The farm is located 15 minutes west of Indiana Universities Memorial Stadium. The property is nice and private. The farm adjoins the 75 acre Stranger Hills Organic farm, the oldest organic farm in Indiana. Our 1899 Farmhouse is the only residence on the entire farm. There is a 3000 acre farm to our south. The area is quiet and very private. The campsites are in a grassy walnut grove by a small creek that runs along the eastern border of the property. We have a white deer creek cabin tent on a platform there and 3 or 4 nice level campsites to the north. There is a shaded RV site at the top of a small hill with 30 amp service. We can accomadate a large RV on packed gravel with 50 amp serice. the farm is located 15 minutes east of McCormicks Creek State Park. There is a porti -potty and a bag shower in a small building adjacent to the campsites. There is a YMCA about five minutes East of the property.Our campsites are located in a shaded Walnut grove with a small creek running along side of the sites. We have a 10' x 12' Wall tent there on a raised platform the tent is available for $50 per night. We have five flat open sites for tent camping. The site is nice and private and would be great for a group. We have a fire ring and plenty of firewood available for sale.

Butch is open and helpful to everyone staying with him. The site is open, with basic amenities, but he’ll help with whatever you need. An overflow crowd for the eclipse was accommodated, and everyone had a good time. Very close to Bloomington and IU.

Eclipse 2024!
This was a wondering location to observe the 2024 eclipse. There was a creek running through the property which was great for fossil hunting with my daughter. The owners were very friendly and had firewood available as well as a small pit toilet if needed.

I camped here with my three kids and dog for the solar eclipse. We had to bump our arrival date back due to illness, but Butch was flexible, gracious, and a great communicator. We set up our tent in a beautiful flat spot near the creek. My kids loved playing in the water and searching for fossils and geodes, and my dog loved the freedom of being off leash. I loved the birdsong and owl calls and serenity of the farm. We ended up using liberal amounts of deet because there were a lot of ticks (maybe this is limited to the field we camped in, since it seems like maybe it’s mowed for hay some of the time), so I recommend coming prepared for that possibility. If you want to camp down by the creek, I also recommend AWD of 4WD! We had quite the time getting our minivan out on the slick morning dew/mud. Butch saved us by sawing back some branches and rallying other campers to come push our vehicle up the trickiest stretch. We left with a lot of gratitude for the kindness of strangers and the beauty of nature. Such a memorable and wonderful camping trip!

Great Hosts! County Views!
We loved camping on their land both he and his wife were over the top into the hospitality aspect of our Escaping the noise of life! A bit rustic, but it was awesome! Hell, it’s camping! We loved it! There’s a little little charging station with the refrigerator that’s available for all campers. A composting toilet. Lots of firewood. Our whole crew would give it a thumbs up!

Beautiful, but communicate w host!
The host was very sweet and checked in on us, and the shelter and bathroom options were a nice addition and well maintained, but definitely communicate with them ahead of time! We listed that we would be 8 people, but when he found out we were going to be sleeping in separate tents and a campervan he charged us more than what we had initially paid. If you’re going with a larger group, just be sure to check in about sleeping arrangements and price. The site is also down hill from their house, so just something to be aware of.
