Keep an eye out for deer, our resident blue herons, songbirds, ducks and other woodland creatures.

READ ALL OF "SITE" DESCRIPTION PLEASE BE AWARE THAT PICTURES ARE OF PROPERTY IN GENERAL AND NOT SPECIFIC SITE YOU ARE BOOKING THAT WILL VARY BY NEED, FIT, AND LONGEVITY OF BOOKING!!! Thanks!!!
ELECTRIC IS LIMITED TO A FEW SPOTS CLOSE TO THE HOUSE; QUIET GENERATORS WELCOME!
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!

Bare-bones camping! This secluded spot allows dry camping in a beautiful 9-acre woods. A winding gravel drive takes you to the heart of the forest and away from civilization. Fully self-contained RVs/camper vans can park level and find a large clearing to enjoy the sounds and sites of native Hoosier flora and fauna. This is a single lane with no turn-around for lengthy vehicles.
Our family’s desire is to eventually live on the site and some signs of development can be found, but our first priority is the tedious but rewarding task of removing the non-native species (Burning Bush, Winter Creeper, Asian Honeysuckle, Garlic Mustard, Multiflora Rose) to allow for the native woods and understory to thrive. We are a few years into this process and have already seen major gains in the health of the woods, thanks to the guidance we received from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. Limited use of the site ensures the native animal presence is not overly disturbed and preserves a true experience for campers to enjoy.
Fill your fresh water tank before arriving and dump your black water tank at a dump station when you’re done. Gray water may be dumped onsite ONLY if you are using earth friendly soaps/ cleaners. Pre-cut and dried firewood for your enjoyment can be arranged ahead of time for a fee. Kindling can be gathered in the cleared areas and along the trails, but we ask that you do not enter non-cleared areas of the woods as this is disruptive to the plant and animal life.
There is a one party limit so you may enjoy your nature experience in privacy. With two connecting trails carefully carved into the woods, you are sure to spot signs of creatures like red squirrels, chipmunks, possum, rabbits, garter snakes, frogs, toads, and deer.
This property is a bird watchers delight! In the past year, we have observed Blue Jays, Cardinals, Goldfinches, Carolina Wrens, Baltimore Orioles, Cedar Waxwings, American Robins, Sparrows, Tufted Titmice, Finches, Downy Woodpeckers, Northern Flickers, and Pileated Woodpeckers. Black Vultures and Red-Tailed Hawks are a common sight, and you may hear Owls during your overnight stay.
Despite the feeling of total privacy, this site is minutes from Muncie, a mid-sized city in Delaware county. Muncie is home to Ball State University, which hosts concerts, speakers, and other programs. Muncie boasts an active downtown with shops, restaurants and breweries. IU Ball Hospital, an award-winning medical facility, is a 15-minute drive.
Ruoff Music Center, a beloved outdoor music venue that provides live entertainment throughout the concert season, is less than an hour from the site. Indianapolis, a little over an hour drive, offers vast entertainment opportunities.

What once started in the mid 1800's as a 240 acre sugar maple tree farm is now our little 18 acres of heaven on earth. Our house was built on the property in 1875.
The land is rolling and dotted with flower beds, animals, and beautiful green grass that is mowed weekly. We are bordered by fields and a cemetery that dates back to the 1800's.We are neighbors with those who grow crops, raise beef cows, bison, and alpacas.2 blocks from our driveway is Blue River which offers fishing, kayaking, tubing, and canoeing (if you have your own equipment). Town is 2 minutes away, but there is not much there other than a convenience gas station, aTodd's Great Outdoor Bait Shop, and an engine repair shop. There are often festivals, open Music Jams and community events. "Civilization" is a 30 minute drive to find movies, grocery, shopping, and a public pool. The sky appears to be scattered with diamonds on a clear night and during season the fireflies light the trees up like twinkling lights at Christmas!
Learn more about this land:
We have an 18 acre mini farm, close to a small town and near a river. We have two small ponds that can be fished in during the early spring, wildlife, and birds to watch. There are 6 very nice areas for camp sites that allow for privacy and relaxation. Each site has a fire pit and table. We also have just put in a new out house and have a port-a-potty for our campers to use. We are 10 minutes from Interstate 70 and only 30 minutes from Indianapolis. If you are just passing through or arriving late, let us know and we will be happy to have a campfire started for you.
Accommodations can be made for group camping!
We also have a gazebo that can be used for weddings and vow renewals. Officiant on site.

During the early-1800s, a stagecoach station on the Cincinnati-Indianapolis line was built upon the Indian village. (Yes, stagecoaches in Indiana - that's how even Easterners got around before railroads).

Jeremy was super attentive, greeted us when we arrived, checked on us, let us pick our own site, invited us to a Halloween party, provided us with a jug of water, lots of firewood (a wheel barrel full for $4), and saved the day by letting us borrow a can opener since we forgot ours. The location and price were right for us and we had a lovely night and appreciated the hospitality! The campground itself is still a work in progress and, since it was the off-season, seemed a bit rundown. There is a lot of old playground equipment around and you can hear nearby windmills throughout the night from a tent, but we were able to sleep through it. There is a lot of potential there and we were glad to get in while the price is still low!

Sherfick Farms was one of those camping spots where you can really slow down and enjoy being outside. The wide-open fields, farmland, pond, and beautiful fall scenery made for such a peaceful setting.
I was traveling solo with my two dogs, and they absolutely loved all the open space. 🐾 We spent the evening relaxing by the fire and then settled in with a beautiful view of the pond and night sky. It was quiet, spacious, and exactly what we needed after a long day on the road.
I also felt comfortable and safe here traveling alone, which is always important to me. The property gives you that peaceful country-camping feeling while still being close enough to Noblesville if you need anything.
Definitely a place I would stay again — especially with the dogs. Beautiful property, relaxing atmosphere, and a great stop on our road-trip adventure! 🌾🔥🐾❤️

They checked in to see if we needed anything but also let us have space.

This place is great if you like private and quiet. The stars are unbelievable. No lights blocking them out. Very quiet except an occasional train, very dark after the sun goes down so bring your flashlight. The outhouse shed was clean and smelled good. I will definitely stay again. Highly recommend.

22 ft Class B

My husband and I spent two pleasant nights here in RV site 3 with our dog over a nice fall weekend. It was clean, easy to find, and right on the water. We have a 22 ft B-class, so had plenty of room to maneuver after pulling in. The gravel site was nice and level. No one was in site 4, so it was quite private, but it is kind-of near the road, so you can hear and see the cars going by (but it's a quiet country road, not too much traffic). There were campers staying in the tent site, but we never heard a peep from them. One other RV was parked on the upper side lane and another RV pulled onto the side lane and parked the second night, but we didn't really see any other campers. There was a dumpster and a port-o-john on site, but we didn't use these. The picnic table was clean and new and the fire circle was nice (with fire wood for purchase). Didn't see anyone on the river as the temps were chilly, but lots of bird action all around! Our only complaint was a broken bottle in the gravel that another camper must have left, but I picked up the pieces and we had no issues. We walked our dog to a nice covered bridge and park a mile up the road, but there are no hiking or biking trails local to the site. Definitely recommend a car to enjoy the area. Check out the Wooly Yak Winery (20 min away) for some cute animal pics and a nice tasting!

Staying here was my first trip booked on HipCamp and honestly, it couldn’t have been better. My dog and I stayed for an entire weekend and loved how private it was. Being right on the water was peaceful and there were plenty of short trails to walk my dog. It was a nice, cold weekend and Kevin was great. We will definitely be staying here again in the future. Highly recommend!
