Who was Louis Bromfield
This campground is all non electric. We did run our generator during that day but kept it off at night so we didn’t disturb other campers. Only 15 sites and most are very sloped but we had site 3 and it was okay.
Lots of hiking trails and a few sites boasting the filming locations for scenes from the movie Shawshank Redemption.
We also did a house tour and learned about who Louis Bromfield was and why he was so important to the area.

Rustic
I found Malabar Farm in Lucas, OH on my way home from Mom’s house. Never heard of it before and I have been this way for over 20 years now. Louis Bromfield was a conservationist and among many other things (including winning a Pulitzer) he was in the forefront of organic and self-sustaining gardening. This place is amazing! ( and would be an excellent home schoolers camping trip!) Not your typical going hiking kinda campground (there are trails but they are not “major”) you come here to step away from city life and tour a working farm. Ohio countryside at its best. Primitive camping with a gravel parking pad and water, fire ring, picnic table and hitching post. No reservations, this is a first come campground. There’s also a small rentable cabin open year round. Definitely worth a visit and very family oriented events. ( your teenager will roll their eyes at you but probably secretly enjoy the visit)
