Large secluded cove near our barn and garden. Watch the sun come up from the orchard. There is 1 electrical plug so not all 3 spaces have electric but you can run a cord. There is also a single water spigot to share as well. There are 2 houses somewhat visible through the trees but no direct line of sight and otherwise private. May see us feeding animals or tending garden. There is also a livestock guardian dog (Cotton) on property, we just ask that you please do not feed her or leave food/trash laying around for her to find.  This is a farm so you may see and smell animals. Depending on when you book you may even be somewhat near animals. Be aware of this and be ready to keep dogs contained. Ask us about purchasing a bag of fresh meat or veggies from our market garden Henrysmarketindiana.comThis listing is intended for overnighters more so than someone wanting to spend the weekend with a bunch of people. Large secluded cove near our barn and garden.

My dogs do run loose on property, we just ask that you please do not feed them or leave food/trash laying around for them to find and if you make friends they may not leave your camp.  I am running pigs through the woods around this area this summer, so you may smell them slightly but should never be bad. I will be wandering around tending to chores in the early mornings/evenings as well as most days on the weekend.

Perfect little one night get away for me. But a great spot to have a large group.

A good place for an overnighter.
The land was fine. I was only there for one night and didn’t see much of the site due to arriving and leaving in the dark, but what I did see looked okay. Justin’s dogs were very curious, but he called them in after I called him. Would recommend for anyone willing to rough it in place of a hotel and save a little money.

Roaming Dogs
Unfortunately we had to leave Justin’s site as soon as we arrived due to his dogs causing conflict with our pups! His two dogs greet you as you pull in and don’t seem to want to leave! We tried to let our dogs out to pee after a 2 hour drive & his bigger white dog was very persistent in nipping and herding our dogs to the point of conflict between them and us having to pull out immediately so we weren’t stuck in our car all night. We tried to reach out to Justin twice to see if there was a way of separating them for the evening but we have still not hear a thing back! This is a night spot to stay for the evening if you don’t have dogs & don’t mind dogs barking endlessly! I would come back if there was better communication from the hosts!

Convenient location. Easy to find if you follow the excellent directions! Justin is a helpful and easy going host. Nice flat spots for tents under trees. Note that the large friendly dog might try to get in your tent and bel

2nd year in a row that my wife, myself, and our pups have stopped to pitch a tent at this great location on our way from Iowa to Virginia. Very private. Great flat ground beneath trees to pitch a tent and enjoy dinner around the fire. We hope next year makes it three in a row! Very remote, but that is just how we like it 👌

I was on a cross country trip in my car moving my whole life from Anchorage, AK to Virginia and was running out of options to pitch my tent for the night. Justins place was awesome, I didn't use the rock fire ring or picnic table but the solitude was pleasant back there. I got a good night's sleep which was all I could've asked for!
