We had a great time tent camping at Stobo Farms! The campsite was easily accessible and Josh brought us potable water and filled the camp shower before our arrival. The creek was also very nice.

Great Fossil Hunting

15 ft car · With kids

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.

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.
