Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is great for families and kids.

Earth Song Farm is an organic, bio-dynamic farm growing a variety of produce, chicken, eggs and more. We are also a teaching center and a host farm for volunteers looking to experience homesteading, off-grid living, organic growing and hydroponic techniques. Discovery Park provides a creative free-play setting for kids to learn, discover and grow. A naturopathic wellness center at the farm offers health assessment, iris analysis and botanical herbs to help people dealing with health issues. Learn more about this land: Nestled within the 10-acre organic farm that hosts Earthsong Farm and Discovery Park is an authentic American Indian tipi camping experience. An extra large party tipi ("Great Gatherings") is available for larger groups as a daytime rental or for overnight stays (up to 18 people). This tipi is on a woodchip base for a more primitive authentic experience and has optional cots and chairs for your use. In the fenced Tipi Village compound area there is a large Tipi on a wooden deck, a small play tipi for kids and 2 more tipis under construction. The Tipi is adorned with native American Indian decor and furnished with one queen size bed, bedside table and camp chair. Optional cots available, offering sleep accommodations for a total of 5 -6 people. Tipi Village is equipped with a shared outdoor kitchen and dining area, including a gas barbeque grill and fresh spring water. There is also an instant-heat outdoor shower available. A family-friendly fire pit with surrounding seating is a centralized spot for drum circles, late night marshmallows, and evening conversations. At night you'll see fireflies and hear plenty of crickets, bullfrogs and singing tree frogs. During the day, a special archery area offers targets and tomahawk throwing. You've always wanted to try a bow and tomahawk! Just outside the Tipi Village fence awaits "Discovery Park" for the kids... the "Best Playground Ever!" The park includes kid powered train cars, gem mining, dual zip lines, a real fire truck, woods to explore, a shallow lagoon to take a raft across and much more. Look up DiscoveryParkOhio to see more details. Schedule a tour of the farm to see the animals, greenhouses and an off-grid EarthShip. A walk through the old-growth forest brings a quiet sense of peace and a genuine earthing connection. An old-fashioned General Store offers seasonal organic produce, herbal tinctures and teas, bulk foods, goat milk soap, honey, maple syrup, jams, wooden toys, free-range chickens and eggs, plus much more. Down the road, complimenting the experience of Tipi Village, is the Log Cabin Shop: a muzzle-loading, early American craft & used bookstore.

"Great Gatherings" huge Tipi

Overall the place was nice and welcoming however sleeping was a nightmare due to a dog possibly a neighbors dog barking ALL night long! Couldn’t get any sleep.

"Horse" Tipi in Tipi Village

Just not what was expected!

Accommodations were advertised with a hot outdoor shower, which they didn’t have. Safety concerns due to no outdoor lighting, no tools to build a fire, tipi was dark due to no lighting so had to run to dollar store for a lantern. Just seemed unkept and needed some tlc. Host was friendly and helpful.

Chicken therapy

We loved it! We were the only ones there, as the forecast (incorrectly, thankfully) predicted lighting. Lots of things to do, we really loved the chickens, especially. What neat, goofy, little creatures. My friend and I felt like we could enjoy ourself and experience a little bit of a childlike sense of joy and wonder.

Cute and friendly.

Stephen is very nice and has created a nice space for children here. I’m inspired by the work he’s done. The smaller tipis have beds, sheets etc but the big tipi doesnt. It was a little loud from the neighbor.

"Great Gatherings" huge Tipi

We loved our adventure here! We stayed in the big teepee which had more than enough space for us (three adults, one kid, one baby). Next time we’d bring a tarp to lay down our sleeping stuff on, or even bring and set up our six person tent inside the teepee - which we could do and still have plenty of space to move around. The Discovery Park was perfect for the toddler to play at while the adults relaxed. We went for the 2024 eclipse and loved everything. It’s so close to Cuyahoga National Park and it’s tucked away nicely from most of civilization. The hosts were so accommodating and helpful with anything we needed. I would definitely recommend this area to anyone who loves camping and existing in nature.

"Wolf" Tipi in Tipi Village

Got the Wolf Tipi to watch the 2024 Eclipse roll through in totality! Wonderful experience around the community bonfire with other campers, fresh eggs in the morning, and an immersive and imaginative playground for my 5 year old. Lots of fun!
