11 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several RV campgrounds near Brownsburg offer full hookup options for various rig sizes, from pull-through sites to back-in pads with 30- or 50-amp electric service. Indianapolis KOA in Greenfield accommodates big rigs with water, electric, sewer hookups, and remains open March through mid-November. Sites are equipped with picnic tables and fire rings on mostly level ground. "This easy-access-from-the-highway RV park is really nice. The spots are accessible, the bathrooms are AMAZING, the little attractions are adorable and the host is terrific," noted one visitor about Cloverdale RV Park, which offers 30-amp service and water/sewer connections. Raceview Family Campground, located near Indianapolis Motor Speedway, provides big-rig friendly sites with 50-amp electric hookups and operates seasonally from May 22 to September 1.
Advance reservations are strongly recommended during racing events at Indianapolis Motor Speedway when area campgrounds fill quickly. Most RV parks in the region maintain sanitary dump stations, with Lake Haven Retreat offering 24/7 accessible facilities. Cell service generally remains strong throughout the area due to proximity to Indianapolis, though signal strength varies at more rural locations. Pet policies differ between facilities - all listed parks allow pets but may have breed or size restrictions. Seasonal closures affect availability, with many facilities shutting down between November and March. A recent review mentioned that Lake Haven Retreat "doesn't have any of the typical summer amenities like a pool but the ones it does have are in tip top shape" and noted the availability of both easy back-in and pull-through sites.
"The spots in Taylor ridge were mostly well-spaced and felt pretty private. The pit toilets were clean and the showers were nice."
"It was backed up to the edge of the woods which made for a lovely view. Driving through the campground it looks like there are some sites pretty close together but ours wasn’t too bad."
from $20 - $43 / night
"This is a beautiful State Park situated in the rolling hills of southern Indiana."
"We have a 21’ RV/van and we just barely fit in the site - take their length limits seriously. This site only has 20 amp power, so make sure you have an adapter if you need 30/50 hookups."
from $43 / night
"Campground is peaceful and scenic. Water had a funny smell, however. But, would stay again for sure."
"This easy-access-from-the-highway RV park is really nice. The spots are accessible, the bathrooms are AMAZING (no…seriously), the little attractions are adorable and the host is terrific."
"There are three loops, Buffalo ridge (RV), Raccoon Ridge which is tent sites around the outside, with electric inside the loop. Which would be suitable for RVs."
"Holiday Fourth of July 2022 weekend the start Park was special excitement in downtown Nashville, Indiana a short drive outside the State Park."
from $43 / night
"They are very laid back and allow their campers to enjoy their experience as they wish to enjoy it whether that is long term or short term."
"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!"
"Brown County has always been the jewel of Indiana State Parks for Trail Riders. The campground is large, with spaces to accommodate larger rigs."
"We often take our horses trail riding there for a week every couple of summers of just go down for weekend trips to go hiking."
from $17 - $36 / night
"I stayed with full hookups, but no cable (don't need it, so don't know if it's available) and we weren't close enough to connect to the WIFI (only close enough to occasionally see 1 bar pop up)."
"This a a very quiet, clean campground. They directed us to our side and the staff was very friendly. Although we didn’t use it, the beach looked nice and a good play set for the kits."
"Our family returns at least once a year for the scenery and biking. We generally use the Rally group campsite and invite our friends to join us. "
from $20 - $50 / night
"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."
ScoutMark & Denise are great camp hosts they care about everyone and will help them if they need it. They do so much for the holidays and have some great times together around the campfires. Will miss them this winter but will be thinking of them during the Army Navy game. (A inside joke lol).
Guide⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!
GuideWe 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.
ScoutClean paved sites, rigs under 35 feet will fit. Water and electricity 50/30 (water is in the ground.
LegendWe 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!
ScoutBeautiful, great amenities too. Right off highway to travel anywhere
LegendNice 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.
GuideGreat 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.
Traveler50A 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.
Brown County State Park dominates the camping scene near Brownsburg, Indiana, with its distinctive rolling landscape containing three separate campgrounds across the 16,000-acre park. Located approximately 50 miles south of Brownsburg, the park features terrain that's unusually hilly for Indiana, with sites situated atop ridgelines. Camping options near Brownsburg range from mountainous state park camping to private RV parks, with most facilities closed from November through March due to seasonal weather conditions.
Mountain biking trails: Brown County State Park offers almost 30 miles of purpose-built trails for all skill levels. "The mountain biking is excellent, with purpose built trails for beginner to expert (flow, berms, rollers, jumps...)," notes a visitor at Buffalo Ridge Campground. The trails include technical features for experienced riders and gentler routes for beginners.
Horseback riding: For equestrians, dedicated horse camping facilities and guided trail rides are available. A reviewer at Horsemen's Campground shared: "It is Beautiful! I have only been twice and we took our hours to trail ride! There are a lot of fun hills and trails that you can ride for hours which we love to do."
Hiking to lakes: Multiple trails wind through the park, including routes connecting to two lakes. "The park as a whole is beautiful and there's a trailhead that's walking distance from the campsite that leads down a beautiful trail to a lake," according to a camper at Taylor Ridge Campground.
Nashville shopping: The artisan town of Nashville is minutes from several campgrounds, offering unique shops, restaurants, and attractions. A reviewer at Taylor Ridge noted: "Nashville is only a 5 minute drive from the campgrounds, and it's a blast going to all of the different shops and restaurants located in town."
Clean shower facilities: Many campgrounds maintain well-kept bathhouses, a priority for tent campers. "Very clean bathrooms and shower houses," writes a reviewer at Taylor Ridge Campground. Another visitor added that "the pit toilets were probably the cleanest pits I've ever used" at Raccoon Ridge.
Spacious, wooded sites: Campers frequently mention appreciating the natural setting of certain campgrounds. "There are 3 separate campgrounds in the park Buffalo Ridge, Raccoon, and Taylor Ridge. We stayed in Taylor which was dubbed 'wooded' and the one I would most suggest. The others were pretty cleared out and too close together," notes a Taylor Ridge visitor.
Kid-friendly amenities: Several campgrounds offer dedicated facilities for children. At S and H Campground, "They have a little section full of carnival like rides. Several playgrounds! Campground big and spacious," according to a recent visitor. Another adds: "The splash pad/water park was fun...my kiddos finally got in and had fun on the slides."
On-site dining options: Some facilities offer food service directly at the campground. Muncie RV Resort provides meal options, and a camper at Indianapolis KOA mentioned: "We ordered pizza for dinner they deliver to the site which is nice. Ice cream available a lot of flavors and real ice cream not just soft serve."
Uneven terrain: Many sites require leveling equipment, particularly in the state park. One camper at Raccoon Ridge Campground noted: "Some spots are uneven and tight, but also some very large (back of loop and some of the spots on side of loop in the front)." Another mentioned that "some sites were fairly sloped as well."
Site selection matters: Campground layouts vary significantly, affecting your experience. "I would say pay particular attention to the size of the site you're booking as some were pretty small," advises a Taylor Ridge camper. Another visitor suggests: "262 was the biggest and most private site I saw when walking around. 260 is a pull through site."
Bathroom quality varies: Facilities differ widely between campgrounds and even within the same park. A visitor to S and H Campground reported: "The only thing we didn't like was the bathroom conditions. The floor tiles were breaking off and there was certainly a mold issue."
Weather considerations: Brown County's terrain makes it susceptible to weather issues. "There were trees down throughout the park including our campsite. It took a couple hours for them to come clean it up," reports a visitor after a storm. Another notes flood risks at S and H: "Hancock County had 2″ of rain on Friday. The campground (lower) sits at a low elevation. Our site was 70% flooded."
Water activities: Several campgrounds offer swimming options for children. "The pool is delightful especially for littles who will enjoy the fountains and big pouring bucket," says an Indianapolis KOA visitor. S and H Campground offers a pool, worn out mini-golf, and "small carnivalesque rides."
Nature programs: Educational opportunities exist at many parks. "The nature center is really fun with animals and a bee hive that the children really enjoyed! There are a lot of diverse hiking trails for all," shares a camper at Taylor Ridge. Another mentions attending "a Raptor show that was put on at the nature center" at Buffalo Ridge.
Animal encounters: Some campgrounds feature on-site animals that children enjoy visiting. "Our favorite part is visiting with Fred and Rain, the friendly onsite horses who are always ready for head rubs and snacks," writes a visitor to Indianapolis KOA.
Weekend activities: Many campgrounds schedule special events for families. "This campground was wonderful. We stayed on a Thursday, but saw that they have a ton of activities going on during the weekend including live music and cornhole tournaments," notes an S and H camper. Another mentioned: "The Saturday night we stayed they were playing a kids movie in one part of the campground and live music 'on the hill'."
Park entrance restrictions: Large rigs must plan their route carefully when visiting Brown County State Park. "The north entrance is through a covered bridge with a 9 foot clearance and 3 ton limit! Otherwise, use the easily accessible west entrance, just a few miles 'around the corner,'" warns a Buffalo Ridge visitor.
Power considerations: During peak usage times, electrical systems may be strained at some rv sites near Brownsburg, Indiana. A visitor to S and H Campground reported: "When everyone started turning on their AC, my surge protector kept kicking due to voltage swings."
Campground selection for RVs: Of the three Brown County campgrounds, some are more suitable for larger rigs. A reviewer advises: "For more secluded and wooded setting, chose Taylor Ridge (careful with larger RV's)." Another notes: "The roads are not marked very well and it took a bit to find our site which needed level blocks and is just wide enough for the RV."
Site terrain: Many RV sites require leveling equipment due to sloped terrain. "Driving through the campground it looks like there are some sites pretty close together but ours wasn't too bad. Also, some sites were fairly sloped as well," notes a Taylor Ridge camper. For those with larger rigs seeking smoother sites, a reviewer at Muncie RV Resort mentioned it was "spacious and quiet" with easier access.
