2 nights at Sleek Acres

We had a great time staying at Sleek acres. Lisa and Earl put a lot of work into their property to ensure campers enjoy their experience and it is clear they take pride in both the property and hosting campers. They truly went above and beyond to ensure we felt welcomed and had what we needed to be comfortable. The campsites are clean and flat and despite some recent rain the ground wasn’t muddy or flooded—perfect for setting up camp. The property is a working homestead, definitely get some eggs for breakfast and ask to feed the fish. This camping experience was the highlight of our trip.

Weekend Trip to Celtic Glen Farm Stay

We camped & did a farm tour & coffee with the goats, Leslie & Phil were so accommodating and we really enjoyed our stay!

6 nights at Sugar Maple Grove Campground

My first Hipcamp as I start traveling as a digital nomad. So hidden away and peaceful, a great place to be. I will for sure be back!! Hosts are extremely available but leave you all the privacy you might want.

1 night at Sleek Acres

Pretty cozy. Nice view on the pond. Bathroom clean. The owners provided firewood (thanks!!). Quite spacious and the fire pit is very nice. Had a late check in and were still super well welcomed. Just watch out for the tics.

1 night at Sherfick Farms

If you live on the North Side of Indy this is such an easy location to get to and get away. Well maintained space. Ended up extending my stay.

1 night at Hidden Valley Fun Time Happy Camp!

This was such a wonderful, fun place to stay. Whitney was great, and my kids, dogs and I enjoyed every minute.

1 night at Sheepy Acres

Lovely accommodating host with great facilities and adorable sheep!

Weekend Trip to Hidden Valley Fun Time Happy Camp!

Loved the set up site, beautiful views, very nice and helpful staff. This place is truly a hidden Gem. I was surprised by how it felt like we were the only ones there though we werent. Kid and pet friendly. I loved how there is a theme to each site. Will definately come again.

3 nights at Hidden Valley Fun Time Happy Camp!

This was our third time coming. And we absolutely loved it! We had a group of three families. We cold plunged in the river. Kids biked all over. Floated down the river. Cooked over the fire. Saw everything from the bald eagles to Boston orioles. Whitney is an absolute delight. He’s kind and creates such a rich and wonderful space. We’ll be back. Many more times. It’s a magical space.

Weekend Trip to Sleek Acres

Our stay at Sleek Acres was absolutely wonderful! This was our first time tent camping, and the experience couldn’t have been more memorable — all thanks to the amazing hosts. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed so kindly and warmly. They were incredibly understanding, helpful, and truly made us feel at home. The entire campsite is beautifully maintained — everything was clean, peaceful, and thoughtfully arranged. The scenery is stunning, and the overall atmosphere is so calm and relaxing. One of our favorite highlights was the sweet family of geese roaming the property — such a fun and charming surprise that made the stay even more special. We couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to tent camping. We’re already looking forward to coming back. Thank you, Sleek Acres, for such a memorable and heartwarming experience!

Weekend Trip to Sleek Acres

Everything about this site was fantastic. We were close enough to the water and bathrooms to utilize them when we wanted and also far enough away to where we felt that it was just us camping even tho other sites were occupied. Earl and Lisa went above and beyond and helped make our stay perfect. From watching the ducks and turtles swim around to catching bluegill every other cast, we had a blast here and are excited to come back

Weekend Trip to Sugar Maple Grove Campground

We had a great stay with our two pups. It was clean and well kept, and our host Robert was super responsive. Exactly as listed, if not better!!

Weekend Trip to Sugar Maple Grove Campground

We were pleased with tent camping on Robert’s land! Very well maintained and spacious! Robert was very friendly and attentive! We are planning to stay again in the future!

Weekend Trip to Celtic Glen Farm Stay

Amazing place. Private camps and really great hosts. Close to a lot of fun stuff. The whole family wants to come back again soon!

Weekend Trip to River Camp Fort Wayne

Great camp for the price and location. Owners really seem to be putting effort in updates.

Weekend Trip to Happy Hollow Homestead

Under a thick forest canopy in a verdant hollow in southern Indiana, Kerry has crafted a bespoke camp that reflects a curiosity and investment in sustainable living with some modern comforts. The grounds are walkable featuring a variety of campsites. Fellow campers feel like woodland neighbors without being right next to each other. And Kerry, a welcoming host, ushered me from the road through the woods, answered questions and shared stories of the land. We talked about structural projects across the Happy Hollow and investigations into waterways & sinkholes inn the area. 11/10 would return.

Weekend Trip to Havendell Farm and Wayside

I had a great experience car camping on Dave’s property! It was peaceful and quiet, easy to find, and the portable toilet and water station were a great plus! The tent sites look cute and well laid out, I will definitely be returning to try them out!

1 night at Sheepy Acres

This place is awesome and Titus is a super hospitable host. We only stayed for a night on a road trip and wish we could have stayed longer. The site is very secluded and has everything you need for camping!

1 night at Sheepy Acres

I really enjoyed my brief 1 night stay here! Titus made me feel very welcomed, too. A lot of TLC has gone into this property. Well manicured drive and sites. A few clean primitive toilets situated between the sites that are distanced apart from each other and private. There is a mowed walking trail. The woodchip site is in the back, along a field. You can hear the clip clop of the Amish carriage horses in the distance and at night you can see their running lights along the bottom as they ride along in the distance. Not close neighbors so it's quiet except for a road that parallels the property, in the distance, but the coolness of the place made up for that. I would love to return.

4 nights at Havendell Farm and Wayside

We have stayed several times and this stay did not disappoint. It's clean, quiet, we feel very safe and the owners are great. Dave's location is easy to get to and close enough for easy on and off the highway. The view is great wide open fields and woods to enjoy. The horses, farm animals and flowers are very easy to enjoy. We will go back each time we are in the area. We give them a 10++ and would recommend to anyone that is in the area and looking for a nice place to stay, one night or several nights. Thank you again for a nice stay!!!

Suggested Local Attractions:The World's Greatest Amateur Circus: Peru, Indiana, is also known as the "Circus City". In the late 1800s and early 1900s, Peru was home to the Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus and others. Even the Ringling Brothers Circus wintered there for a while. For 10 days each July, Peru celebrates the Circus City Festival with rides, crafts, food, games, and more. The highlight, however, is the live amateur circus that has performances throughout the festival. A unique and authentic experience that echoes the early heyday of the circus, this is a fun event not to be missed. Performers are locals, some of whom are direct descendants of professional performers in the earlier shows. Even if a visit is timed to occur outside of July, a visit to the small but impressive International Circus Hall of Fame might be worth the trip. Circus Hall of Fame is located 1.8 miles from Camp Ames.

The Mannex! Indiana Dunes Nat'l Pk

1 site · RV, Tent2 acres · Beverly Shores, IN

The Man's Annex aka the Mannex is located on Scenic US HWY 12 to the South and The South Shore Commuter Rail to the North. The campsite is very clean, tidy and safe. The main pebble parking area slopes gently to the North so you will want levelers if you're in a camper. I have a brand new RV Pedestal complete with 50 and 30amp service, a mechanical timer for the LED lights encompassing the parking area as well as a rheostat so you can dim the lights. I have a 40" firepit with spark arrestor (please use to be in compliance with local laws) as well as a polywood octagonal picnic table and well water with 100' hose. Trash and human waste is to be carried out. Please keep your camper to the east of the blue and yellow birdhouses as access to the building is needed. Tent campers can pitch a tent on the grassy area east of the fire pit or anywhere in the woods. The location is great! You're inside the dunes national park and only 1.35 miles to the beach. Just north of the train tracks is the Calumet bike path. .35 to the west is a gas station with a bathroom, the south shore train station (day trip to Chicago anyone?), a great restaurant and liquor store as well. Bikes are HIGHLY recommended to be able to help facilitate your exploring of this very unique part of the country. If you're a birder and you don't already know, bring your binocs, this is one of the best birding towns in the Midwest / country due to the location and it's biodiversity.

You will be nestled under some giant sycamores, cottonwoods, black walnuts, catulpas, and a mess of bush honeysuckle that is always being battled! We have 2-3 sites directly on the river and then scores throughout with trails, hills, and other interesting features. Multiple firepits though I CANNOT guarantee firewood. There is often plenty to collect or available on site but if you can bring your own that'd be safest bet! We are (somehow) located partially inside Muncie city limits right on the river. Yes you may occasionally hear some trains or even particularly loud cars while camping deep in the woods but this is the tradeoff for a one mile drive to bars, restaurants, and groceries! Best of both worlds. The Muncie Eagles, whose nest resides directly across the river from us, do not seem to mind! This location is also directly on two main bike trail routes and our trails are fun for low impact mountain biking! We also have a small armada of kayaks/canoes on site; IF arranged that option does exist for cost of transport! We have 2 porta potties on site as well and fresh water hose available at main house. Looking forward to hosting!

Camping in Indiana guide

Overview

Stretching down from the Great Lakes into the southern heartlands, Indiana borrows the best of both regions for a warm hug of southern hospitality bolstered by the outdoorsy spirit of the Midwest. Outdoor adventurers can climb the sand dunes along Lake Michigan, paddle the Ohio River, or trek through forested canyons, while a bonafide Indiana camping experience means fishing for your supper and toasting s’mores on the campfire. With temperatures that rarely fall below zero even in mid-winter, camping is a year-round affair in Indiana. Our pick is fall, when breezy weather and fiery autumnal colors make for incredible hiking.

Where to go

North Indiana

Indiana’s most Instagram-worthy landscapes can be found at the state’s northeastern boundary. Sloping dunes and sandy beaches line the southern shore of Lake Michigan, and Indiana Dunes National Park has tent and RV camping right by the beach. Further east, industrial towns pepper the road to Amish Country, where you can check into a rustic log cabin in the woods or camp by the lake in Chain O’Lakes State Park.

Central Indiana

Indiana’s central plains are dotted with laidback market towns, cornfields, and lakes. Indianapolis pulls in crowds for its summer motorsports events, most notably the famous Indy 500, but campers can easily escape the city for nearby Mccormick’s Creek State Park or Morgan-Monroe State Forest. Just to the south, Brown County is home to Monroe Lake, the state’s largest lake, hemmed in by Yellowwood State Forest and Brown County State Park.

Southern Indiana

Hilly southern Indiana is blanketed with woodlands, most notably the forested trails and canyons of Hoosier National Forest. Come in fall to hike against a backdrop of foliage or canoe along Sugar Creek, one of the state’s top paddling destinations. Further south, the Ohio River Scenic Byway draws adventurers to hike, paddle, camp, and fish.
