Hoosier National Forest Jackpine Loop Campground

We researched and though a fair bit of the forest was first come first serve. After stopping at many along the way we wound up here at Jackpine snagging up the last site electric site available. The fees were a bit more than listed as well 28.00 per night or 18.00 for seniors / interagency pass holders. I assume the info we found multiple place including from here is just outdated.

We've been camping here for 15 years. It's our favorite place. Sites are large and private, with trees and greenery between most all sites. Bathrooms are super clean and automated. Showers are individual showers with their own dressing area. Even when the campground is full, you don't feel like there are a lot of people. Very spacious. Wildlife is everywhere, as it is not unusual to have a Momma deer and her little one walk through the woods by your campsite or down by the boat launc, often followed by a turkey or two. There's another area called catbriar for the bigger rigs. The beach has a play are for children right on the beach which makes it ideal for parents. A very nice and we'll taken care of park.
