A small stream runs through the property and forms a rocky delta in Red Bank Creek. All camp sites are on the eastern border and close to the main road to access property. Hike, enjoy the sound of the stream tickling through property, stargaze, or rest, watch nature's critters, read or just relax in a hammock.

No running water or flush toilets on sites unless in your self-contained camper. A compost loo provided. Lots of kindling can be easily gathered for a fire. Consider ordering some ahead of time if it has been raining though. There is a tarp and a wheelbarrow to collect logs and kindling and move to your site.

The rich history of Burnhead Grazings is enveloped in a love for God's creation. Dr. Gib and Emmy Lou McLaughlin purchased Burnhead, which is Gaelic for the head of the stream, from William H. Stevens. The once pasture for Hilltop Dairy's cows became a pasture for sheep. Gib and Emmy had been in search of land for years after getting their first border collie and falling in love with the Shepherd lifestyle. Gib trained dozens of border collies to work the sheep and did hundreds of demonstrations highlighting the herding abilities of the collie across the country. Their love for Scotland and the border collie took them Scotland on many occasions. Burnhead Grazings is a snapshot of Scotland, "in bye" or close to, the beautiful college town of Indiana, PA. Less than two miles from two hotels, three miles from downtown, and within minutes from Amish country, it is amazing that this respite still exists so close to civilization. Gib and Emmy's daughter, Moire McLaughlin Bridges and her husband Randy have endeavored to bring the sheep back to Burnhead Grazings and to continue the family tradition as well as to share in the experience. You can listen to an interview on The Christian Witness Program on this page for some history about Moire and Randy in Tennessee where they were residing before coming to Indiana. They are producing lamb, wool for spinning and felting, and hay and are opening up the farm for small events such as weddings or family reunions. Moire is also the author and illustrator of a children's book available for sale on iBooks called Sissy & The King. In November of 2014, with the help of Hilltop Baptist Church and many others, they began hosting an event, LIFE Nativity, the weekend before Thanksgiving, which benefits Life-Way Pregnancy Center. Moire is also a fine artist and gives classes on wool felting. Ask about signing up for a class or book a private felting party.

Weekend Trip to Mountain View Camping

The a frame was super cute, kept us dry, and the the restroom set up was really convenient. The land is beautiful, with a little stream, mossy and lush. No complaints other than the aframe is not sealed like a tent would be, so there were a lot of bugs in there all night. Not just mosquitoes or flies but spiders, caterpillars, slugs, ect. There is a really nice mattress in there, but its a single so it makes the set up much better suited to one person. Although he did provide a pretty nice inflatable camp pad for the second person, just was not the comfiest or most roomy but thats to be expected and of no fault to the host. There is a bit of a walk down a trail from the parking area to the camping area. The host was kind and very communicative.

My husband, myself and our golden retriever, Nala, had a wonderfully relaxing kid free weekend. Monique was quick to respond to any questions and met was very friendly and kind when we met her face to face. Urban Saddle Ranch had comfortable and clean cabins, adorable animals, and was well maintained. We loved listening to the water feature in the pond and the bullfrogs at night. We will be back!

Richard is the best, most accommodating, communicative host. He went out of his way to get me what I needed. The site is as advertised, bring a good sleeping pad. I would go back in a heartbeat. He also has an RV if you need a mattress and on demand hot water. Definitely give Richard's site a stay!

Weekend Trip to Neal Homestead Camp Sites

This was the perfect little space to get away from life in the winter. The little propane heater was enough to warm up the space in the middle of the night and early morning. I didn't have the right gear to hike in the snow but I will be back to try out the trails in the spring! There was plenty of fire wood and a solo stove which we didn't really use but I appreciate that it was available. Also the hosts were very friendly and offered extra lights and things to make my stay more cozy. I will most definitely be back with better gear ❤️ Thank you again for making this quiet space available for people to get away from the busy world!

Who ever Mimi is, she’s got a nice shed! It is exactly what you would expect a shed in the woods to be. It is unfinished in the inside but comes with basic camping goods like stoves, some pans, fire pit, and some water. We luckily did bring our own lantern since the indoor lighting is not super bright. Nothing fancy, but a step up from a tent for sure! We arrived late at night which made finding the shed a little more difficult. I think a few little outdoor lights could help quite a bit! By the way, if you hear screaming through the woods close by, it’s just the goats.

Burnhead Grazing is a portal to bygone treasures. Come if you yearn for deep rest. Come if you'd like to feel the Living Spirit of True Welcome from hosts Randy and Moire who embody it, and from the embrace of the place itself ( pond, idyllic stream, lush forest, pasture lands, wildlife and farm animals!) Come too for the breakfasts, and for the nourishments that you'll long remember , even after you're long gone....

My favorite part were the animals. For my morning coffee routine I always got greeted by the two cats and a Dobsy the sheep. My kids absolutely enjoyed all the nature and all the bonfires. Moire, the host, was super friendly, as was her whole family. Everything was super clean.

We are newlyweds! We came here for a minimoon after our wedding this weekend and it honestly could not have been more perfect. Moire, Randy and Emmy were incredible hosts, Emmy showed us all of the animals and how she trains them! The donkeys and cats would greet us in the morning, we got to meet the miniature show horses as well as the full size horses! The property is absolutely gorgeous and the spring house is cozy, very spacious and warm. We loved the big swing on the oak tree by the pond, taking in the fall foliage on a walk by the stream, we LOVED hanging out with the donkeys and horses and talking to Randy and Moire! Moire showed us the spring under the house that provides all of our water, she also showed us her beautiful felting, and was just so generous and kind! We could not recommend this beautiful place enough. Wonderful hosts, the land is magnificent and the life on the farm is just magical. It was absolutely perfect <3

Linda has an awesome little spot at mimi shed. Super comfy. The best sleep that I have is in this shed honstly. Linda has set up an amazing slice of heaven. Just be aware that cell phone service is poor at this site, but that is totally out of the hosts control, everything else is well informed, maintained, and communicated. It is quiet, private, and a prefect rest stop along the interstate.
