Weekend Trip to The Lake at the Flying J Farm

Flying J Farm is an incredible place. We reserved all 8 of the sites and had a school trip and family camp out. Booking again for the summer and fall- now!

Weekend Trip to The Lake at the Flying J Farm

A nice quiet place to camp. I will definitely return in the future when I want to unplug and get away.

Weekend Trip to GloryField Hospitality Farm

Everything went GREAT! Kim is super friendly and sweet! Although it was windy for our stay, Kim’s farm was PERFECT for our first time camping in our new travel trailer! We look forward to camping here again. The cows were a plus as well😇

1 night at The Lake at the Flying J Farm

The chapel was the perfect quick getaway. Not having to pack a tent was great and a little weather came in during the early morning but my son never even woke up. Richard came out and introduced himself and made sure we had everything taken care of. There was some good fishing and it was very comfortable. Will definitely be back

4 nights at GloryField Hospitality Farm

Had to be in Jamestown, OH for a couple of days, and this Hip Camp site was in the perfect location. The setting was peaceful, and each morning brought a beautiful sunrise. Unfortunately, the weather was cold, windy, and rainy during our stay—I wish it had been warmer so I could have taken a nature walk around the property. The site was easy to access, making arrival and departure hassle-free. Kimberly, the host, was fantastic with communication, and if you're traveling with a group, she has nearby Airbnb properties as well. Looking forward to coming back in better weather!

1 night at Lil' slice o paradise (Homestead).

We booked this site very last minute and it couldn’t have worked out better! Our host was amazing… her little daughter even picked us some fresh flowers to have by the campfire! Thank you, Mabel!

2 nights at Green Plains Ranch

Great time and great host! I hope to see Glen and the farm again!

1 night at Grins & Pickin's CampFarm

Fell asleep to the sound of frogs calling in the pond. Wandered the property and enjoyed nature. Thank you for sharing this place!

1 night at The Lake at the Flying J Farm

Was a good spot. We cooked filet mignon tacos by the lake

Weekend Trip to The Lake at the Flying J Farm

Beautiful, quiet, wooded space close to Columbus. Have stayed there before and will stay there again.

Weekend Trip to Little Darby Outdoors

Beautiful property. Nice outdoor building. My son and I just did a quick one night and all was great. Clean bathrooms and fire pit.

1 night at Sweet Spot by Yellow Springs

We loved camping here!! The area is in a secluded and grassy spot, and it’s absolutely gorgeous!! There are so, so many birds and it was very peaceful. We woke up to the sun shining and birds singing, and it was great feeling!😊😊😊

2 nights at The Lake at the Flying J Farm

I loved camping at Flying J. Farm. The owner was really nice and the campsite was beautiful. Inside the cabin, where the shower and water is accessible, there's many interesting pictures and stories to read about. Such as the story about how the cabin was built; which was an enjoyable read! Overall, me, my girlfriend and our friend enjoyed our whole stay there!

1 night at Lil' slice o paradise (Homestead).

Absolutely amazing experience at this homestead! From the moment I arrived (even earlier than planned, which they graciously accommodated), I felt welcomed. The host was incredibly kind and made sure everything was perfect for my stay. The campsite itself was peaceful, well-kept, and a great place to relax. You can tell they put a lot of care into making it a great spot for guests. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a unique and comfortable camping experience. I’ll definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to The Lake at the Flying J Farm

One of the best camp sites we have been to. We did some hot tent camping so we were the only ones on the land, but even in the summer it seems like the sites have plenty of privacy. Nice views of the lake and giant fire pits were awesome. We plan to return in the summer or fall. Thanks Richard

Weekend Trip to The Lake at the Flying J Farm

I've stayed at Flying J now 3 times and at 3 different sites. They have all been great! Highly recommended!

Weekend Trip to The McIntosh Pines

Nice site, perched up overlooking a little ravine and a nice stream. Very private. Saw a couple of deer. Would definitely recommend.

Weekend Trip to The McIntosh Pines

We had a great stay at Chad & Elizabeth's site it was really peaceful. We both slept well and felt safe. The site was well maintained and we requested some wood to burn in the outside fire pit, which we were thankful for. The setting of the site is very scenic and secluded. Thank you, we will hopefully get to return. The site can be seen at Get Livin Outdoors on YouTube. Plenty enough area to put up a large inflatable tent. 😁

Weekend Trip to Richards Resting Roost

Our very first night as life time mobile living. It was completely random and I'm not sure how our night would have ended without HipCamp or Joshua's home for us to stay in that night. Living city life all the time, and waking up in their backyard was actually quite beautiful and welcome. We needed to leave a little later, and much unlike city life...they were very ok with us leaving late. I only needed to see them to hook up some electric. It took a few minutes for them to notice we had pulled in, but again...this is their backyard they are letting us stay in for a very nominal fee. It was as advertised and worth anyone's boondocking or traveling needs

Weekend Trip to The McIntosh Pines

The camp site was amazing! Definitely secluded and you have the entire area to yourself. It’s a great place to relax and unwind!

LRB Farm Hidden Escape

3 sites · Tents12 acres · Harrod, OH

Little Riverbend farm was established in 1996 by Dave and Traci Bitler. The original property was settled sometime in the mid 1800s with the main house built sometime between 1872-1875. Through several generations the property was passed between the original owners family members, then split up and sold into lots. When the Bitlers purchased the property in 1996, the main house was sold with 3 acres and the 2 stall barn. Then in 2015 they were able to purchase an additional 9 acres of adjoining property giving them the additional pasture and woods running along the Auglaize River.Learn more about this land:Pitch your tent in a secluded site nestled between a babbling creek and pasture. Located behind 8 acres of lush horse pasture, a mini working dairy goat farm and few chickens and ducks for fresh breakfast eggs. You'll have access to a fire ring, firewood, and a wrought iron picnic table with chairs and scenic views along the Auglaize river.

The Lake at the Flying J Farm

8 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents250 acres · Johnstown, OH

Good news! Open fire ban lifted, camp fires are ok now! The Flying J Farm is 250 beautiful rolling acres including 100 acres of forest, 6-acre lake small pond, three streams, and numerous fields for crops and pastures with cows. The owner bought the farm in 1998 for his retirement from a faculty position at the Ohio State university. Two buildings, the farm house and old barn, are original dating back to 1831. These have been restored for current use. The mission of the farm is to restore health both in people though the products produced and in the land by farming in a sustainable way with no conventional chemicals, antibiotics, and use of GMO. We host many visitors including tours and events. An on farm market is available to visitors for purchase of our products including grass-fed beef, maple syrup, and fruits and vegetables. The cabin was built using wood from the farm. It has off-grid electricity meaning it is powered by batteries charged by solar panels. There is not sufficient power for devices with a heating element such as coffee makers and hair dryers. You may charge cell phones. For any other use, please check with the owner. Wild Life. There is an abundance of wildlife to be observed on the farm. Deer can be seen at dusk, raccoons can be seen going through your camp food at night (if you put it in your car), turkeys, hawks, vultures, rabbits, coyotes (heard screaming at night), frogs (especially heard at night), fish (jumping), and many song birds (my favorite, the bobolink, May and June only, nesting in the pastures).

Grins & Pickin's CampFarm

47 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents20 acres · Marengo, OH

Grins & Pickin's CampFarm was created to share the outdoors with others. Growing food & flowers, camping & hiking is what we like to do. And we like sharing these activities. Our family oriented outdoor recreation facility is open on weekends only and offers primitive camping, PYO produce during the growing season, homesteading activities & nature-based programs. The peaceful 20-acre country farm has food gardens, a frog habitat pool, a barnyard for the chickens & ducks, a bluegill fishin' pond, a pollinator maze, a prairie garden, and an outdoor stage. After crossing a winding creek into 10 acres of woods, you may see deer, turkey, fox, coyote, mink, eagles & barred owls. In early spring, the peepers are peeping, wildflowers are abundant & the vernal pools welcome the wood frogs, salamanders and fairy shrimp. Summer brings on the bullfrogs, butterflies, dragonflies and fireflys. Fall is a great time to pull grapevine to make wreaths & to build stick forts in the woods. We cater to the tent camper so that we can hear frogs & owls instead of generators. But, there is an RV section up front for those with quiet generators with several feet of gravel under the grass to hold the weight of your camper. We charge by the carload & there are different rates for driving back toward the woods for camping depending on the number of wheels & the weight of your vehicle (a factor on the wear & tear on the land). We believe in going outside to play, growing & eating fresh food, strengthening family bonds and promoting the awareness of our natural resources. PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: 1) The speed limit is 5 mph as soon as you enter the property (kids & dogs are quick to dart in front of you). 2) As a state registered campground, it is mandatory that you check in at the house to fill out a Registration Form before heading to your campsite. 3) No glass allowed anywhere on the property (we don't want our feet or paws cut open and can do without flat tires). 4) Children under 18 must be attended to at all times for their safety (the frog pool is 10' deep, the pond is 8-10' deep depending on rains, and the creek can turn into a churning river). Thank you!

Sweet Spot by Yellow Springs

1 site · RV, Tent1 acre · Yellow Springs, OH

The campsite is in an open meadow on our 5 acre property, next to the ruins of what was one of the oldest barns in the county (there are still some beautiful stone walls left). You will be surrounded by trees and the spot is completely private. Directly across the road from our property (a 5 minute walk) is the Little Miami Scenic Trail, the third longest paved trail in the US (amazing for biking). The unique village of Yellow Springs is only a 5 minute drive away with a great local grocery store and several cafes. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE BOOKING. Notes: 1) For camper vans: we do allow camper vans (not RVs or trailers) but you will need to park at the entrance of the meadow where there is gravel. Recently a camper got stuck in the meadow due to rain/mud (which is why we do not allow RVs or trailers). 2) We are still building a compost toilet so the option on the property now is to dig a cat hole at least 6" deep. There is an open public toilet in Yellow Springs and several businesses with open bathrooms. 3) The campsite is right off of Route 68. You cannot see cars from the site but you can hear them. The amount of noise from cars is lower at night. 4) The meadow is ideal for tent camping, though it is NOT a built campsite so it is not perfectly level throughout.
