GuideSites are well spaced. Clean, professional state park. Lake is being drained, so no beach until 2026.

GuideI am actually going to say if the beach was open I wouldn't have a bad thing to say. Other than that beautiful park, friendly staff, and clean shower houses.
GuideSo much to do with the kids, from swimming in the creek, fishing, campfires, s'mores, fresh black topped roads, and such friendly staff. Clean bathrooms and showers, and beautiful places to visit also. Tons of playgrounds too spread throughout the campground.
TravelerThis campsite is beautiful. We rolled in for the night in the return leg of an epic roadtrip. The site looked out on the small lake. It was level and required no adjustments. The bathrooms are dated but very clean. Overall, this was a great spot.
ScoutBig spot for almost any type of camper. Deep woods
ScoutThe campground was really nice and relatively quiet. The staff was fairly nice, and even helped us out with a bit of a Karen camper. The sites have an asphalt pad that are mostly level. 50,30,20 amp service in one box. There was no water at the site though. Throughout the campground are potable water spigots that you can hook up to and add water to your tank. There is also no sewer hookup at the site which I assumed was wrong, because I have never been to an Indiana state park with sewer hookup on site. The campground is at the back of the park so you do have about a 5 minute drive to get to the main highway. Plenty to explore around the area
ScoutThe entire park is just beautiful. It's very family friendly and quiet. The sites are spacious, and there are a lot of nature things to do.
