Nice place close to shopping close to hiking bathrooms were spotless staff were all very nice friendly very family safe we stayed on 42 full hookup the site and a few others had recently been worked on so still muddy on a few .

You are on the top of the hill nice view.

Weekend Trip to Grins & Pickin's CampFarm

Great place! We took our young daughter there and we all had a blast walking around the trails and playing in the creek. Christy was super helpful as well!

3 nights at Grins & Pickin's CampFarm

I loved camping here! Christy was very kind and went above and beyond to help us stay warm and dry!

Weekend Trip to Grins & Pickin's CampFarm

We had a great time camping at Grins n Pickins campground. Christy is so welcoming and friendly. The property is well taken care of and birds / wildlife were abundant. Unfortunately we had to cut our stay a day short as the overnight temps were a little too low for my young son, but we will be back soon when it’s warmer!

3 nights at Hilltop Resorts and Campgrounds

My family had a great time here! The playground could use some updating and I wish the grounds were a bit more level for chairs by the fire but all in all, great place to stay.

Weekend Trip to Grins & Pickin's CampFarm

The campsite was very nice! I wish we could have stayed longer. The duck eggs were great! Very quiet and serene with hearing the owls at night 😊 Next time through we'll bring the whole family for a night or two! We were even refunded for the wood when we weren't able to use it for a fire due to getting back much later than we hoped.

Everything was clean and I felt safe here. The staff were very friendly!

Weekend Trip to The Turkey Hollow Campground

Very peaceful and not far from everything in Amish country

Weekend Trip to The Turkey Hollow Campground

It was a great place to tent camp. Only downside was the weather that can’t be controlled. Matt is a great host!

Weekend Trip to Pop's Place Camping

The cabin was cute and clean and in good condition. The beds were comfy. Had paper plates and plastic utensils and paper towels already in the cabin. It was very private because it was raining so there wasn’t anybody outside or anything. More affordable than a lot of other cabins. There was a massive spider under one of the extra pillows. And there was a cute cat that showed up on our last night just wanting to hang out with us.

Beautiful spot and very easy to find! Would definitely come back.

Weekend Trip to Geneva Hills

Wonderful time staying at Geneva Hills! Everyone we encountered was very friendly and informative. Beautiful place as well.

2 nights at Pop's Place Camping

We really enjoyed staying here! Ed and Michelle were great hosts. They were very warm and helpful. The cabin (Moose Cabin) was really clean and the mattresses were comfortable. It was nice that bedding was provided. Our kids had a blast there and Ed and Michelle were so kind to them. The port-a-potty was very clean and the outdoor shower was also really nice. It's obvious that Ed and Michelle have worked hard to make this a great place to stay and value their guests.

1 night at The Lake at the Flying J Farm

What can I say, this is a wonderful piece of land. From the campsites and the amazing views of the pond, to the peace and quiet provided our stay exceeded my expectations. Richard was kind and attentive but Ruby (his loving dog) stole our hearts. Everything was exactly as described in the listing which made navigating a breeze. Trails and campsites were well marked which I really appreciated. I couldn't recomend this place enough!! Can't wait to get back with the whole family.

Weekend Trip to The Turkey Hollow Campground

Beautiful place ! I would definitely recommend the rustic cabins ! I am so interested to check this place out in the winter !

Weekend Trip to Hilltop Resorts and Campgrounds

Nice quiet location. Still a bit off season so not many people around. We fit nicely on the pad with our 31 foot class C and car. Minimal leveling needed in our site. Great location close to Logan, Hocking State Park, and Nelsonville. We visited the Jack Pine glass studio and the Rocky boot outlet. Everyone at campground was friendly and helpful. The facilities were clean which definitely wins points with me!!

Weekend Trip to McKee Farm - Treehouses and Camping

One Tree Hill was great! The one aspect I look for is quiet and Autumn and Carols farm has it. I slept better than I have in a while.

The Lake at the Flying J Farm

8 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents250 acres · Johnstown, OH

Good news! Open fire ban lifted, camp fires are ok now! 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).

The Turkey Hollow Campground

8 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents40 acres · Millersburg, OH

Turkey Hollow is nestled in the rolling hills of Holmes County Ohio. We are right on the edge of the largest Amish settlement in the nation. The primitive campground is in the corner of a small 40 acre farm owned by Matt Polcyn. He started the campground 8 years ago because of his love for nature and real camping. He enjoys traveling in many places in the States and the Caribbean islands and loves finding places off of the beaten path and not commercialized. Because of his interest and love for primitive camping he decided to open the campground in order to provide the same opportunity as a getaway primitive camping location that he tries to find when he travels. We now just added a in the trees, warm water rinse off area.

Family-friendly glamping 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.
