The Overnight Adventure In Indiana That Will Take You Back In Time

By Elizabeth Crozier | Published May 31, 2018

Before houses, cottages, shacks, or any other old type of housing, there were people on this land who sheltered in cone-shaped tents designed to allow fires within. Most commonly used by the Plains Indians in North America, the experience of tipi camping is rare today, but there’s a ranch in Indiana that gives Hoosiers that historic opportunity.

This adventure is about so much more than camping. Keep scrolling to see what all this place has in store.

Relive the Old West at Rawhide Ranch USA. Complete with horses, uncharted territory, and rustic living, this unforgettable place offers multiple overnight stay options and outdoor activities that you don't want to miss.

The current owners of the ranch bought it in 2001 and have constantly added more and more new attractions. Rawhide has become a beautiful place for country-style weddings and business retreats due to its 54 lovely acres of woods.
