"Older Indiana State Park just West of Indiana / Ohio state line South of IH-74. Roads tight and only 1 dump station for 70+ sites (most site are water electric only)"
"This is a great southern Indiana State Park with easy access from US 50."
"It sat at one end of our site but right up against the site next to us, so trying to sit around a campfire would have been a little awkward. There wasn't any shade on the pull thru sites."
"There are showers, an awesome library, a store, laundry and walking trails"
"Friendly location and the grounds are supervised so quiet in the evenings."
"It was a great weekend all around and we enjoyed our stay."
"Lake nearby with boat rentals and paved bike paths. Good family environment. Beware of sneaky raccoons. River access down path behind lot 129."
"Beautiful park has a lake with kayaking/canoe/rowboat/paddle boat rentals and a few pontoon boats for rent but is otherwise just for non-motorized boats. good fishing both from the rental rowboats and"
"The store was super close by and there you are not too far from the nearest town. Super beautiful and spacious especially since you’re close to the river as well!"
"Nice pull through close to the pool and bathrooms. Quiet during the week."
"Tent/RV sites were level and had lots of Shade and trees for Hammocks. 1.7 mile paved walking trail is great for walking, running and biking. A short 18 hole Disc Golf course is close by."
"The location is located on the lake with access to put in a kayak or canoe. The bathrooms are clean, with private combined shower/dressing stalls."
"This is an awesome quiet campground tucked away in northern KY along the Ohio River. There are 10-12 dispersed campsites with fire rings and picnic tables."
"The main road was nice to drive on, but the others were pretty rough. Had spots for hammocks, and the portopotty was well maintained. The spots were all pretty secluded. Great remote location!"

"What a wonderful experience, Teri and Mike have a beautiful area tucked away in Northern KY. Plenty of space between campsites! We stayed at Henry's Holler. It's a 4x4 only site."
TravelerVery quiet campground in a beautiful place surrounded by trees very friendly personal. Not far from the Ark endounter
ScoutNice quiet spot with trails and shade!
ScoutFacilities are good, the buffalo are fun to watch, most camping spots are paved.
ScoutVery friendly staff. The bathrooms having regular working toilets and showers. The bathrooms are very nice. There is a pool, volleyball courts and a dog park. It is hot in June, so bring a canopy if your RV doesn’t have one.
ScoutWe didn't let the rainy Kentucky weather disrupt our weekend getaway! We stayed warm and dry inside Page's cabin. Uphill trails are spectacular, with plenty of pet friendly areas.
TravelerWe camped 2 nights and 3 days here. The campground was pretty nice. We had a non-electric site (159). It had extra space and was next to the bathhouse. There were some trees there that my kids could put up their hammocks during the day. Nice and level and had a large tree there as well. Was also right next to the camp host site, if that's something that's important to you.
The bathhouse was really, really nice. Very clean and spacious. However, there was no hot water. I think this was just a fluke, the camp host said they had just had issues with the hot water heater. We just walked to another bathhouse for a hot shower (those weren't as nice but, hot water so...).
The park itself is just okay. The Trail 7 hike was a little disappointing. You could see the falls but not super well. It's one that you need to do to see the falls but not my favorite hike there. The best hike, in my opinion, was Trail 6 to 5, then down to 2, and back up to 5, finishing on Trail 4 at Hoffman Falls. Lots to see on that hike and not very crowded.
TravelerWhat a wonderful experience, Teri and Mike have a beautiful area tucked away in Northern KY. Plenty of space between campsites! We stayed at Henry's Holler. It's a 4x4 only site. There is a steep hill that you may need 4wd to get up. That being said there are a few more spots to reserve that this is not a requirement. It is so peaceful here. You would never know you were so close to busy areas. Rabbit hash is right down the road as well as Lawerenceburg Indiana. Just a short distance is also Big Bone Lick State Park. If you just want to get away this is the spot for you. The log cabin on site is so cool. Plenty of walking can be done as you meander along some easy trails.
The "outhouse" on site is cute. It is the only bathroom on property. Well stocked and not your typical "outhouse". '. It's adorable. You will have to see it to appreciate it. This is a great alternative to camping at a campground. Note: there is no electric or water. Also pack out what you pack in. You will be greeted with a "welcome" kit that includes a citronella candle, some paper and fire starting accessories. Firewood is available for purchase by the barn. I will definitely be back! Teri communicates very well to make sure all is going well. Don't be afraid to explore this great slice of heaven.
ScoutDespite the rain and the wind we had a great time! Our spot was right next to a small Pollinator trail that lead to the water. My little ones had a blast riding their scooters around the round about. The restrooms are a quick walk and very clean. The showers and park are a small walk but also super nice. There’s a few trails at the entrance to the campground and a canoe/kayak launch a few minutes drive from the entrance. Great little spot and can’t wait to come back!
TravelerIn the primitive camping the bathrooms are just outhouses, but I had so much fun here! I used to come to their beach all the time as a kid, so this trip was so nostalgic to me! It poured rain but despite that I had a great time hiking the trails and visiting the nature center!
