Farley’s Farm Sanctuary is a grassroots 501c3 nonprofit animal sanctuary located on 5 acres in Swanton, OH. The campsite is located in the heart of the woods. This is a hike in primitive camp site (about 1/4 mile walk depending where you park) . We have a wagon and wheelbarrows available for use for hauling stuff back to the site. All money raised from this camp site goes back into building our sanctuary and provides ongoing care for our rescued animals! Oak Openings Metropark (including HEAVY Brewery) is located less than 5 miles away and offers a plethora of outdoor activities. Also located nearby is Johnston’s Fruit Farm (apple picking, pumpkin patch, fresh cut flowers, etc.) Tano’s Pizza (we recommend V-6 without cheese plus breadsticks no parm) and China Garden (vegetable tofu!) will deliver food here. The campsite includes a fire pit and composting toilet!Pitch your tent on the cleared area behind the fire pit. There is a composting toilet available that includes instructions for use posted on the wall. Feel free to have a fire! A few chairs and a table are available at the site. You will be surrounded by trees! The campsite is located off of a loop trail in the middle of the woods.

Melanie’s farm rescue is a beautiful place. The camping spot is perfect and secluded with a nice flat, soft tent space. Just a couple minute walk from the car. We enjoyed our stay and were grateful for the hospitality.

Great site! Very secluded back in the woods. Worth the walk back from the road.

Great secluded camp!

Tent

Husband and I needed a night away from the city and the toddler! This was the perfect setting we had a great host who introduced us to the many lovely creatures critters and friends that live on the property. It's a working rescue and very welcoming. It was a great little hike back to the campsite and it was all perfect for what we needed.

I actually did not make it to Melanie’s because of traveling challenges, however she was very understanding and more than gracious offering me a refund and safe travels. I hope to visit her and the camp in the future. Many thanks Melanie, -Jenny

Camping along critter care - cool!

Tent

Nice remote site. It was wonderful talking with Melanie and seeing her pride and passion for the work and critter care she provides. As a great host, she gave me a heads up on the mosquitoes on site due to the recent rains. It was no more than I had at home and they had a good supply of fire wood to keep them at bay.
