Hidden Valley Fun Time Happy Camp!

15 sites ¡ RVs, Tents8 acres ¡ Muncie, IN
Once the secret speakeasy after dark spot for local political big wigs this property has been transformed from swampland to hidden gem right on the edge of America's Hometown of Muncie, Indiana! Welcome to Narnia! Or Atlantis!? Or... The Property? The Hidden Valley? We just haven't committed to a name yet so it's a little bit of everything all rolled into one! 8 acres on the magical Ganges, er, White River makes for a fun time. You can expect a certain amount of privacy while still potentially making a new friend or two depending on the night. You will be nestled under some giant sycamores, cottonwoods, black walnuts, catulpas, and a mess of bush honeysuckle that is always being battled! We have 2-3 sites directly on the river and then scores throughout with trails, hills, and other interesting features. Multiple firepits though I CANNOT guarantee firewood. There is often plenty to collect or available on site but if you can bring your own that'd be safest bet! We are (somehow) located partially inside Muncie city limits right on the river. Yes you may occasionally hear some trains or even particularly loud cars while camping deep in the woods but this is the tradeoff for a one mile drive to bars, restaurants, and groceries! Best of both worlds. The Muncie Eagles, whose nest resides directly across the river from us, do not seem to mind! This location is also directly on two main bike trail routes and our trails are fun for low impact mountain biking! We also have a small armada of kayaks/canoes on site; IF arranged that option does exist for cost of transport! We have 2 porta potties on site as well and fresh water hose available at main house. Looking forward to hosting!

The Fun Farm

2 sites ¡ RVs, Tents25 acres ¡ Fort Wayne, IN
Learn more about this land:Our location is also home to our fantasy destination, The Fun Farm.

For example, who would you like to have breakfast with? A superhero? A princess? Or perhaps a souvenir caricature of you and your group is in order to commemorate the experience? Maybe an experiential art, dance, drama or music lesson? Guided tours of the grounds can also be arranged to learn more about the history of the farm and it's originality.

MORE NOTES ABOUT THE CAMPSITE: We're flexible with wherever you would like to pitch your tent, but the spots we recommend the most are next to our cabin (where the lighting is best and the ground is flattest.) Parking is most easily found next to these sites as well (and the lighting is also excellent.)  Also, in the near vicinity, a shared firepit is readily available and can accommodate at least 12 people.Check out the additional options (like firewood bundles) below and let us know how we can help you make great memories!

The best camping near Ouabache State Park guide

Overview

About

If you're reading Ouabache State Park like "Wabash" instead of "Ooahbash," we give you props for being exceptionally intuitive. This beautiful state park offers all the amenities of a resort with all the rustic nostalgia of the outdoors. Hike one of five trails that weave through woodland marshes and wind around hickory and oak forests, or take the easier path and bike one of the paved trails. A refreshing dip in the pool or a friendly game of volleyball will be sure to get your heart rate up, and if you come during the right time of year, festivals offer everything from outdoor cooking merit badges to a bison bash. With boating, fishing, and even a resident naturalist to inform, Ouabache State Park really covers all its bases.

Notable campgrounds

  • Electric Campground: Offers spacious sites with electrical hookups, perfect for RVs and tent campers seeking convenience.
  • Youth Tent Area: Dedicated space for youth groups to camp, fostering a sense of adventure and camaraderie amid nature.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  • Book early, especially for peak seasons, to ensure you secure a spot at this popular destination.
  • Consider mid-week stays for better availability and a quieter camping experience.
  • Keep an eye on cancellation policies and check back regularly for newly available sites.
  • Explore nearby camping options to have a backup plan in case Ouabache State Park is fully booked.

When to go

The best time to visit Ouabache State Park is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural scenery is at its most vibrant. Summer offers full access to park amenities but can be busy. Winter visits are serene, though some facilities may be closed.

Know before you go

  • Check for any alerts on blue-green algae and adhere to safety guidelines when near the water.
  • Beach and pool hours may vary due to weather and staffing; contact the park office for current times.
  • Stay on marked trails to protect the environment and ensure your safety while hiking.
  • Make shelter reservations in advance to secure your spot for picnicking and gatherings.
