Nest in the Songbird: nestled in the peaceful heart of the Hoosier National Forest. Treat yourself to retreat and get away to this secluded piece of heaven on earth snugged into the national forest in a rural area. Enjoy peace, and quiet as you glamp in the Songbird, a classic 1979 camper. Being in the Hoosier National Forest, we are situated in a recreational region that features many outdoor activities and offerings for nature lovers to explore and enjoy. Plentiful adventures await you! The Hoosier National Forest features many outdoor activities and offerings. Pick Perry says, "From the hiking and camping in the nearly 60,000 acres of Hoosier National Forest to biking and taking in the foliage on the Ohio River Scenic Byway, the great outdoors offers four seasons of fun. We are a very short walk from the Oriole Trailhead of the Hoosier National Forest. Enjoy hiking the nearby National Forest Trails! Enjoy the Songbird as a launchpad into Perry County (and nearby counties) recreational offerings! Hiking and Horseback Riding: With 84 miles trails to explore, hiking is one of the most popular activities at the Hoosier National Forest throughout the year. Group hikes are frequently scheduled by the Perry County Parks & Recreation and are open to visitors. 50 miles of the Hoosier National Forest trails are open to horseback riding. Most notably, the German Ridge, Mogan Ridge, and Oriole trails wind through tall pines and include stream crossings and scenic views. Swimming: Sand beaches welcome swimmers at Tipsaw Lake Recreation Area and German Ridge Recreation Area within the Hoosier National Forest. Biking: The rolling hills of Perry County are a bicyclist’s dream because the landscape is both challenging and picturesque. Perry County offers eight different biking routes which wind through the county. Routes range from 2o miles to 85 miles in distance. Boating: You’ll never find the Ohio River crowded. Boaters have thousands of acres of water on which to boat, ski, canoe, fish, and swim. Plus, there are plenty of places to pull up a boat for a picnic or camping. Kayaking and Canoeing: You can enjoy the five lakes at the Hoosier National Forest which are Tipsaw, Celina, Indian, Rainbow, and Saddle. Kayak or Canoe the Blue River in nearby Milltown, Indiana. Fishing: Fishing: With access to over 18,000 acres of water, Perry County is an angler’s year-round fishing paradise. Try your luck for bass, crappie, bluegill, sauger, catfish, or striped bass. Some of Perry County’s best fishing embayment's are: Oil Creek, Poison Creek, Bear Creek and Deer Creek. Oil, Poison and Deer all can be accessed from the Ohio River, and anglers can make their way a number of miles up the meandering streams for fishing in areas with excellent structure. The Hoosier National Forest also has plenty of fishing opportunities. This includes four good fishing lakes – Tipsaw, Indian-Celina, and Saddle. All four are stocked with largemouth bass, crappie, bluegill, redear and catfish, and are rarely crowded. All four lakes have boat ramps and no gasoline motors are permitted, but electric trolling motors can be used. Caving: Explore the vast cave systems in Indiana, from the 7th largest cave in the US to the longest subterranean river. Find out the history, features, and tours of each cave, and how to visit them in southern Indiana.

The place was absolutely adorable! The camper is even cuter in person. Definitely recommend going by Hemlock Cliffs in the area, as It's just a slip down the road. Karen was super responsive and provided everything needed. 10/10 would recommend

Amazing!! So peaceful!!
This little place is such a gem!! Karen is absolutely phenomenal!! Great hostess, quickly responds to messages, and very helpful as we are unfamiliar with the area. We were looking for a little getaway and it was absolutely perfect! We are typically primitive campers but decided to change it up this time and I’m so happy we did!! Highly recommend Hemlock Cliffs and Marengo Caves when you’re in the area!! Karen makes sure you have everything you need! We only needed to bring food, bedding, and a couple of towels. Camper is completely covered with a large covered area to sit and relax. So nice to have a warm shower and a cooktop….we didn’t even have to start a fire but Karen made sure we had wood just in case! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Newbies nest at the Songbird
My little girls (ages 7 and 4) had an absolute blast staying here! Everything was thought out like where to put the grease and how to take care of the septic system. It was all clearly described and laid out for us. It was so easy to use even for newbies such as ourselves. The lights and the fire pit just made it a wonderful way to get away from it all. We would definitely love to stay here again!
