Learn more about this land: I'm an artist and my husband and I have a small homestead with chickens and sometimes sheep/goats. Look out for electric netting to keep our herd/flock protected. The lighting over our back field is divine in the late afternoon, or if you prefer a wooded setting, we have a small wooded area across the street from our house. The area is hilly and rather private-- only one neighbor is visible when the trees are leafed out. Electric is accessible from an outlet at the backyard fence or in the barn. We often have fresh veggies and fruit in the garden in the summer, and sometimes extra farm fresh eggs. Nearby (10 minute drive) is Hargus lake, with boat rental and fishing. Also nearby is the Slate Run Historical Farm, (15 minute drive) which is a farm that is fully functioning as a farm from the 1880's with sheep, draft horses, hogs, and poultry at Slate Run Metro park, which has many woodland and wetland trails, as well as a covered bridge and several playgrounds. We are about 35 minutes from the Hocking Hills area, which is one of the most beautiful and unique areas in Ohio.I'm an artist and my husband and I have a small homestead with chickens.

The lighting over our back field is divine in the late afternoon, or if you prefer a wooded setting, we have a small wooded area across the street from our house. We do have roosters, so if you fear their crowing will wake you, we recommend camping in the wooded area across the road, just ask and we can point it out.

We are about 35 minutes from the Hocking Hills area, which is one of the most beautiful and unique areas in Ohio. The area is semi private. There are some other houses around, but they are a distance away. Campers should park behind the blue car in our driveway and can set up anywhere behind our house. While we try to stay on top of poison ivy, it's around, so keep that in mind! There are about 4 acres. Some areas in the back field can be wet, so beware. We don't recommend driving back there if it's been rainy, as the ground can be soft.

What to expect

Tent site

You'll have this Hipcamp all to yourself.

7 guests max

Campfires allowed

Firewood provided, firepit, communal. Please bring your own firewood. We do have firewood, but you need to ask ahead of time to be sure we have dry wood available. A donation in exchange for firewood is appreciated.

Pets allowed

Off leash, on leash. If you bring your pet, please keep them leashed if there's a risk they may jump our electric fence and eat our chickens, or if they are aggressive at all with other dogs or people. We have a dog. She is very friendly, but tends to escape.

No toilet; campers must bring camp toilets

Potable water available

Spigot, hose. There is a spigot at the back of the house, we can show you where. We can also provide filtered water from inside our house.

Wifi available

You can access our wifi from our backyard if you need it. I can supply a password. The wifi signal is only accessible close to our house, but there is a covered area and chairs if you would like to sit and use it.

No showers

Bathe in river or stream. There is small creek, but it's pretty shallow. It would work in a pinch. It's not ideal for bathing. Campers can use our basement shower (this is unventured territory, and it's not a finished basement, but the showered works and has hot water) or the hose if they are desperate ;) Ask us for details.

Perfect!

Tent

We booked this site very last minute and it couldn’t have worked out better! Our host was amazing… her little daughter even picked us some fresh flowers to have by the campfire! Thank you, Mabel!

Absolutely amazing experience at this homestead! From the moment I arrived (even earlier than planned, which they graciously accommodated), I felt welcomed. The host was incredibly kind and made sure everything was perfect for my stay. The campsite itself was peaceful, well-kept, and a great place to relax. You can tell they put a lot of care into making it a great spot for guests. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a unique and comfortable camping experience. I’ll definitely be back!

It was a "Slice of Paradise"

Tent

Kyla's property and welcoming attitude made this a great place to camp. Fireflies at night, option of camping sites, prompt responses to messages, and delicious farm-fresh eggs made this property stand out.

We enjoyed our stay on Kyla's lovely property! We were lucky to have a perfect summer day, and the light shines through the trees there in such a beautiful way. Kyla and her daughter were such friendly hosts!

Came for my partners birthday and had the greatest time! Their backyard is an open field surrounded by tall trees and we were able to set up camp on a cozy flat space. Tons of firewood and eggs were available to us as well as an extension cord for our vhs tv :) We will definitely come back as it was a short drive to hocking hills and was the best place for bird and weasel watching! They even left a cute birthday flower bouquet! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

Sweet spot

Tent

A lovely little spot. Fairly private and nestled behind some farm buildings. Lovely host, and the fresh chicken eggs were worth the trip!
