Great Fossil Hunting
My sons and I loved our time at Stobo Farm. We spent hours hunting fossils and geodes along the creek. We were even lucky enough to find a deer jawbone fully intact! Hiking Yellowwood State Forest was a treat, too. The campsite was secluded and spacious. We appreciated the grill, table, and chairs. Joshua was an excellent host and kind enough to show us around the farm when we first arrived.

pros: This was a beautiful spot to enjoy the fall colors! the land is lovely. Joshua and his family were so kind. con: It is right next to a main road and there is a good amount of road noise.

Didn't get a chance to stay long but hope to stop longer in the future. Nice to be able to have my dog with me. Close to IU and Joshua quickly responded to all my questions.

Such a perfect little spot to escape to! The produce on site was delicious as well.

Nice, private campsite that turned out to be a hummingbird hotspot. You can hear the road some but not enough to be bothersome imo. Def better than public campsites! Josh was friendly and got us what we needed
