We'd love to host you, your friends, and your pets on our 45 acres of woods and prairie! More about the location: 45 acres of combined farmland, prairie reserve, and forest--Pirate Woods is the perfect location for a getaway that still has nearby access to rural community amenities. This property is located 5 minutes from I-70 and 30-45 minutes from downtown Indianapolis. You can also access Knightstown via U.S. 40. Camp Areas: Pirate Woods campsites: are located in an 8 acre forest. There is a communal campfire ring with stocked woodpile for your use. Nearby are a few chairs for your use. You may create a fire ring at your own campsite if a fire ban is not in effect - but please be responsible. Sites 5 and 7 boast the best spots for hammock campers. Fauna: Pirate Woods is home to a variety of animals: great horned owls, deer, a mysterious grey wolf fox, chickens, pileated woodpeckers (and other varieties), finches, rose-breasted grosbeaks and more. Activities and Water: Feel free to walk, jog, or mountain bike the mowed paths. Bringing your own water is best. Though it's a short walk along the property to reach our back barn where there is a spigot available for your use (you may drink it from the tap, but purifying it recommended.) Town (Knightstown): A trip to town is only a 2 minute drive (or bike) away where you can grab Mexican or pub food at local restaurants when you don't feel like cooking over a fire. Additionally, the Blue River runs nearby and there is local access in town where you can rent kayaks. Other Town Highlights: 1. The Hoosier Gym (from the movie Hoosiers) 2. Farmers and Artisan market every Saturday morning June-July 3. Boondocks farm frisbee golf 4.

Eclipse Camping - excellent!

This was such a great experience for the total eclipse! The property is lovely, the sites spacious and private. Michelle & Kyle were such gracious hosts, helping with arrival and always very responsive to our needs. Having firewood available was a real treat as well. We had a great time camping and eclipsing with the puppies, who loved the opportunity to run around. Highly recommend for tent camping, would absolutely come back!

Pirate Woods - Site 10 (Horse Hill)

I had contacted Michelle months before I arrived to their campsite we talked about the solar eclipe and how I had anticipated camping on their beautiful campsite which was located on a hill for perfect viewing of the solar eclipse. ( I'm a photographer) When I arrived I was greeted with their solar eclipe package including solar glasses her mothers homemade jam ( which was gone by the time I left, delicious!) I was given the opportunity to change to another campsite when the campsite I orginally had chosen was less than favorable for eclipse viewing (which was gracious on their part!) The wooded area at the top of the hill was teeming with songbirds and my favorite of all birds OWLS! The land is beautiful! all other campers respected campers edicate. I have always been very self sufficent when camping so if you come prepared you should have a wonderfull experience like I did. We were all blessed with perfect bright sunny weather ( In april!!) and the solar eclipe was enjoyed by all those attending. I had audio recorded the eclipse and you can hear the local residents in neighboring farms around the campsite yelling in wonder and delight at the most spiritual mind bending perfect eclipse ever!! I wont be alive for the next solar eclipse so this was special beyond belief and all because of Michelle and her management style and gracious outpouring of kindness. Thanks to all

Pirate Woods - Site 2

Wonderful campsite with gracious hosts! The area was nice and secluded with pristine mowed areas and a great fire place. Loved pirate woods and a cute well stocked outhouse. Came by on a cross country bicycle tour and had a relaxing stay! Cheers
