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

Shaded Oasis

Picturesque primitive campsites that should stay somewhat cooler over the summer under that dreamy canopy of trees. Made some cozy fires and had a peaceful few nights in nature. Definitely will be back.

7 Lake and Forest Camping

Great Weekend Away

We loved tent camping here! It was a great spot for our young family. My boys had lots of fun exploring along the nearby trail and searching for frogs around the lake. It was an easy drive from Columbus and was a lovely weekend escape without requiring a lot of time in the car. We will definitely camp here again!

Site 2 - Lake and Forest Camping

My girlfriend and I loved it. It was very peaceful and we got to explore and make our own adventures every day. Richard was very welcoming and nice and let us do our thing. Would highly recommend!

We had the best time at Richard’s! Each time we return we are reminded of Flying J’s farm beauty and peace. Keep coming back.

8 The Chapel

We loved camping in the chapel tent! The site was nice and spacious, land was beautiful and owner was very kind! Would definitely recommend! Only suggestion- it would be nice if the poison ivy at the sites was cleared but other than that it was great!
