The farm is one settled by the early pioneers who stopped going west in the early 1800s after they crossed the Eel river in what was then Owen County, Indiana. Later, it became part of Clay County with the addition of Cass Township. This working farm is comprised of 200 acres of rolling pastures and woodlands in the heart of Hoosier Hospitality - Indiana. Learn more about this land: Tent, car, and RV camping with a place for your horse too! You get your choice of where to hookup or pitch your tent and also enjoy all of the nearby attractions. There are state parks with swimming, and the Exotic Feline Rescue Center which is a little like going on a Safari! Nearby attractions include the Parke County Covered Bridge Festival and the Croy's Creek Traders Fair. We are within a mile of the Eel River and Cataract Lake is also very close for boating and fishing. Other attractions include the Owen/Putnam State Forest and McCormicks Creek State Park. An abundance of wildlife can also be seen at the campsite.

Our stay at the farm was perfect. Despite arriving on the day before the eclipse with limited spots, we found a cozy spot down the road from the main house. Access to water was easy. We are so happy with the unobstructed view of the western sky. We adored the company of woodpeckers, cardinals, and blue jays during our stay. Our kids loved collecting sticks, making log houses, and off road tracks in terrain for their monster trucks. Larry, the owner, is kind and philosophical. His deep love for his land adds a special touch. If you're seeking a serene and simple retreat, this farm is the perfect choice.

Larry was a true gentleman, I pulled up at 2:30 am and slept in the yard without a trouble. Helped me find the best water, a place to charge my phone, and a great view for the eclipse! Would recommend asking to pitch your tent near his rental property across the street; it has the best view.

The Farm

Solar Eclipse at Latham Farms!

My experience at Latham Farms was wonderful. We came to the area to view the solar eclipse. Larry owns a large amount of land & essentially you get to pick where on the land you’d like to camp. Upon arrival Larry personally drove us around to different spots until we found one we liked. He was nothing but generous, kind, and welcoming. The land you camp on is gorgeous & mostly untouched by modern hands. There is a town about 15 minutes away with all that you’d need. Kroger, Walmart, gas, restaurants. Larry was very responsive & checked on us to make sure we were settling in okay. The people in the area are nothing but generous & friendly, welcoming you to their town & honestly extending a helping hand if you need. Tons of locally made products.. honey, maple syrup, farm eggs that you can stop & buy from stands on the side of the road. It was a wonderful experience! If you ever need a low key place to camp out, I couldn’t recommend Larry’s place enough!

Woodland Paradise

Stayed here in a 30ft RV for the full eclipse. It took us a minute to find the right spot but Larry was super friendly, accommodating, and patient. He showed us 3 sites before we found one that worked. We had an open farm field we faced to have an open view of the eclipse. Behind the camper was a woods with trails we could ride our golf cart on in some places. There was some standing water so we’re thinking of going back during a more dry season but the spring time is so gorgeous! Lots of native woodland plants flowering it’s a beautiful woods. We found the nest of a mating pair of hawks who scolded us and warned of our presence. You could hear pileated wood peckers all around. The woods also had a gully that ran through and turned into a ravine where we found the remains of an old structure with a metal roof. Larry gave us a little history that it had been a sugar maple camp back in the day. If you like to explore things like flora and fauna, geology, history, and archeology this a great place to stay!

Cold wonderful camping 🏕️

We were in the back in a beautiful cove of trees with beautiful green grass and a little fire pit. The property was quiet and calm. No noise other that our woodpecker friends and other birds. It was primitive and we liked it that way. We picked a cold time of year to camp and we would come back again. Thanks Larry
