Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is great for families and kids.

Grins & Pickin's CampFarm was created to share the outdoors with others. Growing food & flowers, camping & hiking is what we like to do. And we like sharing these activities with others. Our family oriented outdoor recreation facility is open on weekends only and offers primitive camping, PYO produce during the growing season, homesteading activities & nature-based programs. The peaceful 20-acre country farm has food gardens, a frog habitat pool, a barnyard for the chickens & ducks, a bluegill fishin' pond, a pollinator maze, a prairie garden, and an outdoor stage. After crossing a winding creek into 10 acres of woods, you may see deer, turkey, fox, coyote, mink, eagles & barred owls. In early spring, the peepers are peeping, wildflowers are abundant & the vernal pools welcome the wood frogs, salamanders and fairy shrimp. Summer brings on the bullfrogs, butterflies, dragonflies and fireflys. Fall is a great time to pull grapevine to make wreaths & to build stick forts in the woods. We cater to the tent camper so that we can hear frogs & owls instead of generators. But, there is an RV section up front for those with quiet generators with several feet of gravel under the grass to hold the weight of your camper. We charge by the carload & there are different rates for driving back toward the woods for camping depending on the number of wheels & the weight of your vehicle (a factor on the wear & tear on the land). We believe in going outside to play, growing & eating fresh food, strengthening family bonds and promoting the awareness of our natural resources. PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: 1) The speed limit is 5 mph as soon as you enter the property (kids & dogs are quick to dart in front of you). 2) As a state registered campground, it is mandatory that you check in at the house to fill out a Registration Form before heading to your campsite. 3) No glass allowed anywhere on the property (we don't want our feet or paws cut open and can do without flat tires). 4) Children under 18 must be attended to at all times for their safety (the frog pool is 10' deep, the pond is 8-10' deep depending on rains, and the creek can turn into a churning river). Thank you!

Beautiful place!

This site was amazing especially for the eclipse, we stayed at site 21 on the back end of the farm which was beautiful. This was our first time camping at a multi-site with other camper but it still felt private,safe and peaceful. The host was amazing with making sure we had what we needed and were comfortable. Even when we got our truck stuck in the mud she did everything thing in her power to make sure we got out. We really enjoyed our stay and plan to camp here again when picking season comes around!

overall great experience except the fact we were under the impression that these were drive up camp sites and we were asked not to drive up due to it being muddy even though we have a 4x4 vehicle more than capable of driving to the campsite. had no notification that we would have to pack all of our camping supplies to our site until we were there checking in.

Lovely!

Christy's Totality 2024 Camp Out was AMAZING! What a lovely community, beautiful trails and creek, kind animals and very organized camping set up. I enjoyed Ohio more than I ever knew I could because of this Grins and Pickins farm and the local town! :)

Total Solar Eclipse Weekend

We drove down from Cleveland to enjoy the solar eclipse. We arrived on Saturday morning. It was after a rain, so the ground was extremely muddy. We got stuck in the mud. Christy was very accommodating and helpful. She provided us kitty litter and all as well!! Please be aware that if it has rained you may have to walk in. Despite being stuck we still had a wonderful time! For me personally, my fav part was being able to get my own fire wood. It added a primitive aspect to our trip! Can’t wait to return in the summer.
