Nice campsite with flat ground and soft grass. There was a bit of road noise occasionally but it wasn't enough to keep me awake.

It is a private campsite surrounded by trees and bushes, and decorated by blinking lights and fireflies. It is nice to place to stay during a road trip.

A great spot if you want some privacy and a peaceful patch of nature without being far from town. It feels tucked away and is very convenient—only about 20 minutes from downtown activities, restaurants, and shops. Would definitely stay again!

We had a wonderful stay at A Place Aglow!! It was so well-maintained, sunrise and sunset were beautiful and Joy even decorated the camp with flowers on the table. My only regret is not adding on the extra goodies.

Great solo location with little mini trails. Awesome place to just kick back and relax while taking in some nature. Joy is always a great host (as this is not my first time here).

First of all, the cinnamon rolls were incredible and arrived warm at my campsite:) the fire pit was nice and having a table for food prep and meal time was a nice touch.
Joy and her hubby stopped by deliver the wood and met my dog and me. HipCamp owners are the best!
Now for the big surprise… at dusk, lights in the shade tree came on!! That was the winning touch for sure
Just know this is a primitive camp with small amenities. Bring your camping toilet and privacy tarp.

Great site. Able to walk around through a couple different short trails so great for walking your furry companion while still being close to your camp. Also able to let your furry friend explore without a leash.
Joy was great people, very welcoming

Amazing location. Host was very kind and helped us locate the spot as it was dark and we were exhausted. There is highway noise but it was white noise for us! Very safe location for solo campers.

A Place Aglow Behind The Chateau
Joy’s property was great for our stay. It was only a 20 min drive into Columbus and was near some nice farmers markets. The site was secluded and the mowed paths around the site would be great for hide n seek with kids. It did feel a little awkward driving in around her house and down the property line, but the directions were perfect and once we were in the space it was perfect. Bring your own chairs, firewood and ‘potty’. If you have a taller vehicle use the farther path in as the first entry has some low branches. Although the highway is a bit away, you could still hear some of the louder vehicles, although they did become less noticeable as time went on.

This is an ok site, but overpriced for what you get. Notice that there is no water, no firewood, and no toilet. I didn't realize that, and for >$70, I would have booked somewhere else. The site itself is private and comfortable, but the wire spool table could use something to sit on. Basically, for what we paid, I would have expected a more comfortable campsite.

The place was beautiful and super peaceful to stay. Joy was a great host, and was so nice to talk to. This will definitely be a reoccurring camp site! Thanks Joy!

Just enough woods and brush to make this backyard spot feel private. There is a table and a firepit but bring some camp chairs.
Easy to find and you can park very close to the spot.
There is some freeway noise - it didn't bother me but just a note to super light sleepers.
Just about a 15 minute drive to downtown Hilliard for diner or supplies...

I enjoyed the perfect peaceful surroundings. To sit out here and read my Bible and meditate is so relaxing I recommend this spot to anyone who just need to be away and get some peace and quit time there are a lot of different birds out here chirping away.

Absolutely perfect for car camping while traveling. A nice, secluded, homey spot that felt safe and comfortable. It was super easy and pleasant communicating with Joy. Would definitely stay here again!
Sounds of cars and airplanes would have been slightly frustrating if I were tent camping. But was perfect for my circumstances.

Very private campsite in a large and deep backyard. It was perfect for our needs--easy exit from the interstate. Quiet and dog friendly. We would definitely stay here again.

I was very happy with this affordable, convenient, and appealing campsite. It is close to the interstate, the advantage being that it's very easy on and off for travelers, but it is also subject to some highway noise. Otherwise, if you're looking for something inexpensive, attractive, and very convenient, I'd recommend it highly.

Joy’s camping spot is perfect! I felt secluded yet safe. The sunset was gorgeous and her small touches made me feel very welcome and appreciated! The camping space is large yet cozy and private. The location is convenient to the freeway and in a very lush part of Ohio. I will be back!

I think different people have different criteria for what seems 'private' to them. So there is no right or wrong answer. In my case, it did not feel as private as I expected.
There are two busy roads at right angles to each other, each .1 mile away. In addition, I-70 is .5 miles away. As a result, there is continuous traffic noise. Some people, I'm sure, would not even notice. But I am sensitive to that, and I did.
Joy did a lovely job preparing the site for me, with fresh flowers on the table. The mowed paths make a cool little maze for wandering about. Really, it was just a mismatch in expectations, so I have no complaint.
