Rural River Bottoms Retreat

6 sites · Tents1 acre · Evansville, IN

Evansville, Indiana is within the path of totality for the April 2024 solar eclipse. Enjoy this potentially once-in-a-lifetime experience in the wide open river bottoms of Southern Indiana on the banks of the Ohio River. This site is primitive. My home is located on the property, but you will have plenty of room for camping and activities on my 1 acre lot. Campfires are welcome. Bring your favorite yard games as well! The Ohio River is visible from my property. However, the banks are unsafe and considered private property. There are local public access sites that I'd be happy to direct you to! My property is located 10 miles (22 minutes by car) from downtown Evansville.
