We currently have re-opened 1 primitive+ site plus 1 Class A RV or 2-3 Camper sites available (Primitive+).
Our secluded riparian area at the confluence of Sugar Creek and East Little Sugar (aka Snail Creek) has been operated by our family as a place of solitude, relaxation, river fishing and canoeing for over 100 years*. 'Indians' camped here year-round before the Pioneers arrived in 1821. During the early-1800s, a stagecoach station on the Cincinnati-Indianapolis line was built upon the Indian village. (Yes, stagecoaches in Indiana - that's how even Easterners got around before railroads).
During WWII our Camp provided RnR for soldiers, sailors and Army aviators stationed at the numerous training bases and facilities in/around Indianapolis and Central Indiana. It was our Granddad's Duty Station at age 60 while Grandma ran the canteen.

We loved getting to spend time together as a family on Aaron's property. Our dogs and kiddos had so much fun playing and running around. My husband, kids and dogs enjoyed the trails that were mowed and the kids loved the zipline and play ground equipment. The property is so peaceful. My husband said he would like to meet Aaron next time. We will definitely love to return in the future.

Nice secluded and quiet little camp on a lazy river. Tom was easy to work with and very responsive. He answered my pre-trip questions within hours. I had a chance to meet Tom as I was leaving and it was great to get to know him and hear how his family has managed the property over the years. The camp itself is set in a quiet section of rural Indiana so you'll navigate a few miles off the freeway through cornfields and stands of hardwoods. The entry to the camp is through a gate in their field. You are close to other neat and tidy little homesteads and small farms, but the camp site is set well back from the road and is quiet and private. The road back is unpaved and you are driving essentially on a mowed grass strip on the edge of the farmers field until you get to the campground. Most vehicles will do fine, but you may not want to bring a low vehicle. There is room for likely 2-3 independent campers there if they spread out, the area has some nice little clearings in the trees, but the clearings are modest so a single vehicle or a vehicle with a small trailer would be best. I had a large SUV and was towing a small 7 foot wide by 15 foot long trailer (tongue to tail) and it was manageable. There is no water or electricity to the camp. But there is a clean porta potty and nice touches like plenty of trash cans, a picnic table, and Tom has been very good to supply plastic tubs of some standard camping items and things you may have forgotten.

We enjoyed camping on Aaron’s land! The directions were clear and the land was easy to get to. Fair warning there are lots and lots of little flies so bring bug spray!

We really enjoyed our stay here! The site was not only beautiful, but very well maintained and clean. My boys enjoyed exploring the land and cooling off in the river. Thomas was quick to respond to any questions we had and offer suggestions for food. I would definitely recommend the camp site/ host to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway!

Weekend Trip to Restwood Camp
The view of the creek is beautiful and it was a quiet and peaceful campsite. The privacy and seclusion was a needed break from the city. Tom was an excellent host: helpful, responsive, and the included firewood onsite was a 5 star perk on a cold night. The site was clean, secluded, yet conveniently close to the interstate. We had no problem finding the place with google maps and Toms instructions. The star gazing at night was great! We saw deer, birds, and other wildlife by the water. Overall, 10/10 we look forward to returning!
