Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to Fruitdale Farm

We always enjoy our trips to Fruitdale Farm! Tried out a new site this trip and it did not disappoint! So cozy and perfect for a weekend of hammocking and nature therapy!

1 night at Hideaway Hills Primitive Camp

Had an amazing stay! Kelli is one of the sweetest hosts. My car could not make it up the hill, so she and her husband helped me bring my stuff up in their side by side (and helped me bring it back down for check out). The site itself was very quiet and clean. They had set up dog treats and fresh water for my pup which was really sweet. And the fire was already set up with all the logs, kindle ,etc. Kelli seems super passionate about the sites and I'm excited to see how much they continue to grow!

1 night at The Viking Longhall

My experience was so welcome and needed! The perfect place to unplug and regroup after many days on the road. I highly recommend this place and will be returning as often as I can! David is very kind, helpful and full of great recommendations for hikes and things to do in the area. Until we meet again! 🙏

1 night at Backwoods Hideaway

We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The bed was comfortable and the cabin is very clean. My son loved playing in the creek. We enjoyed the little extras like the chocolate for s’mores and the games. Saw a turkey in the way out!

1 night at Fruitdale Farm

It's a lovely property with all sorts of perks and amenities. Definitely take advantage of the sauna! I had campsite 2 and it was perfect for my hammock setup. This was a great choice to help me avoid driving through Cincinnati on my road trip.

Weekend Trip to Fruitdale Farm

Sugar shack was well placed (next to a small creek with a mini waterfall... Wouldn't be surprised if the water flow is 14 gallons per minute for the waterfall)... There are trails to walk on, which is a positive.

Weekend Trip to Backwoods Hideaway

This spot was remote and secluded but easy to get to. It is surrounded by a beautiful creek and host Aaron thought of everything. This was truly a peaceful escape with the comforts of home but wild enough to feel truly refreshed. My pup Roxy and I cannot wait to be back.

Weekend Trip to Home Afarm

Wonderful hosts!! More was provided than I had even anticipated, and Jonah was very friendly. The outdoor shower is incredible, too. I would come back for sure

Weekend Trip to Fruitdale Farm

Aimee’s land is incredible. From start the finish, we had one of the best camping experiences I’ve had in a long time. Everything is well marked and thought out. Directions are very clear and I felt very comfortable wandering around the property, given the signage and well marked trails. Having a privy was helpful if you need to use it, wished we would have used the sauna but it was a sauna outside! 😂 I ran into Aimee while walking around and she is so genuinely kind and open. She really has thought of everything - when you’re staying there, you feel like you’re part of something really special. Thank you, Aimee, for your hospitality.

3 nights at Possum Ridge Ranch

This was a beautiful property and amazing campsite. We tent camped at sunset ridge with 2 kids and 2 dogs. We had plenty of space and privacy. Having the bathhouse available was a great luxury and very appreciated by the kids. The hosts were kind, friendly and accommodating. We would definitely come back

2 nights at Tranquility Spring Campground

Lovely spot that’s tucked away. Extra bonus is the hookups! Backcountry privacy with campground amenities. We would love to come back and stay in the fall when the leaves change.

1 night at Hideaway Hills Primitive Camp

One part adventure, one part primitive with a sprinkle of bougie. These sites let you really feel like you are out there without being too far off the beaten path. Doug and Kelli are the most hospitable folks you'll find. Small things like stocked firewood, water and treats for your four legged friends (when applicable) are just some of the thoughtful touches you'll find. If you are looking for some solitude without the attitude this is up your alley.

Weekend Trip to Fruitdale Farm

Loved everything about Fruitdale Farm! Great meadows for the dogs to have a run around the pond. Shady woodland paths to hike before a sauna and hot shower. Quiet & remote feeling without being too off the beaten path!

Weekend Trip to Tranquility Spring Campground

Tranquility Spring was one beautiful piece of property. My family and I camped there over a weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it. We walked the trails and saw wildlife. Even had a once in a lifetime encounter with a baby deer. The place was super clean and the fire wood was excellently seasoned, with grill grates for the firerings, we cooked outside all weekend and it was awesome. With all the good I’ve mentioned, the only really complaint I can say is bring bug spray!

Weekend Trip to Rolling Meadow Outpost

Beautiful secluded property. Our family enjoyed a wonderful weekend making great memories. Definitely recommend!

Weekend Trip to Rolling Meadow Outpost

Great space with beautiful sunsets. The host responded quickly to any questions. The directions were easy to follow. We will definitely stay again.

Weekend Trip to Possum Ridge Ranch

Possums Ridge was great! We stayed at the Sunset camp and it had a great view over the mountains of the sunset. They had a few fun trails to hike on including one with a waterfall! Owners were super nice and upgraded us to the better campsite since the other group had cancelled. Would recommend!

Weekend Trip to Hardwood forest

Great place! They were quick to reply to questions, are very flexible about reservations and the place is beautiful!

Weekend Trip to Fruitdale Farm

It is a perfect place for families and people that want to feel like they're in the woods. Sometimes there's an occasional lawn mower or something to take you out of the illusion that you alone in the woods, but overall it's a great little place.

3 nights at Fruitdale Farm

Really beautiful property, well marked short loop hiking trails around, close to Amish bakery, earthworks, and paint creek. The space was perfect. The only downside is carrying stuff from the car across the creek. We also noticed road noise from cars/trucks at night when we hoped to escape that, but that seems common when camping in Ohio. There were also a lot of barking dogs around the property. Highly recommend! Would definitely come back and pack lighter.

Loving Farm

3 sites · Lodging, Tents6 acres · Ewing, KY

Loving Farm is a 6 acre working flower farm and nature preserve in the heart of Nepton, Kentucky (within Ewing). Bordered by Johnson Creek and a railroad, supposedly being revived. TBD. Marietta and Perriee (aka, "The Girls") are a happily married couple who are the current caretakers of the land and live in the house on the property. Half of the property, along the creek, is currently being nature-scaped after not mowing it since 2022. Since then, we have been maintaining mowed pathways and planting seeds, trees, and vegetables that can be found in pockets along the way. The revitalization has led to a resurgence of sunchokes, golden rod, and other native species, in addition to some ragweed, which we have been managing diligently as the space matures. Camp sites are located in this part of the property, mostly along the creek. We also have a White Duck bell tent that is on a deck that overlooks the trails, which can be reserved as well. Our home is also on the property, along the railroad, where our more cultivated gardens are located. We have cats and ducks on the property and appreciate not having other animals from guests, out of respect for their comfort. There is a porta-potty on site and a Trelino composting toilet for guest use in the flower studio bathroom. The flower studio has a bathtub and is plumbed with city water. Cold water is available from an outdoor spigot 24-7. This space is used by Perriee and Marietta for flower storage, seed starting, and baking for events and will remain accessible to guests while staying for the use of bathroom. We would ask you not cook or store food in the kitchen as we use it for business purposes, but the space does have an air conditioner in the event someone needs to cool off. Regardless, it is likely that you will run into another guest here, and cross paths with one of us while working in the studio during the day. The Nepton Warehouse, located on the property, is visible from the road and is used for events here on the farm. We will let you know if an event will be happening during your stay in the event that you want to come during a quieter time. Nepton is a great community with the rural feel you are looking for if you want to camp in nature but be a little closer to people. Cars pass, the hospital is close, but the cicadas hum, the stars are bright, and the sky is big and beautiful. Be sure to check out the following attractions if you are interested in something to do while here: Turtleback Ridge Brewery (also on Hipcamp for an overnight), Yoder's Dinner Bell Market, look for the Honey sign around the corner at Ellessare Farm, stop at Nepton Greenhouse and say hello to Nancy and Daniel, and of course shop at the Fleming County Farmer's Market during the season (open Tuesday evening and Saturday mornings).

Close to Adventure

1 site · RV, Tent44 acres · Frenchburg, KY

My place is secluded and peaceful. Its a wooded country setting and is a primitive site. There are no facilities or utilities, there is an outhouse/self composting (follow up your business with dropping leaves in after). It may not be suitable for children as there are active brush/wood burn piles on the land. See all photos and ask questions, please. I want it to be enjoyable for all who book. It’s also noteworthy that there are dogs in the area that roam free, it’s way out in the country, there are no leash laws. I’ve never had any issues with unfriendly dogs, but always be aware. It’s at a dead end road, no thru traffic. You can stay and enjoy some amazing stargazing, (there is minimal lighting and a very dark, clear view of the night sky) and lots of peace and quiet or explore the Daniel Boone National Forest surrounding the property or travel a short distance and see so many nearby amazing areas…Red River Gorge, Natural Bridge State Park, NADA Tunnel, Sky Bridge, Cave Run Lake, Twin Knobs and Zilpo Recreation Areas, Carter Caves State Park, Grayson Lake, Rudy’s Ranch.

The Viking Longhall

10 sites · Lodging, Tents5 acres · Peebles, OH

The Viking longhall has been 9 years in the making by a group of semi serious Viking enthusiasts: the result is a 60 foot long building that has 18, 8,x4' sleeping berths. Set apart from the main open area it also boasts 2 meeting rooms and a kitchen. The campsite is a very peaceful place. Some go as far as to say a healing place! We are proud of what we have achieved and now want people to come out and enjoy it also. The field is close enough to the Appalachian highway (state route 32) for convenience, but far enough not to be bothered by it. The area is steeped in Native American culture. In fact, the world famous Serpent Mound is but 8 miles away, with many other Adena culture sites within easy driving distance. It's also in the heart of the Amish community. The area is known for its natural beauty with many hiking trails and canoeing opportunities. The area is awash in beauty and history from the ancient mound culture to the amish culture. The area has many hiking trails some of which are part of the buckeye trail and range in length from an easy 1 mile loop to rugged hikes of many miles. Come out and share the land that we have loved for the last 30 years PLEASE NOTE….WE WILL NO LONGER BE SUPPLYING BEDDING OR TOWELS.

The Viking Longhall

10 sites · Lodging, Tents5 acres · Peebles, OH

The Viking longhall has been 9 years in the making by a group of semi serious Viking enthusiasts: the result is a 60 foot long building that has 18, 8,x4' sleeping berths. Set apart from the main open area it also boasts 2 meeting rooms and a kitchen. The campsite is a very peaceful place. Some go as far as to say a healing place! We are proud of what we have achieved and now want people to come out and enjoy it also. The field is close enough to the Appalachian highway (state route 32) for convenience, but far enough not to be bothered by it. The area is steeped in Native American culture. In fact, the world famous Serpent Mound is but 8 miles away, with many other Adena culture sites within easy driving distance. It's also in the heart of the Amish community. The area is known for its natural beauty with many hiking trails and canoeing opportunities. The area is awash in beauty and history from the ancient mound culture to the amish culture. The area has many hiking trails some of which are part of the buckeye trail and range in length from an easy 1 mile loop to rugged hikes of many miles. Come out and share the land that we have loved for the last 30 years PLEASE NOTE….WE WILL NO LONGER BE SUPPLYING BEDDING OR TOWELS.
