Suggested Local Attractions:The World's Greatest Amateur Circus: Peru, Indiana, is also known as the "Circus City". In the late 1800s and early 1900s, Peru was home to the Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus and others. Even the Ringling Brothers Circus wintered there for a while. For 10 days each July, Peru celebrates the Circus City Festival with rides, crafts, food, games, and more. The highlight, however, is the live amateur circus that has performances throughout the festival. A unique and authentic experience that echoes the early heyday of the circus, this is a fun event not to be missed. Performers are locals, some of whom are direct descendants of professional performers in the earlier shows. Even if a visit is timed to occur outside of July, a visit to the small but impressive International Circus Hall of Fame might be worth the trip. Circus Hall of Fame is located 1.8 miles from Camp Ames.

🦬 5th Generation Bison Farm
Our family represents the fifth generation on this land, and we are excited to be raising the national mammal—the American bison—on the rich grass pastures of Northern Indiana. We follow agricultural rotational grazing methods to ensure our land and animals thrive.
We started our "hobby" herd in 2021 during the pandemic while searching for healthier food options. We knew bison was a superior source of protein, rich in both minerals and vitamins. Beyond being a healthy choice, bison are iconic symbols of American history and are truly majestic to observe here on the farm.
Shortly after starting our herd, we began receiving calls from other Hoosier families who wanted to purchase our products. We are now proud to provide bison for families across the state and beyond! Over the years, we have enjoyed meeting visitors from all over Indiana, many other states, and thirteen different countries.
We currently offer meat, skulls, and hides, as well as walking and wagon tours.

Earl and Lisa are super kind and accommodating hosts. My sons and I enjoyed our time, playing the yard games they provided and had great bonfires with the fire starters Lisa makes. The grounds were clean, simple and lovely. The out houses were clean and easy to use. We enjoyed the full hookup site with our camper but any of the spots seemed really nice from what we could see. Only bummer was the road noise, but that's not Earl and Lisa's fault and cannot be controlled. Just know there is some road noise as the property is nearby a major road. Otherwise, we absolutely loved our stay, which provided an easy drive to the Dunes for a day trip.

The hosts went above and beyond during our short stay. Assisting with camper issues, recommending a mobile repair tech (that we used and was very professional and timely), and just generally being very nice and accommodating.
Earl & Lisa are caring hosts, that checked on us and made sure we were set and had what we needed, including restocking our firewood and picking up some ice for us.
The full hookup site was large enough for our 32’ pull behind toy hauler & 3/4 ton pickup. The bathrooms and shower (hottest water) were clean and well supplied.
The site is nestled into a lovely area on the back of their property. There was some highway noise, but not enough to bother our sleep.
We enjoyed campfires and gazing at the stars. We would definitely stay here again!

Great site and all of them looked amazing. We stayed at the one electrical site and worked great. It’s next to the restrooms and shower. Very clean and the pond is wonderful. Earl and Lisa were great and keep a very tidy camp. Highly recommend staying here

Absolutely great people. Wayde went above and beyond. When I arrived there I had an electrical issue and my hot water heater would kick on. He called a buddy of his and 30 minutes later I had a guy at my camper. He couldn’t fix it that night because he came over at 6:30 at night. I gave him a key to my camper. When I got home from work the next day my electric issue was fixed and I could finally take a hot shower. It’s was Sunday night and Monday morning. To be treated like that from strangers was absolutely something I’ll always appreciate.

Our stay was great! We didn’t get to meet Beth, but Wayde was very kind and accommodating. We wanted to ride the nickel Plate Trail and Camp Ames was a 5 mile bike ride away. We would definitely recommend this quaint campground.

Wade was happy to come down and introduce himself and tell us anywhere was fine for us to hook up. Quiet, pristine and never heard our neighbors come in that night. Beautiful river view and pasture for us.

Shawn had a great set up and was a wonderful host! Location is beautiful and close to local eateries. If I'm ever in the area again, Shawn's spot would be my first choice!

Camp Ames is a very beautiful peaceful camp. Wayde and Beth were great hosts and very communicative. We did purchase the popcorn and I would highly recommend. It was very good! We will definitely be back.

Oh man! What an amazing place. Great private spot, great host, very accommodating and friendly, would 100% stay here again. Definitely a back in site as advertised we had a 30 foot travel trailer. But It was not too bad to navigate.
Concrete drive and level. Very quiet the whole week. Duck hunting season was happening during our visit so the mornings but I actually enjoyed listening to that in the morning while walking the dog. Great outdoors experience, quiet neighborhood
