2024 total eclipse
In the path of the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse.
Welcome to your lovely home away from home. Located on 30 acres of land, our farm is just a few minutes from downtown and all things Oberlin College & Conservatory. Come watch the sunset overlooking our beautiful garden, explore the vibrant campus life, or cook yourself a meal in our open outdoor kitchen. The space: Our campsites are situated on active organically farmed land. We have several sleeping spots available and amenities include an outhouse, an outdoor kitchen with sink & gas stove and seating area. Guests can freely use the basement shower which can be accessed through the red storm doors on the side of the house. Other things to note: Helpful to have a car even though campus is so close. 1/4 of the 25 minute walk to campus is along a state route. There is a beautiful longer walk to avoid the highway along a bike trail but if you have places to be, either ask us for a ride or best you have your own vehicle :) I walk all the time. Very doable just depends on your preference.Welcome to your lovely home away from home.

Nice place. It was raining pretty hard while I was there (1 night) so I didn’t see much. Has a covered picnic table area and a paved level place to park. Very close to Oberlin, which is a nearly nice town. Not too much a a detour from rt 80. Good overnight, about 500 miles from NYC going east.

Super friendly hosts and solid amenities. Nice camping spot under the locust trees, access to outdoor kitchen, mini fridge, and showers in the main house.

This was a great place to stay! It was a little noisy with the road nearby, but we appreciated having a covered area to cook and watch the sunset. Running water is always a plus!

Beautiful sunset and a good level spot, Prompt communication w/host and Oberlin nearby. All night traffic noise a fact of life here, but the price is right.

Car Camping Very Near Oberlin
This is a really mellow, spacious, and generous HipCamp spot. Michal and her partner Henry have several spots on their roadside farm property where you can easily tent camp or park a campervan (and some RVs would fit). I slept next to the outdoor kitchen 2 nights and under the honey locust closer to the outhouse (but not too close) on my last night. By the way: outdoor kitchen! It was so nice to be able to cook. One suggestion for Michal and Henry: maybe installing a rack or hooks to hang the pans would help the oil or water drip off them after use, as mosquitoes sometimes got trapped on in the surface of pans stored horizontally. It was fine to clean them before using them - a very camping thing to do - but that idea came to mind while I was using the kitchen. I would say the wifi at the listing is not really a thing unless you're very close to the house, but you're 3 minutes from the town center of Oberlin, tiny but mighty in coffeeshops, a scrumptious bakery, and restaurants. This is more of a "sleeping in a camping style near a town" situation to me than "getting lost in the wilderness." Civilization is right there. But since I needed to work remotely while car camping during the week, this was exactly what I needed. p.s. I didn't use the shower since I have a gym membership, but I was told there's a shower in the basemenr through the red storm doors.

Nice spot overlooking a field. Only issue is the highway almost a mile away that we could hear most of the night.
