Camping near Thorntown

·

About midway between Indianapolis and Lafayette, the small town of Thorntown offers an easy camping escape from the big city. Pitch a tent next to a private creek on a working farm, or try a unique stay in a tiny home where friendly animals wander by. For some exercise, head east to Shades State Park and tackle the 6 Ravine Hiking Challenge, or relax with a picnic on the banks of Sugar Creek. Try canoe camping, backpacking, or traditional camping sites—all options give perfect views of the starry constellations in Indiana’s darkest skies. North of Thorntown, Prophetstown State Park sits at the meeting place of the Wabash and Tippecanoe Rivers. Spend the day hiking and cycling before cooling off at the park’s aquatic center, where a pool and waterslides await on hot days. Stay for a bit at RV sites with full hookups as well as access to a dump station and a bathhouse by the Aquatic Center.

Enjoy a stay at Heritage Farm and experience all the exhilaration that an Indiana farm has to offer. Heritage Farm is a working alpaca farm with over 50 alpacas you can watch and interact with. Also residing on the farm are a flock of chickens, several goats. The newest addition to the farm is a pair of small breed Kune Kune pigs! If you want to, you can help with the daily chores of feeding the animals and collecting eggs. After that, you can explore the big red barn that was selected as one of the top-ten Bicentennial barns in the state. Roam around the 120 acre homestead, woods and creek and soak in the sights, sounds and smells of the farm. Be sure to visit our farm store before you leave where you can shop for alpaca products such as sweaters, hats, mittens and scarves. Pick up some farm fresh eggs from our flock of pastured chickens! Heritage Farm has several options for overnight lodging. One of the most popular places to stay is in our authentic 1850's log cabin. And it's certainly special to us as well. The cabin represents a valued part of our heritage. It reminds us every day of our agricultural roots, solid values and the importance of faith and family. Our Philosophy You want to have a wonderful stay at Heritage Farm and we want that for you too. This is your retreat for however long you are staying and we hope you'll be relaxed, comfortable and happy. Our Faith Our Christian faith is important to us. We have been so richly blessed with this farm and sharing it with others is what God has called us to do. We strive to show God's love to our guests by exceeding their needs and expectations and by inviting them to enjoy his beautiful creation. We abide by what it says in the Bible in 1 Peter 4:9-10: "Cheerfully share your home with those who need a place to stay. God has given each of us a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another." Valuing Our Past, Building for the Future Our mission at Heritage Farm is to apply that same pioneer spirit and value system to our alpaca business and Farm Stay enterprise. We are dedicated to working hard to provide the best of care to our herd and our overnight guests. Visit us on Facebook: facebook.com/heritagefarmstays

Large secluded cove near our barn and garden. Watch the sun come up from the orchard. There is 1 electrical plug so not all 3 spaces have electric but you can run a cord. There is also a single water spigot to share as well. There are 2 houses somewhat visible through the trees but no direct line of sight and otherwise private. We have 2 dogs, Whiskey and Barb, Whiskey will usually keep her space but bark, if you ignore her she will be friendly, acts mean but never bites. Barbara is a Jack Russell. She will jump in the truck if you don't tell her not to and will happily run off with snacks. We ask you please don't feed them as it will teach them to come for food and some people don't appreciate the dogs..  This is a farm so you may see and smell animals. Depending on when you book you may even be somewhat near animals. Be aware of this and be ready to keep dogs contained. We typically run pigs in the woods around the cove but we move them regularly and keep the smell to a minimum by doing so.

There is also a single water spigot to share as well. There are 2 houses somewhat visible through the trees but no direct line of sight and otherwise private. We have 2 dogs, Whiskey and Barb, Whiskey will usually keep her space but bark, if you ignore her she will be friendly, acts mean but never bites. Barbara is a Jack Russell. She will jump in the truck if you don't tell her not to and will happily run off with snacks. We ask you please don't feed them as it will teach them to come for food and some people don't appreciate the dogs..  This is a farm so you may see and smell animals. Depending on when you book you may even be somewhat near animals. Be aware of this and be ready to keep dogs contained. We typically run pigs in the woods around the cove but we move them regularly and keep the smell to a minimum by doing so.

Just 10 minutes north of Monticello, Indiana on the Tippecanoe River, you won’t be lost, but every care in the world – pfft! – gone. You’re just minutes from everything a vacation needs, and then pull back into Lost Acres and you’re a million miles away, woods on one side and wide-open countryside on the other. Find yourself at Lost Acres! We planted Lost Acres in the prime spot of the lake area to give you the ultimate home base, a mature, quiet, private camp steps away from every exciting activity the area has to offer. Every RV guest enjoys complete electric, water, and sewer hookups. Everybody has access to WIFI, a well-stocked camp store, laundry, and a community clubhouse. There are really two Lost Acres, well, two personalities. One is the go-getter partying at the pool, to live music, dancing, riding the wagon rides, playing cornhole games and bingo, doing crafts ­– really, you name it. Then there’s the laid-back, catch-up on your reading, snoozing, bird-watching, relaxing by the campfire type … you know the drill. We accommodate both.

Johnathan’s spot totally exceeded my expectations. This is a terrific spot for RVers, given the available hookups. I just had a roof tent, but the extra high carport kept everything from getting wet in a blow-through rainstorm, and the fire pit was a lovely way to wind down after a long day on the road. I highly recommend the breakfast add-on to get a little fuel in you. It’s nothing fancy, but it is tasty and delivered when you need it. It’s a beautiful, quiet property — wish I’d stayed longer than one night to explore the trails around the property. Also, my dog loved it.

It was beautiful watching the sunset. over the alpacas in the field. As we sat by the fire making dinner. Friendly kitties almost took one home in our pocket… they were just so darn cute! But our Harry ( spoiled kitty) wanted nothing to do with the cute animals. Wonderful stuff purchased at their store that was made from the farm.

Dwight gave us great directions to avoid the back country roads which made getting there easier than GPS was going to get us there. We enjoyed the quiet country setting at Happy Campers. Dwight was friendly and checked with us each day when we were fishing to see if we needed anything. My favorite was his kitty that seemed to greet each quest at their site as they arrived. She loved to spend time with us around the pond watching the ducks and snuggle by the fire in the evening. We definitely enjoyed her company! We will be back when the fish are biting! Thanks Dwight!

Heritage Farm was such a great getaway to slow down and soak in nature’s sounds and farm life! We enjoyed it all- from hiking in the woods with the goats to feeding and walking the alpacas! All experiences we have never had. Our daughters (ages 3 & 5) especially loved the huge slide down the hill and the adorable cats and kittens to play with. Tim and Beth are wonderful hosts! If you’re looking for a great place to unwind and reset, Heritage Farm is truly the place to escape to!

We absolutely loved our experience at Heritage Farms, the camping sites were very clean and well kept. There were a couple of farm cats that kept us company the whole time and they were as sweet as they could be. The bathrooms were very clean and well maintained, and always stocked with all of our needs. The host were extremely welcoming and very pleasant to talk to. I can’t say enough nice things about this place. There’s lots of alpacas that next time we would like to feed and mingle with. We will definitely be back and see ourselves spending quick getaways here in the future.

The grape escape fulfilled my wanderlust garden fairy needs. The sleeping accommodations were magical and cozy, provided with just the right amount of fairy lights and very fitting reading material. The outdoor kitchen was also accommodating, I didn’t need to pack much which was extra appreciated. This cozy little tucked in camping spot had fun trinkets and treasures inside the site itself and along the hiking areas. I spent most of my time in the hammock by the fire, which is heaven to me. ◡̈

WINERIES, BREWERIES AND RESTAURANTS RIGHT DOWN THE STREET! Were right outside of the heartbeat of Indianapolis with about a 15 min drive to reach the city, and just a couple min off of I-69 in a friendly and safe (2 doors down from the new Police station) residential farm area. Its about a 4 min drive to Center Grove, Mallow Run Winery (free tastings!), Taxman Brewery and amazing downtown Bargersville (check out Pizza and Libations, UpCellar, Coffeehouse Five or the Farmers Market on Wed evenings). Soccer and Football fields are also just a couple min walk from your camper. Miles of paved biking/walking paths connect to our property. Golfing at Hickory Stick golf course is just a few doors down or head down the street to Kephart Park for some pickleball or splash pad fun for the kids. Fishing on property is available anytime at our pond stocked with Bass, Catfish, Redear, and Sunfish. Bring your gear and fish your heart out! The camping space is located right in front of our brand-new pole barn on 10 acres, your site will feature a nice grassy area with a few apple and pear trees. Feel free to grab a few fresh snacks off a tree if the fruit is in season. Views to the S/SW capture amazing sunset views of the Bargersville Watertower. 30Amp Electricity and Water hookup is available right at your campsite. 46feet max length for your rig/trailer. Additional vehicle parking available next to your site. Long term rates are available, please reach out.

Camp Friend was founded in 1951 when 83-year-old John George Friend donated 51.5 acres of wooded land—most of his property—“for the benefit of the youth of Putnam County.” To manage and preserve this gift, the Putnam Friend of Youth Foundation was established, ensuring that young people continue to enjoy the natural beauty of the land for generations to come. John and his son worked as gardeners for several Greencastle families, including the Barnabys, who owned a lumber yard and sawmill and contributed generously to the community. John likely felt encouraged to donate the wooded acreage due to his association with the Barnabys and his love for spending time in nature with his grandchildren. His gift allows all guests to appreciate and explore the great outdoors.
