Pleasant Valley Farm was originally a working farm with a two-story farmhouse and traditional bank barn, built in the late 1800s. The massive timbers and joinery are constant reminders of the meticulous craftsmanship of the era. Jim and Kathy Grogg purchased Pleasant Valley Farm in 1994 and not only updated the house and barn, but also expanded the lake to its current 13 acres. The large 144-year-old, 2736-square-foot barn is now available for special occasions such as weddings, receptions, birthdays, and reunions.

We bought this 125+ year old farm in 2010 with the hope of bringing it back to life. Overgrown and neglected, we have worked hard to make it a nice place for hiking, kayaking, fishing or any number of other activities. Peaceful and remote, the property has a beautiful brook that leads you to the South branch of the Portage river. Deer, turkey, geese, herons, mink and fox are just a few of our natural animal friends. Rusty the steer and his pony friends Lexi and Little Bits can be visited while they graze in the pasture. There are chickens and Brindle the barn kitty. We have the perfect place for dogs as well. We have four dogs that get along great with others and our fenced pond keeps them safe.

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!

We tent camped for four nights at Site 3 which was perfect for our needs. The river was bone dry but fishing in the pond was good! We also enjoyed exploring the trails Jay has cut out. Thanks for a nice stay : )

Jay is a very good host and was very flexible with us. The drive into the sites is interesting since you have to drive through his grass. If it is rainy I would recommend 4/all wheel drive.
The area was great! Sites were secluded in a tree dense area and around 25 minuets away is the large town of Findlay. Plenty of hikes and parks around as well!
Ultimately it was a great stay, and I would definitely come back!

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!

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.

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.
