Weekend Trip to The Lake at the Flying J Farm

Flying J Farm is an incredible place. We reserved all 8 of the sites and had a school trip and family camp out. Booking again for the summer and fall- now!

Weekend Trip to The Lake at the Flying J Farm

A nice quiet place to camp. I will definitely return in the future when I want to unplug and get away.

1 night at The Lake at the Flying J Farm

The chapel was the perfect quick getaway. Not having to pack a tent was great and a little weather came in during the early morning but my son never even woke up. Richard came out and introduced himself and made sure we had everything taken care of. There was some good fishing and it was very comfortable. Will definitely be back

2 nights at The Lake at the Flying J Farm

I loved camping at Flying J. Farm. The owner was really nice and the campsite was beautiful. Inside the cabin, where the shower and water is accessible, there's many interesting pictures and stories to read about. Such as the story about how the cabin was built; which was an enjoyable read! Overall, me, my girlfriend and our friend enjoyed our whole stay there!

Weekend Trip to The Lake at the Flying J Farm

One of the best camp sites we have been to. We did some hot tent camping so we were the only ones on the land, but even in the summer it seems like the sites have plenty of privacy. Nice views of the lake and giant fire pits were awesome. We plan to return in the summer or fall. Thanks Richard

I've stayed at Flying J now 3 times and at 3 different sites. They have all been great! Highly recommended!

Weekend Trip to The Lake at the Flying J Farm

I love my camping experience at the lake at flying j farm did so hiking fishing the pond it was kind of cold so didn't catch anything but the view on the lake was relaxing...I would recommend the location to all my coworkers

2 nights at The Lake at the Flying J Farm

My stay at flying J Farms on site 3 was perfect. The secluded campsite made me feel like I was a million miles away from everything. I especially loved how well kept and spacious everything was. I'd definitely stay here again.

Weekend Trip to The Lake at the Flying J Farm

This site was super nice and easy to get to by car to unload. This site is further away from the other tent sites and already has a picnic table and fire pit handy. It is in the wooded area which made it feel more peaceful and made it easy to find wood for the fire. Our dog loved being able to run around and hike with us. It is super easy to get lost though, so always make sure you stay within site of the path. With it being fall, the leaves made it difficult to find the path but was absolutely stunning.

Weekend Trip to The Lake at the Flying J Farm

Natural settings and choice of semi open and wooded sites. Flushing toilet in the public cabin was good to have. Land is well maintained. View of the pond from site 3 is awesome. Definitely warrants a revisit.

2 nights at The Lake at the Flying J Farm

I loved this spot the fire ring was so nice and plenty of trees to hammock with ! Hiking trails were also a great touch! Super quiet. Except for the wildlife which we loved. You will need to bring your own firewood. This is my second time staying and I will be back

The Lake at the Flying J Farm

8 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents250 acres · Johnstown, OH

Good news! Open fire ban lifted, camp fires are ok now! 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. 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. Wild Life. There is an abundance of wildlife to be observed on the farm. Deer can be seen at dusk, raccoons can be seen going through your camp food at night (if you put it in your car), turkeys, hawks, vultures, rabbits, coyotes (heard screaming at night), frogs (especially heard at night), fish (jumping), and many song birds (my favorite, the bobolink, May and June only, nesting in the pastures).
