let's go camping

low frills camping

Explore the wilderness without breaking the bank. Nestled in the heart of Tranquility Wilderness Area in a dark sky zone, our farm offers fantastic views of the starry sky on clear nights. Stargaze, light up a campfire, get away from it all or spend some quality time with those closest to you.

Reservations for campsites and the cottage may be made via Hipcamp:

accessible & eco-conscious

Going camping or glamping shouldn't break the bank! We are against the rampant price gouging in the recreational rental industry and believe the outdoors should be accessible to all.

We keep sites priced low so we're able to provide camping experiences to as many visitors as possible. This means we are not typically able to offer discounts on our regular rates, however those with financial limitations may contact us for information on camping grants from our partner nonprofit.

Our eco-conscious farm runs on rainwater collection--we have no access to town water in our remote location. This means we are a waterwise facility, and are unable to offer water-intensive services such as linens and towels. Please pack accordingly, be thrifty with your on site water use, and let us know about any water leaks you observe in camp facilities.

camp amenities

Here's what you can expect to find once you arrive:

  • Every site:
    You'll find a fire ring and picnic table at our well spaced sites, with lots of elbow room between you and potential neighbors (though typically we only have one camping group on site at a time)
  • Restroom facilities:
    Our outhouse and/or porto potty will be available depending on number of campers on site
  • Shower facilities:
    Our outdoor camp shower is open seasonally from the last date of frost in the spring through the first date of frost in the autumn
  • Camp kitchen:
    The camp kitchen has a sink, counters, and multiple grills to help you prepare fantastic outdoor feasts
  • Recreation options:
    Add on a hot tub pass if you're feeling a relaxing soak, take a refreshing swim in the pond, hike through our wood, or explore the myriad parks and outdoor attractions in the southern Ohio area

Please note due to being a waterwise farm operating entirely on rainwater collection, we do not provide towels for swimming, the hot tub, or the Cottage, or sheets for the Cottage or Spacebus.

nonprofit connected

We're not trying to payout shareholders on your dime; cooperatives a nonprofit business structure in Ohio, and a portion of our proceeds helps support our partner nonprofit's artist residency programs >.
