The site was very private and on the night we stayed the clear skies allowed for amazing stargazing! Sounds of wildlife like frogs and insects were very relaxing. Restroom wasn't too far either and was well kept. Overall a great place to set up the tent for the evening.

This is our second time to Aris Farm to camp in the Alpaca field. We love it so much. Tracy is always so welcoming! The kids have so much fun with all of the animals, learning their names and petting them. Tracy is alway very helpful letter them know which one do like attention and those that don't. We will definetly return. It's not far from Turkey Run!!

We LOVE Aris Farm. What a unique camping experience surrounded by awesome animals! We can’t pick a favorite when it comes to the fur babies but Banjo definitely stole our hearts (and we almost stole him). Tracy was great the entire time and very hospitable. We had the pleasure of meeting 10 yr old Mia (sp) who shared a ton of knowledge about the farm and the alpacas. We loved that she took the time to talk with us and taught us a lot of really cool, interesting things about the alpacas. We definitely would love to return when we can stay longer.

This was an A+ experience. Tracy‘s farm is very unique and wonderful and she herself is a very welcoming, accommodating host. Even though this was my first time solo camping EVER, I felt very safe and comfortable and enjoyed every minute of it. I was on a road trip on the last leg home so didn’t spend much time at her farm, but plan on returning there just to enjoy the space and land and I will be recommending Tracy‘s farm to all people I personally know who enjoy camping near and far.

Tracy was a wonderful host, she took the time to show us around the farm and made us feel very welcome. She even joined us for a cold drink when her chores were done. We set out chairs up under the shade in the alpaca pasture and were able to feed them right out of our hands. Would love to come back in the fall (when it's a little cooler).

I loved tent camping here! Tracey was so nice, even had a fire for me since I was running behind. Toured the animals. The coyotes howling and barking off the distance, added to the outdoors of it. Nice area and safe.

We had a wonderful time. We made up our campsite and got settled in. Then shortly after we walked back up to the farm and we were greeted by Tracy with food to feed all the farm animals. My son particularly liked feeding all the goats. After that we went back to camp and were greeted to a symphony of bullfrogs and countless lightning bugs to watch as we settled down. The only thing I would change was I would’ve held off the rain from coming the morning after so we could’ve stayed longer.

I had a wonderful time! This is one of the most cared for farms I’ve visited. Tracy is truly devoted to her animals. The camp site was perfect and private. The animals are all so beautiful. I hope to return someday 😊

We really enjoyed the peaceful evenings listening to the frogs and sitting by the fire. We also loved talking with Tracy about her farm and her animals.

My daughter and I camped at Tracy’s farm on our way back from touring the SouthWest, and we both loved it. The farm is beautiful and serene. Tracy was the most welcoming and generous host and introduced us to all the unique species of animals she cares for. It was wild to meet Alpacas up close! I would recommend camping here to everyone!

I was initially just looking for safe spot to camp for a night while roaming between all the covered bridge festivals. This turned into one of the best camping experiences I’ve ever had and I’ll definitely be coming back to visit Tracy and her lovely farm! The tent spot is beautiful and peaceful, overlooking the field with wide open space to see a ton of stars at night. Spent the next morning talking with Tracy about the farm and getting acquainted with all the animals. Such a great experience overall and exactly what I needed out of a quick weekend getaway.

It was such a chill laid back environment. I loved it. The host is super genuine. Lots and lots of alpaca! I heard a donkey in the barn and woke up to a rooster. Super fun. The community fire pit area is really quaint with lots of picnic tables. The bathroom wad adorable too. They're working on installing a shower.

We brought our two kids to camp at Aris Farm and had an amazing time with Tracy and all of her animals. She has 3 tent sites and we had our choice when we arrived. We chose the Walnut site which was great since it was a 3 minute walk to the modern bathroom and the barn and animals. Aris Farm is very near stores and restaurants, but when you go to the campsite it seems very remote and private. I love camping where you can be at your remote campsite and go get pizza and be back in 20 minutes!
Aris Farm is a working animal farm with alpacas, llama, donkeys, goats, a bunch of dogs (Banjo was our loaner dog), pigs, chickens, ducks and of course farm cats. You have full access to feed and interact with the animals and Tracy was very generous with the treat bags for the animals. You should be aware that this is a farm, and as such there is poo, dirt, spiders and bugs etc. You are being given the opportunity for the full experience and it was great!
This was a very special trip for us as we all love animals, especially the kids! We fed the goats, donkeys, miniature horse, alpacas and more. All of the animals were non-aggressive as they have been around people a great deal. Some were incredibly friendly, particularly Adele, the hungriest goat in Indiana and our favorite, Banjo! Tracy was a fantastic host, and this was a very special an unique experience, and we will definitely be back again! Thank you so much Tracy!

Enjoyed our stay! Animals were fun and the campsites are very private. One drawback is that the campsite isn’t accessible by car but Tracy helped us take our stuff on her tractor.

How much did we love camping at Aris Farm? Well, my nine-year-old now says he is never going to camp anywhere else ever again. Tracy was an amazing host, and we loved being surrounded by the farm animals. It is the exact opposite of camping at a big, crowded campground. We had privacy, peace and quiet, and a close-up view of nature. We would definitely recommend a stay at Aris Farm!

We really enjoyed our stay here for the weekend! Tracy helped us haul our camping gear upon arrival. The site we chose had a lot of privacy. Her farm animals are fun to be around! Feeding them was definitely fun. She even gave us a dozen eggs to take home! Even though it rained on our last night it was still nice listening to the sounds of nature. There are a couple of fishing areas not far from her farm! Thank you Tracy for being awesome and informative for us folks not from Indiana. We hope to return soon! I would definitely recommend this place for family/couples. Loved it very much!!

Aris Farm had heavy recent rains. It was very muddy. We arrived between more storms. Tracy was very thoughtful. She took most of our equipment to the site in her trailer. She even pulled out tarps to keep everything dry. Tracy offered to tour her farm on our terms and made sure we had the privacy that we wanted. We were able to learn a lot about animals the first morning.
We were there to see the solar eclipse. She also made sure that we were not interrupted during the eclipse.
I would definitely return to her farm to stay again, especially with my grandkids. She is an excellent teacher.

Staying at Tracy's farm was exactly what I was hoping it would be! We were immediately shown around the barn and became a part of the farm community. The animals are all really chill, and once the guard dog Rose gives you a sniff she accepts you as part of the family. This means you have free range to visit animals and
Other campers were dispersed throughout the property, but we all converged with the animals which was really nice. There is a well equipped, lighted, heated bathroom with a flush toilet and running water for the sink. Tracy had everything you need stocked for basic bathroom needs.
Tracy is a wealth of spirit and knowledge about her animals, I learned a lot and I love the rescue/education purpose of the farm. We were there for the eclipse, which was perfection, but would return as a getaway from the city and some time with cuddly animals and spending some time outside.
Thanks Tracy for a great stay!

Tracy is super nice and accommodating. There was a lot of rain a few days before our stay making everything muddy. This was no issue for us because she advised us well in advance and we were able to plan accordingly. She even helped us take our camping gear to our site. As the first time using HipCamp, this experience has been 10/10 even with the unfortunate weather.

Despite the wet and mud due to all the rain in the area, our kids still had a blast and have asked if we can come back. Every morning they couldn't wait to go pet the cats and feed the goats handfuls of grass. Tracy was an amazing host and very welcoming of our children. Rare find for kids (or adults) that want room to explore and love animals.

Tracy was a wonderful host who stayed in contact leading up to and during our stay. She met us upon arrival and went out of her way to make us feel welcome.
Her property was a delight to camp on and her animals a treat to engage with. It was just what we needed for a quick getaway for a couple days of camping and hiking (at Forest Glen Nature Preserve)

Top rate experience! Our host went above and beyond with hospitality. We had a great time unwinding at the fire pit behind the bath house. Tracy was so kind! The land is peaceful and beautiful- and easy to reach from the interstate. We had so much fun meeting the ANIMALS! They were all friendly and adorable! Great stay!

Very unique spot for a fun, animal filled camping experience! Helping with chores, feeding the goats and getting to know some very charismatic alpacas were just icing in the cake of a great camping spot. Thank you Tracy for running a beautiful farm!
