Farm camping under the stars
This was a really fun trip. Our family has been camping many times but this was a our first trip away from the big campsites. It made the experience more about the family and friends and allowed us to have fun and enjoy time just chilling away from the world! The farm animals were fun to watch as well. Our girls really enjoyed the trip and didn't want to leave. Excellent experience!

Highly recommend camping here. The farm is beautiful, the animals are fun, and the host is very friendly. I'd love to come back when the garden is ready to harvest because I know it will be impressive.
The dogs that live here can bark, but are very friendly too.

Great place to pitch a tent for the night. I loved all the animals - piglets, sheep including a baby, chickens/rooster. Close to Parke County covered bridges and Turkey Run/Shades/Raccoon Lake. Justin and his son, Henry greeted me and were very friendly.

Perfect little one night get away for me. But a great spot to have a large group.

A good place for an overnighter.
The land was fine. I was only there for one night and didn’t see much of the site due to arriving and leaving in the dark, but what I did see looked okay. Justin’s dogs were very curious, but he called them in after I called him. Would recommend for anyone willing to rough it in place of a hotel and save a little money.

Roaming Dogs
Unfortunately we had to leave Justin’s site as soon as we arrived due to his dogs causing conflict with our pups!
His two dogs greet you as you pull in and don’t seem to want to leave! We tried to let our dogs out to pee after a 2 hour drive & his bigger white dog was very persistent in nipping and herding our dogs to the point of conflict between them and us having to pull out immediately so we weren’t stuck in our car all night.
We tried to reach out to Justin twice to see if there was a way of separating them for the evening but we have still not hear a thing back!
This is a night spot to stay for the evening if you don’t have dogs & don’t mind dogs barking endlessly!
I would come back if there was better communication from the hosts!
