Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is romantic.
Come relax atop the Appalachian foothills of southern Ohio. Enveloped in the heart of the Tranquility Wilderness Area, our 11-acre property features a mix of native pawpaw, peach, pear, and persimmon trees, deciduous forest, cedar woods, wild meadows, a small swimming pond, and a large accessible field for tents and space to play. Trails through the woods are being developed, and facilities expand gradually with the seasons. Enjoy the mellow soundtrack of birds, crickets, and frogs, along with incredibly clear night skies ideal for stargazing. Nearby, visitors can enjoy hiking, kayaking, biking, birding, foraging, fishing, hunting, and swimming on site and at several state parks and historic sites within 10–30 minutes of the farm. Amish country is close, with bakeries, markets, furniture shops, and greenhouses. Our primitive campsites are spaced for privacy. A gravel parking area is available near the Cottage, with additional grass parking in the upper field. Sites may be walk-in only depending on weather and ground conditions. We hope you'll enjoy sharing the orchard, meadows, forest, and pond with us. Home Afarm is a rustic, eco-conscious retreat — perfect for quiet reflection, nature immersion, and small gatherings under the stars. "Roads go ever ever on, under cloud and under star. Yet feet that wandering have gone turn at last to home afar(m)."

There's a secret clearing in the woods just off the northwest corner of the upper field across from the beehives. Set up your tent in the woods, or take advantage of the deep shade near the treeline to be able to sleep in and still get those fantastic sunrise views.

Bring your RV, trailer, or camper van and choose from several graveled or grassy sites at the front of the property. Home Afarm offers pristine dark sky camping atop an Appalachian foothill, nestled in the heart of the Tranquility Wilderness Area. Our 11 acres include native pawpaw and persimmon trees, deciduous forest, cedar woods, wild meadows, and a quarter-acre swimming pond — perfect for foraging, exploring, or quiet reflection. The driveway loop allows for easy camper pull-through with up to 75' of parking and plenty of summer shade to keep your site cool. Grassy sites are available just left of the barn near the fire ring, or within the center of the gravel loop itself. While the loop is adjacent to the Cottage and house, the RV site itself is exclusive to one camper at a time, making setup straightforward for larger rigs. Water, Waste & Amenities There are no hookups or trash service — please plan to pack out your waste. Water is available from our rainwater collection system and a local spring; guests should bring their own drinking water. Fire rings are available, and deadfall on-site can be used for fires. Do not transport firewood from other counties, as this may be prohibited by law. Guest Access & Experience Campers have access to the shared outdoor spaces of Home Afarm, including trails, the pond, and farm meadows. Home Afarm is rustic, eco-conscious, and community-minded, hosting monthly arts, flow arts, and creative events. This is a quiet, nature-focused retreat — perfect for enjoying the forest, wildlife, and dark skies of southern Ohio.

    This is such a lovely spot to camp out at. My girlfriend and I and our puppy had a great time. The pond was so cute and perfect for yoga. The shower experience was super cool at night with the cool lights. The hot tub was so relaxing, watching the stars at night. Thank you so much. Kona loved exploring.

    We had a wonderful stay. It was very peaceful and a nice change of pace. The host was quick to respond and helpful when I became concerned about the weather. The swimming pond ended up being a relief in the hot weather.
