Are you looking to build a mud hut or something? Or just make fire?
Would cutting trees down cause issues in state parks?
There are hundreds of thousands of acres of state and federal land south of Indy where you could get away from everyone. You just have to be willing to put in the effort to get off the beaten path.
German ridge area leave the trails and find a area then you can run around all “Bear style”
Hoosier National Forest has some very secluded parts that sound like they would fit the bill, especially now that firearms deer season is over.

Squirrel season is in.
I live on land next to the HNF, it's rare when you see people. Right now until turkey/mushroom season you won't see anybody and there's no tick problem.
Charles Deam Wilderness. South side of Monroe Res. Lots of land to roam and " get lost "
This area is covered up with hunters until deer season is over. Forget about going here unless you dress up like a pumpkin and like various mag dumps from all directions. It is not big enough to get away from the hunters either.Look up Rattlesnake Campground. It has a one holer with no water or electric. Have to drive through the creek to get there.
