We're bringing my family farm back to life. My parents farmed here until the 1980's, but couldn't make a profit with corn and soybeans. My husband, Nate, and I moved home in 2014, and started turning the fields into pastures. Today, we run Nightfall Farm, raise animals with respect, and sell pasture-raised meat locally. Come wander the 125 acres of woods, wetlands, and farm. Check out the animals in our pastures, and walk along the Muscatatuck River. Enjoy a quiet fire. Hear the roar of frogs calling in Spring. Chase fireflies. Behold a family farm coming back to life.

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.

The farm is located 15 minutes west of Indiana Universities Memorial Stadium. The property is nice and private. The farm adjoins the 75 acre Stranger Hills Organic farm, the oldest organic farm in Indiana. Our 1899 Farmhouse is the only residence on the entire farm. There is a 3000 acre farm to our south. The area is quiet and very private. The campsites are in a grassy walnut grove by a small creek that runs along the eastern border of the property. We have a white deer creek cabin tent on a platform there and 3 or 4 nice level campsites to the north. There are 3 RV sites at the top of a small hill with 30 amp service. We can accommodate a large RV on packed gravel with 50 amp service. the farm is located 15 minutes east of McCormicks Creek State Park. There is a composting toilet and an on demand hot shower in a small building adjacent to the campsites. There is a YMCA about five minutes East of the property. We now have a no dog policy. I haven’t been able to change it on the site.

This place really is a hidden gem. It's clean and quiet, and the Black Walnut Grove camping area is beautifully shady. The tree net is so cool! Also, the location is about 10-11 minutes from Marengo Cave, which was why I was there. Very convenient!
The host, Kerry, is very nice and helpful too.
Wi-Fi is quite spotty, but does work in some places. Outhouses are surprisingly nice for pit toilets with running sink water (which is awesome), though if you need to go during the night be aware you will have a LOT of insect and arachnid company very close to you 😆
Would definitely recommend staying here!

We had a BLAST at this campsite! Our host was extremely accommodating, friendly, and even warned us of bad weather approaching. My 11 yr old niece and nephew LOVED the rope and tire swings, the tree net, and exploring the property. 😍
The only thing we would recommend would be to update the hipcamp photos. Most of them were taken in 2020, so things weren’t quite the way we expected when we arrived… they’ve aged a bit. 🙃
But we still absolutely LOVED our stay and hope to come back in the future! 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had such a fun time in this quiet, peaceful camp. It’s actually quite easy to get to, if you pay attention to the directions, and you feel far away from everything while only being like 20 minutes from Indy. We saw bats, lots of different birds, and pretty sure a river otter.

This camp was exactly what we were looking for! Wife and I were headed down to meet a group of friends in NC, and brought our hammocks to camp the first night. We had a large open site on the river. Popped up the hammocks, ordered the large bundle of firewood and cooked dinner over the fire. We ordered the wood online after we got there, but a nice guy brought a wagon load of it over quickly. A quiet peaceful evening, was just what the doctor ordered. We would recommend and stay here again next time we are in the area
