We're bringing my family farm back to life. My parents farmed here until the 1980's, but couldn't make a profit with corn and soybeans. My husband, Nate, and I moved home in 2014, and started turning the fields into pastures. Today, we run Nightfall Farm, raise animals with respect, and sell pasture-raised meat locally. Come wander the 125 acres of woods, wetlands, and farm. Check out the animals in our pastures, and walk along the Muscatatuck River. Enjoy a quiet fire. Hear the roar of frogs calling in Spring. Chase fireflies. Behold a family farm coming back to life.

Camping near Aurora guide

Overview

Sitting along the bend in the Ohio River, Aurora is known for its historic downtown area, fine art, and nearby camping adventures. Head 20 minutes west to Versailles State Park for a glimpse of Civil War history while hiking, fishing, and boating. Tent and RV sites near the park feature electric hookups, dumping stations, and group camp areas so history buffs can spend a few days here. If a cabin rental is more desirable, find a few nearby that offer furnished living areas and free wifi. An hour north, campers can find Hueston Woods State Park, known for fossil hunting opportunities and a full golf course. RV and tent sites here offer hot showers, bathroom facilities, and fire pits. If glamping is in the cards, find private cabins with full kitchens, dining areas, heating, and air conditioning. Miami Whitewater Forest is great for pets and campers looking for extensive hiking trails and disc golf. RVs are welcome at campsites with 30-amp electric hookups, fire rings, and picnic tables.
