This campground adjoins Bone Cave State Natural Area located in Van Buren County. Big Bone Cave is a 400 acre natural area with trails and a cave that contained bones of a giant ground sloth discovered in 1811 and is maintained by Rock Island State Park. The cave is not currently open to the public. Rock Island State Park (swimming, fishing and hiking) is only 6 miles from the campground and Fall Creek Falls State Park (swimming, fishing, hiking and home of the Annual Mountaineer Folk Festival) is a beautiful 25 mile drive through the winding roads and mountains of Van Buren county.

WOW!
This place is a true hidden gem! The view is breath taking and it's in close proximity to some great waterfalls and parks. My family and I enjoyed the very private property and having electric, water and a outhouse made our primitive stay more comforting. 10/10 recommend!

We tent camped on Melissa’s property for one night. It was my first hip camp experience, and definitely sold me! We loved the location- the photos don’t do it justice. Watching the sunset over the mountain was a perfect way to end the night. The amenities were minimal and perfect, everything we needed to be comfortable but still have privacy and feel secluded. The only critters we encountered were flying, stinging ones- a few wasps were building nests in the outhouse. That’s nature for you- but just be wary when you reach for the toilet paper. The fire ring was huge, the grass was soft, the breeze was nice. Melissa was responsive and wonderful. 10/10 recommend!

Awesome location
Loved this place and would go back when in the area. Very private. Had full hookup I love the fact that we were the only ones there. The hairpin curve was tight in our 37’ RV but I went ahead to flag if a car came along. I do wish there was a real bathroom, but I’m finicky on that 😊. Melissa was so nice and accommodating and has a beautiful piece of land. Definitely be back one day!

This was our first time staying at a HipCamp and it sure was amazing! It is quiet, secluded and the view is gorgeous! We had everything we needed at the site for a perfect stay. It was just what we needed for our anniversary weekend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Melissa's site! There was more than enough room to setup and spread out our tents. The view was stunning! It was quiet and we saw maybe 4 cars a day, if that. We were able to hike through some shorter trails, ended up by the second site that's in progress before wandering on the road. We all felt safe and comfortable the whole weekend. Outhouse was very clean and tidy, easy to change out bags. Everyone is already talking about when we can go back! We will definitely be repeats for years to come :)
