This listing is for tent, car, or small RV camping - We currently do not rent the tree house since it is my home. I may rent it out in the future and I will have a cabin available later in the year We also have the Cozy Camping Cottage available. Skip the tent setup and stay in our micro cottage. Just pull in and you'll be ready for camping. Check out the Cozy Camping Cottage listing on hipcamp.
Kids are people too - Please include all people when booking your site.
We are on a solar powered, off the grid 60 acre homestead that has 54 acres of wooded land and 6 acres of groomed land. Come explore our land and relax in the "Tree Web", see the 2 story tree house that I live in, have fun on the tire swing, or just sit and enjoy all that nature has to offer. You can explore our interesting topography that has close to 100 foot of elevation changes, our (mostly) dry creek system that starts with 2 springs that drain into 3 sinkholes or walk 3 miles of trails (if you follow each trail from end to end).
Camping can be in the Black Walnut Grove, in an open field or a shady grove. We like to interact with people or you can keep to yourself and have a quiet getaway in the woods.
We love groups - Host your event here or have a group gathering with all your friends and family. We have spaces large enough to host hundreds of people.

We absolutely loved camping here. Between the very friendly pups that stayed with us all night, the very convenient campsites full of trees perfect for hammock use and the hot and refreshing outdoor shower- we had an amazing experience. We totally plan on camping here again!
Kerry's directions to the property were easy to follow and he met me as I arrived to tell me where to head for a site. The outhouses and the shower were all really nice and the land itself was a great place to camp. Wish I could've stayed more than one night!


The scenery was spectacular. The host (Kerry) was a kewl kat with many fun and interesting stories as well as helpful if you simply ask him for help.
I was very thank for the hot showers after a long day of getting dirty. I enjoyed the fact I had no cell phone service so I could unplug and recharge. (I think Verizon has limited signal).
This spot is a hidden gem in Southern Indiana. I have been twice, and I am always blown away by the beauty of the spring flowers. Kerry is very friendly, and his creativity on the property, regarding the structures and maintenance is really inspiring. There's lots of wonderful trails to follow right there on the property, winding creeks, bird watching, and a variety of plants. I can't wait to go back.



Kerry's land is just beautiful. My dog & I had a perfect slice of it all to ourselves. Kerry was a gracious host & we look forward to returning.
