I had a great experience at The Hollow at Cattail Springs! I was the only one onsite during my time there, so I had the whole place available to me. There was plenty of firewood so the fire stayed hot, I had complete access to the pond, and I had ample time of solitude which I was after. I couldn't recommend booking through Cole enough! He was there waiting for me when I arrived and was like talking to someone I had known for a long time. Thanks for the hospitality!

The landscape here is beautiful. Lots of wetland life. This particular campsite is great for car and tent camping. Easy in easy out. Near toilet. One side is small rocks the other side is soil. The soil can become mud with heavy rain but as Cole and Janel further develop their camp each week it’s getting better and better. They put lots of passion into their work and are super great hosts. The week I was there they were installing a stream that runs from the top of the hill to the pond. What a cool feature and this will help mask the sound of the highway.

This is my new favorite camping spot in Indiana!! It's a quiet, hidden little gem. Our camping spot, The Hollow, was nestled between a couple other spots but there was so much room and privacy away from others, and each spot is settled around a really nice pond where you can fish or take a nice walk around. No electricity or running water, so there's no shower which would be a nice addition but we don't mind either way. The owner welcomed us upon arrival and was so kind and welcoming. We would have stayed there all week if we could have! 10/10 totally recommend!!

The Campsites are in a very peaceful location, by a placid lake surrounded by the shade of a forest. It’s close to nature. I went to sleep to a chorus of bullfrogs croaking woke up to a choir of birds singing to the rising sun. The Campground at the State Park was full, but Cattail Springs offered more space, solitude and nearness to nature. I would recommend it to anyone.

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

This place is so amazing!! A must stay if you’re passing through. Gorgeous little tiny home, charming decor, and right in the goat pasture!! The outdoor shower looked out on the herd of little goats and it was just so magical! What a wonderful gem! The host was super responsive and accommodating, making sure my dog’s needs were considered. Absolutely check this spot out!!

Weekend Trip to Acacia Farms
My partner and I wanted to dip our toes into the glamping life, and Acacia Farms was the perfect place for us to do this! The property is lovely and the tiny cabin adorable with all the finishing touches to make it feel homey. We absolutely LOVED the goats and the barn cats (if you love intense kitty snuggles, you are going to have a ball with PK, the tuxedo cat ❤️ The self check in process was a breeze and we had complete privacy. I can’t wait to return with my grandson!
