We are located on a quiet winding paved country road that follows a creek on one side. We are about 20 minutes from the 71/35 junction. You can pull into our driveway but will need to back up a short distance to the camping spot. Across the road from us is state fishing access to the creek and I'm told it's one of the best fishing spots in the county. However, I'm not a fisherman so don't take my word for it. While we do not have utilities or a dump available, there is a dump station in town at the local fairgrounds a few minutes away for a small fee. Our camping spot is just in the grass yard so if it is too soft it will be unavailable. Our property is pretty private (we can't see any other houses from our house) so it is a pretty peaceful setting. It also gets really dark at night. We have a few acres and have some trails in the woods if you want to unwind a bit. There is also a small waterfall across the road (assuming there is water running in the stream) that very few people know about.

Lonnie is an engineering manager at a lower limb prosthetics manufacturer. He's fairly handy and likes making modifications and improvements to our camper. He's originally from PA but attended university here in OH and never left. He used to travel quite a bit for work but doesn't need to as much any more. He's been to 49 of the 50 states and loves national parks. Mandy works at a local university in accreditation and assessment. She's originally from IL but ended up here in OH as well. She's the musically talented one of the family and volunteer teaches violin in the mornings at the kids school. We have 2 girls that love to be outside and ride their 4-wheelers on our property. We also have a Bernese Mountain dog named Turbo but he's not well behaved enough to camp with us yet.

Had an enjoyable stay. We arrived a little late but the host met us on arrival and helped us get situated. Had a nice chat with him and his daughters who wanted to meet Max, our Bischon. Would stay there again.

This was our very first experience using this site and my husband was very nervous about it all. The communication was excellent prior to arrival. We were greeted by Mandy and their two lovely daughters. We left to do some sightseeing fairly quickly. When we returned we had issues with our generator. When Lonnie came home; he come out to check on us. He ended up spending the rest of the evening helping Ray figure out the issue. Couldn't ask for a more hospitable host. Their place is absolutely lovely and peaceful. We would highly recommend a stay if you are in the area. We would definitely stay again!
