Welcome to Sawdust FarmCamp! Located in Geneva, Ohio. We have four different sites to choose from: one tent site, two glamping tent sites, and one cabin.
NEW 2025! The Nature Mindfulness Hike, where we find a deeper connection to nature, is now included with your stay. It is held every Saturday at 4:30 p.m.
Need some additional relaxation? Book a Reiki Healing at the Jug House next to the pond for an extra fee. Reiki is a Japanese stress reduction and relaxation technique that promotes healing. Contact your host for availability before booking.
We also have the option to book all our sites for a 15-person retreat, with special extras only available for that booking, including a pavilion teepee tent.
Portable toilets are available, pets are welcome, and campfires are permitted.
Potable water and hot water showers are only available at our cabin, and our glamping sites only have solar camp showers (not the tent site New hot showers are being planned for the 2024 season.
Naturalist Isabelle H. Klein wrote a collection of letters from her home of Sawdust (named form the sawdust left by the loggers of the early 60’s) for the Cleveland Museum of Natural History’s Explorer Magazine from the winter of 1969 to the summer of 1976.
They then were published as the book “Letters From Sawdust” by the Press of Case Western Reserve University for the Museum. It is a lyrical voyage through the seasons at the Sawdust Tract in Northeast Ohio. She details encounters with the wildlife of the area as well as the changing seasons and plant life. Reminiscent of Thoreau's writings about Walden.
In 1978 an additional house was moved onto the property from Sidley's gravel pit and joined with the existing Klein farmhouse. We decided to preserve almost 400 acres of the property with the help of the Western Reserve Land Conservatory for the Cleveland Museum Of Natural History, Natural Areas. Forest is home to the red-sided dace, and 10 rare species of birds, including cerulean warblers.
The original small family farm and surrounding woods we have retained are being restored and updated.
We are proud to call Sawdust home and would love to share it with you.
Very beautiful site, and not far from the highway! We would definitely consider staying again, but would hope the pit toilet would be a little more empty on our next visit, we had to pass on using it this time because of how full it was.. otherwise it was a quiet, lovely place to stay
We loved camping here! The land was private and beautiful and the pond was lovely. Lots of lovely nature sounds and just a short drive to Geneva! The wineries are all very close by and the beach is about 20 min away at Geneva state park! Theirs is a cat named Cinnamon and he is just the sweetest thing and he LOVES to cuddle but beware he loves meat and might try to join you for dinner. Can’t wait to see this camp grow in the coming years and the permaculture farm to come together! Fantastic stay!
We loved camping here! The land is absolutely beautiful and it was so quiet and peaceful. We would definitely recommend it for anyone wanting a quiet little getaway. It was about a 20-minute drive to the stores (Walmart, Giant Eagle, etc) if you need anything!
We loved every moment of our short camping trip. I wish we could’ve stayed longer. Absolutely stunning surroundings with beautiful wildlife all around. We fell asleep to the sounds of frogs birds and other creatures. We loved watching the birds fish right from our site. The outhouses were a bonus. We cooked dinner over the fire- after shopping at the meat locker on 534 for beef jerky and wine from m cellars. This was a perfect night. Thank you for sharing your beautiful property!
