Nice, quite, and relaxing stay. Fire rings need to be upgraded. They were small and rusted out.

Jennifer N.ScoutHoosier National Forest South Slope Loop Campground
Great sites
Each 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.

Spur of the moment stop for the day and I’m glad we did! Friendly, quick and easy check-in. Despite there being long term RV’ers here it is clean and well maintained. And full hookups at a great price…if you’re in the area and need to rest…make sure you stop here!

Perfect Spot!
Right off the interstate and super easy to pull in. Very friendly staff!
Tina L S.TravelerGrandma's RV Park
A NICE PLACE!
I really enjoyed my stay here! It's quiet but not too quiet if ya know what I mean. The bathrooms and laundry room are always clean, if something breaks they make it right and it's close to almost everything! Very understanding people with the exception of 1 (which I felt like he didn't like me from the jump) but it's ok. Gina (my fav) and Darlene made up for it. Tim was nice, just quiet! Great bunch of people! So go check it out and tell them Tina said hi 😉
