Apple Orchards
5 m campervan
Staying at Jonathan's orchard with my dog in our campervan has been a dream. I'm originally from the Indy area but had a breakdown while passing through and wanted somewhere near the city but with enough nature nearby to keep my nomadic heart happy.
Jonathan's HipCamp is perfect! It's near enough to stores and resources that I don't feel stranded, but it's in an open area with a beautiful landscape of woods, fruit trees, and open skies. My dog and I have loved being here, and really enjoy all the nature trails through the woods!
The electric plug-in and water available under the carport has been so great--I've stayed all over at HipCamps from Florida to Alaska and Canada, and this is a great option for short or long-term, and can accommodate anything from a tent to an RV (and I believe I heard they once hosted a converted school bus!).
Jonathan has been so welcoming, and he and his family are always respectful of our privacy, but he has also gone above and beyond with offering to pick things up for me and/or help me problem solve as I do repairs on my van. If you're looking for a place near Indy that's a bit off the beaten path, this is the HipCamp for you. I cannot recommend it enough! :)
