Misty Ridge Farm

My farm is a family friendly horse boarding and lesson farm. We are unique in that we specialize in recreational riding for all ages. Trail riding is a great way to experience horses and since we camp in all parts of the country we though it made sense to let others pitch a ten here.  We have loads of possibility around the farm to camp.  You can stay close to bathroom and civilization or take a hike to the top of one of our 800 foot hills!Learn more about this land:We have a grassy flat area out behind our barn for tent camping. Parking is within 200 feet from camp site. But adventurous people are able to hike up an 800 foot Hill and camp up on a ridge with a beautiful view of the area. In winter you can see Ohio River.  Possible tent site locations along a large creek.We are a working horse farm first!  So camper space is not always available.  Just depends on hay and horse trailer activity.  Sorry!!

Some of the farm residents that we got to meet

Area 2 campsite, view of back of main barn

Pictured is our beloved Red Bud Meadow, where we had our first picnic as brand new homesteaders with two small boys, and where over last 35 years so many memories have been created, like the one seen here, a cowboy campout we did for our boys & their friends. 

Camping Along the Old Bison Trail

Peaceful Secluded Campsites are what you want.  Several beautiful settings will be what you get and much much more.

Our campsites lie along the Old Buffalo Trace, the name given by early pioneers to the massive trail left by centuries of migrating bison that traveled right through this property.

Making their way between salt and mineral licks along the Ohio and Kentucky Rivers, these herds were part of the plentiful wild game which was the reason so many local native tribes referred to old "Cain-tuk-ee" as their "Happy Hunting Ground".

Our 7 campsites are constructed on "The Old Coates Homestead" where we make our home in the original 1858 Homestead house which we recently restored and where we make our delicious  gourmet foods.  (learn more here: www.steepleviewfarmstore.com)

We have sites to fit everyone's needs.  Five sites are accessible by vehicle.  Two are "walk in" only.  

The vehicle accessible sites range from sites for one tent, pop up or van campers, to our featured site "Thistledown Gathering Place" which a large group size setting great for scouting trips, church groups, multi-family camping and parties of up to 16 people.

Each site has a fire ring, fire wood is available for purchase,  we offer clean and well maintained portable toilets, municipal drinking water, hiking trails, and lots and lots of wildlife to help you commune with the absolute beauty of this peaceful farm named Steepleview Farm (learn more here: www.steepleviewfarm.com).

But camping isn't the only reason to choose Steepleview Farm.  It becomes base camp for so many people looking to take in the amazing itinerary of activities so close by.  Here are just a few:

The Ark Encounter

The Creation Museum

Historic Old Frankfort (state capitol) with historic home and capitol tours

Historic Madison Indiana, a river captains town of magnificent homes and a quaint little town for strolling, or the Madison Regatta or the BBQ festival

Big Bone Lick State Park, massive prehistoric dinosaur dig

Buffalo Trace Distillery

Neeley Family Distillery

Belterra Casino

Clifty Falls State Park

Old Frankfort Cemetery, burial site of Daniel and Rebecca Boone

and so much more....

And don't forget, the history of this place makes your stay that much more than just a night in a campground.  You will be sleeping among the spirits of history, the native Americans who hunted this land, the earliest pioneers who mapped it for the expansion west, the early 1800's homesteaders who cleared and worked the land with teams of horses, the centuries of tobacco farmers who shipped their goods to market on the many rivers and streams that surround you.

We work very hard to make this THE best camping destination you will find anywhere.  And, upcoming.........Pioneer Log Cabins.  We have recently acquired a collection of log cabins for a true to life, historic reenactment staycation.  

We are fortunate that one of the cabins was the frontier church known as "Shilo Baptist Church" from 1830-1840.  The pastor of this church baptized Abraham Lincoln's father and is credited with having changed his attitudes toward ending slavery.

Our hiking trails and nature trails bring you lots of knowledge, peace, shade, cool breezes and you can bring your horse (no motorized recreational vehicles) oh and lots of wildlife viewing.

Here are a few of our featured campsites:

 

REDBUD MEADOW: Our first campsite used by hundreds of people over the years.

 A secluded lawn in the midst of redbud trees, easy to drive to and from with a pile of firewood and a metal fire ring.

 The premier site on our property.

 

THE BAPTISMAL POND: As history goes the pond in front of this site was used in the 1800's for baptisms for the church visible from everywhere on the farm, thus our name.

This is a tent site, easy to drive into and out of, fires permitted in season.

THISTLEDOWN GATHERING PLACE: This is a very large meadow, surrounded by trees with the capacity for large groups, many tents and gatherings of lots of people.

Very level, easy in and out with vehicles. Fires permitted in season.
