1 night at Apple acres

Perfect spot! I was looking for a single spot to avoid other over crowded campgrounds, this was great—would definitely stay again, flush toilet/sink an added bonus!

Weekend Trip to Sugar Maple Grove Campground

Gorgeous and quiet property with clean facilities. The wildflowers were beautiful and his cats are very sweet! Definitely recommend to anyone passing through, Robert was super kind and a great host!

Weekend Trip to Sugar Maple Grove Campground

Great place! Plenty of space and great outhouse. We will be back!

1 night at Cedar Trail

It was perfect location for us. It was a quick stop and it was only 5 mins from the freeway. Easy to back in and hook up. WiFi worked great. It was last minute booking and they were very accommodating. We were pulling our 34’ 5th wheel and had no problem getting to the property. We also got to see lightning bugs :)

1 night at Havendell Farm and Wayside

Dave’s land is peaceful, quiet, and easy to get to. I had a nice spot in the grass by a wooden fence and it was mostly private. Dave is quick to respond and answer any questions. For me, it was a transit stop in route and I will be returning again.

7 nights at Havendell Farm and Wayside

We loved bringing our camper to Dave’s land. Beautiful place and very welcoming people. Definitely recommend getting the cinnamon rolls and brownies, they are soo good. Perfect place to go to bring your family, whether it be for visiting friends and family, getting away from the hustle and bustle of the city, or just staying somewhere close but not too close to Indianapolis. Very quiet and peaceful place to just be. Will definitely be coming back.

3 nights at Hidden Valley Fun Time Happy Camp!

We had a great time! Loved the site we had, it was right on the water. My granddaughters had a blast playing in the river and fishing.

Weekend Trip to Hidden Valley Fun Time Happy Camp!

Tent camping here was so beautiful and peaceful. Not many other people around, which was nice. The view was so beautiful. Makes one feel secluded yet not far away from everything. Would love to return.

3 nights at Hidden Valley Fun Time Happy Camp!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time camping here. Whitney was kind and showed us around the property when we arrived. He also mentioned a few good places around to eat as well. This camp spot is very close to town, less than 5 minute drive to Walmart. It was nice for going to get ice or anything you may have forgotten, but also know it is in Muncie. We caught a couple fish and or dogs enjoyed splashing in the river. We brought our popup camper and handle ample space to set up as well as access to electric. If you’re looking for something with access to water, close to town, but in the woods this was a great spot.

1 night at Hidden Valley Fun Time Happy Camp!

This is by far one of my most favorite places to camp, Whitney is the best host I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting I highly recommend staying at Hidden Valley Fun Time Happy Camp

1 night at Cedar Trail

Weekend Trip to Hidden Valley Fun Time Happy Camp!

Loved our tent/hammock experience here! We were right on the river and our kids enjoyed playing the whole time. Whitney was super kewl and helpful. He also has kayaks and offered to pick us up for a small fee and if we wanted to float the river and even told us about some cool places to check out nearby. We already plan on coming back next year

Weekend Trip to Nightfall Farm

A nice cozy cabin and Liz was very accommodating. I was a great place to spend the weekend!

Weekend Trip to Cattail Springs

We had a lovely time here. The hosts were total sweet hearts and good people. The site was beautiful and very quite and peaceful. The porta potty was clean and we were given firewood with the hosts just asking for a donation in return. The location is perfect as anything we needed / wanted to do was within 15 minutes from the site. The trees provided excellent shade as it was a very toasty weekend. The fireflys were abundant and we even happened to see fireworks the last night. Honestly, only slight complaint I have is the large amount of broken glass we found. A few pieces here and there is expected when camping outdoors but we found quite a lot. We made sure to clean it up as we didnt want any future guests getting hurt. Especially if any kids stay here who despise shoes as much as I do haha. I thank the hosts for allowing us the opportunity to stay on there property and get some much needed relaxation in. Would highly reccomend to bring extra bug spray as well.

Weekend Trip to Acacia Farms

Ample parking, easy access, close to town Flat nicely manicured lawn for the dogs Afternoon visit with the goats, super friendly and sweet. All the necessities for a comfortable stay, doing your business in a bucket wasn’t as terrible as I thought Showering outside was actually peaceful, bring your own toiletries there are towels supplied

1 night at Apple acres

We were unable to stay as a result of some car trouble. Jonathon was very understanding of our situation, and he offered another stay when we get back to Indiana.

4 nights at Havendell Farm and Wayside

Dave's land is close to all kinds of activities but the rural location is very peaceful.

1 night at Sugar Maple Grove Campground

As advertised. We went directly to our campsite and setup. We were the only campers there AFAIK. Easy to find as it is listed on Google maps. Private and nice looking property. Great views of the night sky.

Hidden Valley Fun Time Happy Camp!

9 sites · RVs, Tents8 acres · Muncie, IN

Once the secret speakeasy after dark spot for local political big wigs this property has been transformed from swampland to hidden gem right on the edge of America's Hometown of Muncie, Indiana! Welcome to Narnia! Or Atlantis!? Or... The Property? The Hidden Valley? We just haven't committed to a name yet so it's a little bit of everything all rolled into one! 8 acres on the magical Ganges, er, White River makes for a fun time. You can expect a certain amount of privacy while still potentially making a new friend or two depending on the night. You will be nestled under some giant sycamores, cottonwoods, black walnuts, catulpas, and a mess of bush honeysuckle that is always being battled! We have 2-3 sites directly on the river and then scores throughout with trails, hills, and other interesting features. Multiple firepits though I CANNOT guarantee firewood. There is often plenty to collect or available on site but if you can bring your own that'd be safest bet! We are (somehow) located partially inside Muncie city limits right on the river. Yes you may occasionally hear some trains or even particularly loud cars while camping deep in the woods but this is the tradeoff for a one mile drive to bars, restaurants, and groceries! Best of both worlds. The Muncie Eagles, whose nest resides directly across the river from us, do not seem to mind! This location is also directly on two main bike trail routes and our trails are fun for low impact mountain biking! We also have a small armada of kayaks/canoes on site; IF arranged that option does exist for cost of transport! We have 2 porta potties on site as well and fresh water hose available at main house. Looking forward to hosting!
