Great campground 

Mounds State Recreation Area located near Brookville Indiana is a beautiful location with camping for tents, trailers and motorhomes. There’s plenty of outdoor recreation available with trails and water access to Brookville Lake. About a dozen of the campsites have full hookups with 50amp power, water and sewer. These sites are big rig friendly. When booking online be cautious of site grade as many of the sites in the original loops have a moderate grade and are uneasy for motorhomes to level. The camp store has both ice and firewood available as well as souvenirs and snacks. Be cautious when making reservations as there is also a similar park with the same name located in northern Indiana.

Beautiful trails and Lake access

The lake was gorgeous! The campground....not so much. You could tell it was an SRA and not a state park. Trails were decent. Some of them were a bit overgrown. 

Just a check mark

Plenty of good camping spots. Bathrooms were average. Huge lake if you want to do any water activities. 

Beautiful Lake

We enjoyed our first trip to Brookville Lake.  The camping area only provides a few areas with complete hookups. The area that we were in all the sites are on a slope which required a little extra setup than normal. The restroom/bath houses could use a total updating. They are a little rough and dirty. 
Don’t let this stop you from visiting, the lake is great and there is plenty to do. 

Fun place! But…

The campground and area is nice.  The campers are pretty much all about the water activities.  The big lake is nice and long with multiple no wake areas. There are a couple of beach areas.  The camp bathrooms are concrete block and pretty clean but old and need updates. Great shower pressure!   The camp sites are pretty far apart at least twice as far as in private campgrounds and so have ample room even for our two good sized dogs. The sites are black topped but narrow and short. More problematic is that most have slopes. A few too steep to level a trailer.  There were more tent campers than trailer campers when we were there. Oddly the roads were one way but all of the sites were at 90 degrees from the narrow road making it difficult to back in.  I did not see any pull through sites. Almost all have 30 amp electric but saw no water or sewer hook ups. Maybe half of the sites had any shade. There were just a few trails and those were pretty overgrown in July.   No animal problems even though they had open trash bins.  All had iron fire pits but many were old.  We had noise problems the first night even though security was supposed to patrol till 2:00 am.  We saw three newer playgrounds although those were a little outside of the camping areas and without any shade or bathrooms. Plenty of bathhouses with a few pit toilets around. 

Nice but bathrooms need updated

We booked 5 days before and were pleasantly surprised at how good of a site we had. Pretty level, plenty of room for our 43’ fifth wheel. We didn’t swim but the beach looked nice. We did fish a little.
