We stayed at the bring your own tent site for 2 nights in August. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and the bathroom is better than any I’ve seen! The owners are very responsive, friendly and accommodating. We will certainly be back and hope to try the velvet buck soon!

Cristina is so friendly and welcoming and the property is absolutely beautiful. I got a tent site and wasn’t expecting there to be chairs, tables, flashlights and a tent already set up for us. Anything that we needed they were more than happy to help. I’ve never had a better experience at any other campground and the price is very affordable. I love this place and will definitely make future trips to camp there again. I can’t thank Cristina enough for being so wonderful and kind

I recently stayed at a bell tent campsite, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. When I arrived, the tent was already set up and fully equipped with an air mattress, tables, and lights, making the check-in process completely stress-free. The campsite itself was thoughtfully arranged with a fire pit and plenty of firewood on hand, plus solar lights surrounding the area that created a cozy glow at night.
There was a table and chairs right on site, along with a charming love seat swing that quickly became my favorite spot to relax and take in the scenery. The host went above and beyond by providing a cooler and a generator, which made the stay even more comfortable. A clean bathroom and shower were just a short walk away, which was a huge plus for convenience.
Overall, this campsite perfectly combined comfort with the charm of outdoor living, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and well-prepared glamping experience.

Where to go
North Indiana
Indiana’s most Instagram-worthy landscapes can be found at the state’s northeastern boundary. Sloping dunes and sandy beaches line the southern shore of Lake Michigan, and Indiana Dunes National Park has tent and RV camping right by the beach. Further east, industrial towns pepper the road to Amish Country, where you can check into a rustic log cabin in the woods or camp by the lake in Chain O’Lakes State Park.
Central Indiana
Indiana’s central plains are dotted with laidback market towns, cornfields, and lakes. Indianapolis pulls in crowds for its summer motorsports events, most notably the famous Indy 500, but campers can easily escape the city for nearby Mccormick’s Creek State Park or Morgan-Monroe State Forest. Just to the south, Brown County is home to Monroe Lake, the state’s largest lake, hemmed in by Yellowwood State Forest and Brown County State Park.
Southern Indiana
Hilly southern Indiana is blanketed with woodlands, most notably the forested trails and canyons of Hoosier National Forest. Come in fall to hike against a backdrop of foliage or canoe along Sugar Creek, one of the state’s top paddling destinations. Further south, the Ohio River Scenic Byway draws adventurers to hike, paddle, camp, and fish.
