TWO SPOTS TO CHOOSE FROM……
The camping spot we refer to as the NORTHSIDE SPOT is a flat yard atop a hill  it makes for a great spot to park your RV, camper, tent or boat. This grass camping spot is always mowed and clean.   Two large pine trees provide some shade for this northside camping spot. You can enjoy nearly panoramic views of the night sky!  This spot is alongside a country road. It is considered less private than the SOUTH SIDE SPOT.

The SOUTH SIDE CAMPING SPOT, is for tent campers only with a smaller vehicle. It is very private and completely surrounded by woods.  This spot can accommodate two tents and one or two cars. There is no view of the night sky since you are in a dense forest. 

Patoka  lake is less than 10 minutes away ( boating, fishing, hiking, swimming, biking).

Holiday World ( an amusement park) is about 30 minutes away.

Communal fire pit. Brining your own wood is appreciated and later on we will sell firewood.

Communal horseshoe pits are available to use on site also

Old Barn inside an Industrial Park

Learn more about this land:

Our spot is not far off 64 and close to 69. It's a late 1800's farmhouse with an antique barn situated in the middle of an industrial park, so it is loud during the day.
Since we've added a gravel parking lot for barn concerts, there are just a few camping spots. Vehicles are welcome. We usually have a portajohn. 

You can sit around a fire on our property and look at the stars by night (when there's not a fire ban).

The Blue Grass Fish and Wildlife Area is a just a bit up the road. You could ride your bikes there, kayak, canoe, fish, etc.

We are only 3 miles from Patoka lake where you can swim, hike, and launch or rent a boat. 

Hill Springs Campground

Hill Springs Campground is nestled on our 120-acre family farm, and we’re proud to be the third generation to care for this little piece of paradise. Tucked away in the heart of 'God’s country,' our campground offers peace and quiet, miles from the nearest town. The rolling hills provide hay for our cows and wood for the stove, and we take great pride in sharing this beautiful spot with you.

Each site offers the chance to unwind by the pond, pick wild blackberries, or hike through our woods. Fire pits are available at all sites. Our sites are simple—no water, electricity, or internet—but generators are welcome, and we provide a toilet on-site. Please remember to pack out all your trash, including cigarette butts.

For a glimpse of what to expect, check out a few videos of the campground on our Facebook page, 'hillspringcampground.'

We’re also close to plenty of activities:

Patoka Lake is just 3 miles away, with 8,800 acres of water, 26,000 sq. feet of land, and a variety of outdoor fun—boating, fishing, hiking, and even a winery.

Historic French Lick and West Baden are 16 miles away, offering everything from casinos to a scenic railway, golf courses, a spa, a wildlife park, and the stunning West Baden Springs Hotel, known as the 'Eighth Wonder of the World.'

The city of Jasper is 14 miles away, with a charming riverwalk, museums, parks, and food trucks to explore.

The small town of Dubois is just 4.5 miles away, with local taverns, a gas station, and a True Value store.

At Hill Springs, you can be as close or as far away from the action as you want to be. We’re excited to share this experience with you and welcome your feedback as we start this journey with Hipcamp. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!

Places of Sanctuary

Places of Sanctuary has 30 Acres of woods which include several dedicated hiking trails with beautiful clearings and benches for resting and reflecting along the way. You're welcome to fish in the pond that has plenty of shade and sun, or sit around the bonfire site where we have benches provided and roast marshmallows. With two easy-access large tree houses, bench swings and a big picnic shelter, there's lots of room to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. You might encounter wildlife like: deer, mink, or geese, but you're sure to see our chickens and ducks running around and hear our rooster crow in the morning. Depending on the time and season, we offer several hands on experiences with berry picking, chicken tending, food processing, gardening, and general light land maintenance like checking the trails for down limbs and trash.  With gorgeous views and the convenience of being just 10 minutes from University Southern Indiana or 15 minutes from restaurants and stores, we welcome you to camp with us. If you are interested in staying longer than 3 nights or your RV/camper is longer than 36 feet long, please message us to see if we can accommodate your visit. Usually we can!
