Me n My Shadow
We had such a fun time in this quiet, peaceful camp. It’s actually quite easy to get to, if you pay attention to the directions, and you feel far away from everything while only being like 20 minutes from Indy. We saw bats, lots of different birds, and pretty sure a river otter.

This is the most beautiful piece of land!! So peaceful! Tom was very responsive to any questions we had. There was a porta potty, two picnic tables, two card tables, a gas grill (that we didn’t use cause a bird had her babies in it), and a fire ring. Tom provided us with a few gallons of drinking water. We loved this place so much, that we booked another weekend here before we even left.

Me n My Shadow
Nice secluded and quiet little camp on a lazy river. Tom was easy to work with and very responsive. He answered my pre-trip questions within hours. I had a chance to meet Tom as I was leaving and it was great to get to know him and hear how his family has managed the property over the years. The camp itself is set in a quiet section of rural Indiana so you'll navigate a few miles off the freeway through cornfields and stands of hardwoods. The entry to the camp is through a gate in their field. You are close to other neat and tidy little homesteads and small farms, but the camp site is set well back from the road and is quiet and private. The road back is unpaved and you are driving essentially on a mowed grass strip on the edge of the farmers field until you get to the campground. Most vehicles will do fine, but you may not want to bring a low vehicle. There is room for likely 2-3 independent campers there if they spread out, the area has some nice little clearings in the trees, but the clearings are modest so a single vehicle or a vehicle with a small trailer would be best. I had a large SUV and was towing a small 7 foot wide by 15 foot long trailer (tongue to tail) and it was manageable. There is no water or electricity to the camp. But there is a clean porta potty and nice touches like plenty of trash cans, a picnic table, and Tom has been very good to supply plastic tubs of some standard camping items and things you may have forgotten.

We really enjoyed our stay here! The site was not only beautiful, but very well maintained and clean. My boys enjoyed exploring the land and cooling off in the river. Thomas was quick to respond to any questions we had and offer suggestions for food. I would definitely recommend the camp site/ host to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway!

This place was awesome!! Every thing was perfect. Peaceful, private and very relaxing!! We can't wait to come back Also Tom the host was so friendly and super helpful.
The view of the creek is beautiful and it was a quiet and peaceful campsite. The privacy and seclusion was a needed break from the city. Tom was an excellent host: helpful, responsive, and the included firewood onsite was a 5 star perk on a cold night. The site was clean, secluded, yet conveniently close to the interstate. We had no problem finding the place with google maps and Toms instructions. The star gazing at night was great! We saw deer, birds, and other wildlife by the water. Overall, 10/10 we look forward to returning!
“I had an incredible camping experience at this location! The place exceeded all my expectations, with every comfort thoughtfully provided. The campsite was spotless and very well-maintained, offering a pleasant and relaxing environment. The view of the river was simply breathtaking—I was truly blown away by the beauty of the place. The attention to detail was excellent, and Mr. Thomas went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect during our stay. Highly recommended!”
Restwood camp is a quiet natural gem near Indy. Our two Golden Retriever water-dogs absolutely LOVED playing in Sugar Creek. They got to run and we got to relax in peace, especially in our hammock on the edge of the creek listening to the babbling brook nearby. No sound machine was needed on this trip. The hosts also have kayaks and canoes to rent.
The hosts were incredible. They provided us with firewood and even set it up in the fire pit for our first night’s campfire. They have a clean port-a-potty, access to grill if needed and they even had solar panels if you needed them.. This is “primitive” camping with no electricity or water hook-up but there is access to non-drinkable water, which we used for a solar shower and sink. With a portable generator we could easily consider our set-up as “glamping” in a natural setting and having peaceful quiet, which was so needed by this teacher’s start to summer vacation.
The pictures don’t even do this place justice for the beautiful, tranquility that it offers. If you want to get back to nature but also be close to home, check this place out. A bonus is that you are only 25 minutes from a Walmart in case you need one. (Leaky air mattress 🤪)
