The land was amazing! So many beautiful spots to camp at. So many activities to do. The host was also so responsive, assessable, and friendly!!

We were totally surprised in discovering this gem of a campground. It’s setting is on a quiet farm in a wooded area near the river. There is plenty of room to have your privacy and space from the other campers while enjoying the land. The host and family was very nice and helpful even giving us a route to experience an old but functioning covered railroad bridge. The grounds were beautiful, the stars were crisp, clear and something to gaze at. We will definitely go again.

The farm was a great place to stay! Host were welcoming and thoughtful - they left firewood piles out for us to use and even brought by a box of Moon Pies for the eclipse viewing (get it?!). There was plenty of space for a common gathering, or for private viewing. Trails around the property were beautiful, and fun to explore. Kid friendly, dog friendly. Great trip!

Excellent communication and warm hospitality from Haleigh, Nan, and Gary. The lodge was exactly as expected and had everything we needed.
A peaceful spot tucked between farm and forest, with a view of the river from the back porch and lots of land to explore. We couldn't have chosen a better place to experience the 2024 total eclipse.

I loved the idyllic meadow tent sites! Gorgeous grassy knoll with beautiful trees all around. Felt incredibly private and peaceful. We brought our truck camper and had no problems getting in and out. Thank you so much for sharing your little slice of heaven!

This was our first time using Hipcamp. We found this gem for the 2024 Total Eclipse weekend. This was a perfect large open meadow to pitch a tent. Plenty of space between each of the sites. Our host and her family are amazing folks. Very friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel at home. Bring everything you need, it is primitive camping but if you forget anything you’re just minutes away from several towns to get supplies. At the river you could kayak or canoe. There is a nice marked trail to hike. We brought our dogs and they had as much fun as we did. We will definitely be back.
On our stay we had seen a bald eagle, heard owls, turkeys and coyotes in the far distance.
The stars at night are so clear and bright.
We are so happy that we chose this to experience the eclipse
Thank you Haileigh

We stayed from 9 AM - 8 PM and had a great time relaxing and playing. We didn't even make it over to the river area, but were content in the meadow.

This place was amazing. We camped here for the eclipse and it exceeded expectations in all areas Haleigh was a great host very welcoming. They're land is beautiful. The camping area is great. It is shaded with luscious grass perfect for setting up tents. I Brought my dog and had no issues. They have mowed walking paths around the property as well. Had a Porta potty on site which was great. You can drive right into your spot. All in all great experience great stay great people. 10/10

My wife and I didn't quite camp here - rather, we wanted to capture the eclipse from a location away from (most) other people, that had a wide open view. We visited the site the day before the eclipse - it is WAY bigger than I expected it to be. We met some of the other campers and hiked down to the Wabash River, which was pretty high that day but still fun to see.
Haleigh had ensured that there were plenty of tent sites - we could see lots of mowed spots not only for tent campers, but also a lot of mowed areas for the eclipse, a bit north of the house area, and along the northern edge of the property. So everyone had plenty of space to enjoy the celestial event. And we were able to capture WONDERFUL photos and video from here. Haleigh and her family were all very kind before and after.
A few minor notes: The gravel road leading to the sites is rather large gravel and a bit bumpy in spots. A higher clearance vehicle will help a lot (think Subaru or a bit higher clearance). Also, there were a LOT of ticks even in April - we did have to pick three off our sheltie - but it's a field, so, I mean - nature is gonna nature, right? It is what it is. Just be aware, wear proper clothing and check yourself / kids / pets afterwards.
Overall, it was a fantastic experience and a beautiful site.

Our adventure to Haleigh’s property by the Wabash River was a dream! It perfectly accommodated our Jeep for car camping, with thoughtful amenities at every turn. Haleigh and family’s hospitality shone, offering warm welcomes, ample firewood for cozy nights, and clean facilities. Their surprise of eclipse glasses and moon pies for the eclipse viewing added a magical touch, making the event unforgettable.
Our chocolate lab had the time of his life, mingling with other dogs and exploring the vast, mysterious landscapes. The diverse community of campers added to the vibrant atmosphere. Despite the lack of potable water, nearby supplies made our stay hassle-free.
This visit wasn’t just a camping trip; it was an immersion into an enchanting world, promising lasting memories and a longing to return. Haleigh’s haven is truly a slice of paradise, beckoning us back with its natural beauty and heartwarming hospitality. Can’t wait for our next visit!

Haleigh and her family were very friendly and accommodating. The spaces available were huge, and firewood was provided. This was their first time hosting, and they did a great job.
Road signage would have been helpful, but we found it alright. There are no fire rings, which would have been nice, but they do have a communal fire area and allowed fires to be built anywhere.
Overall, wonderful experience. 10/10

Haleigh was an AMAZING hipcamp host. Directions were clear, she answered all 1 million questions of mine, and was very attentive when people arrived. The land was beautiful and you have a plethora of sites you could pick to stay. The porta potty was clean and you have the option to create your own fire by your camp or the communal fireplace and hangout with amazing people. 11/10 the best place to stay and people to meet.

Although traffic delays prevented us from camping here during eclipse, Hayleigh was very communicative and thoughtful.
