41mi from Columbus · 6 sites · Tents, RVs

What once started in the mid 1800's as a 240 acre sugar maple tree farm is now our little 18 acres of heaven on earth. Our house was built on the property in 1875. The land is rolling and dotted with flower beds, animals, and beautiful green grass that is mowed weekly. We are bordered by fields and a cemetery that dates back to the 1800's.We are neighbors with those who grow crops, raise beef cows, bison, and alpacas.2 blocks from our driveway is Blue River which offers fishing, kayaking, tubing, and canoeing (if you have your own equipment). Town is 2 minutes away, but there is not much there other than a convenience gas station, aTodd's Great Outdoor Bait Shop, and an engine repair shop. There are often festivals, open Music Jams and community events. "Civilization" is a 30 minute drive to find movies, grocery, shopping, and a public pool. The sky appears to be scattered with diamonds on a clear night and during season the fireflies light the trees up like twinkling lights at Christmas! Learn more about this land: We have an 18 acre mini farm, close to a small town and near a river. We have two small ponds that can be fished in during the early spring, wildlife, and birds to watch.  There are 6 very nice areas for camp sites that allow for privacy and relaxation. Each site has a fire pit and table. We also have just put in a new out house and have a port-a-potty for our campers to use. We are 10 minutes from Interstate 70 and only 30 minutes from Indianapolis. If you are just passing through or arriving late,  let us know and we will be happy to have a campfire started for you. Accommodations can be made for group camping!  We also have a gazebo that can be used for weddings and vow renewals. Officiant on site.

Weekend Trip to Hill Top Farms

Great little spot just outside of Indy. You aren’t too far from the property owner’s house and horses (which were cool to see by the way) but the way the pond sits, there’s overgrowth and trees that hides the view of all of that. This campsite felt very private. It was quiet and relaxing which is exactly what we wanted. I would 100% recommend this Hipcamp site to anyone that is looking at it.

Portable restroom located at other spot 50' away

Perfect place to stay! Very nice family. Everything is as described, not a single even slightly negative thing in the 17 days I stayed. Would go quite a distance out of my way to stay here again. Jonathan let me know of wind gusts expected that I had no idea of and even offered to put my awning in for me!! Great guy! Highly recommended.

This is one of the best Hip Camps we have experienced. The directions were clear, and the host, Jonathan, greeted us warmly. Jonathan took the time to show us the property and the campsite. Electric, water, and a very clean toilet are conveniently located. Jonathan also has a strong Wi-Fi in the camping area. We easily connected. Our campsite was covered, which was helpful during the evening rain. Jonathan has 20 acres where trails are cut through the corn fields and the woods for hiking and dog walking. There are many birds in the area, so birders will enjoy it. This was a very enjoyable stay.

Mary and Rick were such sweet, attentive hosts! My family and I loved camping here. It was peaceful, beautiful, and secluded, and our dogs really enjoyed running around. I can't wait to go back! P.S. The chocolate chip cookies were such a thoughtful touch! Thanks for everything!

This was just what I was looking for. Ginny’s land was peaceful. I never met her face to face, however, was VERY communicative via app if I needed to ask a question. The site was utmost beautiful on the pond. Very primitive which is what I wanted. The dogs and I enjoyed this spot very much! The pond isn’t really swimmable for humans, but was for my pups. I would come back. The store was about 2 miles from the site. Another store about 4 miles. Thanks Ginny and family ❤️

We had an incredible weekend at Marco Acres. Our spot was beautiful and near the restroom & plenty of space for our dogs to romp off leash. We will certainly be back!

Nice spot to see a bunch of birds. Right next to a pond so you can fall asleep to the sounds of frogs, fish and crickets. Great get away.

I had an absolutely peaceful and wonderful time spent here and would highly recommend anyone looking for a small tranquil but close to amenities get away come to this wonderful property! The host Jonathan is nothing shy of one the the nicest folks I have ever met! He cares throughly about your comfort and explains the history of their land to your upon arrival. You can tell that this family is full of genuine souls who just want people to feel at home there and get whatever their soul needs replenishment for while there. They are respectful of your privacy but know that they are only a moment away if anything is needed. The stars are magical and the butterflies I have never seen so many and of those colors. A true Hoosier family and a gem of a find! I will be back with my son and dog to this time to relax upon the pond and wonder further into the trails! Thank you, Jonathan for being you and keeping land alive for us nature lovers to escape too! You are appreciated!

We absolutely loved camping at Marick Acres! Our campsite was spacious, lush, green, and perfectly clean. The bathroom was super close yet separate. We were greeted with delicious homemade cookies and they even started a fire for us since we were coming in late! We had a wonderful time and can’t wait to go back!
