Eclipse Viewing party
Peaceful, wild, and free land
Our site had a field on one side and forest and dry creek on the other. Animals wandered around through our site, but never disrupted us or our things. Fire pit at every site. Outhouses. Trails. Dishwashing station, water spickets around. Very clean and peaceful. Surprisingly, the early morning and daytime hours were quiet—with the eclipse party, the evening was louder, but not disruptively loud! Lots of kids roaming free, but they did not disturb us. Beware of a neighboring dog at the entrance who bit and scratched our bumper and scratched up our vehicle’s door and paint with its teeth!

💫👌👍🫶
Being able to spend time on Kerry's land was absolutely amazing! Kerry was SUCH a great host, checking in and making sure we had everything we needed and making sure our time was going well. The land was beautiful, so much open space and trees. There are hand-built cabin type buildings, so many camping spots amongst the trees, a woven nest type thing in the trees that you can sit in, an igloo type building, and lots of paths to explore. It's the perfect place to come, relax and spend some time in nature. Talking to Kerry was so much fun, he's such a smart guy and really knows his land. I'm super excited to come back and see what he's come up with for his land next! I never realized how cool this part of indiana was. The indiana valley is beautiful. 10/10 experience!!!

To eclipse and beyond!
Kerry was an amazing host from start to finish, all while navigating extra campers during the total solar eclipse! He was responsive to messages, easily available to support all needs/requests while at camp and super friendly throughout our stay. My friend and I were strategically placed in an area on the property with other guests that he thought we would vibe with and feel comfortable camping around (and he was right). The bathroom (closest to my campsite) was clean and had a running sink with a power outlet available that I used to charge my phone, feeling safe to leave it in there unattended. There was plenty of space across the property for all of us to be spread out while not disturbing each other and the tree web was a fun added perk for bouncing and stargazing. The land was split with Kerry's neighbor who welcomed us on his side of the property for eclipse festivities and exploration. I enjoyed a hike on-site and Kerry recommended a great hike off-site that my friend and I checked out before traveling home. This was such a wonderful experience and I would totally recommend this site for other campers! It looks like there is even more in store for the future of this land.

Spectacular Eclipse Trip
I decided to book Kerry's site because it seemed like a great place for a chill viewing event for the solar eclipse. All the reviews I read mentioned the wonderful hospitality they received, and that's exactly what we experienced. Kerry helped us pick a site, brought out firewood right too us, and regularly rode around and checked in with campers. The large, open grass area was perfect for everyone to view the eclipse together! The entire property had plenty of space for all the campers, while still being able to maintain privacy. There's new projects being worked on the land, and it's super neat to see the progress! The site is off-leash allowed for dogs, so our pup had a great time getting to explore! We had other dogs coming and going from our tent, and it was a great way to get chatting with your site neighbors around you. The two days we spent there, we really felt very welcome and taken care of. You can tell that they are really passionate about the land and developing the site into a fantastic property. 10/10. We'll be back if we're ever down that direction again. Cheers, Kerry! 🍻

Eclipse and camping fun!
Happy Hollow Homestead threw an epic party for the Solar Eclipse!
The camping grounds were clean, well-maintained, and Kerry was responsive to our requests. This was our second visit: the first was quiet and relaxing, the second - not so quiet but very fun. Clean bathrooms, hot showers made camping comfortable. Try Kerry's maple syrup - it's amazing!
