WINERIES, BREWERIES AND RESTAURANTS RIGHT DOWN THE STREET!
Were right outside of the heartbeat of Indianapolis with about a 15 min drive to reach the city, and just a couple min off of I-69 in a friendly and safe (2 doors down from the new Police station) residential farm area. Its about a 4 min drive to Center Grove, Mallow Run Winery (free tastings!), Taxman Brewery and amazing downtown Bargersville (check out Pizza and Libations, UpCellar, Coffeehouse Five or the Farmers Market on Wed evenings). Soccer and Football fields are also just a couple min walk from your camper.
Miles of paved biking/walking paths connect to our property. Golfing at Hickory Stick golf course is just a few doors down or head down the street to Kephart Park for some pickleball or splash pad fun for the kids. Fishing on property is available anytime at our pond stocked with Bass, Catfish, Redear, and Sunfish. Bring your gear and fish your heart out!
The camping space is located right in front of our brand-new pole barn on 10 acres, your site will feature a nice grassy area with a few apple and pear trees. Feel free to grab a few fresh snacks off a tree if the fruit is in season. Views to the S/SW capture amazing sunset views of the Bargersville Watertower.
30Amp Electricity and Water hookup is available right at your campsite.
46feet max length for your rig/trailer. Additional vehicle parking available next to your site.

Fantastic host, fantastic spot for me. Close enough to services I needed access to. Close to the road, but super quiet in the evenings.
