Learn more about this land: Welcome to One Earth Collaborative, a 12-acre land restoration project where nature, community, and creativity come together. Our land is cared for by artists, naturalists, musicians, educators, and land stewards who share a passion for restoring ecosystems and creating meaningful connections with the natural world.
The property stretches from the remains of the historic bridge to the Oregonia Road bridge along the Little Miami River. You’ll find open fields, an organic garden, seasonal sunflowers, and a beautiful riverside forest filled with towering sycamores, cottonwoods, and other native trees.
All campsites are primitive and designed to immerse you in nature. Trails begin near the firewood area and lead to tent sites tucked throughout the forest and along the river.
Our central fire pit serves as a shared gathering space for campfires, music, conversation, and community. A staircase provides access to the river for all guests to enjoy.
To help everyone have a peaceful experience, please set up your tent within a reasonable distance of the main fire pit while still allowing neighboring campers privacy. We ask that all guests respect the land, fellow campers, and the quiet beauty of this shared space.
Whether you’re here to unplug, paddle the river, explore the woods, listen to birdsong, or simply relax beneath the trees, we hope you’ll feel at home here.

Welcome to Dirk and Lori's Riverside Acres
This is our home, our pride and joy, and we are so excited to share it with you. We've opened our backyard to give you an authentic, primitive, natural outdoor camping experience right along the river. In return, we ask that you respect our land, our river, and our family.
We welcome you to enjoy the tranquility of our peaceful, wooded 5-acre retreat along the Little Miami State and National Scenic River. Located in Warren County, “Ohio’s largest playground,” we are just 3 miles upriver from the quaint river town of Morrow, Ohio, and 2 minutes from the Little Miami Scenic Bike Trail.
We offer secluded natural primitive camping, the way nature intended it to be. Fall asleep to the sounds of river rapids and hooting owls, then wake up refreshed and rejuvenated under century-old sycamore trees. Our spacious campsites give you access to your private river frontage and our 5 acres of wooded trails for campers to explore. Our property offers the perfect blend of tranquil waterside camping and forest adventure while maintaining easy access to local amenities.
Our camping mission is to connect our guests with the river and nature in a respectful, sustainable way. “Enjoy the wildlife, don’t become it.” We’re not a party destination, but rather a sanctuary for nature and for campers who appreciate the quiet beauty of a riverside camping experience.
What We Offer
We provide four primitive camping sites on the banks of the Little Miami River, with two primitive camping cabins coming soon. Guests have access to 5 of our 11 acres of peaceful woods with walking trails to explore. Each site accommodates up to 6-8 guests, two leashed dogs, and three vehicles. Portable toilet facilities are available on-site, and we maintain a quiet, generator-free environment for authentic outdoor experiences. Our land is a prime location for fishing, tubing, swimming, and river activities, situated just minutes from Lebanon and Morrow.

Pack your essentials and escape to the Little Miami River Valley's best kept secret. Our campsite offers over an acre of space and is situated on a total 14 acres along the National and Scenic Little Miami River.
Once here, you'll park next to the farmhouse and take a 4 minute hike over the creek, through the meadow, and into the woods. *Driving to the site is an option if you have 4WD and the ground is not too wet. Exceptions for 2WD can be made if the weather forecast and ground conditions permit.
The campsite is shaded by large Sycamore, Walnut, and other native trees. Take a dip in the river, enjoy people watching as canoeist pass, or take part with a canoe or kayak rental from a nearby business (within 3 miles). The Little Miami Trail is also less than a mile down the road so bring your bike! The composting outhouse is serviced between each stay, meaning it's emptied, sanitized, and like new for each new guest. *Depending on your group size, the host may need to service/empty the outhouse once daily. There are two established campfire locations and a picnic table is provided.
*This is a family residence. The hosts live onsite and although you will not see them from your site, you will likely hear kids/adults playing outside and possibly weekend tasks such as mowing/weed eating/etc. Other "noise pollution" may come from canoeists passing by or the gun/ATV riding club which is a 1/4 mile down the river. That said, overall it remains rather quiet and you should find your stay peaceful : )
Add-ons include:
- Small table top propane grill ($15)
- Tent rental/setup ($30)
- Firewood ($10/bundle) (roughly 10 pieces/bundle)

For your comfort and convenience, we provide amenities such as a fire pit, picnic table, outhouse with a sink, and an outdoor shower*. Whether you're roasting marshmallows around the fire or enjoying a picnic by the creek, our campsite offers the perfect setting for relaxation and rejuvenation. We assure you that the tranquil setting and natural beauty of our farm make it well worth the visit.
Our small hobby farm adds to the charm of your stay with Highlander cows, potbellied pigs, a hen, turkeys, peacocks, and a garden to explore. Feel free to bring along your furry friends, as long as they are friendly with our animals. There is electric fencing around both pastures.

It is not located at the campsite, but you can see it from the campsite and get to it by a short walk. It is solar-powered so the water temperature is weather dependent.

Travelers, wanderers, students, naturalists, collaborators, creators, and the curious - stopping by or settling in - you’re in for a retreat beyond the ordinary!
Artemis Gardens BnB is more than just a place to sleep (in cozy, enchanting bedrooms) and eat (delicious food the host makes for you). It’s an eclectic oasis nestled within nature, infused with art, and just a few miles from Dayton - very convenient if you’re attending an event or visiting someone in Ohio!
I live on the property in a separate cabin, with three indoor cats - Artemis, Luna, and Nemo. They can hang with you or I can keep them away depending on your preference. When I book individual rooms, I fix breakfast for my guests. When the entire cabin is booked, I can still provide breakfast or you can have the place all to yourself. You’ll always have my contact info and I won’t be too far away.
Nature is strong here. The cabin is rustic, some of the native plants can be prickly, and pollinators are everywhere - including the honeybees with stingers (who live in three different natural hives on the property).
In other words, stay aware of your surroundings.
• Stroll among the flowers, fresh air, and sounds of nature.
• Enjoy homemade breakfast noms in the sunroom.
• Check out a book from the home library.
• Get the band back together in the music lounge.
• Dip into the art supplies if inspiration strikes.
• Close the curtains and nap anytime in your own private bedroom made for a goddess.
• Gather your friends, book all three of the rooms, and reconnect for a weekend.
• Meet new friends by mingling with fellow guests in the safe, inclusive shared spaces.
• It’s only five miles back to the BnB if you’re going to a show at Rose Music Center.
• Take a five minute drive to see Charleston Falls and hike.
• Need a picnic packed or candlelight dessert setup? You got it.
• Build a fire outside.
• Craft culinary creations in the stocked and equipped kitchen.
• Finish the novel you started writing.
• Finish the tv show you started watching.
• Enjoy the view of the stars from the back deck or while perched in the Lyra hoop in the sunroom.

Our beautiful 1800’s cabin was moved to the property in the 1970’s by a former neighbor who owned the property at the time. The same neighbor also had a historic train depot moved to the property where she sold antiques out of for several years. It is not sure what the cabin was used for at that time but it certainly added charm to the antique store property. When we acquired the property years later, the cabin was in need of work. It sat for a few years until we decided to restore this lovely cabin back to it’s beautiful charm and character. Jim spent a couple years on the project working in his free time and added the porch using old wood in keeping with the natural look and feel of the cabin as well as some interior areas. Upon completion, we opened the cabin as a gift shop selling unique items including antiques, primitives and decor for a few years. We decided to transition the cabin into a place of retreat for traveling guests and still keep some of the goods we sold in the shop available for purchase. We hope that you find the cabin and property a place of peace and tranquility and will want to return. Whether passing through for a night or a few days stay, you’re always welcome in our neck of the woods.

**Please read the following travel safety advisories**
===================================================
! ROUTE RESTRICTIONS ! ( State Route 127, Eaton and South)
If traveling here from the South (only on Ohio State Route 127), please note the height restrictions on three roads that connect SR 127 with the parallel Wayne Trace Road. The names of the roads to avoid:
Consolidated (Height restriction 9' 9" under the railroad)
Brower (Height restriction 10' 0" over Seven Mile Creek)
7 Mile Road (Height restriction 10' 6" and very sharp turn to bridge)
Please watch what route electronic devices may may pick avoiding these routes.
A suggested route from traveling North on State Route 127 to Camp Rocky Run is to turn in Camden, OH on State Route 725 and head East to Wayne Trace Road.
!! NOTE on RV types !! You must have a self contained RV with on board restroom facilities. We have no restroom facilities available. For this reason, we do not offer tent camping.
!! NOTE on camp fire location !! The fire ring provided on the shared creek side patio is the only spot a camp fire, of any kind, can be built. (Sorry, but we have had too many damaged spots in the grass from the use of 'portable' fire ring units.)
!! NOTE on Class A RVs with towed vehicle !!
If it is too wet to access the creek side spots, we can still accommodate your stay in the nearby barn driveway but if you are unable to back up with the 'toad' then a detach will be required. Again, this is only if it is too wet to access the creek side camp spots. Generally we will be able to help you back in, but at times we may be away and suggest a helper in guiding you into the barn drive. Note, the barn driveway is not a pull through site.

The property is in the middle of an Amish/Mennonite community, so you'll be able get your fresh produce and other delights as well.
For tent campers, a potty tent can be made available. Please coordinate 96 hours prior to check-in.

Dirk & Lori were wonderful hosts! The campsite was very spacious and situated right along the river surrounded by huge trees. We tent camped and enjoyed the sound of the flowing water lulling us to sleep. We had a great time and would love to come back again. (Also, as other reviewers have mentioned, they have the cleanest, nicest portable toilets I’ve ever seen!) Thank you for a perfect Fall camping weekend!

We had a lovely time car camping at site 1 for a night! The hosts (and their two sweet dogs) were very accommodating and allowed us flexibility in surveying the other open sites. We ultimately stuck with site 1 because it had a good view of the creek from the fire pit and the sounds of the running water were super relaxing to fall asleep to. Had it not started raining mid way through our stay, this site would have been perfect to hang up a hammock. This spot is fairly close to a railroad track but noise was negligible. A hidden gem for sure (:

We stayed here for 4 nights, Wednesday through Sunday, and honestly had a great time. If you enjoy primitive camping, getting away from everything, and actually being out in nature, I would highly recommend staying here.
The campsites are very spacious, clean, and well maintained, and the property is beautiful. We loved being right along the Little Miami River and having a secluded place to set up camp. There was no power or running water at the sites, which was exactly what we were looking for. It really gave us the chance to slow down, enjoy the fire, cook our meals over the fire, play games at the picnic table, fish, hike, and relax in our hammocks. The Porta-potties were also clean and well maintained.
This is also a great campground if you like to ride bikes. We rode our bikes from our campsite out to the road and over to the recreational trail, then rode the trail into Oregonia. There are a few places to eat along the way, including Little Miami River Bar & Grill, which you can easily ride your bike to or drive to. If you want to go a little farther, you can continue toward Corwin and stop at Little Sprouts Cafe. Morrow is even closer and has a few places to eat if you head south.
We also drove over to Fort Ancient, where we spent quite a bit of time walking around the property, taking some of the hiking trails through the woods, and touring the museum. I would highly recommend that as well if you enjoy hiking, being outdoors, and learning some of the history of the area.
Our first night was especially nice, just sitting around the fire warming up, playing games at the picnic table, and enjoying the quiet. There was only one other group camping while we were there that came on our second night, and they were very respectful. The owners were also very respectful and made us feel welcome.
Dirk was a great host and does a fantastic job taking care of the campground and his guests. I really appreciate him opening up his beautiful property for people to enjoy and camp on. You can tell there is a lot of care put into the property.
We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely be back. My parents also stopped by one day to ride bikes with us and really enjoyed the area as well.
If you’re someone who loves primitive camping, biking, hiking, fishing, campfires, and getting away from the normal day-to-day routine, I would definitely recommend giving this place a try. We couldn’t have asked for a better 4-night getaway, and we’re already looking forward to coming back! 🌲🔥🎣🚲❤️

Stayed one night at Spot 3. Spot three is probably the best spot bc it’s got the most space, creek access, and is open and level. However all the spots look great but are a bit smaller. Extremely quiet and private. Beautiful creek views, had it been warmer would’ve been great to take a dip. Starts were incredible at night. Path was was easy to follow and is firm soil sand and fairly dry. Host was friendly and their dog was too. Overall extremely impressed with this spot and would love to come back for more nights! Hidden gem that I can’t recommend enough!

Camping at the Collective was so lovely! The sites are snuggled under trees by the river, so very private and protected and quiet. Or if you’re worried about access you could camp on the forests edge for no hike at all. There’s a bunch of projects on the property - tree plantings, permaculture garden, onion bag project, beehives - that make it a super interesting place to be. And you are very close to the Little Miami Trail!

Weekend Trip to Cabin and Company (RV site only)
My wife and I had a fantastic experience camping at cabin and company. This was our first time using hip camp and and It will make it difficult to go back to a traditional campground again. No screaming children and dogs fighting all night. Lol. Free firewood and a beautiful setting. Will definitely return.

This was an amazing property! Quiet, (except for the cows mooing..but I'm from the country and find that quite peaceful:) The pond was gorgeous, the land was well maintained. Glenn was helpful and responsive. There is a small rental home nearby, but still far enough away to be private. We will be back!!

This is our all time favorite camping spot. It's so beautiful right on the river. The outhouse is clean and cute and there is plenty of space to be with your people or get away for a quiet moment. Hunter is the best host. Very responsive.

We loved the camping area! It was clean, the gravel area was flat to lay out our tent and the fire ring/picnic table at the site was so convenient.
When we arrived we were assisted with taking back our belongings via golf cart from the owners so it made lugging all of our things to the site a breeze. We are definitely interested in coming back for a longer stay!

Great spot on the river! All 4 sites were occupied, but it still felt like we were secluded, with awesome river views and sounds. The sites are well thought out, and there were plenty of options to set up our rooftop tent. Even the porta-potties were clean!

The views are beautiful, sites felt private. Was easy to locate host provided clear directions. Location is great as you are away from all of the commotion but close enough if you need to run into town.

Very quiet and well maintained. Took two sons, age 14 and 12, we all enjoyed the site, just the right size for us. Next day they fished in a clean pond with the poles provided while I sat in the gazebo. Clean bathroom with a shower. Also snacks and drinks were available for purchase. Will probably camp here again.

Choose a site closest to the lake! The campground offers a variety of "types" or camping spots. Aside from the standard RV or tent sites, you can choose a site close to neighbors, or occupy an area with a private trail leading to the lake for an intimate viewing sunset over the trees and water. Plus, Ohio State Parks offer free launching of your personal watercraft so be sure to bring your canoe, kayak, or paddleboard!

This campground seems to be set up more for RVs and campers, BUT the spot we chose for tent camping was perfect. The restrooms were clean but older. They could definitely do with some updating. But I'll take old and clean over new and dirty. Make sure to check out the activity fliers they hand out. We were able to take our kids canoeing for no charge because the park had free activities that weekend. The kids were comfortable just exploring (we were in a more wooded area of the park) and we even were privileged to watch some bats eat their breakfast at dusk. :) We will be going here again. :
