The Farm-ish Camp & Gather Barn

100%
(2)
31mi from Red Hills State Park · 94 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Owensville, IN
Camp and gather at our family owned farm- The Farm-ish Momstead, also known as The Martin Family Farm. Available for primitive camping, day use, or event gathering. Amenities could include the use of the event barn for groups and events, a lake, fishing (bring your own pole and tackle, kayak or SUPs), bonfire pits, a shelter house, and a reliving farm experience if you choose to take part- beef cows, dairy goats (often including milking and goat kids), a mini highland cow, and chickens. Included in your stay is our resident Safety Manager, our collie Tilly. Please know she has a job to do and her best tool is her voice. You may hear barking as she keeps critters away. Other than that, she’s super friendly, although she may forget her manners at times and jump when excited.

48mi from Red Hills State Park · 7 sites · Tents, RVs · Parkers Settlement, IN
Places of Sanctuary has 30 Acres of woods which include several dedicated hiking trails with beautiful clearings and benches for resting and reflecting along the way. You're welcome to fish in the pond that has plenty of shade and sun, or sit around the bonfire site where we have benches provided and roast marshmallows. With two easy-access large tree houses, bench swings and a big picnic shelter, there's lots of room to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. You might encounter wildlife like: deer, mink, or geese, but you're sure to see our chickens and ducks running around and hear our rooster crow in the morning. Depending on the time and season, we offer several hands on experiences with berry picking, chicken tending, food processing, gardening, and general light land maintenance like checking the trails for down limbs and trash. With gorgeous views and the convenience of being just 10 minutes from University Southern Indiana or 15 minutes from restaurants and stores, we welcome you to camp with us. If you are interested in staying longer than 3 nights or your RV/camper is longer than 36 feet long, please message us to see if we can accommodate your visit. Usually we can!

Overview

About

The views are panoramic from the top of Red Hills, the highest point of land between St. Louis and Cincinnati. The sparkling 40-acre Red Hills Lake provides campers with excellent boating and fishing in warm months. Winter brings ice fishing and ice-skating. Lawrence County locals love the shaded picnic areas at this carefully preserved and maintained state park.

Red Hills boasts 967 acres of high wooded hills at its 515-foot elevation. Deep ravines, verdant meadows, and year-round springs give hikers, bikers and horseback riders plenty to explore. Eight miles of scenic trails of moderate difficulty wind through the park. The best hiking trails are found on the park's north side.

The peaceful Red Hills campground features more than 100 campsites. Class A campers enjoy electricity, a dump station, water, and a modern building with showers and flush toilets. There's a primitive tent camping area, a rent-a-camp cabin, an equestrian campground and a youth group tent camping area.
