30 minutes to be dazzled by Caitlin Clark and Fever, Colts, Pacers or Indy Indians AAA Ball, 40 to the Indy 500 track in Speedway, IN or 35 to Indy's World-famous Children's Museum, or 45 to visit the Architectural "Athen's of the Praire" in Columbus.
We currently have re-opened 1 primitive+ site plus 1 Class A RV or 2-3 Camper sites available (Primitive+).
Our secluded riparian area at the confluence of Sugar Creek and East Little Sugar (aka Snail Creek) has been operated by our family as a place of solitude, relaxation, river fishing and canoeing for over 100 years*. 'Indians' camped here year-round before the Pioneers arrived in 1821. During the early-1800s, a stagecoach station on the Cincinnati-Indianapolis line was built upon the Indian village. (Yes, stagecoaches in Indiana - that's how even Easterners got around before railroads).
During WWII our Camp provided RnR for soldiers, sailors and Army aviators stationed at the numerous training bases and facilities in/around Indianapolis and Central Indiana. It was our Granddad's Duty Station at age 60 while Grandma ran the canteen.

Nice secluded and quiet little camp on a lazy river. Tom was easy to work with and very responsive. He answered my pre-trip questions within hours. I had a chance to meet Tom as I was leaving and it was great to get to know him and hear how his family has managed the property over the years. The camp itself is set in a quiet section of rural Indiana so you'll navigate a few miles off the freeway through cornfields and stands of hardwoods. The entry to the camp is through a gate in their field. You are close to other neat and tidy little homesteads and small farms, but the camp site is set well back from the road and is quiet and private. The road back is unpaved and you are driving essentially on a mowed grass strip on the edge of the farmers field until you get to the campground. Most vehicles will do fine, but you may not want to bring a low vehicle. There is room for likely 2-3 independent campers there if they spread out, the area has some nice little clearings in the trees, but the clearings are modest so a single vehicle or a vehicle with a small trailer would be best. I had a large SUV and was towing a small 7 foot wide by 15 foot long trailer (tongue to tail) and it was manageable. There is no water or electricity to the camp. But there is a clean porta potty and nice touches like plenty of trash cans, a picnic table, and Tom has been very good to supply plastic tubs of some standard camping items and things you may have forgotten.

We really enjoyed our stay here! The site was not only beautiful, but very well maintained and clean. My boys enjoyed exploring the land and cooling off in the river. Thomas was quick to respond to any questions we had and offer suggestions for food. I would definitely recommend the camp site/ host to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway!

One of my favorite Hipcamp sites yet. The bathroom is so cute and such a game changer for camping. We were also able to catch a lot of fish in the pond. Would totally recommend and would love to come back.

Easy, simple communication with host. Easy to find location, not far from necessities. Spacious area, large pond. Some premade firepit areas. Plenty of wildlife. I'd give the fishing a C+, probably dependent of time of year, only caught Bluegill. Overall great experience and place.

Lisa and Dennis were incredible hosts who take exceptional care of their land and visitors. Our family of 4+pup enjoyed 2 nights camping, wine tasting, fishing, and much more. The privacy of our stay was paramount and this site more than satisfied our needs. We have been home for 5 hours and already miss this place and are planning our next trip. Do yourself a favor and book a stay at this beautiful property!! The selections of wine are amazing and unique! Dennis was an incredible wealth of knowledge and took great care of us during the wine tasting as well as every other part of our stay!

Lisa and Dennis were such wonderful hosts! This was our first camping trip with our toddler and we couldn’t have found a better spot for our first outing with him! We loved fishing in the pond and enjoyed the fire pits. One of the most special things were the fairy lanterns that came on around the property after the sun went down. The bathroom was a top-notch amenity, too! Lisa and Dennis gave us a wonderful tour of their property and we enjoyed meeting all their animals (dogs, cats and Cajun the potbelly pig). We would absolutely come back again!

If you need to get away and recharge you won't find a better place anywhere around Indy. Perfect spot for a quick get away and close enough if you forget something DoorDash can bring it to you lol. Don't forget your marshmallows

Weekend Trip to Restwood Camp
The view of the creek is beautiful and it was a quiet and peaceful campsite. The privacy and seclusion was a needed break from the city. Tom was an excellent host: helpful, responsive, and the included firewood onsite was a 5 star perk on a cold night. The site was clean, secluded, yet conveniently close to the interstate. We had no problem finding the place with google maps and Toms instructions. The star gazing at night was great! We saw deer, birds, and other wildlife by the water. Overall, 10/10 we look forward to returning!
