Large secluded cove near our barn and garden. Watch the sun come up from the orchard. There is 1 electrical plug so not all 3 spaces have electric but you can run a cord. There is also a single water spigot to share as well. There are 2 houses somewhat visible through the trees but no direct line of sight and otherwise private. We have 2 dogs, Whiskey and Barb, Whiskey will usually keep her space but bark, if you ignore her she will be friendly, acts mean but never bites. Barbara is a Jack Russell. She will jump in the truck if you don't tell her not to and will happily run off with snacks. We ask you please don't feed them as it will teach them to come for food and some people don't appreciate the dogs.. This is a farm so you may see and smell animals. Depending on when you book you may even be somewhat near animals. Be aware of this and be ready to keep dogs contained. We typically run pigs in the woods around the cove but we move them regularly and keep the smell to a minimum by doing so.

Easy, simple communication with host. Easy to find location, not far from necessities. Spacious area, large pond. Some premade firepit areas. Plenty of wildlife. I'd give the fishing a C+, probably dependent of time of year, only caught Bluegill. Overall great experience and place.

If you live on the North Side of Indy this is such an easy location to get to and get away. Well maintained space. Ended up extending my stay.

Good land, nice quiet cove in the middle of Noblesville. A bit overpriced, but definitely a good high quality camp.

If you need to get away and recharge you won't find a better place anywhere around Indy. Perfect spot for a quick get away and close enough if you forget something DoorDash can bring it to you lol. Don't forget your marshmallows
