Host, Alan, could not have been more friendly & helpful. We had a relaxing quiet night on the farm with lots of friendly chickens.

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.

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 Steadfast Roots Homestead

We had great time and a great camp. Krista was very responsive and friendly on every level. We did a hot tent camp in the snow and we didn't get to enjoy all they have to offer, but we still had a great time by the water. We definitely would like to visit again.

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 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!

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!

Sweet Hill

4 sites · RVs5 acres · Streetsboro, OH

Our property is located just off the beaten path with 4.5 acres of land. It’s close to shopping and turnpike/hwy access but still has the out-in-the-country feel. We have a half acre pond filled with bluegill and large mouth bass, a hillside with apple trees and blackberry bushes, and a large gravel turnaround for easy access.

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.

Naturalist Isabelle H. Klein wrote a collection of letters from her home of Sawdust (named form the sawdust left by the loggers of the early 60’s) for the Cleveland Museum of Natural History’s Explorer Magazine from the winter of 1969 to the summer of 1976. They then were published as the book “Letters From Sawdust” by the Press of Case Western Reserve University for the Museum. It is a lyrical voyage through the seasons at the Sawdust Tract in Northeast Ohio. She details encounters with the wildlife of the area as well as the changing seasons and plant life. Reminiscent of Thoreau's writings about Walden. In 1978 an additional house was moved onto the property from Sidley's gravel pit and joined with the existing Klein farmhouse. We decided to preserve almost 400 acres of the property with the help of the Western Reserve Land Conservatory for the Cleveland Museum Of Natural History, Natural Areas. Forest is home to the red-sided dace, and 10 rare species of birds, including cerulean warblers. The original small family farm and surrounding woods we have retained are being restored and updated. We are proud to call Sawdust home and would love to share it with you.
