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. Now available for all guests propane heated hot water showers located along the drive and a short hike from the sites. Included with your stay; offered by 3 Shanti, a Nature Mindfulness Hike, where we find a deeper connection to nature and yourself. Need some additional relaxation? Book an Energy Session, a stress reduction and relaxation technique, donations welcomed. Contact host to schedule. 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. Hot Showers and portable toilets are available, pets are welcome, and campfires are permitted. 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.

Many campers appreciated the privacy and the sounds of nature, such as frogs and birds, which added to the tranquility of their stay. The hosts are noted for their friendliness and helpfulness, ensuring guests have what they need. A few minor issues were mentioned, like the lack of certain amenities or maintenance, but these did not significantly detract from the overall positive experience.

This was my fourth time staying here. It’s a beautiful, secluded and quiet area but still just minutes from all of the Geneva wineries. The host was very nice and helpful and provided everything we needed for our stay. It was a perfect fall weekend getaway!

Lovely campground with access to the water for fishing, heated showers, and firewood. The hosts were friendly and helpful, and checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. A short walk to the car made it feel like real camping. No noisy neighbors or campsites packed in like sardines. Would love to camp there again!

Beautiful space, very peaceful and perfect for stargazing. It is really off the beaten track, highly recommend getting there when the sun is up and settling in for the night. We may keep it in mind for future space events. There is still a fair amount of light pollution to contend with but it’s still pretty big sky with lots of stars. We say a couple meteors from the Perseids on the one good clear night. Two big ones crisscrossed pretty early in the AM. Thanks for helping us make memories.
