We now have 3 buildings for rent. The Cozy Camping Cottage, the Camping Cabin and the newest addition is our A-frame which is the most secluded spot on the land. - Voted best Hipcamp in Indiana to visit for 6 years. - Listed on Rachael Ray Magazine's "8 of America's Coolest Campgrounds" We offer a "Camping Cabin", The "Cozy Camping Cottage" or tent camping in Black Walnut Grove, in an open field, in the woods, or a shady grove. We like to interact with people or you can keep to yourself and have a quiet getaway in the woods. Sorry, but the tree house isn't available to rent since it is my home. I may rent it out in the future. Also in progress is the "Dome" We are on a solar powered, off the grid 30 acre homestead that has 24 acres of wooded land and 6 acres of groomed land. Come explore our land and relax in the "Tree Web", see the 2 story tree house that I live in, have fun on the tire swing, or just sit and enjoy all that nature has to offer. You can explore our interesting topography that has close to 100 foot of elevation changes, our (mostly) dry creek system that starts with 2 springs that drain into 3 sinkholes or walk 3 miles of trails (if you follow each trail from end to end). We love groups - Host your event here or have a group gathering with all your friends and family. We have spaces large enough to host hundreds of people. We welcome pets for camping, but no pets allow in the Camping Cabin. Also be aware that we have 2 friendly dogs on the land that roam freely. - 3.5 miles to Marengo Cave - 7 miles to the Blue River (canoes, rafting and swimming) - 30 minutes to Patoka Lake - 37 miles west of Louisville - 13 miles north of Interstate 64

It was an excellent tent camping site; very quiet, great trees, tent pads fit any size or number of tents you have. The net web was fun. Kerry was super nice, communicated well and was flexible on check in/out. Would stay again.

Kerry was such a hospitable, accommodating and kind host. I couldn’t recommend Happy Hollow Homestead more! We loved our dispersed camp site. It felt very private and it was immersed in nature. We loved the two dogs that came to visit us. Thanks for an amazing stay Kerry!

Nature Camping!
We loved tent camping on Kerry's land. The land was absolutely beautiful! We enjoyed hiking and just sitting by the camp fire. Some bonus features included the outdoor HOT shower, WiFi, and the fun tree web. If you are looking for a remote get back to nature experience this is your place. Kerry's was a great host. We will absolutely be back!

Camping Cabin
The place is simply lovely and quiet, for people looking for a place away from the hustle and bustle, this is your place! The owner's attention and hospitality is unbeatable, that night even though it was late when we arrived at the place, he waited for us to greet us and show us the camp, and he very kindly helped us start a campfire, everything was perfect, we will definitely return!
