3 nights at Filbert Gold Getaway

We will continue to stay at Filbert Gold Getaway! This site works very well for our camping set up. Our dogs absolutely love it! We also purchased several bottles of Maple Syrup they make on their farm. Delicious and fun to share with a story of its origin with Family & Friends! Try this site…you won’t be disappointed!!

We had a fantastic stay at this private campsite in Indiana with our two dogs. The spot was perfect—quiet, private, and equipped with full hookups. The host and her family were incredibly welcoming and even showed us how they make their delicious syrup, which we happily bought. The landscape was beautiful, with horses across the street and cornfields surrounding us. A great place to relax and enjoy nature. Highly recommend!

Or, you can park your vehicle facing away from the river.

Weekend Trip to Graber Oasis

I can’t speak highly enough about Dave and Shari Graber. They were incredibly hosts that made us feel like family. From a true farm experience to amazing kayaking and fishing, we did not want to leave. Just a great time with great people.

To start the directions were easy and Shari and David were there to great us. They have a couple hundred acres and the camp site is in the back 40... which they led the way to our beautiful spot by the river. There were plenty of parking options for our trailer to which we backed in under the trees. There is fresh water, picnic table, fire pit and garbage can. There are kayaks available for use in the river...WOW! Sunrises and sunsets were spectacular. It is completely hidden from any civilization. Great place to camp!

Weekend Trip to Filbert Gold Getaway

Passed through for 1 night, but would recommend this peaceful, well maintained place. Hosts were welcoming, communication great, and shared local info for stores, entertainment, etc. They have friendly horses across the road we enjoyed saying hello to. Watched butterflies and fireflies in the flower field next to the site & enjoyed beautiful sunset scenery. Full hook ups were nice. Would recommend a spicket that guests have access to turn on/off water. It was inaccessible due to being connected to the inside of their business building. Site was just as described/ pictured with concrete and limestone (pitched slightly to direct water away from building) but easy to level, easy to find location, easy to back into/exit. We'd definitely book again if we were back in the area. Thanks again Brandi for sharing your property with us!

Shari and David were incredible hosts. If you want a no frills, beautiful, private, and unique stay, stay here. We will absolutely seek to stay here again if we are in the area. We had travel troubles and didn’t arrive until midnight and they stayed awake to meet us and guide us to our spot. We were grateful for their hospitality, flexibility, and understanding. An absolutely awesome stay!
