🌿 Sadona Farms — A Unique Farm Stop Just Off I-65 Welcome to Sadona Farms! 🌙 A Different Kind of Overnight Stop We are not a campground. We are a working farm. Sadona Farms is a small, 10-acre working farm in Southern Indiana, located just 5 minutes from the Scottsburg I-65 exit. What we offer is something a little different: a peaceful farm stop for travelers who need a place to pull off the road, get some rest, and continue their journey the next day. If you’re traveling up or down I-65 and simply need a place to stop for the night, you’re welcome here. Get off the interstate, settle in, stretch your legs, enjoy some fresh air, and get a good night’s sleep before getting back on the road. If you’re looking for a traditional campground with full campground amenities, this is not it. We don’t have rows of traditional campsites, bathhouses, or the typical campground experience. Instead, you’re staying on a real working farm, enjoying rustic dispersed camping and a little bit of farm life along your journey. ⛺ Rustic Dispersed Farm Camping Our camping areas are grassy, dispersed camping spots throughout our working farm. The sites are not private or secluded, and depending on how many guests are staying, you may see other campers nearby. That’s part of the experience at Sadona Farms. You’re camping on a working farm, surrounded by open space, gardens, animals, and farm activity. We have three community fire pits located around the property that guests are welcome to enjoy. Bring your own chair, gather around the fire, and relax after a day on the road. We also have one shared porta-potty available for camping guests. Please come expecting a simple, rustic farm camping experience, rather than campground-style amenities. 🌱 You’re Staying on a Working Farm Sadona Farms is a true working farm, and the property changes with the seasons. We grow lavender and flowers, maintain a market garden, and have chickens, goats, peacocks, and honeybees on the farm. During the growing season, our farm stand may have farm-fresh eggs, honey, seasonal vegetables, baked goods, and other farm products available. The farm stand operates on the honor system, so feel free to stop by and see what we have available during your stay. 🚗 Convenient for I-65 Travelers Our location is what makes Sadona Farms such a unique stop. We’re approximately 5 minutes from I-65, making it easy to get off the interstate, rest for the night, and get back on the road the next morning without going far out of your way. We’re about 2 miles from the Scottsburg town square and approximately 10 minutes from Walmart if you need food, groceries, or other travel necessities. 🥞 Farm-Fresh Breakfast Delivered to Your Door Want to wake up, enjoy a delicious breakfast, and get back on the road without making another stop? We offer a farm-fresh breakfast delivered right to your RV or tent at 7:30 a.m. Choose from: 🥞 Pancake Breakfast — $14 per person Fluffy pancakes, scrambled eggs, and sausage, featuring eggs from the chickens right here at Sadona Farms. 🍳 Biscuits & Gravy Breakfast — $14 per person Fresh biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs, and fresh fruit. Just let us know the night before you go to bed if you’d like breakfast. We’ll have it ready and deliver it right to your campsite at 7:30 a.m. It’s the perfect way to start your morning before getting back on I-65 and continuing your journey. 🌙 Pull In. Rest Up. Keep Traveling. Sadona Farms is for the traveler who wants to get off the road, slow down for the night, enjoy a little fresh air and farm life, and wake up ready to continue the journey. We’re not trying to be a campground. We’re offering something different. A peaceful place to stop. A real working farm. A good night’s rest. And maybe a little taste of farm life along the way. If that’s what you’re looking for, we’d love to have you at Sadona Farms.

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.

We had a wonderful stay, our hosts were amazing from arrival to our departure. The farm is beautiful, picturesque, and quiet. We stayed beside the horse barn with electric and water, it was fantastic! We were in town for family visits and The Farm at Grace Hill fit our needs perfectly. If you are a horse lover this is a must visit, many horses are on site and we could visit with them at the barn when in their stalls. They also have a wandering pig that we enjoyed watching as it worked its way around the property. We would rate our stay as 5 stars, and would highly recommend this host.
