WELCOME TO WILD INDIGO FOREST FARM!
We are so glad you’re here! Wild Indigo is a 111-acre Certified Forest and Nature Preserve where you’re invited to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the wildness around and within you.
IMPORTANT: NO TOILET PROVIDED
This is a primitive campsite, and there is no toilet available. All campers must bring their own portable or composting toilet and dispose of all waste responsibly according to Leave No Trace practices. Please arrive prepared.
PARKING + COMPLIMENTARY SHUTTLE
We have space for up to six vehicles when no guests are camping on-site. When on-site parking is unavailable, we have a back lot and are happy to provide a complimentary one-minute shuttle ride to the forest entrance. From there, guests will backpack along the trail for at least five minutes to reach their campsite.
Please pack accordingly and share your anticipated arrival time so we can coordinate your shuttle.
DRINKING WATER
There is no water hookup at the campsites. Please arrive with drinking water and bring reusable bottles or containers.
Fresh Berkey-filtered water is available at all times for refills at Knob N’ Wood Retreat Center, beside the grill and mural rain barrel.
SHAKEDOWN TRIPS
Wild Indigo is a supportive place to try backpacking, break in new equipment, or take a “shakedown trip” before a longer adventure.
Test your tent, backpack, sleep system, camp kitchen, and other equipment in a peaceful forest setting while discovering what works, what needs adjusting, and what you truly need on the trail.
CAMPFIRES + FIREPIT
A designated firepit is available when local conditions and burn restrictions allow. Fires must remain attended, stay completely inside the firepit, and be fully extinguished before leaving the site or going to sleep.
FARM-TO-TABLE FOOD + PROVISIONS
Wild Indigo Forest Farm is also home to a Farm-to-Table Bed + Breakfast. With advance notice, guests may request seasonal meals, snacks, beverages, libations, grocery provisions, celebration treats, and other thoughtful additions for their campsite.
Our offerings feature locally sourced ingredients, garden-grown herbs and produce, and responsibly gathered gifts from the forest.
Please contact us before your arrival to discuss dietary needs, preferences, availability, and pricing. You may also visit our website to view our Farm-to-Table Catering Menu.
SWIMMING POND + EQUIPMENT
Guests may enjoy our private two-acre natural swimming pond. SUP boards, a paddleboard, rafts, and a pond hammock are available during your stay.
There is no lifeguard on duty. Swimming and equipment use are at your own risk, and children must remain closely supervised by an adult. Please return all shared equipment to its designated place after use.
Natural water may include aquatic plants, wildlife, insects, mud, slippery surfaces, and changing water conditions.
WEATHER + TORNADO SHELTER
Check the forecast and bring gear suitable for changing temperatures and rain. Please monitor official weather alerts during your stay.
If tornadic weather threatens, contact us immediately. We will be happy to provide a safe place for you to shelter until the threat has passed.
FOREST CONDITIONS
This is a living forest, not a manicured campground. Expect hills, roots, rocks, fallen branches, mud, wet ground, insects, ticks, poison ivy, wildlife, and changing natural conditions.
Bring sturdy footwear, a flashlight or headlamp, seasonal clothing, and your preferred insect protection. Remain on established paths whenever possible and check yourself regularly for ticks.
FOOD, TRASH + WILDLIFE
Secure all food, beverages, toiletries, trash, and scented items when not in use. Never feed wildlife or leave food scraps behind. Place trash in the designated receptacle or pack it out when you leave.
CELL SERVICE
Cell service is generally strong throughout Wild Indigo Forest Farm, making it easy to check the weather, share photos, or reach us during your visit.
You are also welcome to set your phone aside, breathe deeply, and enjoy uninterrupted time in the forest.
PETS + PEACEFUL HOURS
Approved pets must remain supervised and under their guardian’s control. Please prevent pets from chasing wildlife, roaming unattended, entering sensitive habitats, or disturbing other guests. Always dispose of pet waste properly.
Keep voices, music, and lighting at a respectful level, especially during the evening and early morning. Allow the owls, frogs, insects, wind, and water to become your nighttime soundtrack.
LEAVE NO TRACE
Please leave your campsite as beautiful—or even more beautiful—than you found it. Do not damage, disturb, or remove plants, trees, mushrooms, stones, feathers, nests, or wildlife.
Welcome, Friend of the Forest. Breathe deeply, wander gently, and let the land hold you for a while.

Creekside Critters
Tent site · Sleeps 8
Critters Creek is a beautiful off the road Forest escape for those who want to feel alone in the forest. This location is across from nearby farms but far enough away that you won't be able to see them through the trees - unless its Winter and early early Spring... then you may see some cows and the tops of two barns.
Hipcamp guests can refill their drinking water at Knob N’ Wood Retreat Center, where fresh Berkey-filtered water is available at all times, next to the grill. There is no water hookup directly at the campsites, so guests should arrive with drinking water and bring reusable bottles or containers for refills.
Important Restroom Notice
Please note that this is a primitive campsite, and a toilet is not provided. All campers are required to bring their own portable or composting toilet and dispose of waste responsibly in accordance with Leave No Trace practices. Thank you for helping us protect our beautiful forest, wetlands, and wildlife.

RV/tent site · Sleeps 16 · Vehicles under 30 ft
Tucked into the forest just off our quiet private residential road, this spacious campsite offers plenty of room for a large RV or camper, multiple vehicles, tents, and group camping. The road is shared with a handful of neighbors, so an occasional car may pass, but the site itself feels wonderfully private and immersed in the woods.
We’ve intentionally kept the surrounding trees and branches lush to create a natural screen from the road while still allowing vehicle access. There’s ample space to spread out, string hammocks between the trees, pitch additional tents, and gather together beneath the canopy.
Best of all, the campsite connects directly to our private trail system, so you can step out of camp and straight into the woods. Or, hit the trail down to the pond.
Directly off the road, at the second highest knob in Indiana, you will find yourself surrounded by a Native wildflower meadow and multiple immediate trailheads to venture down!

This is a living forest, not a manicured campground. Expect hills, roots, rocks, fallen branches, mud, wet ground, insects, ticks, poison ivy, wildlife, and changing natural conditions.
Bring sturdy footwear, a flashlight or headlamp, seasonal clothing, and your preferred insect protection. Remain on established paths whenever possible and check yourself regularly for ticks.
FOOD, TRASH + WILDLIFE
Secure all food, beverages, toiletries, trash, and scented items when not in use. Never feed wildlife or leave food scraps behind. Place trash in the designated receptacle or pack it out when you leave.
CELL SERVICE
Cell service is generally strong throughout Wild Indigo Forest Farm, making it easy to check the weather, share photos, or reach us during your visit.
You are also welcome to set your phone aside, breathe deeply, and enjoy uninterrupted time in the forest.
PETS + PEACEFUL HOURS
Approved pets must remain supervised and under their guardian’s control. Please prevent pets from chasing wildlife, roaming unattended, entering sensitive habitats, or disturbing other guests. Always dispose of pet waste properly.
Keep voices, music, and lighting at a respectful level, especially during the evening and early morning. Allow the owls, frogs, insects, wind, and water to become your nighttime soundtrack.
LEAVE NO TRACE
Please leave your campsite as beautiful—or even more beautiful—than you found it. Do not damage, disturb, or remove plants, trees, mushrooms, stones, feathers, nests, or wildlife.
Welcome, Friend of the Forest. Breathe deeply, wander gently, and let the land hold you for a while.

Lady Slippers Way
Awesome host and location! I was impressed with how passionate Dixie is about the land and making folks feel welcome. A very colorful space that I hope to see grow. I’ll miss the warm welcome from Lady, Loki, and Persimmon, what sweet beans! Im excited to attend a retreat or return just to camp again. A perfect vibe 🌾🍁🌞

Bubbas Buzz By The Pond
Elise was so nice! She was very communicative the whole time. The place was literally magical — and I recommended folks who are interested in a lowkey spot, but a place for landing with some not too hard of trails to come here! I will definitely be back!

Luna's Meadow for Stargazing
Camping here was a wonderful experience. Dixie was so kind, accommodating, and quick to respond to any questions I had. Her knowledge of the land made the experience all the better- you can truly tell how much she cares and respects the land. The site itself is beautifully maintained and was PERFECT for a quiet, relaxing time. 10/10 would recommend!

Creekside Den
Rugged terrain with a pond and creek. Great spot for someone wanting to hike and camp. The hoist is super friendly and informative.
Our stay at wild indigo farm was amazing!! The land is absolutely stunning, covered in native plants, wildflowers and herbal medicine. We were greeted with fresh watermelon juice and felt so welcomed. Our camping spot was very safe and cozy, perfect for a peaceful night of rest during our long roadtrip. Elise and her family are incredibly sweet and gracious hosts. We will definitely be back to camp again!
