The Man's Annex aka the Mannex is located on Scenic US HWY 12 to the South and The South Shore Commuter Rail to the North. The campsite is very clean, tidy and safe. The main pebble parking area slopes gently to the North so you will want levelers if you're in a camper. I have a brand new RV Pedestal complete with 50 and 30amp service, a mechanical timer for the LED lights encompassing the parking area as well as a rheostat so you can dim the lights. I have a 40" firepit with spark arrestor (please use to be in compliance with local laws) as well as a polywood octagonal picnic table and well water with 100' hose. Trash and human waste is to be carried out. Please keep your camper to the east of the blue and yellow birdhouses as access to the building is needed. The location is great! You're inside the dunes national park and only 1.35 miles to the beach. Just north of the train tracks is the Calumet bike path. .35 to the west is a gas station with a bathroom, the south shore train station (day trip to Chicago anyone?), a great restaurant and liquor store as well. Bikes are HIGHLY recommended to be able to help facilitate your exploring of this very unique part of the country. If you're a birder and you don't already know, bring your binocs, this is one of the best birding towns in the Midwest / country due to the location and it's biodiversity.

Just 10 minutes north of Monticello, Indiana on the Tippecanoe River, you won’t be lost, but every care in the world – pfft! – gone. You’re just minutes from everything a vacation needs, and then pull back into Lost Acres and you’re a million miles away, woods on one side and wide-open countryside on the other. Find yourself at Lost Acres!
We planted Lost Acres in the prime spot of the lake area to give you the ultimate home base, a mature, quiet, private camp steps away from every exciting activity the area has to offer. Every RV guest enjoys complete electric, water, and sewer hookups. Everybody has access to WIFI, a well-stocked camp store, laundry, and a community clubhouse.
There are really two Lost Acres, well, two personalities. One is the go-getter partying at the pool, to live music, dancing, riding the wagon rides, playing cornhole games and bingo, doing crafts – really, you name it. Then there’s the laid-back, catch-up on your reading, snoozing, bird-watching, relaxing by the campfire type … you know the drill. We accommodate both.

Just 10 minutes north of Monticello, Indiana on the Tippecanoe River, you won’t be lost, but every care in the world – pfft! – gone. You’re just minutes from everything a vacation needs, and then pull back into Lost Acres and you’re a million miles away, woods on one side and wide-open countryside on the other. Find yourself at Lost Acres!
We planted Lost Acres in the prime spot of the lake area to give you the ultimate home base, a mature, quiet, private camp steps away from every exciting activity the area has to offer. Every RV guest enjoys complete electric, water, and sewer hookups. Everybody has access to WIFI, a well-stocked camp store, laundry, and a community clubhouse.
There are really two Lost Acres, well, two personalities. One is the go-getter partying at the pool, to live music, dancing, riding the wagon rides, playing cornhole games and bingo, doing crafts – really, you name it. Then there’s the laid-back, catch-up on your reading, snoozing, bird-watching, relaxing by the campfire type … you know the drill. We accommodate both.

I had planned on only staying the first night, but it was so peaceful and the host so accommodating that I decided to stay another night. Mike was kind enough to spend some time with me telling me about the land in the history surrounding it, as well as a brief tour of the various gardens and small store where they have fresh honey, jams, etc. lovely place and will love to stay here in the spring to see everything growing!

Two nicely laid out large shaded campsites facing a pond. Cute working farm between a field and what felt like busy suburban life driving in. Camp area was pretty quiet but I could hear traffic noises. Tables, grill, toilet and running water for hand washing.
They offer organic jams and sauces made there on the farm. A nice little addition that make Hipcamp sites unique.

The host, John, is a super nice guy and very accommodating. We showed up on the wrong date (by accident - my mistake) and he was very flexible about it and we ended up staying the night. Very nice campsites and we will definitely plan on coming back to visit.

Absolutely PERFECT private camping spot!! Geoff has done an immaculate job of setting up a well maintained and comfortable stay. 30amp plug in, hose to transfer water, fire pit and café lighting hung for ambiance. Timer and dimmer in the electric box. As it says in his profile, there is the e-train that goes by occasionally- but by no means does it minimize the stay! Geoff stopped by to welcome us, great guy. Had some common threads and ended up having a couple beers with him and great conversation. Ended up booking with him b/c the campgrounds were full - but will easily stay there again no matter what!

I slept in my car here in their secluded grassy patch, and it was so pretty! There was tall grass and a tree line blocking off any neighboring country houses, and the lot was a far distance from their own place to feel extremely private. The place well kept and mowed, and it was such a calm, pretty morning. I would definitely stay here again - a great price for my quick stay!
