Stories from the community

4 nights at Sweet Hill

Excellent location and beautiful property for boondocking. Close to Cuyahogo National Park, Canton, Akron and all the quaint townships you go through while going to your adventures. The hosts responded to my messages and were helpful and very nice.

1 night at Sweet Hill

Beautiful property. Great place to pull over for the night.

1 night at The Pleasant Valley Farm

We enjoyed our one night stay at James' land. The property is very nice l. I wish we could have stayed longer to fish the pond.

Weekend Trip to Towpath Trail Peace Park

Joe was very friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable about the areas history, which was very interesting to learn about. The campsite was well maintained and thoughtfully laid out. Campsites are extremely close to towpath access (basically next to it) and close by to the river so you do not have to go far for outdoor recreation. Will be back soon!

Weekend Trip to Sweet Hill

Great stay Jason & Marcie’s property! Marcie was helpful getting us settled in. Thanks for a restful night!

3 nights at Bass and Buck Tent Adventures

Great place to enjoy some down time! The property is beautiful, camp sites are spread out. Location is convenient and close to town. I did some hot tent camping. Would love to revisit during the different seasons to enjoy. Appreciate Rick's communication and hospitality! This place is a great find!

Weekend Trip to Red Barn Hideaway

Such a wonderful stay! Clear communication, a personal welcome and introduction to the place, open wooded space to wander freely with our dogs and plenty of privacy for a restful night. We’re so happy to have discovered Judy’s Red Barn Hideaway!

Weekend Trip to The Pleasant Valley Farm

What a peaceful place to stay! James was super accommodating and friendly. Would definitely stay again.

Weekend Trip to Sweet Hill

Jason and his wife were great hosts. Notified us prior to arrival to let us know where to park. Lots of flat level space with a beautiful setting of a pond. Very private too. Nice fire pit area although we did not utilize it. Great location with lots to keep you busy. They gave us great recommendations of where to go and grab a bite to eat while we were there. We only stayed one night however, if we were in that area in the future we would not hesitate to stay again!

Weekend Trip to Earth Song Farm

We had a nice stay. The host was very friendly! Also a huge plus that firewood was free.

Weekend Trip to The Pleasant Valley Farm

Jim's place was super cute! Our site (site #8) was really close to the home, but we still felt like we had privacy. We also felt super welcome to explore the land and come and go as we pleased. We stayed on a cold night and have a fully sheltered restroom so close to the site was lovely. We'd definitely stay here again!

3 nights at Sweet Hill

Nice place to camp for a few nights! Easy access to water, pretty views. 2nd time we’ve stayed.

1 night at Sweet Hill

We had a great night by the pond in our tent! Marcie encouraged us to start a fire too and we enjoyed their great fire pit and comfy chairs. Great spot to visit Cuyahoga from!

Bass and Buck Tent Adventures

8 sites · Tents230 acres · OH

With over 230 acres, a lake, trails, the Grand River, and plenty of wildlife. 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 had a cabin on one of the bluffs along the river. In the 1820's there was a water powered sawmill and forge on the river. The boy scouts used the valley for a camp in the 1930's. My grandpa purchased this 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, "jeeping". 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.
