! The privy’s were very convenient and nice to have as I am 7months pregnant.!

This was our second trip to Fruitdale farm and it was just as fun! Though it was the off season and very cold while we were there, we stayed warm in the Fern Cabin. We used the kitchen for dinner and breakfast and had a wonderful time outside. We used the sauna and shower twice to stay warm and they were both amazing and relaxing. The trails and bathroom were well maintained and easy to find. Previously we stayed in the fall and got to see the garden and chickens so we did miss those on our trip this winter. We can’t wait to go back this spring/summer!

Aimee’s land is so beautiful and peaceful. The Sugar Shack cabin was a perfect weekend getaway for my partner and I. The cabin has everything you could need, and we can’t wait to come back! I want to make a stay at the Sugar Shack a seasonal occurrence at the very least! Aimee is so inspirational in the way that she’s built a sustainable farmstead and we are looking to do the very same!

Came for a romantic Valentine's Day getaway and the sugar shack did not disappoint. The cabin is cozy, and the wood burning stove keeps it plenty warm, even in February! It was great to getaway from the hustle of living in downtown Cincinnati and disconnect for a weekend. The tiny town of Bainbridge is very quaint and offers traditional small town Ohio charm. If you stop in, I recommend the coffee shop at the theater and walking through the antique store (it's huge!) Excited to come back and stay in the summer and check out the nearby nature preserves!

I had a lovely solo winter escape at the sugar shack cabin. The cabin had everything I needed and was cozy and warm. Listening to the water running in the creek just outside while having coffee was so grounding. I loved hiking Barrett's rim trail and Kamelands trail, and afterward getting a warm pretzel sandwich from the Amish bakery. Highly recommend the sugar shack cabin for a solo or couple's getaway!

I’ve lost count on how many times we’ve stayed at Fruitdale! Always a great experience. It was the coldest weekend of the Winter so far, yet we were warm and cozy having everything we needed. Will be back in the Spring. 🍃

The sugar shack has everything you could possibly need for an enjoyable & comfortable getaway in the woods. It was very cold & wet ringing in the new year, but I couldn’t have had a better time. Feeling very grateful for Fruitdale Farm and all that Aimee has done!

I loved my stay! The location is peaceful and scenic, making it the ideal getaway. Whether I was sipping coffee on the porch or enjoying the trails nearby, I felt completely relaxed. Aimee was also an exceptional host—responsive, kind, and thoughtful, ensuring I had everything I needed for a seamless stay. I highly recommend this cabin for anyone looking for a tranquil and comfortable retreat. I’ll definitely be back!

2 nights at Rustic Retreat

Above and beyond as usual! This was our second time at the farm but our first time staying at the Sugar Shack. We were pleasantly surprised at the accommodations and how much fit in such a lovely little cabin. Aimee started the fire for us so that it was warm upon arrival, and she was kind enough to let us roll over the sauna add-on from our last visit that we never got to use. The farm is truly magical, and my partner and I have made so many memories on the property. We cannot wait to visit again.

We loved this place! Comfortable, Cozy and Clean! Will definitely be back for more Adventures. Beautiful fall camping during Thanksgiving break with a special treat Thanks to Robert for sharing his Climbing space !

Aimee has done a fantastic job with the place. Everyone has privacy and the place is beautiful. Very well thought out.

This was our first time using Hipcamp and we loved it!!! Fruitdale Farm was the perfect place to spend the night. We were at site 2 and it was perfectly secluded and private. The property was beautiful and the farm stand was an added plus! Clean outhouse as well. Would definitely recommend!!
