The Flying J Farm is 250 beautiful rolling acres including 100 acres of forest, 6-acre lake small pond, three streams, and numerous fields for crops and pastures with cows, horses and chickens. The owner bought the farm in 1998 for his retirement from a faculty position at the Ohio State university. Two buildings, the farm house and old barn, are original dating back to 1831. These have been restored for current use. The mission of the farm is to restore health both in people though the products produced and in the land by farming in a sustainable way with no conventional chemicals, antibiotics, and use of GMO. We host many visitors including tours and events. An on farm market is available to visitors for purchase of our products including grass-fed beef, maple syrup, and fruits and vegetables. The cabin was built using wood from the farm. It has off-grid electricity meaning it is powered by batteries charged by solar panels. There is not sufficient power for devices with a heating element such as coffee makers and hair dryers. You may charge cell phones. For any other use, please check with the owner.

Site 1 - Lake and Forest Camping
My overnight stay at the farm was a pleasant surprise! My dog even got his first interaction with cows. While the other sites were occupied, they were spaced out enough to not be an issue. The site was well cleared and the perfect distance from the lake. I plan to visit again!

Site 4 - Lake and Forest Camping
Great spot! Really nice to be tucked away in the trees on the lake. Great having access close by to a bathroom as well. The site was somewhat far away from others so a bit private which was nice!

7 Lake and Forest Camping
We really enjoyed tent camping on Dick's property. Site 7 was a great little spot tucked away in the woods with a decent amount of privacy and plenty of space.

Our favorite home away from home
It's always a pleasure to come to Flying J for a few days. There's plenty of space and privacy, and it's just beautiful in all the seasons. Love to see the way it's evolved over the years. We look forward to coming back again and again.

Site 6 - Lake and Forest Camping
Clean, quiet, manicured camp sites
The land was very well kept, the camp sites are clearly marked and easy to get to. A little soft and muddy at points, so if it rained recently, drive carefully. Richard was very nice, especially considering our last HipCamp fell through so we requested the booking less than 5 hours before we arrived. There's a pretty lake or river, plenty of space between camp sites, and a communal cabin with a flushable toilet, lights, cooking area, lounging area, and even a wood fired brick oven! I was in the area for the eclipse, but I'm ever here again, I'll camp on Richard's land again. Not to mention, my dog LOVED watching the cows as we drove on and off the property.
