Welcome to our primitive campground on the beautiful Blue River! We have 2 acres of riverfront property at the end of a dead end road at the Crawford/Washington County line. Nice and secluded, we have the perfect place to getaway. There is river access for swimming and fishing or you can rent a canoe or kayak from us for a little paddling around. We provide picnic tables and fire rings. Firewood can be purchased from us for an additional cost. Our grounds are fairly flat with plenty of tree cover. If you enjoy hammock camping, our trees are perfect for that! Wildlife is abundant in the area; deer, otter, eagles, raccoons, and beaver are likely to be seen year round. If you are looking for activities nearby you will find Old Mill Canoe Rental in Fredericksburg (15 min drive), Marengo Cave (15 min drive), Beck's Mill (20 min drive), Buffalo Trace Park (25 min drive), as well as many other attractions in nearby Corydon, Salem, and Paoli.

Plenty of space. Easy to find and get to. We typically are only at the site for sleeping, and it was perfect for that; however, it looked like there was plenty of other stuff to do if you wanted to spend an afternoon wildlife-watching.

Site 4 - Old Mill Tent and Hammock Camping
The property that this camp is on is beautiful! There are lots of trees and a river right along the campsites. Each site has its own sturdy picnic table and fire pit. The owners brought by firewood just like they said they would. Our only concern, and unfortunately it was a big one, was that there is no buffer space between camp sites and it felt like the people in the next campsite were right on top of us. They stayed up all night talking by the campfire.....and we could hear every word. I wish there was some space between sites.

Site 1 - Old Mill Tent and Hammock Camping
Planning to be regulars.....
Absolutely fantastic! My family and I spent 3 days and 2 nights at Old Mill site 1. The other sites were also booked for the eclipse and we still had a peaceful trip as there is ample space between and only 8 campsites total. The site itself is spacious and has a VERY large field adjacent to let the children run free. Even our bunny had a blast hopping around. If I had to find anything bad, it would be that the portapots are in fact portapots, lol. That said they were as clean as a portapot can be. We have already booked for our next trip, this place is wonderful.

Generally speaking, a great experience. The toilets are porta-potties. I wish there was more signage about where the camp’s property ends.

Site 4 - Old Mill Tent and Hammock Camping
Right on the river with plenty of trees to hang a hammock. It would be a great place to go with a few friends since the sites are close together. The porta-potty is conveniently located.
