Grins & Pickin's CampFarm

8.1mi from Sunbury · 44 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
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 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 fireflies. 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!

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).
Trash. This sustainable farm has no garbage hauling, please carry away your trash.

Five trails set the backdrop for ample bird watching, where you can hike or bike to your destination of choice. If your crew is looking for a more extensive hunting and fishing experience, consider visiting the nearby Delaware Wildlife Area, which offers nearly 5,000 acres of game.

First of all, the cinnamon rolls were incredible and arrived warm at my campsite:) the fire pit was nice and having a table for food prep and meal time was a nice touch.
Joy and her hubby stopped by deliver the wood and met my dog and me. HipCamp owners are the best!
Now for the big surprise… at dusk, lights in the shade tree came on!! That was the winning touch for sure

The goats are unruly! Laura, a goat, was my admirer and the kids were the cutest things to watch. I laughed at their silliness the whole time. Many sheep, goats, chickens, ducks, cats, dogs, rabbits, turkeys, a horse and perhaps animals I didn’t see. It is a working farm that supports children’s education and love of animals. Catherine is incredibly hospitable and welcoming. Just a good, nice person. Her team of interns, volunteers and staff are so committed to the animals. Thank you Ophelia, Austin and Maddie Be aware you will be woken by roosters (many roosters) in the morning and you’ll have messy shoes in the evening. This is a no frills location and I liked it that way. Be sure to watch the sunset. Peaceful and relaxing I recommend Catherine’s Hipcamp.

We loved camping at Flying J Farm. We spent all day fishing on the lake and caught some beautiful Catfish! The kids loved the boat and the space to run and play! Being so close to the bathroom was a plus. The area was clean and so nice and quiet. The owner is friendly, and came to check on us each day. We loved seeing the cows on the way in and the fact that you drive so far back to get to the campsite, it didn't feel like you were even on a farm. We love this place and will be back soon!

We absolutely loved #6 lake side. We were right next to the huge pond and had the creek on the other side of us which was so soothing to hear at night time. There were no near by camping spots near us which was also great. We got to do some fishing and caught a lot of fish. We did some walking through the trails they had on their property which was beautiful. The sunrise and sunset there was breathtaking. We loved that they had kayaks for us to use. They had wood bundles for us to buy for our 1st night and the rest we just walked along a trail right behind our campsite and collected wood. The owners were very friendly. We definitely enjoyed our time and was very relaxing. We'd 100% recommend this campsite to anyone.

Our stay at Sunset View was our first Hipcamp experience. The only downfall is that our next trips will have a lot to live up to! The views were great, it was quiet and we had tons of space to hang out and explore.
The compost outhouse and water spigot (best well-water I’ve ever had!) are a short walk away down a small hill.

We've enjoyed Flying J several times and have tried various sites. This time, Site 9. With trees not fully leafed out yet (early April), some other sites were technically visible from our spot, but if trees were in full leaf I think the only one still noticeable would be "the Chapel"/Site 8, which was not occupied during our visit. We didn't have any disturbance from campers at other sites; I'd say the feeling at Site 9 is of privacy, but not isolation. Spring peepers were noisy, but we like them! We tent camped and put up a hammock. By the way Site 9 is not very close to the bathroom, so we brought our own "luggable loo" for convenient nighttime use (currently $22 at REI, plus pack of 6 waste bags, $18). Rain was forecast at times, so the farmer advised 4 wheel drive would be best. We brought our own lifejackets and made use of both one-seater kayaks as well as the rowboat; this is one of our favorite things about Flying J. At this visit, I was not able to really hike due to injury, so I loved that I could still catch a glimpse of the bent tree with the splintered arm (at the far side of the lake, when heading in direction of the cove?), just by riding past in the rowboat. I knew what to look for, and as mentioned the trees weren't in full leaf, so I don't know how easy this would be to spot for someone else. My family also hiked to the tree later that day. One of us did end up with a dog tick, so be attentive, but that's just normal outdoor life in Ohio.

Beautiful pond but the rain never stopped when we stayed. The weather was not in our favor. Unfortunately our Ford Transit got stuck, that was scary with all the rain water and flood warnings but James helped us get out in the morning. Originally it was going to be a trip with just myself and husband but we had to add kids. The price went up. That was a huge bummer. We couldn't bring all of our family at that price. Just when we started to fish a lightning storm rolled back in. It would have been fun without the stuck tire & flood warnings. Love the area and beautiful place.
