"Nice beach, trails and playground. Friendly camper. Pet friendly. Would've given 5 stars but our site was tight. Squeezed between 2 sites, out the front door fight to neighbors sewer hose."
"There’s a beach for swimming and a shower house. The RV sites are kinda cramped. We prefer the primitive sites on the other side of the lake. Literally just a picnic table and fire pit."

ScoutEach campsite has trees encircling them for mostly shade and a little more privacy. Only thing they could do is add more full hook up sites. Shower houses and restrooms are very well kept.
GuideNice quiet wooded campground. We were only here 1 night, but it was very enjoyable. Very large campground with shaded & sunny spots, mostly level, showers & bathrooms were clean, but no locks on the doors in women's & no doors in the men's, only curtains. Double lane dump station well laid out & good water pressure. We were here 2nd week in September on a Friday so it was not crowded, but I suspect during the summer it would be. The mosquitoes were bad so be prepared. All in all we would stay again.
GuideThe campground is convenient to the interstate but not close enough to be noisy & is a short drive to Evansville. It has well maintained restrooms & easily accessible sites around a big loop. It looks like it would be a great event camping spot.
GuideVery nice park with great trails and cute animals in the included petting zoo! I don’t have kids but there were a couple playgrounds I saw. The 2 downsides were I went second week of August and it was 93 degrees but they had just closed the beach area and pool so no swimming. I had taken my paddleboard but had not read all the rules and regulations and no Paddleboard’s are allowed on the lake because swimming outside the beach area is not allowed. I stayed at a primitive site in my van so even though it was crazy hot I still had a great spot by the water-109. Would recommend this park
TravelerLevel gravel sites, site 17 needs extra long electric cord, extremely well cared for park with helpful hosts. Very clean bathroom, shower and laundry facilities, decorated with homey touches. Firewood and ice available at campground. Some road and train noise, but park itself was quiet.
ScoutWe stayed in a tent for three nights and everything was great
GuideThe sites are large and level, the campground is new and well-kept. We ate at the restaurant and were impressed until we used the shower. The water was cold and lacked pressure. One of the worst I have ever taken. I understand that people who are lucky enough to have the big rigs don't need them. I can only surmise that people with little campers like ours are not as welcome. Otherwise, this is a very nice place.
ScoutNewer campground. Decent WIFi. Big campsites. It has a restaurant near the office that is open to the public. I like the business concept with the restaurant, its open to the public so it has enough business to stay open and have a decent menu, and it is within walking distance for the campers that don’t want to disconnect to go to dinner (great wings BTW).
GuideThis is the 3rd or 4th time. Usually last stop before home. 3pm on Saturday and not one staff on site when we arrived. Car on loop area making it hard to get trailer into site, just missing the car with my truck. No picnic table at site so unable to get grill out. 15-20 trailers resting on blocks and above ground dump at each site. Large propane tanks. Looks like permanent sites and most didn't have anyone there. A bit disappointed
Cabins near Boonville, Indiana offer diverse accommodations ranging from rustic to full-service lodging within a gently rolling landscape. The region sits at approximately 400 feet elevation with humid summers and mild, snow-dusted winters. Fall cabin rentals see high demand when temperatures dip to the 60s, creating comfortable conditions for outdoor activities. Sites like Miles Landing Campground provide woodland cabin settings with convenient interstate access.
Hiking trails with varying difficulty: Lincoln State Park features multiple trails ranging from easy to moderate with the longest extending 3.7 miles. "We've camped there as a large group and as a family several times. There's a beach for swimming and a shower house," notes one visitor at Scales Lake Park. The park maintains several miles of trails suitable for day hiking.
Mountain biking for multiple skill levels: Scales Lake offers dedicated mountain bike trails along with a pump track for kids. "Hiking, mountain bike trails along with pump track for kids, a small petting zoo, and a beautiful lake front for swimming with water slide and diving boards," reports a camper who enjoyed the variety of activities.
Fishing opportunities in stocked lakes: Fishing is available at most cabin locations, with species including crappie, bluegill and bass. "The fishing pond has a ton of fish in it. We caught crappie, bluegill, and a few smaller bass - but there are definitely some larger bass in there," according to one angler who visited Lake Rudolph Campground.
Cabin privacy levels vary by location: At Miles Landing Campground, cabins are spaced for comfort. "The sites were very spacious and far enough apart that you had room to spread out," notes a recent guest. This contrasts with more community-oriented layouts at other facilities.
Clean facilities receive consistent praise: Bathroom cleanliness stands out at many locations. "The bathrooms were probably the cleanest, nicest shower houses I've seen at a campground," remarks one visitor about Miles Landing. Similarly, at Harmonie State Park, campers appreciate "clean showers with hot water."
Swimming options beyond basic beaches: Many cabin locations provide enhanced swimming experiences. "A beautiful lake front for swimming with water slide and diving boards," mentions a reviewer at Scales Lake Park. Meanwhile, Harmonie State Park offers "an Olympic size pool open during summer-has water slide, diving boards, separate baby pool with shade awning, and concessions."
Seasonal closures affect amenities: Many cabin locations reduce services after Labor Day. "The camp store is in the pavilion by the beach & has limited hours after Labor Day," notes a visitor to Lake Lincoln. Water recreation areas typically close by early September.
Wildlife encounters are common: Prepare for local wildlife when staying in cabins. "Our only problem was 1 or more raccoons kept coming into our site. We shooed them away but they kept coming back," reports a camper at Harmonie State Park. Ticks are also prevalent in wooded areas.
Reservation timing matters for popular events: Halloween weekends see extremely high demand at cabin locations. "We missed reserving the weekend they have the campground trick or treating, which was the weekend before, but this was just as fun. Apparently that weekend has to be reserved the day reservations open for it," explains a visitor to John James Audubon State Park.
Kid-friendly attractions at multiple locations: Several parks offer unique children's amenities. "Two playgrounds, little petting zoo for kids. Beach area with small fee. Full hook up sites," notes a visitor about Scales Lake Park. Many cabin locations maintain playground equipment suitable for various age groups.
Educational opportunities worth planning around: Lincoln State Park provides historical learning experiences. "This park has the Lincoln boyhood memorial that is a must see," advises a camper. The surrounding area contains additional historical sites related to Abraham Lincoln's childhood.
Halloween events require advance planning: Fall camping with themed activities proves popular with families. At Diamond Lake Resort Campground, "We went to Lake Rudolph for their Halloweekends and it is a one of a kind experience. They have so many activities for the kids such as hayrides, a DJ, pumpkin carving, and so many other things throughout the day!"
Site spacing varies significantly: Review site maps before booking cabin accommodations. "Sites are very close together, so when the campsites are full you don't feel like you have much privacy or personal space," mentions a visitor to Scales Lake Park. Some locations offer more separation between units.
Driving conditions can be challenging: Roads leading to some cabin locations require careful navigation. "The streets in the town are extremely narrow, making it hard to get into the park," cautions a visitor about access to Scales Lake Park. Plan routes carefully, especially for larger vehicles.
Hookup quality inconsistent across locations: Electrical connections receive mixed reviews at certain facilities. "The only thing I wish that would have been better, is the electrical hookups could probably be updated," suggests a camper at Warrick County Park Scales Lake Park. Bring adapters and surge protectors for inconsistent power supplies.
