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

Black Walnut Grove at Happy Hollow

Tent Camping

It was raining heavily most of the time we were there, so we miss out on tree web. Other than that, it was a good experience with tent camping. Kerry was a good host and so were the dogs. The dogs were there with us and feel protected throughout the night. There is sink, and close to restroom. If you want to escape busy lifestyle and enjoy peace, this is a good experience. Kerry lives in the property so, it gives us a peace of mind, if there were an emergency. Overall, it was a good experience.

Black Walnut Grove at Happy Hollow

This was our second year coming to Happy Hollow and it won't be our last! We love the location and Kerry the host is wonderful! He's available if you need him but gives you your space to enjoy the property. The amenities are perfect for our needs and we bring a generator for any power needs we might have. We'll be back again!
