The farm adjoins the 75 acre Stranger Hills Organic farm, the oldest organic farm in Indiana. Our 1899 Farmhouse is the only residence on the entire farm. There is a 3000 acre farm to our south. The area is quiet and very private. The campsites are in a grassy walnut grove by a small creek that runs along the eastern border of the property. We have a white deer creek cabin tent on a platform there and 3 or 4 nice level campsites to the north. There are 3 RV sites at the top of a small hill with 30 amp service. We can accommodate a large RV on packed gravel with 50 amp service. the farm is located 15 minutes east of McCormicks Creek State Park. There is a composting toilet and an on demand hot shower in a small building adjacent to the campsites. There is a YMCA about five minutes East of the property. We now have a no dog policy. I haven’t been able to change it on the site.

My husband and I loved our stay here! It was quiet, everyone was friendly, and there was so much there to keep us busy. One of our teenagers even stayed one night with us with their friend and loved it just as much! We are already thinking about staying seasonally. It’s just a short 30 minute drive from our house but made us feel like we were on a getaway.

It was great using our pop up at sleeping bear's. The property is well maintained and quiet. I do wish some of the Halloween things weren't out all year round on the paths and what not, but I understand and it didn't hinder our experience. My son loved the scary Halloween things but my daughter (4) wasn't a big fan.
We will be back again for another stay in years to come.
Thank you again!

My family and I traveled to Bloomington, IN for the April 8, 2024 Solar Eclipse. This property is in a beautiful location only a few miles from Indiana University. We tent camped next to Kerr Creek -- so peaceful and quiet-- which is amazing considering our close proximity to downtown Bloomington and the IU campus.
Following the solar eclipse we were fortunate to meet our camp host Kelly -- where we discussed the amazing eclipse event we all just experienced together. Kelly was very generous with his personal time -- going so far as to give us a walking tour of the surrounding state forest adjacent to his property. This guided hike through the forest included finding six large morel mushrooms which Kelly shared with us -- a most gracious gesture on his part. Meeting Kelly was definitely one of the highlights our trip. We look forward to staying at Kerr Creek again in the future.

Matt has a nice large cleared and mowed lot. He accommodated all of our needs and checked in on us several times over a couple days to see if we needed anything. He has an area for RV people like us where there is water and electricity, and he has lots of room for more rustic camping.
The spot is located just a few minutes from town, yet is secluded enough to have a country feel. I would have no hesitation in staying here again. Great Host.

This was our 4th time staying at Kerr Creek and we will absolutely be coming back! Kerr Creek has become our favorite weekend getaway. Our families live in Bloomington so being able to camp close to them on the weekends, has been memorable. Kelly allows us to have our family and friends out to enjoy his beautiful property. We’re hoping we’ll actually get to meet Kelly the next time we stay. ☺️
