Lake Waveland Park

Nice clean park in west-central Indiana that has a lake and a large number of camping sites along with restrooms and showers.  The primitive tent camping sites don't require reservations, and each have a picnic table.  There are modern campsites that have water and electrical hook-ups, and there are some small cabins that can be rented.  The bath house was clean, and the grounds crew does a great job keeping the grass cut.  Camp sites seem more spread out here compared to most state parks.  Location is fairly close to Sugar Creek and other parks such as Turkey Run and Shades State Park.   The lake is popular for fishing. 

Waveland Lake and Park, near Waveland, Indiana

The primitive sites are very secluded and quite but get there fast because spots are first come first serve! The staff is very friendly and helpful! The campground is located within close proximity of both Turkey Run and Shades State Park. 

Love it here!

Small but peaceful campground. Well worth the time spent here. 

Down to Earth

There are dozens of sites here, drive past the shower house where road bends to the left and down hill. The sites aren’t marked, but are indicated by picnic table and fire ring, though fire rings are not always present. Huge area is reasonably well mowed. This is a lovely space with lots of birds to observe.  Not fancy, some updating of infrastructure is due. I would keep this on list as decent stop.
