Reservations are recommended, particularly during peak fall foliage season when the area's natural beauty attracts visitors to these canvas tent and yurt rental options.
"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."

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!
Scoutwe arrived during a halloween kids party. the hostess was super nice. the women’s showers and wash rooms clean. the men’s shower was sport locker style.
ScoutBeautiful, great amenities too. Right off highway to travel anywhere
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.
ScoutTent camping is great, and there are lots of camper lots that are big rig friendly, with all of the hookups. Shower house and restroom are very clean. They have a laundry mat as well. Staff is super friendly and very helpful.
ScoutWe happened across this place and couldn’t have found a more friendly place to camp. Owner introduce himself right away and told us all about the area and history of campground. Pool wasn’t open yet but nice safe place to camp.
GuideLevel sites, electric and sewer at each site, clean facilities, camp ground clean. Was quite less the muffled sounds of the gun range for reserve troops training/qualifying. Mark the host was very helpful and inviting. Free laundry facilities. There is no WiFi, cell coverage was good. I used a Starlink and worked great. This RV park is on base and you need verified access. Overall it’s a nice place for the price (stayed 5 days).
LegendThe Indianapolis KOA was easy to find just off I-70. We had heard that check-in involved a tight turn near the office, but we had no issues navigating the turn with our 40’ fifth wheel and F450. Check-in was quick and easy, and we proceeded to deluxe Paw Pen Site D55, a pull-through with full hookups. We’ve stayed at KOAs with Paw Pens before, but this location had the largest fenced dog area we’ve seen to date, which was a nice surprise. Cell coverage was solid with 3 bars on both Verizon and T-Mobile. The campground has a lot of mature trees, so satellite service could be challenging depending on site location. For this overnight stay, we used our T-Mobile Home Internet and saw 35.4 Mbps download speeds instead of deploying Starlink. Campground Wi-Fi was available but slow at 3.89 Mbps download. The laundry room was clean and well maintained, with large washers and dryers. There was signage noting that the well water may stain white clothing, but we washed some white items without any issues. Take a few minutes to read the campground rules—they’re surprisingly hilarious and worth the laugh. Overall, this was a great overnight stop and one of the better KOA stays we’ve had.
The Edinburgh, Indiana area sits at the northern edge of the hilly southern region of the state, with elevations between 600-900 feet. Camping options near Edinburgh range from primitive tent sites at state forests to full-amenity RV parks with connections to miles of hiking trails. Fall temperatures drop into the 30s at night even when days remain warm, requiring additional insulation for tent campers.
Shooting practice nearby: Camp Atterbury Campground visitors hear regular firearms training from the military installation. "If you don't mind fireing guns 24/7 it's a great little place," notes Jeff G. Another camper mentioned, "I'm military, so the gunfire, canon fire, and helicopters didn't bother me at all. Those things don't happen all the time though."
Mountain biking trails: Brown County State Park offers extensive mountain biking just minutes from eXplore Brown County. "The ATV and ropes course on site were excellent! The free bike trails were hard to find," reports Elana C. The park connects to numerous trail systems of varying difficulty levels.
Water activities: Hidden Paradise Campground offers multiple water recreation options in one location. "What is the best of the best for all in the family? A quarry full to swim with an aqua playground, with use of free life preservers, a creek to kayak or float and a clean campground!" shares Kimberly W. Rentals for water equipment are available on-site.
Fishing spots: Several campgrounds provide direct access to fishing areas. Oak Ridge Camping Area has a trail leading to a "large flooded sinkhole behind the campsite," according to Daisy C. Morgan-Monroe State Forest contains "three small lakes are on the property for fishing and kayaking."
Proximity to attractions: Friends O' Mine Campground & Cabins earns praise for its convenient location. "Minutes from state park and downtown. Big rig friendly sites, Tmobile worked perfectly," says Nicole P. This central location allows campers to explore multiple attractions without long drives.
Community atmosphere: Social connections form naturally at some campgrounds. Kent R. shares about Friends O' Mine: "The owner, their staff, and fellow campers embraced us as part of the family. Their fire pit fellowship is second to none." Organized weekend activities encourage interaction among guests.
Glamping accommodations: Brown County-Nashville KOA provides upscale glamping options with varying comfort levels. "We stayed in the cabins for a couple days. There is always so much to do, one day hiking the next we were shopping," notes Caitlin W. Cabins include small refrigerators and microwaves for convenience.
Wooded seclusion: Hoosiers On The Ridge offers sites that "back up to Yellowwood State Forest" according to the host. Jesse F. adds, "Far enough away from town to be peaceful but close enough to be convenient. We were able to make it to Lake Lemon quickly as well as Bloomington and downtown beautiful Nashville!"
Seasonality impacts: Most campgrounds in the area operate from April through October with limited winter availability. According to Joe B. at Morgan-Monroe State Forest, "This campground typically remains available as an overflow camping area but is still a good spot." Research operating dates when planning winter or shoulder season trips.
Site variations: Many campgrounds feature dramatically different site types within the same facility. "Many sites are small and can only accommodate a tent. This campground is decent if you get one of the few good spots," notes Joe B. about Morgan-Monroe State Forest. Research specific site dimensions before booking.
Noise levels: Several campgrounds report varied noise experiences. At Camp Atterbury, constant training noise affects some campers, while eXplore Brown County has a "party all the time" atmosphere according to Ella L., who explains, "This is the campground for bringing your battery powered hammock string lights and bluetooth speakers."
Site selection strategy: Highway proximity affects noise levels at some locations. Carolyn M. shares about Hidden Paradise: "We stayed in site 107 on a Sunday night and had the section all to ourselves. I think the place is quite busy on weekends though." Weekday stays typically offer quieter experiences.
Splash pad options: Indianapolis KOA offers water features specifically designed for younger children. "The splash pad/water park was fun, but was not a pool. It only goes to 3 feet so if you want to swim this is not for you. My kiddos finally got in and had fun on the slides," reports Megan T.
Weekend activities: Structured events keep children entertained at some campgrounds. Nicole P. notes that at Friends O' Mine, "weekend activities made the stay enjoyable for our kids." Many locations offer seasonal programming that varies throughout the year.
Playground considerations: eXplore Brown County provides "playground for the kiddos was a plus for us," according to carter T. Multiple campgrounds offer play structures, though quality and maintenance vary significantly. Indianapolis KOA balances "kid fun and peaceful nature" with "water, playground, and even horses to view."
Animal encounters: Some campgrounds feature animal interactions. At Indianapolis KOA, Keri mentions, "Our favorite part is visiting with Fred and Rain, the friendly onsite horses who are always ready for head rubs and snacks." Check with staff about feeding guidelines and visiting hours.
Site leveling requirements: Prepare for uneven terrain at some locations. Douglas T. notes at Hidden Paradise: "Sites are large and easy to maneuver our 42' 5th wheel. Our site had full hookup, flat ground so easy setup." Conversely, at Morgan-Monroe, "I was slightly disappointed by the site selections being mostly on a slant," reports rickie F.
Size restrictions: Several campgrounds have limited capacity for larger RVs. Ron H. explains about Morgan-Monroe: "We are RV campers and there are only about 5 sites we could get in to. Our camper is about 25' and it was tight get in and out of the campground." Call ahead to confirm access for larger rigs.
Navigation challenges: Arriving after dark creates difficulties at some campgrounds. Douglas T. shares: "We came in at 10 pm in search for our site... it all disappears in the dark after you turn onto the road. It's needs to be marked better." Plan for daylight arrival when possible.
Utility connections: Hookup availability varies widely. Hidden Paradise offers "full hook-up or water and electric sites, sites are level," according to Georgeann D. Call ahead for specific utility information as some glamping locations in Edinburgh, Indiana advertise full hookups but deliver less.
