Average night stays run around $45, with options dipping as low as $15 if you’re looking to keep things simple. Most sites offer toilets and showers, so you won’t have to rough it. If you want tried-and-tested spots, start with Todd’s Fork Adventures (154 reviews), Orange Moon (152 reviews), or Sweet Spot by Yellow Springs (122 reviews). Most campers stick close to the water or head out for a day on the trails, so plan on plenty of fresh air for both you and your pup.

Great century-old farmhouse with plenty of open sky and land! We’re just 15 minutes from Deer Creek State Park — a beautiful destination set amidst rich farmland. The park features a well-appointed resort, marina, large campground, and 18-hole golf course, all blending perfectly with outdoor activities such as boating, fishing, camping, and hiking. It even has a presidential connection with the historic Harding Cabin. Our site is conveniently located just 15 minutes away, with an easy pull-up concrete pad and full hookups. We’re also only 45 minutes from Columbus and about 1 hour and 15 minutes from Cincinnati, making this the perfect spot to enjoy both country charm and city convenience. Come stay for a night or an extended visit — we’d love to have you!

Learn more about this land: If you are here in the spring through fall, you can expect a "sea of green". We are surrounded by corn, soybeans or some other mid-west crop. It's quiet out here, so enjoy the sunshine. We put out a large garden each year and we'd love your help. Right now, we can only offer primitive camping. Our electric is not operational. If there has been a lot of rain (April and part of May), then the ground is too soft for camping. However, if you just need a spot we have some gravel driveways where you can set up. There are lots of places to visit while you are here. Two large lakes with free public access are about 40 miles away - Lake Loramie and Grand Lake St. Marys. Lake Loramie has a public beach, bicycle rentals, canoes and kayaks. There is a great restaurant across from the State Park.
