Weekend Trip to Cabin and Tent Camping On The River

I absolutely recommend Hunter’s place. Everything about our many stays have been top notch.

Weekend Trip to Fruitdale Farm

I loved staying at the Cedar Sanctuary site! This place is absolutely magical, I will be back!

Weekend Trip to Camp Yellow Springs

Glamping at its finest! Perfectly set up camp. Joshua has everything there you need and then some. We loved the front porch when we needed a break from the sun or rain! Our dog loved the camp too. We can’t wait to come back and bring friends!

3 nights at Fruitdale Farm

What a beautiful farm to camp at! My 8 year old daughter and I had such a lovely time in the A Frame exploring the wildlife trails, hanging out with the koi fish, the chickens and Aimee! Everything is so well thought out and obviously a lot of care has gone into this property, it’s absolutely magical, we can’t wait to return!

3 nights at Camp Rocky Run

This was my first ever weekend at a Hipcamp spot and it went great. The owners were helpful and the site was perfect! Definitely recommend it!

3 nights at Quiet Creek Valley

We had a great time camping here! Very nice, very private but not too far from town. You can hear the train every now and then but not enough to bother us. We loved swimming and fishing the creek, and we would definitely stay here again!

3 nights at Quiet Creek Valley

I can’t say enough good about the whole experience!! The hosts were awsome people!! So happy they’ve opened their land up to share with others! It was a beautiful experience all the way around! They went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed to make our stay as easy, fun and comfortable as possible in return we added a few amenities to our campsite lol built some steps to get safely down to the creek, which was amazing and a nice fire pit to share We will definitely be going back one of my very favorite places ever. !!

Weekend Trip to Camp Rocky Run

As described, Curtis was very helpful getting us setup and there was a very friendly kitty also🙂 😺

2 nights at Cabin and Tent Camping On The River

Beautiful property right on the river. Hunter was very helpful and nice. Would recommend.

3 nights at Fruitdale Farm

Me and my boyfriend had a blast at fruitdale farm...the peace and quiet and listening to the wildlife was amazing...not to mention watching the stars and just relaxing. Thank you Amiee for the stay

1 night at GloryField Hospitality Farm

Family was very accommodating and we enjoyed our stay!

Weekend Trip to Fruitdale Farm

We had an excellent time! Even though it rained a lot, the property is gorgeous and our site (site 2) is situated in a great spot with lots of privacy. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to The Land of Milk And Honey

Checking on was a great song the whole farm and getting some delicious, home made cookies! We set up and enjoyed two days of peace and relaxation. The creek was refreshing, the latrine was convenient, and the animals were a real treat! I highly recommend this spot for a quiet getaway!

Weekend Trip to Sky Lake Camping & Fishing

Loved the spot. Was a bit hard to find-GPS doesn't tell you that you have to turn right on Opposum Road again to find the entrance. Next issue is recognizing that this is RIGHT NEXT TO a traditional RV campground. Even the host's personal instructions were a bit unclear. If you go left at the second "fork," as directed, you end up in the campground. What they call a first fork I would call a 90 degree right turn. When we came in at 8 pm, the couple who came to greet us in a golf cart asked if we were looking for the campground and we respondeded yes, thinking they meant Hipcamp. Very confusing. Once you get there, it's beautiful.

Weekend Trip to Fruitdale Farm

Beautiful property with trails. Several sites to meet whatever your needs are. We're already planning a stay in the fall.

1 night at Little Darby Outdoors

Great shower and rr facilities. Shade near building and from trees away from the main building.

1 night at Little Darby Outdoors

Jay’s place was welcoming and a peaceful piece of land. Great restroom, shower and kitchenette. Jay and Cocoa were very nice company. I would certainly stay again.

2 nights at Little Darby Outdoors

The stay was outstanding! The host met me when I got there and showed me where I needed to park and the rest of the trip was just very relaxing and secluded

2 nights at Fruitdale Farm

Folks, book it! Fruitdale Farms is the ideal spot for tent camping or enjoying quiet nights in one of their wonderful cabins on the property. There's solid trails, a refreshing pond to take a dip, a beautiful stream, along with plenty of shade in the woods. You will be kindly welcomed. It's an 11 outta 10!

Weekend Trip to Camp Yellow Springs

Always a wonderful stay at camp yellow springs! Delightfully hidden away yet only minutes from town.

Come stay at our little sustainable farmstead amid the beautiful rolling hills of southern Ohio! Our peaceful 20 acres has a good mix of woods, wild meadows and maintained cleared areas as well as a small pond, all of which can be explored via our nature trail. Enjoy the sounds of nature and an incredible night sky. Farm fresh eggs and fresh produce are available for purchase during the growing season and firewood is available all year round. There is also a wonderful sauna on the property that can be reserved. Great hiking, kayaking, biking, birding, fishing, swimming, and disc-golfing opportunities just a few miles away at Paint Creek State Park and the Highland Nature Sanctuary. Amish country is also just 15 minutes away with a great bakery, markets and greenhouses. This area is home to an impressive network of ancient earthworks including the world famous Serpent Mound. Our accommodations range from primitive tent-camping to "glamping" in one of our tiny off-grid cabins. The sites are spaced out for privacy and each site offers a private picnic table and fire pit. There are two shared privies/outhouses which have basic composting toilets (not flushing). A grassy parking area is provided near the road, however, ALL SITES ARE WALK-IN (with the exception of site #1). ***Please take note that this is private property and the host lives on site. If you are looking for a place to be loud and party into the night, this is not the place for you. If you are looking to spend some quality time in nature, welcome. There are rules.

(Sorry, but we have had too many damaged spots in the grass from the use of 'portable' fire ring units.) !! NOTE on Class A RVs with towed vehicle !! If it is too wet to access the creek side spots, we can still accommodate your stay in the nearby barn driveway but if you are unable to back up with the 'toad' then a detach will be required. Again, this is only if it is too wet to access the creek side camp spots. Generally we will be able to help you back in, but at times we may be away and suggest a helper in guiding you into the barn drive. Note, the barn driveway is not a pull through site.
