Very secluded and relaxing.
Bald eagle nest brings in an awesome views of wildlife.
River access and was a let to get our boat in (small John boat). However, the river is very shallow and tons of rocks. It makes it difficult for anything with a motor unless you are very familiar with the river. Great fishing.
Awesome for a dog and there is plenty of room for the whole crew.
10/10

Campsite was not bad. However, very different than advertised. It is located on a farm property and backs up to a pond, not Tippecanoe River. Would have appreciated more information going into it. Our experience was fine but we definitely expected to sleep to the sound of a river outside our tent and watch the river. Simply wasn’t the case.

This was our second time camping here. It is a wonderful place to camp, but unfortunately at 6:30 in the morning we were awakened by 2 vehicle’s with trailers and boats they decided to launch their boats right next to our camper. Even though the owner did apologize, we decided to leave early. It was definitely not the experience we were hoping for.

Loved tent camping at Sycamore Springs! The spot is right next to the Tippecanoe River. There is a gravel parking pad, a fire pit area with inlaid stones, light tree coverage, a place to put kayaks into the river, and mostly level ground for a tent. There were lots of birds and wildlife. A raccoon and other critters visited us at night, so be sure to secure trash and food.

Allen’s campsite is perfect. Listening to the river flow is super relaxing. Not a single bad thing to say. There’s a bald eagle nest by the campground, which is pretty cool. Watching them fly around was majestic. 100% recommend this spot.

Had a fabulous time at our location. I was there to film for my Outdoors Unsupervised channel with a friend and will be back in the warmer weather to enjoy the fishin'. We were there for cold campin' and cooked some amazin' meals over the fire while watchin' geese, bald head eagles, wood peckers, crans and more. I'd highly recommend this quiet retreat in a heartbeat.
Allen the property owner was very fast at replyin' to my messages and I thank him for answerin' all my questions I had to feel comfortable about bookin' at this location.

LOVED Sycamore Springs! Allen has a true hidden gem. He cares for his land and it shows! The river campsite we stayed on was clean and all alone. not having water or a toilet was not a problem at all. We saw so many stars and lucky enough to see a meteor shower! The river was beautiful and amazing to wake up too. There is plenty of wildlife to see and hear. We saw Bald Eagles, Blue Herons many other birds, otters, and lots of fish jumping out of the water. We tried to fish but the river is to shallow. We only caught some suckers. Some other people (on a kayak) caught a small mouth bass. Curing the day there will be a lot of kayakers and boats cruising down the river and able to see your campsite but everyone is nice and don't stay long. The animals are loud at night and are not scared to come up to your tent. We had what I believe to be a raccoon sniff around out tent each night but we just scared it away and it wouldn't return. We did hear a small pack of coyotes behind the woods from us. So, to make sure put away all your food in a sealed bin or in your car at night. There is one small area that is level and soft for tents. We loved sitting on the bank watching the birds fly around.There is a general store 5 mins down the road with camping essentials if need be. Allen is super nice and quick to respond to our questions. Cell phone reception is spotty, go to the field or by the river for service but we didn't care. We will be returning again.

This campsite was amazing! The river is gorgeous and full of so many birds. It is very spacious and there is a nice firepit and picnic table. The check-in and check-out times are reversed on their page, just FYI, but they accommodated us anyways. I would definitely stay here again!

This was my second time staying here, and once again it was amazing. Was able to do some fishing in the river and had a beautiful night camping. The hosts are always so kind and responsive. I plan on coming back here in the future time and time again. Would definitely recommend for a quiet peaceful stay in nature.

Allen’s land was perfect! Everything you want in a campsite: easy to find and get to, secluded, quiet, and access to the river. Spacious area as well. Host checked on us to make sure everything was going well. We enjoyed watching all the kayakers and tubers pass by the campsite. Lots of wildlife; we had two deer walk up to the campsite before my dogs scared them off—and we could hear a lot of animals at night. Definitely would like to come again!

My girlfriend and I loved this property. This is a private camp site with amazing views of the river. Allen the owner was so accommodating and nice He took us up river to kayak from the Dam back to our camp. It was so amazing we did it twice. I would definitely recommend this place.

Exactly what we were looking for. The pictures do not do the site justice. Stunning views, tons of animals to see, and most importantly, we felt secluded. My family and I were looking for a site where we could unplug and just relax. 100% would visit again.

River No electric or water
my family of 4 with 2 dogs camped at Allen's property last weekend to get in a final camping trip of the season while being close enough to attend the OSU/Purdue football game. We stayed in a 19ft travel trailer and a large tent. Even though it was a low in the 40's and raining most of the time, we had a wonderful time staying there. the property on the river is beautiful and peaceful. i saw deer, an Egret fishing, and heard Coyotes late at night. Allen is a gracious host who's willing to help with anything we needed. When we discovered we had a dead car battery, Allen was going to send someone out to jump us. We were finally able to get it started before help was sent out, but the offer was very much appreciated. i recommend this beautiful property and would love to return in the future.

Allen's spot is everything the other reviews have advertised and more! 10/10, absolutely will come back again. A few personal highlights from my experience:
Direct access to the Tippecanoe river - tent set up within four feet of the river bank.
Private - closest neighbors separated by dense forests.
Easy to find and access - directions are a breeze and you can drive directly into the site.
Far enough away to feel completely in the wilderness while only being 15 minutes away from Walmart, gas stations, restaurants, etc. in case you forgot anything.

We loved tent camping here. Right on the water! Water levels were low enough the kids could safely wade in. They loved looking at the shells.
This was such a gorgeous property. My favorite part was the field of native plants and wildflowers.
It's increasingly rare in this world.

This secluded campsite on the Tippecano River is the best medicine for nature lovers. Quiet and peaceful, blue herons, bald eagles and plenty of deer and wildlife abound. You can kayak or float tubes right into the campsite from the Oakdale dam. A field is the only neighbor you have in this little slice of heaven!

Amazing camp site and property. Allen and Patty are the best and offer a little slice of paradise with their campsite on the river and their beautiful farm! We will be back for sure!

The riverside campsite is ideal. It's private, secluded, spacious & somewhat level. The beautiful, wide river has a strong but manageable current. We didn't get too far upstream in our inflatable Kayak but the float back to camp was lovely. Bring your water shoes and enjoy! I imagine it's good fishing. Allen is a friendly, laid back guy host who communicates well. It's a premium price to pay for camping but sitting on the river bed, without any restrictions or noisy neighbors, makes it worth it. A caveat: with no toilet available, this site is for people who know how to handle their business properly & respectfully. The location is very accessibility. It's easy enough to run out for supplies if needed. the country store is very close and Walmart & Rural King are only 15 mins to the north.

My family has a perfect time camping on Allen's land. He and Patti were excellent hosts and the site was so nice. It's right on the Tippecanoe River and very private. We loved it and will definitely be back.

We have visited several Hipcamp hosts and each has been very good, but this is our favorite so far! The hosts are hospitality and friendly, the site is clean and well kept, and we enjoyed camping right on the river. We watched turtles and water fowl, and had a Sunday morning visit from a friendly raccoon. Hosts have a farm stand, although we returned from our Saturday excursion after they closed. We plan to return and bring our canoe!
