This campsite offers a quiet and peaceful escape, set on a private farm where guests have praised the clear view of the stars and serene environment. Visitors often mention the friendly presence of farm animals like pigs and turkeys, which adds a unique charm to the stay. While the location is generally praised for its tranquility, a few reviews noted occasional noise from a barking dog. The site is well-suited for those looking to unwind in a picturesque setting, with easy access to local attractions like Turkey Run State Park.

Overland camping the 1938 barn #1
Accurate listing. Fairly private camping area on a private owned farm. Air bnb also close to campsite on property. Trees were changing color and leaves were falling. Great view of the stars from the fire pit at night. Would stay again, good price.

Great place to set up for a quick overnight stay.
This site was exactly as mentioned. Perfectly quiet, healthily off the beaten track.

Overland camping 1938 barn. #2
Great instructions and peaceful property! We loved the piggies :)
Fun camp spot to stay at, Last Minute Trip plans, about a 25 min drive to Turkey Run State Park very nice scenic roads. Not hard to get to the camp spots little bit of a bumpy ride but that’s it. Pass the red barn that’s for the air bnb, a small Hipcamp sign takes you to Sites #1 and #2
Site #1 which we stayed on, is the first site with the electric hookup I hadn’t brought an 30A to 15A adapter so we had to head to Walmart late at night before they closed to buy one. Justin made it clear in the listing about the RV hookup. Site #2 is the site which goes just a little bit further back into the trees better for a more private outdoor camp like feel
Overall we had a great time staying here and all the animals where so cute the turkeys loved seeing us in the mornings 😂 and visited us after the first night when we awoke to them right outside our tent super cute piggies too and loved the rooster wake up call as well ☀️❤️🏕️

Loved the fact it was so far off the road, but site was difficult to back out of, had there been a hard rain seems I may gotten stuck due to no stone drive close to the power hook up. There was a dog barking most of the night.
This hipcamp was great!!! Beautiful property it was exactly as described. We met the owners they were super friendly! Baby pigs were born while we were there adding an even better experience. Also in a perfect spot to visit the covered bridge festival! Definitely recommend

Straight gravel drive not curved

Overland camping the 1938 barn #1
I did ask the host to amend the directions, their gravel drive is dead straight back with no curves. Also, there is a sign for a logging company at the entrance, but no address visible. Though the directions are correct in google maps, my rig odometer doesn't read out tenths of miles, and there are a few long gravel drives with red barns nearby so it was confusing for me. I ended up angering a neighbor and had to apologize profusely, which could be avoided if they update their directions. Also, the host never said hello at all. Not sure which house they lived in. Nice spot, though.

very nice spot to camp and was perfect for us visiting the covered bridge festival. directions were clear to find the spot, and we were greeted by the sweetest dog. nice flat area with a big fire pit
We had such a great stay at Justin's place! Loved watching the chickens and pig just across the yard! Our stay was peaceful and relaxing! We would definitely stay again if we are down in this area!
Beautiful, secluded camping spot! Loved all the trees. Prime location for camping/lodging during the Covered Bridge Festival! We really enjoyed our stay

Peaceful, quiet spot. Easy to find. Just passing through and stayed one night. Cotton came to visit in the early morning hours. She and my dog played for a little bit and off she went. Sweet dog. Great stay!

What a beautiful site, it was quiet and very shaded. The town was just a few miles away with convenience of anything was needed. I enjoyed my stay. Justin and his family were very hospitable and even shared some yummy vegetables which I have thoroughly enjoyed during my journey. I would definitely visit again!

I had a great time tent camping at Justin’s property. The space was so unique, being surrounded by the farm animals was such a nice touch. The property itself it absolutely beautiful and it was perfect for a weekend escape!
I loved the peace, quiet, and privacy. The farm animals hanging out added to the unique experience. I just loved it. Would do it again.

Overall we had a great experience. We had the campsite to ourselves and I set up a hammock to sleep in. My family slept in our vehicle. It was fun to be near the animals but one of the pigs was overly friendly and there was a dog that barked part of the night. So not as peaceful as it might seem but if you’re looking for a low cost camping alternative this fits the bill. We felt very safe.

If you are looking for a simple camp spot, this place is great! As a solo traveler I felt very safe the whole time. It is on a farm so expect some farm noises but I thought it really added to the unique stay. The sunrise in the morning was beautiful and Justin was great at communicating. Would recommend for those looking for a simple place to pitch a tent or hang a hammock!

What a privilege to get to stay on land that has been Justin‘s family for over 100 years. We enjoyed meeting Justin‘s cousin and his wife and kids. My daughter loved the hogs and chickens (just watch out for the electric fence! I forgot that my dog has always lived in the city and didn’t know to keep his tail low!) We all had to leave early in the morning because of a major morning storm, but everyone stayed dry!

Nice quiet, secluded camp, in the middle of a cornfield. The hogs and the animals were very cute. And Barbara, the Jack Russel Terrier, was very sweet, and greeted us warmly. The directions and signs were spot on. Thanks for everything.

This was a really fun trip. Our family has been camping many times but this was a our first trip away from the big campsites. It made the experience more about the family and friends and allowed us to have fun and enjoy time just chilling away from the world! The farm animals were fun to watch as well. Our girls really enjoyed the trip and didn't want to leave. Excellent experience!

Highly recommend camping here. The farm is beautiful, the animals are fun, and the host is very friendly. I'd love to come back when the garden is ready to harvest because I know it will be impressive.
The dogs that live here can bark, but are very friendly too.

Great place to pitch a tent for the night. I loved all the animals - piglets, sheep including a baby, chickens/rooster. Close to Parke County covered bridges and Turkey Run/Shades/Raccoon Lake. Justin and his son, Henry greeted me and were very friendly.

Perfect little one night get away for me. But a great spot to have a large group.
The land was fine. I was only there for one night and didn’t see much of the site due to arriving and leaving in the dark, but what I did see looked okay. Justin’s dogs were very curious, but he called them in after I called him. Would recommend for anyone willing to rough it in place of a hotel and save a little money.
