The Vintage Farm

17 sites · RVs, Tents2 acres · New Whiteland, IN
I have two acres in the country while only about 10 minutes from a nice sized city with plenty of restaurants, movie theatres and shopping. I'm only 5 minutes from an arcade with go-karting and putt-putt golf. My red barn was built in the 1800s and really adds to the charm of the property. I have a fully fenced yard, if you have pets I would be happy to share with them so they would have space to run while you're here.

Marick Acres

6 sites · RVs, Tents18 acres · Carthage, IN
What once started in the mid 1800's as a 240 acre sugar maple tree farm is now our little 18 acres of heaven on earth. Our house was built in 1875 and for those who love old houses, tours can be arranged! The land is rolling and dotted with flower beds, animals, and beautiful green grass that is mowed weekly. We are bordered by fields and a cemetery that dates back to the 1800's. We are neighbors with those who grow crops, raise beef cows, bison, and alpacas. 2 blocks from our driveway is Blue River which offers fishing, kayaking, tubing, and canoeing (if you have your own equipment). Town is 2 minutes away, but there is not much there other than a convenience gas station, thrift shop, a nic-nac store that still sells penny candy, and an engine repair shop. "Civilization" is a 30 minute drive to find movies, grocery, shopping, and a public pool. The sky appears to be scattered with diamonds on a clear night and during season the fireflies light the trees up like twinkling lights at Christmas! Learn more about this land: We have an 18 acre mini farm, close to a small town and near a river. We have two small ponds that can be fished in during the spring, wildlife, and birds to watch.  There are 6 very nice areas for camp sites that allow for privacy and relaxation. Each site has a fire pit and table. We also have just put in a new out house and have a port-a-potty for our campers to use. We are 10 minutes from Interstate 70 and only 30 minutes from Indianapolis. If you are just passing through or arriving late,  let us know and we will be happy to have a campfire started for you. Accommodations can be made for group camping!  We also have a gazebo that can be used for weddings and vow renewals. Officiant on site.

Blue Ridge Heritage Farm

204 sites · RVs, Tents60 acres · Shelbyville, IN
Welcome to Blue Ridge Heritage Farm, a slice of history nestled on a sprawling land grant encompassing over 70 acres. This picturesque landscape seamlessly combines tillable farm grounds, lush pastures, serene meadows, dense woodlands, and a charming orchard. As an added touch, a meandering creek flows from the nearby Little Blue River, creating a harmonious backdrop for the diverse wildlife that calls the farm home. Immerse yourself in the enchantment of summer on the farm, where the flickering light of fireflies illuminates the night, owls serenade with their hoots, and the distant sounds of coon dogs echo from the local hunt club. Underneath a canopy of bright stars, Blue Ridge Heritage Farm offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. In our commitment to preserving this idyllic setting, we reinvest 100% of our proceeds into the restoration of the three barns that grace the property. Among them, the grandest barn stands as a testament to artisanal craftsmanship with its hand-hewn construction—a potential venue for future events, where memories can be woven into the fabric of this historic space. Venture beyond the farm, and you'll discover the charm of the historic Shelbyville square, where antique stores beckon exploration, and inviting shops and eateries await. For the outdoor enthusiast, the Blue River Trail provides an opportunity to bike or stroll amidst nature's beauty. A mere five-minute drive away, Blue River Memorial Park boasts a trailhead and kayak drop, inviting adventure seekers to explore the waterways. Don't be surprised if you chance upon live music performances, adding a melodic note to your summer sojourn. Blue Ridge Heritage Farm invites you to partake in the beauty of the land, where the past meets the present, and each visit is an opportunity to create lasting memories in a setting that resonates with history and natural splendor.

Hidden Valley Fun Time Happy Camp!

30 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!
