We live off of a gorgeous winding tree lined road between Knightstown and Carthage. Our property has several options for you to tent camp or we can accommodate large RVs. Electric will be supplied via extension cord and we can provide well water to fill your tank or a hose from our pump for you to use as needed. We own 10 acres with a pasture of wild flowers, chickens, and several varieties of trees. The surrounding 100 acres along Big Blue River is owned by our family and available for your enjoyment. Kayaking, hiking, bird watching, swimming and just relaxing! We hope we can be a quiet spot for your travels thru the midwest. We are 30 minutes from Indianapolis, 20 minutes to a gorgeous lake and mountain bike trail and Knightstown has several quaint shops and antique venues for you to enjoy! Please keep all animals on a leash or contained. We do live in the midst of cornfields and forest where racoons, opossums and our pets live. We have outdoor kitties Reginald is a big gray boy who will try to climb your leg if you stand still long enough! lol Abigail is our outdoor pooch and she does like to roam outside during the day. We also have a new to our farm rescued Great Pyreneese that is adjusting! She is in an enclosed pen behind our barn and should'nt cause you any trouble. You may hear her barking off and on as she adjusts to the new surroundings. If you need anything please let us know :D We are always ready to make your stay as comfortable as we can!

Tent site · Sleeps 8

Primitive tent camping! We have several pastures that are perfect for campers and are far enough from our home that you will have some privacy to enjoy the wildlife that visits the woods behind us as well as the fields surrounding us! We also have a river front site that is available when the fields are clear. We designate all campsites but will accomodate within reason when we can :D We can provide gear for an additional fee as well as kayaks if you are interested in a trip down the river! Sites DO NOT include fire pits, porta potties or running water. We can show you where to have a fire on your site that is safe for you, other campers and the property and where the hose is for our well if you need water. Campers are responsible for leaving their site the same as when they arrived. This includes removal and disposal of all trash and personal waste.

Review summary

Tina and Ron's campsite offers a peaceful retreat with a riverside setting perfect for paddlers. The hosts are consistently praised for their warmth and helpfulness, ensuring guests feel welcomed and well-accommodated. The environment is quiet and serene, though guests should expect a natural wake-up call from the resident chickens. The site is easy to access and provides ample space with thoughtful amenities for campers and their pets.

Tina and Ron are awesome hosts with a great location - just far enough off the beaten path, but still convenient for travelers passing through for one night on a road trip. I was a same day reservation and communication was top notch. I knew before I arrived that I had made the right choice. Ron met me upon my arrival and directed me to my site. Had a wonderful night’s sleep in a peaceful location. I will definitely stay here again when I am passing through this part of Indiana. Thanks for a great stay!
