"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."
"Indian Lakes Campground is 10 minutes east of downtown Batesville, an hour to the east of Indianapolis and an hour to the west of Cincinnati."
"There are several fishing ponds and a lake with a beach area. There are 2 pools, and a golf course. Laundry facilities are decent, and there are plenty of machines."
"Batesville KOA is located within the Indian Lakes Campground, 10 minutes east of downtown Batesville, an hour to the east of Indianapolis and an hour to the west of Cincinnati."

"Mounds State Recreation Area located near Brookville Indiana is a beautiful location with camping for tents, trailers and motorhomes."
"Pros: quiet, close to Brookville, lots of trails nearby, nice swimming beach Cons: hard to get a site next to the playground - it's kinda out of the way."
"This campground is just 12 miles west of Greensburg, IN off I-74, and sits just outside of Lake Santee. (You must have property at the lake to utilize the lake and beaches)."
"The park is about 3000 acres with a beautiful sailing / fishing lake. There is a beautiful lodge and golf course, archery range, and plenty of hiking paths and equestrian paths."
"This place is off the beaten path by a lot, but it's so serene and beautiful. The non-electric site was almost all real primitive campers. There were tons of trees nearby for privacy and hammocking."
"Best Campground in Indiana"
"Staff is visible and seem to do a good job of maintaining order etc Road Noise: This campground is nicely nestled away from public roads. Through Traffic in campground: No issue."
"This little road is quite narrow, has some pretty tight turns with trees on both sides and in the night it’s hard to tell where the rear end of your camper is on the turns where there are trees close to"
"Close to a small town. And not to far from the Brookville lake. Cheap nightly rates."
$15 - $100 / night
"Whitewater Memorial State Park is located close to Liberty Indiana and is our favorite between the two major parks on Brookville Lake. It has water access to both Brookville and Whitewater lakes."
"Conveniently located just South of Liberty, Indiana. Access to the Brookville Lake. Playground available. Beach area available. Easy to reserve through the In.gov website. Many things to do."
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.
ScoutOk ok giving S an H credit where it is due- I retract my original review which was written while enduring abnormal and unusual Memorial Day/Race Day traffic and hype thaty everyone was on that came with the Holiday and the race.
Still being here after the dust settled and crowds have gone away the place is actually very quaint and comfortable. I would recommend this place as a 5 star camping option especially for any families Id just say of looking for peace and quiet DO NOT come on a holiday! Thank you Sand H for making my stay as good as you could I appreciate the effort and turned out to have enjoyed your site very much..Have a great season!
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.
TravelerNice spots, fairly flat overall, definitely aim for spots by lake for most spacious and views. Fishing and kayaking is it. Hosts were great. Site did have decent slope front to back. Facilities super clean.
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!
TravelerI love the furthest back spot here, it’s so quiet and the tree canopy is my favorite (there is no electricity at this site, but I don’t usually need it anyway).
ScoutVery clean, friendly staff and lots to do for the whole family!
ScoutIt’s cheap for a reason, if you plan on living here always record your conversations and keep a paper trail for paying your bills. A lot of people drink heavy here and can be very noisy and rowdy. You will get woken up by random gun shots early in the morning. Check your hookups before you pay!
