I have one site next to my house in town just off the highway. It has a gravel pad with Wifi, water, 30 amp electric, outdoor patio, fire pit, and gas grill for cooking. The other two sites are one mile south of town on a private lake in the country. They are grass lots with 30 amp electric only. They require a one mile drive on a gravel road and may not be available if ground is too wet. Fishing is available and pets are welcome at both locations. If you don't want to drive on gravel and like having extra amenities, then stay in town next to my house. If you want to be in a pretty, quiet spot all by yourself in the country with electric only, then stay at the lake. Suggested Local Attractions:Goose Pond fish and wildlife wetland preserve 10 min away. Great for bird watching, hunting, fishing. Large Amish community with a great Friday night Amish auction 20 min away. 1 hour from Bloomington and TerreHaute. 1.5 hours from Evansville and Indianapolis.

Location
Access Road Conditions: House site is just off state highway 67 in Lyons Indiana. My concrete driveway is a little narrow from the pear trees that line it on one side (may lightly scrape some tree leaves) with a tight turn off the highway. It may also require a multiple point turn to get turned back around for bigger rigs. However, I have done it countless times with my 35 foot bumper pull and have also had a 40 foot Class A pull in and out without problem. The lake sites are 1 mile south of town and requires a 1 mile drive on a gravel road. These sites are very private on a nice 5 acre lake on grass pad and may be unavailable if ground is too wet. Easy access here for any size.

Family of 4 who likes to travel. Looking forward to offering you a nice free camp site! Details: Our goal is to show our 2 boys the lower 48 states before they go off to college! Our first trip was out west and I just thought camp grounds were overly priced for what you get. I saw this web site and thought it was a great idea and look forward to being a good host and to find nice free camping in return! Home Town: Lyons, Indiana Favorite Boondocking Locations: Have never boondocked yet! Only KOA's, Jellystone, and state parks so far. Looking forward to trying it.

We enjoyed our stay at this quiet, easy access location. Our host was great with communication and providing information on the local area, things to do and see, etc. Definitely would stay again!

Great spot with electric and water if needed. Scott even offered his grill for dogs if needed. Thanks for the electric to allow some relief from this crazy heat.

We’re new to RV life & chose the lake for ease of parking & boy was that a great decision. The peacefulness & views were just what we dreamed we would experience with this lifestyle. Scott went out of his way to escort us to the freshly mowed lake site and our 2-night stay with 30amp electric was perfect…set up our firepit and enjoyed a great campfire overlooking at the lake & stargazing without ambient city lights. Drove to Redbird State Recreation Area for off-roading with our Jeep and geocached a bit in the area. We definitely will return. What a perfect stop!
