Vanderburgh 4H Campground

5 Reviews Add Review

Vanderburgh 4H Campground operates year-round on county-managed grounds in Evansville, offering full hookup sites that accommodate RVs up to 80 feet. The campground features level pull-through sites with full hookups, including electric, water, and sewer connections. Sites provide afternoon shade and feel more spacious than their actual footprint suggests, according to regular visitors.

The facility includes clean bathhouses with showers, a laundry room, and a dump station for added convenience. Campers can access WiFi throughout the grounds. A small pond provides views from the main RV area, and walking trails offer space for pets to exercise. The campground maintains both full hookup sites and 30-amp options in the back area near a World War II bunker remnant.

Robert O. notes the "level pull through FHU clean nice afternoon shade" that keeps him returning for multiple stays. The groundskeeping receives consistent praise from visitors, and the camp host maintains strong communication with guests. While the setting resembles fairgrounds more than a traditional campground, the layout provides adequate walking space and lake views.

Reservations are available for this pet-friendly facility. Campers can find additional overnight options at campgrounds near Highland for exploring the broader region.

Fantastic

Was looking for a quiet area, and not some drive-through campsite, this fit the bill. Great groundskeepers, good trail for dogs, nice view of the pond from the main RV area, has decent showers and laundry room, and plenty of entertainment close by. If you don’t need full hookups, they have 30a’s in back and by an old ww2 bunker.

Great Little Jem of a Park

This is a nice little park with all of the basics and no frills. The sites are level. The connections are easy to access The bathhouses are clean and well maintained.

The bonus for me is that the camp host/manager did a great job of communicating with me.
