Good alternative to John Bryan
This ended up being the perfect solution for a last minute getaway. The property was pretty much what I expected from the listing and reading other peoples reviews. The one helpful tip I will leave here is If you click the link to the Maps location, it takes you specifically to the GPS coordinates of the camp spot which for me suggested to enter from the wrong side, which was someone else’s property entirely on a different street. I would recommend simply typing the address into your GPS that took us where we needed to go. Other things to note the driveway is very steep and covered in gravel. My car is not all wheel drive but I did not have a problem getting up the driveway. The campsite is indeed a nice sized circle cut out of the trees. It has a nice bamboo wall and feels very private when you walk out to the main road the hosts house is visible, but once you step on the trail to the campsite, it feels very secluded much more so than had we stayed at the booked up State park campsite.
Other things to note, this is primitive camping literally a fire ring inside of a cleared out space in the backwoods of someone’s property and yes, it is on a major road, so if things like wet grass, and the occasional traffic whizzing by 55mph is a dealbreaker for you then you may want to consider a more expensive property with amenities or a larger chunk of land.
Personally, I thought it was a great value and would consider booking again in the future.

Private but noisy
Pros: Very private, beautiful scenery(lots of black walnut trees and bamboo.)
Cons: Traffic noise, over grown entrance and around spring house, lawn and fire pit maintenance was poor. Not really for us.

Spot is as-advertised and has easy in and out. Quite private, too.

Love this little oasis
Beautiful property!! Nice and secluded. Our site was a circle cut into nature itself. It was a magical experience

Great location!
Yellow Springs is a great town with awesome hiking around it, so we very much appreciated the location for this Hip camp. Having no outhouse/ shade was a little rough, but we made due. I believe the hosts are installing an outhouse which will greatly improve the campsite. A small shaded area would also be nice for summer camping - or guests could bring a shade tarp.
