Large secluded cove near our barn and garden. Watch the sun come up from the orchard. There is 1 electrical plug so not all 3 spaces have electric but you can run a cord. There is also a single water spigot to share as well. There are 2 houses somewhat visible through the trees but no direct line of sight and otherwise private. May see us feeding animals or tending garden. There is also a livestock guardian dog (Cotton) on property, we just ask that you please do not feed her or leave food/trash laying around for her to find.  This is a farm so you may see and smell animals. Depending on when you book you may even be somewhat near animals. Be aware of this and be ready to keep dogs contained. Ask us about purchasing a bag of fresh meat or veggies from our market garden Henrysmarketindiana.comThis listing is intended for overnighters more so than someone wanting to spend the weekend with a bunch of people. Large secluded cove near our barn and garden.

My dogs do run loose on property, we just ask that you please do not feed them or leave food/trash laying around for them to find and if you make friends they may not leave your camp.  I am running pigs through the woods around this area this summer, so you may smell them slightly but should never be bad. I will be wandering around tending to chores in the early mornings/evenings as well as most days on the weekend.

I loved the peace, quiet, and privacy. The farm animals hanging out added to the unique experience. I just loved it. Would do it again.

Overall we had a great experience. We had the campsite to ourselves and I set up a hammock to sleep in. My family slept in our vehicle. It was fun to be near the animals but one of the pigs was overly friendly and there was a dog that barked part of the night. So not as peaceful as it might seem but if you’re looking for a low cost camping alternative this fits the bill. We felt very safe.

If you are looking for a simple camp spot, this place is great! As a solo traveler I felt very safe the whole time. It is on a farm so expect some farm noises but I thought it really added to the unique stay. The sunrise in the morning was beautiful and Justin was great at communicating. Would recommend for those looking for a simple place to pitch a tent or hang a hammock!

What a privilege to get to stay on land that has been Justin‘s family for over 100 years. We enjoyed meeting Justin‘s cousin and his wife and kids. My daughter loved the hogs and chickens (just watch out for the electric fence! I forgot that my dog has always lived in the city and didn’t know to keep his tail low!) We all had to leave early in the morning because of a major morning storm, but everyone stayed dry!

Country Livin, even if it was just
Nice quiet, secluded camp, in the middle of a cornfield. The hogs and the animals were very cute. And Barbara, the Jack Russel Terrier, was very sweet, and greeted us warmly. The directions and signs were spot on. Thanks for everything.

We loved tent camping on Justin’s land. It was beautiful, the animals were adorable, and Justin was very nice.
