We are one of the few 100% grass fed/ grass-finished ranches that practices regenerative agriculture. Guests may explore the farm, bird watch, enjoy catch-and-release fishing in a private one-acre pond, or sit by the fire. The Ohio to Erie Trail is 1/4” mile from the ranch. You can purchase bison, beef (when in stock), and firewood at the ranch. We look forward to hosting you. P.S. We have a two-night minimum on Weekends (Friday and Saturday nights)

Great site, host brought firewood. The site is easy to access, but also very quiet. We saw a buck crossing the field in the morning. The stars were incredible at night because there is very little light pollution.

We loved RV camping on Frankie's land.. She was very nice and we loved her place. Sugar, the farm dog, made our trip even better. My dog and Sugar loved each other and I loved her too... Very quiet and peaceful. Beautiful farm and wonderful ponds. Very close to our home but we felt like we was 'out of town'. Very nice sites... All of them would have been great. We can't wait for warmer weather so we can come back!

Great place if you're looking for a spot to hang out near Cedarville Ohio for a couple days. Camp and learn a little about the farm from Glen. Pond essentially right outside the camper, quiet and peaceful.

This is a beautiful site right on the water. Directions were clear to the property and we were pleasantly surprised that there was wood for the fire! You usually have to purchase or bring your own, so that was lovely! Would definitely stay again!

We spent three nights in our RV. It was lovely, peaceful, and quiet. The host was very nice. Even though we were close to the barn and house we had our privacy. It was exactly the quiet getaway we needed.

Group of five of us stayed at the cove site. It was really great. Site was clean. The scenery was great. The road is super quiet. Lots of space between sites we had a family next to us and it was far enough away we couldn’t hear them unless we all went quiet. The river access is great and the local kayak rental sends you right past the site so you can stop and get a bite to eat at your site before getting back on the river. A great site if you are looking for something a little more barebones but not so far secluded that you have to hike to access.

Everything about the property is perfect. No noise pollution, no light pollution, serenity at night and a beautiful property to explore during the day. Oh yeah, the best part is the fishing, ponds ar we full of panfish and the bass are huge!
