Suggested Local Attractions:The World's Greatest Amateur Circus: Peru, Indiana, is also known as the "Circus City". In the late 1800s and early 1900s, Peru was home to the Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus and others. Even the Ringling Brothers Circus wintered there for a while. For 10 days each July, Peru celebrates the Circus City Festival with rides, crafts, food, games, and more. The highlight, however, is the live amateur circus that has performances throughout the festival. A unique and authentic experience that echoes the early heyday of the circus, this is a fun event not to be missed. Performers are locals, some of whom are direct descendants of professional performers in the earlier shows. Even if a visit is timed to occur outside of July, a visit to the small but impressive International Circus Hall of Fame might be worth the trip. Circus Hall of Fame is located 1.8 miles from Camp Ames.

Jeremy was so gracious and helpful...perservering thru 3 dying generators and making sure I was safe and warm.

Cindy was a gracious host. She actually walked me around the property to assist me in choosing a spot. She also provided a wagon to help haul my gear. Being able to walk up to the lake from my tent to fish was extremely convenient. I caught a few pan fish on some bee moths. Apparently there's some big cats in the lake.

Our group of 10 college students had a wonderful time at Wayde and Beth's! They were both so kind, generous, and thoughtful. We enjoyed eggs, tomatoes, peppers, and honey all from their farm! We had planned on cooking calzones over a campfire that night, but there was a countywide burn ban in effect, so they let us use their bbq grill and the calzones came out perfectly! We launched our canoes in the Mississinewa River right in front of their property and they allowed us to park our car for self-transport at their place. They could not have been easier to work with and had excellent communication. We were also very pleasantly surprised that they had a toilet for us to use, which the whole group was very happy about! We highly recommend!

Camp Ames is a gem of a micro campground near Circus City Peru, IN ... Complete with full hook-ups and a self-serve camp shack-store ... The sites are level, stone-paved and can be pull-through at the Host's discretion ... Wayde & Beth are gems as well so helpful and thoughtful! ... Seasoned travelers themselves, they've made an oasis on their property just off the beaten path in the heart of central Indiana ... Google Maps directions were spot on ... (Starlink) Wi-Fi is offered and is actually pretty good at the camping sites ... Hiking, Biking and River Floating are all across the road and we explored all three in our one good day of weather ... Check out Wayde & Beth's outline of other nearby activities like the Circus Hall of Fame-Museum ... Looking forward to returning year after year after year ...
