Walnut Valley is the place to go! I tent camped with my dogs and barely saw another person or camp site. It felt like camping in the remote wilderness but easy to find. Brian was very helpful, showing me to my site and bringing extra wood. The hiking trails on property are clearly marked and varied from meadows to woods, hills to flat. The entire property was immaculately well kept, you could tell Brian puts in the effort. Definitely going back!

What a great spot. The Cul de Sac is definitely a more remote site but I came out to do some hiking so that was exactly what I was looking for. The trails were well maintained, even with soggy weather and I found a few other sites I'd like to spend a few nights at next. Clean sites, beautiful property and if I'd had any questions I have no doubt Brian would have had an answer.

Beautiful campground

We loved the open space between sites. The campgrounds were very clean and welcoming. Brian stopped by to introduce himself and welcome us. We arrived early after asking permission so we could hike the 5 miles of trails in the woods. We saw deer, turkey and lots of birds. Great place to relax.

Camping in the quiet

We had an amazing time. Brian was respectful of privacy, but on the spot when called. We had an amazing, quiet, peaceful weekend. The trails were perfect for de-stressing without the mountain climbing. We will be back.

The place is very well maintained, the host is nice and will guide you to the site, and provide maps. Firewood was provided. The yellow trail was well maintained. Taking this hike will treat you to good birding, deer and chipmunk watching. This property is an important wildlife habitat and is a wonderful look at the real Indiana between all of the grain fields.

We loved our stay at Walnut Valley! We were in an RV so we stayed at one of the sites that had power (site 4). There was plenty of space between us and the next site. The trails are great and perfect for a medium hike, outhouse was well kept and clean, and Brian was an awesome host. We needed a little more firewood and Brian was right there to help, it was really nice to not have to leave to get more. Next time we come we want to check out the primitive spots, they looked amazing from our walk around the site. We’ll definitely be back.

We had a wonderful time camping at Walnut Valley for a reunion with family & friends! We loved the privacy, beauty in the land, and kids esp loved the hikes and bridge over the creek. And of course s’mores around the campfire :-) We didn’t have great phone signal (didn’t bother us!) so were glad to have the site map in advance so we could find our way around. Thanks for sharing your beautiful land with us, Brian!

Our Maiden Hipcamp Experience

We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at Brian’s amazing property. Site 3 site was huge, peaceful and serene. It was nestled under a grove of mature trees. Even though it was located right off the country road, I kept saying to my husband, “Listen. No cars!” We chose to stay at Brian’s mostly because of his forested property with miles of hiking trails. We enjoyed our daily hikes through the woods. We checked out the other camping sites which we found nicely spaced apart and exceptionally maintained. We met another couple 2 sites down who were super friendly, as was Brian whom we met right before leaving. That said, we communicated with Brian often through Hipcamp or text and he made sure we had everything we needed. All in all, this was a 10/10 for us and exceeded our expectations.

Another great weekend in the books. The only reason I hate to recommend this site, is I prefer to gate-keep it for myself! This is a great camping site, as are all of them at Walnut Valley Realm.

Another wonderful stay at Brian's place! Tried a new site this round and was incredibly pleased. The Mint is perfectly private but not cut off. It was me and the dog, and he had a great time right off the bat. We enjoyed a great walk around the grounds before dinner and then a nice peaceful evening. There were other campers, but Brian's sites are spaced out so you don't feel like you are crashing someone else's party. Thanks again Brian for another great stay.

Stellar experience

Brian is the greatest, there's that. The meadow site was superb, there's that. And there are a bunch of other sites that look excellent too... there's that. Cell coverage (Spectrum); hiking trails; solitude; there's all of that. When it comes to Hipcamps, Brian's is a ten out of ten.

Little Slice of Heaven

Milly’s way #2 was a beautiful campsite! We enjoyed having the pavilion for cooking, eating and storing things during the rain. We enjoyed the amenities of electricity and water! The site was large enough to play frisbee with my dog and let my cat explore on a long leash. It was clean, close to the outhouse and the sun in the morning was warm and lovely. Brian was the most gracious host, brought us apples from his tree and brought his tools over when we needed it. The outhouse was always stocked and clean. The whole campsite was very peaceful, even through an holiday weekend. Our favorite part was the expansive land and well-maintained trails. I will always remember our sunset hike through the wetland/meadows. He has a little slice of heaven and he is awesome for sharing it! I would highly recommend this campground to any camper, seasoned or not.

My family and I had a very pleasant stay at the Walnut Valley Realm. We were tucked away at site 9--Hank's Hide-a-way. It was the perfect space to pitch our 7 person teepee tent and put up the hammock. There could have been room for another tent if needed. Having little nooks for parking across the drive from the camp spot was also nice. The trails on the property were fun, simple, and also very well-maintained. Brian was very communicative when I asked questions and his son was super nice and brought us wood and showed us where our site was when we got there. We will probably book this spot, or maybe check out the cabin next, in the future. Good vibes.

Deer crossing is a great site, with enough sun to charge solar panels, but still have available shade. Trees for hammocks and plenty of space to spread out. This site is in the center of the lower camp so you can hike the campsites trails or meander the nearby woods.
