The Love Shack Primitive Gem, Indiana

Indiana's best keep secret - The Love Shack - nestled down a long lane in between 2 fields in rural Economy Indiana. Plenty of space for tents/rvs. This place was built by my late grandfather, Tom Bond. He loved to fish, and tinker and this was a place for his grandkids to stay out of trouble. No water or electric are available (coming soon?). All proceeds go straight back into the property to make improvements. Follow us on social media.

Please pack all your trash out. We don't have trash pick up here. All dog/animals feces can be flung in the field! Farmers will appreciate the fertilizer!

Lots of big catfish & bluegill - see our F B page for videos of the fish being fed! If you're done fishing for the night or don't fish, feel free to give them a scoop of food (one only please, food is expensive)! It's fun to watch them! All food is stored in containers in shack (just be sure to put the scoop back!) They prefer to eat in the morning or early evening.
