eXplore Brown County

6 ReviewsAdd Review

eXplore Brown County sits on 300 acres roughly five miles northwest of Nashville, Indiana, combining traditional camping with adventure activities. The property features both RV sites with full hookups for rigs up to 36 feet and tent areas positioned near a pond, separated from the main activity zones.

The campground operates as an adventure destination with zip lines, paintball fields, and ATV trails alongside standard camping amenities. Ella L. notes that "the tent area is on the opposite side of the grounds, by the pond so no matter how many people are in the cabins/paintballing you can't see them or hear them." Sites vary in privacy and spacing, with most areas shaded by mature trees. The pond serves as a focal point for the tent camping section, though reviews describe it more as a large pond than a true lake.

Noise levels fluctuate significantly based on group bookings and weekend activities. Several campers report early morning disturbances and late-night activity, particularly during busy periods. The facility maintains clean restrooms and shower facilities, with staff receiving positive mentions for helpfulness. Firewood stays dry in covered storage.

The location provides access to Brown County's attractions, sitting about 15 minutes from downtown Nashville's shops and restaurants. For families with active children or groups seeking organized activities, the on-site adventure elements add appeal beyond basic camping amenities.

Pa-Pa-Pa-papapa Party all the time

This is the campground for bringing your battery powered hammock string lights and bluetooth speakers to play Glass Animals or Boy Harsher at a reasonable volume. 

We were looking for a quite night away and, without doing any research, booked a tent site close to the pond here. Upon arriving, laughter ensued, when we heard the music and saw the zip lines and paint ball facilities. 

We still had a fun night as the bulk of the visitors seemed to be a very large group staying in two cabins. The tent area is on the opposite side of the grounds, by the pond so no matter how many people are in the cabins/paintballing you can't see them or hear them. 

The folks working in the registration building were AMAZING. Facilities were clean and worked as they should. Firewood is super dry/stored in a shed. 

This would be a rad place to take your kids/teens or if you're into more of a festival camping atmosphere (sites are spaced out though, you're not on top of each other) this would be the perfect place. 

If you are looking to be away from people walking to their sites/the pond/trails and you want quiet... this is not the place, from my experience. 

I'd probably take my nieces and nephews here for the first camping experience though!

Great Family or Solo Trip

Great camp! Covered with trees with great spots near the creek. Great prices on cabins and campers. Playground for the kiddos was a plus for us. Nice bathroom and shower facilities.

Lots of fun!

I’ve been zipping here twice and enjoyed both encounters. About three years transpired between visits and they have added a lot of new features since my original visit. I haven’t stayed here but they ha e some interesting retro campers set up for rent. The zip lines are the big attraction for me!

A little run down

If I could give this 3.5 stars that would be more appropriate. Some camps sites were nice and spacious others had no privacy. Most of the campground is shaded though. Some staff were good others just okay. The ATV and ropes course on site were excellent! The free bike trails were hard to find. The “lake” was really more like a large pond. Lots of trails and spaces to explore but many of the amenities were run down. About 15 minutes to drive down to downtown Nashville.

The campground that never sleeps

The campground itself was decent but it was very noisy the holiday weekend I stayed. People were chopping wood at 4:30am one night. Late night partying and music followed up with early rising children riding bikes and talking loudly. All sites are very close to the main road. The tent site I had wasn’t very level. There is a lot to do here though and would be a great place to bring groups of kids and teens. They have zip lines, paintball, bike trails,etc

It's got everything!

Full hook-up or water and electric sites, sites are level. Tent sites available. This place has zip-lining, paintball, arrow tag, ATVs, off-road tours, mountain biking, hiking, cabins. It's near Nashville, IN's quaint shops, music venues, Stoney Lonesome, Gnaw Bone, and, of course, beautiful Brown County State Park.

(Four stars because we stayed there during a wedding and the music and traffic from the wedding was a bit intrusive; also, because when we arrived at our campsite we had to ask management to remove a squatter, so the site was not clean).
