      Friends O' Mine Campground & Cabins

      ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our First RV Home Has Been Such a Blessing!

      My husband and I absolutely loved our first few months here at Friends O' Mine Campgrounds & Cabins as first-time RV owners with our Class A RV.

      We downsized from our 5-bedroom home in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri. We sold our home and I followed my Husband back here to Indiana after he received a wonderful career opportunity. My Husband is a Veteran, 🇺🇸 and after moving to Nashville, Indiana, we had immediately fallen in love with this small town - where we respected and admired the way Nashville reminds us of where we had just moved from in Missouri.

      We stayed at Grand Wood Suites for six months, after paying for a hotel, all while continuously paying for our two large storage units, as well as our mortgage payment and then rent for most of the beginning of this year; so, we decided to downsize to save money to buy land sooner, instead of continuing to rent. 🏕️ We already loved camping - we started with a pop-up camper on the 🔝 of our Jeep and camped dozens of times, then traded up to a pop-up camper. So we used what we had in savings, bought our Class A RV, donated our pop-up camper, and came to Friends O' Mine - and it was the best decision!

      From day one, the other campers have been so friendly, as are the nice employees and amazing owners. They truly make you feel like family. They set up weekly entertainment that brings the whole campground together around the campfire - there is a huge fire in the middle with six porch swings attached to a massive gazebo and veranda surrounding it. It's incredibly cozy and just inviting you to join in.

      We've enjoyed live musical singers entertaining us around the campfire all evening, and we were invited to watch a documentary about a local racecar driver in their indoor recreational room, right next to the indoor laundry facilities.

      There is also a subterranean pool that my Husband and I enjoyed swimming in almost every day during our first month here - it was very relaxing and refreshing!

      One of our favorite parts has been our peaceful, nighttime walks around the large, well-stocked catch-and-release pond. My Husband and I hold hands together and walk around it at sunset almost every evening. It's so serene and calming to hear the sounds of the water and feel the beautiful Autumn breeze.

      This has been a very relaxing, enjoyable, and heartwarming experience for us. If you are looking for a clean, friendly, peaceful, and welcoming place to stay - whether for a weekend or for a season - we cannot recommend Friends O' Mine Campgrounds & Cabins enough. We are so grateful we found it!

      Buffalo Ridge Campground — Brown County State Park

      We absolutely LOVED this park! It was hands down our favorite of this year. We camped at site 100 and it has a neighbor on one side and behind while the other side was a huge open space. It is in the center of a loop. It was mostly level. There was some minor doming to the site but not bad at all. It was a busy camp ground but not as crowded (sites not on top of each other) as some I’ve been in. The outsides of the loops did have more space between and privacy but could be smaller or more sloped, it just really depended. The bathrooms and showers were cleaner than some of the other state parks we have been to, so much so my 11 year old son mentioned it. The park itself is absolutely gorgeous. The hiking trails (which is what we usually go for) were nice but I believe that the biking trails were actually more scenic than the hiking trails and a lot more rugged. We liked trail 8 starting from the west lookout tower and stopping at Hesitation Point for lunch/break/bathroom. Trail 6 was also a pretty, rugged, shorter trail. The Nature Center was also nicer than a lot of the others we have been to in the state. We did choose to do horseback riding at the stables. We showed up about 5 minutes after opening and were able to pay and told to come back in an hour and 45 minutes. That didn’t bother us since we had the time but if you are on a tighter schedule, the earlier the better. We also went into Nashville and it was a very cute town to visit. Well decorated for Halloween, very walkable, and a little something for almost everyone. Prices were about what I would expect for a tourist town but not terrible. I also have T-Mobile and had pretty good service almost everywhere in the park.

      Bill Monroe Memorial Music Park & Campground

      Fun Event Location

      We stayed for the weekend during a Campout event. Lots of fun seeing all of our camping buddies. I don’t think we would camp here otherwise as it isn’t really our type of camping. Sites are close together, so don’t expect privacy. Porta potties had not been serviced from their previous event… needless to say, it was foul. The country music museum was pretty cool. The guide was very knowledgeable!

      Shades State Park Campground

      Nice, but….

      Nice halfway point for our road trip to Door County. We stayed here the week after Labor Day. Not sure if park staff had enough time to clean the grounds after the busy holiday weekend… There was a disappointing amount of litter at our site. We had remove the various cans, plastic bottles and ice pack out of our fire ring and the surrounding wooded area was full of more of the same including a full trash bag of garbage. And speaking of full… the pit toilets…There’s a $15 out of state fee above the $25 p/night charge. There’s only one shower for the park so be prepared. The amount of gnats and mosquitoes had us running for cover. The staff we encountered here, we’re cordial and friendly.

      Camp Atterbury Campground

      Host is great, park is nice, MWR needs help

      Great place to stay. Full hook ups, about 90 percent level sites. 33 RV sites and 3 or 4 primitive camp sites. The main bathhouse is pretty clean, included laundry, and a great host and hostess (Mark and Denise). The only bad is the price hikes here. One would think MWR would throw money towards some things...like a dog park, some leveling, lights at the kids playground, and MWR sponsored and paid for holiday parties/outings for vets, retirees, and all the active here on base. But nope, just collecting revenue without any beanies. Anyway, the host keeps it grounded.

      Cecil M Harden Lake Raccoon State Recreation Area

      Site 293, Raccoon Lake (Cecil M. Harden Lake), IN

      50A service, no water or sewer at the site. Fill your fresh tank on the way in. There’s a dump station on the property, so emptying on the way out is easy.

      Site is mostly level with partial shade. The approach is the one thing to watch: 293 isn’t angled off the road, so it’s a tighter back-in than most. We’re towing a 33’ Airstream Classic and made it first try with no issues, so bigger rigs can absolutely get in here. Just take it slow. Once parked, there’s plenty of room, and the spacing between sites is better than most state park campgrounds we’ve stayed in. Bathhouse is only a few sites down.

      Cell signal ran about 2 bars. We’re on Starlink so it didn’t matter, but plan accordingly if you work from the road.

      Park staff are the highlight. Stephanie checked us in and could not have been more accommodating. Friendly, quick, genuinely helpful.

      3-Point Lake Campgrounds

      Very nice campground.

      The staff here is very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Each site has water hookups as well as a firepit, electric and sewage. There is a laundry room with a small library, bath house, and a nice short trail, with a game of horseshoes. Unfortunately no more swimming or kayaking in the lake but there are other parks in the area to do so. Very peaceful back in the woods, would definitely stay here again!

    Guide to Brownsburg

    Cabin camping near Brownsburg offers options within a 30-mile radius, providing year-round access for outdoor enthusiasts. Most locations experience four distinct seasons with summer temperatures regularly exceeding 85°F from June through August. Winter camping requires preparation for temperatures that can drop below freezing, particularly from December through February.

    What to Do

    Hiking trails: Turkey Run State Park Campground features challenging terrain about 35 miles west of Brownsburg. "Turkey Run State Park is a huge campground (over 200 sites) just north of Terre Haute. There are lots of trails that offers hikers plenty of opportunities. Sugar Creek runs through the park for fishing and canoeing. The suspension footbridge across Sugar Creek is cool," notes Joel R.

    Water recreation: Summer visitors can take advantage of boating and swimming at Cecil M Harden Lake Raccoon State Recreation Area. "I loved this camp ground, there was a beach which was nice and a building to get food. They have a basketball court, and a few trails. We stayed Thurs thru Sunday and had a very nice time," shares Staci J.

    Archery practice: Some dog friendly camping areas near Brownsburg feature specialized recreational facilities. "We love camping here! Lots to do. Love the archery range," writes Nicole B. about Raccoon Lake, making it suitable for visitors wanting to practice target shooting during their stay.

    What Campers Like

    Level sites: White River Campground receives consistent praise for its well-maintained grounds. "The sites are spacious, the water, sewer, and electric are good. All sites are paved, grounds are great to walk, campground people are nice," explains Kristen S.

    Peaceful atmosphere: For campers seeking quieter pet-accommodating options near Brownsburg, Shades State Park provides an alternative to busier locations. "Much less popular than Turkey Run this state park is great for hiking! Many trails lead to gorgeous rocky cliffs, the river and a gorgeous waterfall. Love that it's much less populated giving you are your crew more space and less noise," says Sarah S.

    Clean facilities: Turkey Run State Park Campground maintains high standards for its amenities. "The bathrooms were super clean and the showers were hot with good water pressure," reports Samantha S., highlighting an important consideration for those camping with pets who need regular cleanup.

    What You Should Know

    Site selection matters: At Turkey Run, site location significantly impacts the camping experience. "We were in a wooded section and it was pretty private however our site was pretty sloped. Next time I would probably pick the site on either side of 167," advises Samantha S., adding "the open, grassy area sites don't offer any privacy. If that's what you're looking for, try to get a wooded site on the outsides that back up to woods."

    Wildlife awareness: Several pet-friendly campgrounds near Brownsburg have active wildlife. "Watch out for the raccoons. Those guys are not afraid of anything," warns Samantha S. about Turkey Run, making proper food storage essential when camping with dogs.

    Limited services: Shades State Park Campground offers a more rustic experience. "This a great primitive campground. It is a short distance from Turkey Run SP if you are looking of a modern campground experience," notes Keith M., making it suitable for campers seeking fewer amenities but more seclusion.

    Tips for Camping with Families

    Water features: Indianapolis KOA provides specific amenities for families with children. "The pool is delightful especially for littles who will enjoy the fountains and big pouring bucket," explains Keri, adding that "Our favorite part is visiting with Fred and Rain, the friendly onsite horses who are always ready for head rubs and snacks."

    Playground access: Dog friendly campgrounds near Brownsburg often include recreational facilities. "Bathroom facilities are very clean, new bike, walking, rollerblading path. Beach is large and clean. We go every year and love it!" shares Jill W. about Raccoon Lake.

    Farm experiences: Acacia Farms offers a unique setting for families with pets. "Acacia Farms is an awesome spot to slow down in the country and enjoy being around some small farm animals," reports Jake C., providing an educational opportunity alongside pet-friendly accommodations.

    Tips from RVers

    Leveling challenges: Many campgrounds require preparation for uneven terrain. "The site was clean and well equipped with a fire ring and picnic table. The site is very uneven. It definitely sloops to the back corner. It's was difficult to level our camper but we got it in the end," advises Michelle M. about her stay at Turkey Run.

    Site surfaces: White River Campground features improved parking areas for easier setup. "I especially like the roomy sites," notes Shelby B., making it a good option for larger vehicles and equipment.

    Accessibility options: Visitors with mobility concerns have designated areas at some locations. "White River Campground is divided up into A-B-C sections. A is accessible. B is full hookup with sewer and C is water/elec only and tent camping," explains Jeremiah G., providing important information for those requiring specific accommodations when traveling with service animals.
