Best Campgrounds near Cutler, IN

295 Reviews

The rural landscape surrounding Cutler, Indiana features a mix of state parks, county-managed recreation areas, and private campgrounds within a 30-mile radius. Prophetstown State Park Campground near West Lafayette offers year-round camping with both full hookup and electric-only sites, while France Park in Logansport provides a unique camping experience near a former limestone quarry with waterfall views. Camping options range from primitive tent sites at French Post Park to glamping accommodations at Big Fish-n-Camp Ground and Wolfs Leisure Time Campground along the Wabash River. Most facilities maintain clean, well-maintained grounds with basic amenities like picnic tables, fire rings, and access to drinking water.

Seasonal considerations significantly impact camping experiences in this region of north-central Indiana. Most campgrounds operate from April through October, with limited winter availability except at Prophetstown State Park. Summer humidity can be challenging, as one camper noted: "I would go early or late in the season to avoid Indiana's humid muggy summer heat." Spring visits offer wildflower viewing but may bring muddy conditions after rainfall. Cell service varies considerably between locations, with several reviewers mentioning poor connectivity in more remote areas. Many campgrounds require advance reservations, particularly for weekend stays during summer months when family-friendly sites near water features fill quickly.

Water access represents a significant draw for campers in the region. France Park receives high marks for its fishing lake and quarry views, with one visitor describing it as "beyond stunning and never what I expected to see in an Indiana park." Sites along Sugar Creek are particularly sought after, offering opportunities for wildlife viewing and water recreation. Campers frequently mention the spaciousness of sites at state parks compared to more densely arranged private campgrounds. Noise levels vary significantly, with weekday stays generally offering more solitude than weekends. Several reviewers note the importance of site selection, recommending locations away from bathhouses and dumpsters for more privacy and quiet camping experiences.

    Prophetstown State Park Campground

    Great campground

    Great campground. Really nice campground - clean, sites with some shade (especially the section with full hookups). Lots of families enjoying camping, kids relishing the freedom of riding bikes and skateboards (unfortunately too few with helmets including one with a major black eye). Nice walking trails right off of campground. Aquatic center in park. We would return - except that crossing the country on highway 70 is brutal

    Shades State Park Campground

    It was very clean, nicely spaced, and shaded.

    Very nice campground! It was close by Turkey Run State Park, which had amazing trails, that are pictured below. (We definitely recommend Trail 3!) The campground itself was very nice and clean, as well as shaded and pretty. We were camping in August, so it wasn't very busy and we got peace. There were many fun things to do in Turkey Run, although the pool was closed in August. There was also a fun little ice cream place and store in downtown Marshall! 

      Great place overall!

    Sugar Creek Campground and Canoe Rental LLC

    Ripped off for sure read your itinerary is what she told me 4 times instead of trying to make it right !!!!

    Experience was good , except do not get sites 33, 34 or 35 we had maybe 5ft between us and the camper beside us , no way and the electricity hookup is right there so putting out awning was so very dangerous!!!! Bc the water dripped straight onto the electric hookup and who knows if someone may have a cut or anything wrong with there cord electric shock for sure !!!! Visitors JUST TO VISIT TO SEE IF THEY WANT TO CAMP THERE 5$ each Could not cook out or anything bc there’s no room in between your camper and your neighbor’s camper They tell u to look at the four day itinerary, but we’ve always just called or got on the website and booked our site, but it is pretty ridiculous for a camper to hold six or eight and you can only have four people and then on top of that an arm and a leg just for a float to float downstream which the gal young gal told me it was 2 miles 2 to 4 hour trip and it took us an hour so basically got ripped off pretty good this weekend so make sure to read your email b4 going here ! Thank goodness we had family bc we had absolutely no room for anything Bugs horrible And they tell you to have dogs on leash , no one had their dogs on leash except us . A blue healer tried to bite one of us ! It was pouring down and the guy on golf cart while we’re trying to hurry in the rain was so worried about our card he couldn’t wait till we was leaving to turn it in . They give u a code so why not put it in your phone bc if u lose there card they charge u 40$ Seems like more of a money thing to us . We enjoy camping but my gosh break the bank here for sure no gravel on sites hardly mainly dirt and sand so come prepared to sweep your caper or rv every hour . Very very tiny sites and unacceptable for us and anyone wanting to enjoy outside of your camper with your awning

    Broadview Lake and Campground

    Home away from home!

    This campground has a personality of its own. Majority of the lots are permanent Indiana residents but the option for an impromptu night of camping here is always open. The staff have been here years and you can tell genuinely care about this place. They make sure to know you, which makes me feel safe cuz they know who’s here whether tenant or guest. Neighbors are great. You have the occasion person that likes to hear themselves but that’s everywhere. If u want to make friends you can and if you want to stay to yourself you can. The pool was just put in a year ago and is a relaxing place to go. Also what I thought was different was that no matter what is going on here , everyone settles down around 10 to 11 pm and by midnight you hear the crickets and owls. Everyone is so respectful of quiet time here no matter the festivity. There is a pond you can fish as well. If you wanna stick around a while this is the campground for you.

    Tippecanoe River Run

    Don’t think I’ve ever stayed anywhere so peaceful. Birds chirping, right on a nature spring, everyone is respectful but laid back,. Full hook ups and amazing stay.

    Mississinewa Lake Campground

    Great for families

    This is a popular spot for locals and I was lucky to get the last electric site with less than a days notice. Every other site seemed to have a large gathering of family or friends. The restrooms/ showers are quite dated and sparse. I only have one bar with Verizon.

    Crawfordsville KOA

    Very Expensive and dirty.

    First time at this KOA, site was okay, gravel pull through but sewer hookup was all the way at the end of the site, needed extra extension to hook up sewer. The bathroom and showers were disgustingly dirty, both men's and women's smelled and were disgustingly dirty. I can't believe I paid $72 for such terrible accommodations.
