Great 1st experience

This was my first time at a campsite, so I don't have other sites to compare to. Overall, my experience was great. Clean area with lots of amenities. They stack free firewood at your campsite to burn. I'm military, so the gunfire, canon fire, and helicopters didn't bother me at all. Those things don't happen all the time though.

Nice ‘quiet’ place

If you don’t mind gunfire 24/7 this is the best place ever. No issues with me or my Service Dog.

Keep looking

The area around here is pretty barren. Not much in the way of resources. Not a lovely area - in the middle of a military base community.

Not accommodating

We stayed one night, but we had to move to another campground because there are literally only two available campsites. The other spots are filled with people who are living there permanently.

The area is functional rather than scenic, serving primarily those with military connections or specific reasons to be near the base.

What RV accommodations are available at Camp Atterbury?

RV campers should be prepared for a military installation environment with regular gunfire and training activities occurring 24/7. Basic amenities are provided, including complimentary firewood stacked at each campsite. Due to the extremely limited availability, advance reservations are strongly recommended before planning your trip.

What lodging options are available at Camp Atterbury besides camping?

While specific cabin information isn't detailed, the camp does provide clean areas with various amenities. Alternative lodging might be available in nearby Edinburgh or surrounding communities. For current information on any non-camping accommodations that might be available on base, contact Camp Atterbury directly before planning your stay.
