Weekend Trip to The Lake at the Flying J Farm

Was moved to site 6 as site 9 was not quite ready....camping site was great. There is a working toilet and shower within walking distance from camp. It was a very peaceful and beautiful campsite! Unfortunately it rained the morning we left and our car got stuck in the lane but Richard pulled us out with his tractor and even fixed the ride with some gravel. We greatly appreciated this! There was even a beautiful pond with kayaks for fishing which we caught a few bass while there.! Richard was a very helpful and a great host! Would highly recommend this beautiful place to get away and relax!

1 night at Hilltop Resorts and Campgrounds

I stopped in at Hilltop for one night with my pup along a road trip and we had a great time. The tent was super cute and cozy. Loved the little porch. Very clean bathroom facilities too. If we are ever in the area again, we would definitely come back!

2 nights at Cherokee Valley Bison Ranch Creekside Retreat

We had an amazing time here! The bison tipi was perfect for us and our dogs. The bison tipi had the perfect set up for hammocks to sit back and relax. I would highly recommend this location. It also allows for a good amount of privacy from the other campers. Thank you for the stay!

Weekend Trip to Cherokee Valley Bison Ranch Creekside Retreat

The tipi and the land around it was amazing. We had everything we needed. Carie’s husband was very helpful when we arrived; I’m also so glad Carie was thoughtful enough to have us change tipi’s d/t the rain on our first night. Despite a little dampness, we stayed nice and warm.

1 night at Cherokee Valley Bison Ranch Creekside Retreat

We loved our visit so much!!!! I can’t even find the accurate words to describe our time at Cherokee Valley Bison Ranch Creekside Retreat! The bison were majestic, Carie was wonderful, and it felt great being in sync with nature.

2 nights at Pleasant Valley Farm Camp

We enjoyed camping at this location. Sheila and her family were super nice and we did get cinnamon rolls as others recommended. They were so good! It’s really nice that there’s a portajohn/pavillion/surround shower. They’re about 20mins from Coshocton and 30mins from amish country.

2 nights at Cherokee Valley Bison Ranch Creekside Retreat

A beautiful setting and a wonderful setup! Carie is a great and responsive host, and she and her husband have created a lovely retreat. The tipis are spacious and so well maintained. There’s a fire pit and picnic table, and she included some basics for cooking. And the sights and sounds of the ranch are delightful! Low grunts from the bison, silly calls from the peacocks, and all sorts of birds and other wildlife. Highly recommend staying here!

4 nights at Hilltop Resorts and Campgrounds

Very clean , friendly, quiet environment Close to about everything We had a great time . Definitely will return . Thank you

Weekend Trip to Grins & Pickin's CampFarm

I cannot say enough good things about Christy’s farm. My kids (9 and 6) and I have been camping here for 5 years now and we’ve never had a bad trip. The frog pond, fishing pond, pollinator maze, and creek provide endless entertainment. It’s much quieter than a state park campsite. It was a chilly Memorial Day weekend, but we had a great trip. I recommend this place to anyone who will listen.

Weekend Trip to The land.

We were in a very private spot along the river. Dogs loved it. Good fishing. Damyan made sure to stop in which was great and the overall camp ground is an awesome property! It was a little tricky to get too due to no signage or signal but Damyan did mention wanting to put one up Firewood for sale on site!

Weekend Trip to The Turkey Hollow Campground

We really enjoyed our time at Turkey Hollow. Our only two complaints are that there was a significant amount of broken glass in and around the fire ring at our site so we had to spend quite a bit of time cleaning that up so our dogs wouldn't step on it. Our other complaint was at 8 am on Sunday we were woken up by a ton of noise coming from the construction site on the property right next to the sites. Otherwise, the site was private enough and there was a clean outhouse to use. We'd recommend it.

Weekend Trip to The Turkey Hollow Campground

We had a great stay at Turkey Hollow! The campsites tucked back in the woods felt fairly private and very comfortable. It was a peaceful spot overall, perfect for a weekend getaway. When we arrived, we did notice some broken glass—about a few bottles' worth—around the fire ring. Fortunately, we were able to clean it up easily without any issues. There was some construction happening across the large main camping field, which brought a bit of noise on Sunday morning. But we were out hiking most of the day, so it didn’t affect our experience too much. Our dogs especially enjoyed the trip—they loved saying hi to the cows and swimming in the pond! Overall, staying at Turkey Hollow was a great experience, and we’ll definitely keep it on our list for future adventures.

Weekend Trip to The Turkey Hollow Campground

I love to go tent camping and unplug. It was a relaxing experience for me and my family. There was plenty of wood to make a fire. The site appeared to be very clean no trash just greenery. There is also a nice size pond to go fishing. I would recommend this place for tent campers. For those who want to unwind and relax.

1 night at Pleasant Valley Farm Camp

The hosts were fantastic! The location was secluded and quiet, and the short walk there was peaceful. There were plenty of marked trails that were relatively well maintained. TONS of wildlife, too. It was beautiful.

Weekend Trip to Pleasant Valley Farm Camp

What an incredible spot! This camp site is tucked away in the most beautiful creek-side hollow, surrounded by trees and sunny fields. So glad we found it! We’ll definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Pleasant Valley Farm Camp

We had an amazing weekend camping at Sheila’s with our dog. Walnut Grove is the perfect campsite with plenty of space, a fire pit with grate and the perfect mix of sun and shade. A small path leads from your parking spot to the campsite, making unloading and loading easy, but you still feel secluded at the site. It was just the two of us but you could definitely fit more tents if you had a group. Sheila and her family were so accommodating and kind - and DO NOT skip the cinnamon rolls when booking your reservation! The running water at the pavilion was much-appreciated. Our dog loved walking the trails with us and basking in the sun at the campsite!

Weekend Trip to Pleasant Valley Farm Camp

My girlfriend, our pup and I just spent a beautiful late spring weekend here at the Walnut Grove site. Easy access, private, scenic and beautiful place to camp in rural Ohio. Quick walk to running water, porto pot, and trails all over the beautiful property mixed with forest and farmland. Highly recommend the cinnamon rolls! Hosts were super accommodating and very friendly. Would definitely return and maybe try one of the other campsites!

1 night at Fish Farm Camp

Beautiful property with beautiful sunsets includes. Weirdly bug-free, firewood is abundant for the price, coldest ice I've ever had.

1 night at Nature's Way

Beautiful, quiet location and just down the path from the winery. Our spot was secluded and had trees for setting up hammocks. Jim was very helpful in getting us to the spot and back, bringing firewood, and sharing about the other spots on site! We would definitely stay here again.

Weekend Trip to The Lake at the Flying J Farm

We rented 5 sites at Flying J over Memorial Day weekend with four other families. While the overall atmosphere is rustic, we all had a great time. The kids (and some of the adults) all loved the lake to play on. Richard, the host, was very attentive and accommodating of our groups needs. Will be back again.

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).

Grins & Pickin's CampFarm

47 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents20 acres · Marengo, OH

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!

Camping near Zanesville guide

Overview

Zanesville is just an hour from Columbus, but it feels a world away. Everywhere you turn, there’s a state forest, state park, or protected wildlife area. That means one thing: beautiful, convenient camping. Whether you feel like swimming close to camp or sleeping at a forest RV park, this part of Ohio has you covered.

At Dillon State Park, fish for bass and play disc golf just steps from camp. Kids love the basketball court, and hikers can get active on seven trails. If you need to get online, the camp store has free Wi-Fi. You won’t find full hookups here, but most sites have electric; there’s also a dump station.

For some of the best hiking in Ohio, head south to Blue Rock State Park. The campground welcomes big rigs and horses; you can also opt for cabins or tent camping. Rent a boat in the park store and explore the small lake, or swim from the beach. When the lake freezes, come for ice fishing and ice skating.

A little further afield, Ohio offers some surprises. Kayak through hand-operated locks at Muskingum River State Park. At Wolf Run State Park, you can try freshwater scuba diving. To the south, Wayne National Forest is a haven for ATV riders, mountain bikers, and rock climbers.
