Nestled on 63 acres along the White River, the Landing at Redwing features an outdoor amphitheater, campgrounds, luxury bunkrooms, cabins, hiking trails, and The Lodge, a 150-seat banquet hall with a commercial kitchen.
In September 2022, Slayd and Corry Milhollin acquired the property, formerly known as Camp Redwing, for roughly $500,000. The Milhollins aimed to create a family-friendly space for the community to connect with nature and disconnect from the digital world. More than 4,000 attendees enjoyed camping, fireworks, and fresh air at the venue’s inaugural Independence Day Celebration and grand opening in July 2024.
The historic campground, which opened in 1925, was used by the Boy Scouts of America for 90 years.
“There is a feeling of peace once you’re on the property,” Corry Milhollin said. “We want the community to be able to relive and reminisce about their memories here while creating new ones.”
The Landing at Redwing is officially open for reservations, weddings, camping, hiking, and fishing.
The second annual Independence Day Celebration will take place Saturday, July 5, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. The free event will feature fireworks, camping, vendors, a kids’ zone, a car show, tournaments, food trucks, and live music performances by Jansen and Jerry Barker & The Onion Cutters.
Aaron Pohl, known as “Mr. Fourth of July,” said the Independence Day event at The Landing at Redwing boasts the largest and longest fireworks show in Delaware County. Pohl uses $25,000 worth of consumer-grade products to create what he calls “Muncie’s most underrated fireworks show.”
“I think it’s just male genetics, we all like blowing stuff up,” Pohl said. “I’m more than happy to be lighting up the sky for everybody.”
Before the fireworks show, the American flag will be raised while electric guitarist Brenner Romine performs “The National Anthem” live. Pohl described the introduction as “bone-chilling.”
Jami Whitehead, a local resident, said she loves creating memories with her family of five at The Landing at Redwing.
“You’re able to find that little piece of property within that acreage that makes you feel at home and safe,” Whitehead said. “The beautiful scenery is breathtaking.”
Tyler Parks, a former Delaware County sheriff’s deputy and assistant varsity softball coach at Wapahani High School, also praised the venue. Parks, who owns the nonprofit No Athlete Left Behind, coordinated a camp night for the Indiana Longhorns, a travel softball organization, at The Landing at Redwing. More than 80 attendees enjoyed smoked brisket, camping, hayrides, and games.
“The Landing at Redwing is, by far, the most off-the-beaten-path, quiet campground we’ve stayed at in Indiana,” Parks said.
The Milhollins have updated several facilities, including new roofs on The Ranger House, The Lodge, and all three picnic shelters. The Bunkhouse was remodeled into two suites and a bunkbed room. Slayd used wood from the original Boy Scout bunkbeds to create furnishings for the suites.
In 2023, a cement stage with a 200-seat capacity was installed, designed by Slayd with wide terraced steps. Honeysuckle was removed to create a backdrop and access to the White River from behind the stage.
Muncie residents Helen and Colin Ashby had their wedding ceremony at The Landing at Redwing on May 25. The ceremony and reception, attended by 170 family and friends, were held at The Lodge.
“Helen and I both love the outdoors,” Colin Ashby said. “The Landing at Redwing was just the perfect place for our wedding.”
The original first aid station was remodeled into a Bride’s Suite. The entire property can be reserved for weddings.
The Milhollins have preserved all nine primitive campsites on the property, including Twin Trees, Lone Cherry, and Butternut Hill. Other amenities include fishing along the White River, a playground, volleyball court, fire pits, and horseshoes.

The Milhollins are currently remodeling The Ranger House and plan to move onto the property by the end of the year. Interested in self-sufficient living, the couple plans to create a family compound with a vegetable farm and livestock.
