With over 230 acres, a lake, trails, the Grand River, and plenty of wildlife. Bass and Buck Adventures is the perfect place to get away. Once known as Parkman Gorge the valley was a hub for water powered industry in the early 1800's. The river and valley is home to a wide array of wildlife. Deer, turkey, eagles, hawks, owls, mink, river otters to name a few. The area also attracts many song birds including a wide variety of warblers. There is also an abundance of wild flowers. The valley is rich in Native American history. Many artifacts have been found on the property. My great grandfather talked about the last Native American to live in Parkman had a cabin on one of the bluffs along the river. In the 1820's there was a water powered sawmill and forge on the river. The boy scouts used the valley for a camp in the 1930's. My grandpa purchased this property in the 50's from Ohio Edison. Ohio Edison's plan to dam up the river for hydro power never materialized. The valley has been a favorite for outdoor enthusiasts. Camping, hiking, fishing, hunting, "jeeping". Many of the items used for the camp sites have been reclaimed. The fire rings are old tractor rims and scrap steel. The tent platform is from reclaimed deck lumber. The firewood is excess cutoffs purchased from a local sawmill.

Lake View

Great Campsite and Property!

We love tent camping and this place was exactly what we were looking for. Great site with trails to hike and beautiful property to wander around. Easy to get to and for the first 3 days we didn’t see or hear a single person. We would Absolutely come again!!!

Big Bend adventure

We had a great time camping at Big Bend! Awesome camp site and all the wood we needed during our stay. Did a little fishing on the river for bluegill. Thanks Rick for sharing your place with us. We’re looking forward to another visit in the future!

Big Bend

Great spot and property

Beautiful property overall. It was perfect to "rough" it. We loved the creek that had small but hungry fish in it. Quiet and pristine. Great communication from the host.

Big Bend

Lovely!

Beautiful site with lots of firewood. Enjoyed the fire pit, the river, the big trees and night sky. The road noise was a bit louder than expected so we wore ear plugs. Meeting Rick was lovely as so was learning about the history of the land. There were lots of lovely short walks and viewpoints right by our site too. The Big Bend site was excellent and flat for our car and rooftop tent. We will be back! This was one of the most beautiful sites we have been to in over 2 years of using Hipcamp.

Forge Hill

The perfect campsite!

I can not stress how awesome this site is and how beautiful the grounds are. I booked the Forge Hill site for two nights. The host, Rick, stopped by shortly after we arrived to touch-base and shared some great bits of history about the land. The campsite itself had several level spots and we easily pulled our Subaru and Dodge SUVs into the site and still had plenty of room. It is well shaded and provides plenty of privacy. The view is stunning as it overlooks the grand river. The fire pit is very well maintained and there is plenty of good buring wood a short walk from the site that can be brought back with the available wagons. The picnic table is large and could easily accommodate 4 people. There are plenty of critters...big daddy long leg spiders, white and black caterpillars along with tree frogs and owls that sing at night. There are plenty of trails to walk on the property, there is a pond to catch and release, swim in or take a canoe or paddleboat out. We had a nice relaxing weekend and would definitely book again. Highly recommend!
