Ive been eyeing this spot for awhile and was so happy to finally visit. Such a beautiful and private spot. You can hear the waterfall trickle from your tent. I took a beautiful walk down into it and it was just stunning! We were there in bad weather, a lot of rain, and the. Drive was very muddy but we managed. Wouldn’t have been a bad walk if I would have had to park by the road. Also with the bad weather, Martin was always quick to reply. He gave great recommendations for weather stations to watch. It was a great middle point for many parks around! While the drives to Turkey run, shades, McCormicks and cataract falls weren’t bad. I very HIGHLY reccomend checking out Depauw quarry and Fern Cliff in the area. my kids and I enjoyed our stay so much and cannot wait to get back.

Beautiful and secluded! We will be back. The driveway to get to the spot is slightly overgrown as of mid October.

Forest waterfall.
Really neat site and very private. Martin and his son were very friendly and helpful. The site is in the middle of the woods on their property and right next to a very cool rock formation that turns into a waterfall when there is enough rain fall. You should have no trouble at all driving your vehicle to the site (though you may brush up against some vegetation if you have a larger vehicle). The road to the site itself is not at all obvious but I ended up at their work shop and Marin and his son helped me out and drove me to the site. A bit out of the way if you are just driving across country and looking for a place to sleep, but worth it if you want a unique and very private site in the woods!

I love tent camping here! So quiet and beautiful, this time we saw deer walk through the campsite and there was even an owl that visited! Can’t wait until my next trip!

Forest waterfall.
Arrived quite late but host was welcoming and his son showed me to the campsite. Campsiet was dry inspite of rains a few days earlier. Was a good night stay and got plenty of rest. Not so sure about the waterfall, I am guessing in its day the waterfall was quite a sight to see but is currently dry. The rock formations are fantastic and worth a visit.
