Come on in, kick back & enjoy some nature in the country. Open on weekends only, Grins & Pickin's CampFarm offers the ultimate return to nature, where the spring wildflowers are spectacular and wildlife viewing is plentiful. Deer, turkey, coyote, fox, mink, opossum, eagles, barred owls, lots of frogs also live here. The CampFarm offers nature-based & homesteading activities where you can even pick your own morning fresh eggs for breakfast! Our primitive campground is an outdoor recreation facility located on a working farm near the very heart of Ohio, where you truly can get away from it all! We charge by the carload & the weight & number of wheels on our fields ($20 tents, $25 popups, $30 small rvs). While our fields are tiled for fast drainage, there is no blacktop or concrete driveways/pads so driving access is limited during heavy rains. There is no hookup for electric, no wifi, bring in your own water. There are 31 very large campsites and 20 acres of farmland, gardens, frog pool, bluegill fishing pond, pollinator maze, prairie trail, woods & a creek; seasonal pyo produce; nature programs; suite rental. All of the sites have a fire pit, half have picnic tables. Available for a fair price is dry firewood, best tastin' chicken/duck eggs, good clean water. 4 miles from Interstate 71 Exit 140.
We are 4 miles from I-71, exit 140. Turn south toward Arby's/Pilot Gas Station. Go one mile. You'll see the town of Fargo sign. Take the next left which is County Road 15. Go 2 miles. Turn right on County Road 170. Go one mile. You'll see Grins & PIckin's CampFarm sign on the left & a mailbox with #1 on it for address of 1 County Road 170. Please check in at the house. Safe travels!
We had a wonderful experience at grins and pickins! We made a last minute decision to go camping and they were able to accomdate us, as well as had timely communication. The grounds are prestein and you can tell they really care about their property. Each camp site has its own picnic table and fire ring. We loved being next to the pond and were able to fish. It seemed child friendly, but also allowed for adults to have a good time. We will definitely be back!
The site is lovely. Lots of fun and activities for everyone. Christy is welcoming and friendly. The location was perfect and I would recommend as well as return in the near future.
We recently stayed here and couldn’t have been happier! We had the entire place to ourselves, which was nice, but not necessary. Our two young campers (age 8) loved the open space, the creek in the woods, the fishing pond and the frog pond. Owner is super friendly, and even goes so far as to use old boards to fill in space in the campfire bins so that you really get what you pay for! The grounds were immaculate, and the portables, but the 2nd cleanest I’ve ever experienced. We’ll definitely be back!
I work for Goodwill today we all had an outing there was about 80 people in our group what I could see every one was happy to be there. They had a pond that had fish ducks chickens and roster plus you could walk the path..it was great 👍
The lady who owns this was very helpful and friendly. The sites were very nice well kept and at an unbelievable price. Great experience and would stay again.
