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.

Right when I got there, Natalie and her husband came out to greet me. They are wonderful hosts and very hospitable. I also had plenty of privacy in a campsite tucked away into the woods. I would definitely stay here again!

We loved camping on Natalie's land! We had planned it as a landing spot for some trips to Holiday World, with 1 day at camp, but I wish we'd allowed an extra day or two to just enjoy the campsite. It was so peaceful and Natalie and her husband were welcoming hosts. We were invited to grab some fresh lettuce and onions from the garden to add to our dinner which was a great experience for the kids. One thing that wasn't quite clear from the listing was the location of the stream. It's down a steep hill and out of sight of the campsite. Our kids still enjoyed playing down there, butI thought I would note it as if you are planning for it to be a part of your experience, you'll want to make sure you can navigate the hill and/or your children are able to play independently in that setting. Overall this was a great place to camp. It was peaceful and quiet at camp (pretty sure 99% of any noise came from our kids & dog!). At the same time, there were gas stations & towns 5-10 min away if we needed to get moreice or something. Natalie was so responsive before and throughout our stay and I am so appreciative of her & her husband's efforts in hosting.

We really enjoyed staying here. Despite the last minute notice we gave, their hospitality was absolutely heartwarming. It was quiet and friendly area. We recommend Natalie & Jeremy's Unplugged Acres. Will come back again. Thank you. 😊
