Croaky Oak Clearing of Good Knights Reserve is located in Ohio and a 25-30 minute drive to Dublin. You'll have nothing but peace and privacy on the back 15 acres of the property. A 1/2 mile drivable path will take you to the one site offered. Here you can pitch your tent, build a campfire, catch and release a few fish from the pond, or choose to sit on the floating dock with your feet in the water. There are also a few short trails to meander through. The camp site sits next to a large wetland in cooperation with ODNR, Division of Wildlife so you'll hear the sound of croaking frogs and various other creatures communicating back and forth. A clean porta-john is close by and a small charcoal grill and picnic table with seating for 8 is available. Reservoirs, golf courses, several quaint bakeries and boutiques are close by for additional entertainment. Route 33 is easily accessible.Croaky Oak is a flat, grassy area next to an old Oak tree. The site sits between a 7 acre wooded wetland and a 10 acre farmed field on the property. This allows you to have a private, peaceful camping experience without road noise, or city lights and is the perfect place for a larger number of guests to gather. The path leading to Croaky Oak is about 1/2 mile away from the only entrance into Good Knights Reserve and you can drive your vehicle all the way to the tent site. Croaky Oak is suitable for 2 large tents or 4-5 smaller tents and is just a few feet away from the porta-john, and a 3/4 acre established pond. There are a few trails to stroll through and plenty of wildlife to see. I believe most choose camping as a way to escape with close friends or family in a peaceful, private environment, so I have chosen to offer only one site to reserve for the entire 15 acres. Please reach out to the host, prior to booking, if you have special accommodations needing to be considered.

The best time. The property is great. Super secluded and quiet. A large oak tree provides perfect shade for the camp, and the pond is stocked with bass. There’s a couple trails to walk which offer great scenery. Mary is super nice and accommodating and makes it a seamless stay. We will definitely be back.

My brother and I really enjoyed camping here. Mary was great and very helpful. She has put a LOT of work into making this spot a great place to stay. There are trails to explore, a healthy pond to swim / fish in, a very clean porta john, picnic table, water jug and more! Will definitely be back to camp at this amazing spot. Thanks Mary!

We loved the property! Very private and secluded. Our family of four, and two pups, absolutely had a blast. The kids loved floating, swimming, and fishing in the pond. Mary was a great host!

Great secluded camping site!!! There was a very large tree that was perfect for two tents and the picnic table. The fire pit was under a beautiful star filled sky and the pond was perfect and gave our dogs a chance to wade/ swim. Great spot, we will definitely be back.

This was one of my best Hipcamp experiences. It is a completely wild and natural setting. You have all the room you could want and access to a natural pond by your camp site. Mary is an informative and kind host as well. The Grove of large oak trees is spectacular on the "stoic oak" trail. Look forward to stopping in again.

We had a peaceful time tent camping with our 2 dogs. The area is very private. Mary was very responsive and easy to get ahold of, but respected your privacy at the same time.

My family (me, my husband and 3 kids - 1yo, 3yo, 5yo) had a wonderful stay. The space is peaceful and secluded. It is very thoughtfully cared for from having a picnic table and trashcan onsite to the cleanest portapotty I've ever come across. We will definitely be back!

Mary was a great host and the property is beautiful! They had gotten a lot of rain but she did her best to clear the muck and accommodate us. Our pups thoroughly enjoyed running around the property and we felt very safe! We will definitely be coming back!

Even though we were unable to stay at Creeky Oak due to weather from hurricane Helene, we were impressed with Mary’s thoughtfulness and communication. The sight looked amazing! We will definitely try it out again when the weather is better. It’s a dog’s (and human’s) dream nature escape.

We had a a wonderful experience at croaky oak! The directions to the site were accurate and clear. Mary was kind and helpful at our arrival, welcoming us and directing us to our site. The site is beautiful and well maintained. We thoroughly enjoyed watching and listening to the frogs by the pond, and our pup enjoyed a nice dip! It was a refreshing and peaceful experience!

Lovely spot for tent camping! We were able to take our dog who can be a bit reactive to other dogs, and he did great. The porta john is a nice touch as well. Lots of room and a gorgeous view. Mary, the host, is a wonderful person too, and we will absolutely be back:)

Absolutely perfect Mary has done a great job, down to the finest detail, and you could not ask for a more gracious or accommodating host. The porta potty is stocked with TP and hand sanitizer and automatically lit both inside and out at night. The campsite has a large picnic table, fire pit with wood supplied, a trash can, and grill. While there is no water hookup, Mary provided a water cube. The land itself is wonderful, with wildflowers, pheasants, wild turkeys, hummingbirds and even a mink! There is a small pond with loads of sunfish and frogs. There is also a short but very pleasant mowed walking path into the woods.
