Country Outpost RV Site

Looking for a couple acres all to yourself?  Then overnight your self-contained RV at our retired Christmas tree farm.  An active "choose-n-cut" tree farm until 2019, we're letting most of our farm grow wild with some deciduous trees also. There are walking trails throughout the "woods" and around our 3/4 acre fishing pond (catch n release please).  Relax on the bench on the old country store porch or by the fire ring, fish, or stretch your legs and walk the dog.   A pleasant, private, isolated spot in the country to overnight or spend a couple days. 

If you're a small family staying just one night, there is no "extra guest" fee for dependent children.

Includes a 30 amp service hookup.  Gravel parking lot angles slightly up hill.   No tents, no swimming please.  2 nights max per stay.  No bathrooms on site! Operated by Outpost Enterprises, LTD

The Cedar Lodge and Cabins

We are thrilled to share our cozy tiny cabins with you all!!

The Cedar Lodge & Cabins
🌲Lakefront Cabin, Floating Tiny Home
📍90 miles from Indy, Cincy, & Columbus
🪵Your weekend getaway is waiting!

Our property is tucked away in the small village of New Paris in Southwestern Ohio, with wooded grounds and a picturesque pond - and plenty of birding opportunities, we've been told!

Don't miss the outdoor firepit, nothing better than a bonfire next to the lakefront!

The bathroom has a separate entry, shared between this unit (the Cozy Lakefront Cabin) and our floating tiny home also on the property (the Grey Heron). We ask that all guests be respectful of shared spaces and others' property.

A spacious and luxurious bathroom located conveniently nearby. Including grab bars and a mini-split for personal comfort.

Enjoy the rainfall shower head in this spa-like environment.

Our cozy tiny cabin consists of a studio-style single bedroom with a phenomenal lake-front view!


Special features include a queen-sized bed, reading lights, and a dimmable chandelier!

Hidden Valley Fun Time Happy Camp!

Once the secret speakeasy after dark spot for local political big wigs this property has been transformed from swampland to hidden gem right on the edge of America's Hometown of Muncie, Indiana!

Welcome to Narnia! Or Atlantis!? Or... The Property? The Hidden Valley? We just haven't committed to a name yet so it's a little bit of everything all rolled into one! 8 acres on the magical Ganges, er, White River makes for a fun time.  You can expect a certain amount of privacy while still potentially making a new friend or two depending on the night.  You will be nestled under some giant sycamores, cottonwoods, black walnuts, catulpas, and a mess of bush honeysuckle that is always being battled! We have 2-3 sites directly on the river and then scores throughout with trails, hills, and other interesting features. Multiple firepits though I CANNOT guarantee firewood. There is often plenty to collect or available on site but if you can bring your own that'd be safest bet!

We are (somehow) located partially inside Muncie city limits right on the river.  Yes you may occasionally hear some trains or even particularly loud cars while camping deep in the woods but this is the tradeoff for a one mile drive to bars, restaurants, and groceries! Best of both worlds. The Muncie Eagles, whose nest resides directly across the river from us, do not seem to mind! This location is also directly on two main bike trail routes and our trails are fun for low impact mountain biking! We also have a small armada of kayaks/canoes on site; IF arranged that option does exist for cost of transport! We have 2 porta potties on site as well and fresh water hose available at main house. 

 Looking forward to hosting!

Sea of Green Campsite

Learn more about this land:

If you are here in the spring through fall, you can expect a "sea of green". We are surrounded by corn, soybeans or some other mid-west crop. It's quiet out here, so enjoy the sunshine. We put out a large garden each year and we'd love your help.

Right now, we can only offer primitive camping. Our electric is not operational. 

If there has been a lot of rain (April and part of May), then the ground is too soft for camping. However, if you just need a spot we have some gravel driveways where you can set up. 

There are lots of places to visit while you are here. Two large lakes with free public access are about 40 miles away - Lake Loramie and Grand Lake St. Marys. Lake Loramie has a public beach, bicycle rentals, canoes and kayaks. There is a great restaurant across from the State Park.
