Welcome to our primitive campground on the beautiful Blue River! We have 2 acres of riverfront property at the end of a dead end road at the Crawford/Washington County line. Nice and secluded, we have the perfect place to getaway. There is river access for swimming and fishing or you can rent a canoe or kayak from us for a little paddling around. We provide picnic tables and fire rings. Firewood can be purchased from us for an additional cost. Our grounds are fairly flat with plenty of tree cover. If you enjoy hammock camping, our trees are perfect for that! Wildlife is abundant in the area; deer, otter, eagles, raccoons, and beaver are likely to be seen year round. If you are looking for activities nearby you will find Old Mill Canoe Rental in Fredericksburg (15 min drive), Marengo Cave (15 min drive), Beck's Mill (20 min drive), Buffalo Trace Park (25 min drive), as well as many other attractions in nearby Corydon, Salem, and Paoli.

Site 1 - Old Mill Tent and Hammock Camping
Quite and Peaceful
Love the tent site. Site 1 &2 is closest to the potty place so it is kinda loud from time to time when people close the door. Very close to river, you can paddle board easy. Lovely nature. Will definitely come back. Thank you!

My boyfriend and I loved camping there! It is nice and private, beautiful, and the Kayaking down Blue River they help you with is awesome! They are really nice and we felt like we found the peace and relaxation we really needed. I would highly recommend this place!!!

Old Mill Tent and Hammock Camping
Very nice campground! Shady and good for hammocks, but with enough flat spots for tents. Nice river access with steps leading down to the water. The hosts were very accommodating and responsive to requests. We had a great weekend there!

Old Mill Tent and Hammock Camping
Great time camping with friends!
We had a fantastic time! Well-maintained location, easy to get to, plenty of ideal locations for tents, far enough from the water that it was safe to let our 2 year old run around like a feral child of the woods, and the portajohns were clean! We WILL be returning!
