- Voted best Hipcamp in Indiana for 7 years. - Listed on Rachael Ray Magazine's "8 of America's Coolest Campgrounds" We offer a "Camping Cabin", The "Cozy Camping Cottage" or tent camping in Black Walnut Grove, in an open field, in the woods, or a shady grove. We like to interact with people or you can keep to yourself and have a quiet getaway in the woods. Sorry, but the tree house isn't available to rent since it is my home. I may rent it out in the future. Also in progress is the "Dome" We are on a solar powered, off the grid 30 acre homestead that has 24 acres of wooded land and 6 acres of groomed land. Come explore our land and relax in the "Tree Web", see the 2 story tree house that I live in, have fun on the tire swing, or just sit and enjoy all that nature has to offer. You can explore our interesting topography that has close to 100 foot of elevation changes, our (mostly) dry creek system that starts with 2 springs that drain into 3 sinkholes or walk 3 miles of trails (if you follow each trail from end to end). We love groups - Host your event here or have a group gathering with all your friends and family. We have spaces large enough to host hundreds of people. We welcome pets for camping, but no pets allow in the Camping Cabin. Also be aware that we have 2 friendly dogs on the land that roam freely. - 3.5 miles to Marengo Cave - 7 miles to the Blue River (canoes, rafting and swimming) - 30 minutes to Patoka Lake - 37 miles west of Louisville - 13 miles north of Interstate 64

Treehouse · Sleeps 30 · 1 bed

Camp in a cabin at Happy Hollow Homestead. The Camping Cabin sleeps 2 in the queen sized bed, but has plenty of room for campers outside the cabin. You can add additional campers or they can book tent camping separately. It is 15' x 15' foot spray foam insulated cabin with a queen sized bed, a couch and a heater for the winter months (or fan for summer months). It's close to a shower and outhouse. There is a fire pit behind the Camping Cabin an will soon have a view of the new pond (when it fills up) The Camping Cabin has limited electrical due to being off-grid. Lights, phone charging and fan are okay. Sorry, no pets allowed in the camping cabin.

A-frame · Sleeps 100 · 1 bedroom · 1 bed · 1 toilet

The A-frame is our newest addition. I'm still working on it a bit, but wanted to get it listed. The A-frame is our most secluded camping spot that you can drive to. Tucked away at the edge of the property but still not too far from everything else. It has a queen sized 6" foam mattress and is close to an outhouse and shower and near the new pond which is in the process of filling up.

Homestead Happiness 😊

Camping Cabin

We stayed at Happy Hollow Homestead this past weekend for my birthday, and even though it poured rain almost the entire time and parts of the property were flooded, it was honestly one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever stayed. We ended up being the only campers there, which I’m sure had everything to do with the weather, but it made for such a peaceful reset. The trees were absolutely beautiful, the property was well cared for, and one thing I really noticed was how clean everything was. There wasn’t trash laying around anywhere. You could tell the owner really loves this place. Kerry was an amazing host. Before we even arrived, he kept us updated about the weather, the flooding, and what to expect. We got there really late because of the storms, and he was so gracious that he gave us a free night because of the rain and our late arrival. That was completely unexpected and so appreciated. He also took the time to give us a tour of the property and showed us the different spaces he’s working on. It was exciting hearing his vision for Happy Hollow. You can tell he’s putting his heart into making it something special. Honestly, I knew it was going to rain before we came, so the weather wasn’t anyone’s fault. Sometimes you just have to embrace what Mother Nature gives you. For me, the experience was still 100% worth it. I’m so glad I found the Hipcamp app because I probably never would have discovered this little hidden gem otherwise. We’ll definitely be back,
