Whitney was so wonderful! We had to make a sudden change in plans and they were very accommodating. Communication was top notch. We will definitely be staying with them in the futures!

We were able to park wherever we wanted on the property. Super quiet spot once the sun went down.

Whitney was great, he welcomed us into the camp, started the fire for us as we came in from out of town after sunset. We would recommend staying there, & will more than likely travel through that way to see Whitney again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay on Whitney's property! The place is easy to use, the river was calming and the place is full of whimsy. Very close to shops, if needed. Whitney was quick to respond and showed us around before we set up camp.

Nice little place to camp and get away from college! Loved the little trails but the entrance was the coolest thing! The host was nice and communicative the whole time!

Tina and Ron are awesome hosts with a great location - just far enough off the beaten path, but still convenient for travelers passing through for one night on a road trip.
I was a same day reservation and communication was top notch. I knew before I arrived that I had made the right choice.
Ron met me upon my arrival and directed me to my site. Had a wonderful night’s sleep in a peaceful location. I will definitely stay here again when I am passing through this part of Indiana. Thanks for a great stay!

First time camping with my two boys. Whitney made the experience very enjoyable for all. Greeted us upon arrival and provided us with a tour of the property. The site was perfect for a quick getaway. Will definitely return!

This place is an absolute gem of a spot. Hosts were exceptional - friendly, attentive and really excited to share their special place in the woods with others. There is SO much to explore on the intertwining web of trails. Look for BigFoot in the woods, hike the mini Appalachian and Kentucky Bourbon Trails - all created by Whitney, the host, and his imagination in creating a great space. This place is fantastic for families with kids, but also sparks delight in the imaginations of elder campers too! It allows for more mature parties to have some privacy to feel like they are alone in the wilderness. We are so happy we stumbled across this Hipcamp posting, and we will be recommending this place to all of our local friends for future adventures! Thank you Whitney and Casey!

Amazing spot with enough privacy and yet still close enough to other campers if you want company. Beautiful property right on the river either well curated trails and river walks. Whitney was friendly, trusting, and even accommodated our request for a specific type of site. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to feel like you’re away from the city but still close enough for beer/food runs if needed.

Thank you for the great adventure Whitney we really appreciate you.

Great site located close to the river and within a short distance of stores. You can hear traffic, but you definitely cannot see it. Everything about the site is a fairy tale. A lot of work has gone into the site to make it feel like an escape. We felt safe and could relax. The owner and his family were friendly and helpful.
They checked in with us a few times during our stay and brought us a beverage and toilet paper.
The only things that could make this site better would be the option of an electric hookup and a fresh porta-potty with a latching door.

Whitney's property is a hidden gem! Located close to restaurants/gas stations/etc but you feel all alone in the woods at the same time. Upon arrival, Whitney met me and showed me to my campsite. Nestled close to the White River was a fire pit and trails meandering through the woods. We also spent a couple hours at nearby Mounds State Park. My dogs and I had a blast. Highly recommend!

Such a fun place to stay, especially with our kids. The campsite was large and pretty private, and the trails and river were great for exploring. We loved it.

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.
