  Poor management oversite

   I have tried to contact corporate and been ignored.. We  stayed at the Rudolph campsite in Santa Claus Indiana like I stated before we would like a refund for one night and one night of the golf cart as we wound up leaving.  the toilet seat was cracked, which pinched me and one of my Children left marks, there were also mouse droppings in the drawer where the silverware was and stains on the sheets. I have pictures of all this and since nobody has contacting us, I will give it until Monday morning and then I will have my attorney contact them with all the pictures since they don’t want to do anything about this and then I will also be posting with the Better Business Bureau and attaching all the pictures.

  Harmonie State Park Campground

  Great campground with persistent raccoons

  Harmonie State Park looks like a great place for a family vacation. In addition to the campground with at least 2 playgrounds, there are trails, picnic areas and a boat ramp. We only stayed 1 night. Site 166 is big and on the end of a road. There's a restroom and water spigot within walking distance. They have showers but we didn't use them. Our only problem was 1 or more raccoons kept coming into our site. We shooed them away but they kept coming back. I'm sure they were just looking for food.

  Harmonie State Park Campground

  Camp site #83

  It had electeic hook up but we were tent camping early May 2024. The campsite is mostly hill with a wash out running through it. It is also the breeding site of thousands of Miner Bees. They were docile and no one got stung but they were everywhere from sun up to sun down the entire site hummed with bees. The entire ground was full of holes that they were coming in and out of. Close to bathroom/showers and a playground, fresh water source across the road.

  Harmonie State Park Campground

  Nice, clean, state park.

  Everything was well kept and clean. Multiple bath/shower houses on each loop. Push button showers. Takes about a minute to get water hot, but good after that. Dated, but clean and functional. The lights stay on 24/7 so bugs are in the shower house.

  Multiple walking trails and bike trails. Nice shelter houses and picnic areas. Multiple playgrounds. Nature center in the campground. Many events scheduled for summer. New Harmony (town) is close by and a must stop. Nature walks, lots of unique history you will find nowhere else, quaint shopping, coffee shops, wine bar, dining, etc...

  The pool has been filled in at the park. Very disappointing.

  I was demolished by mosquitos and was covered in deet. Tried picaridin too. If you get the biters off you, the gnats were all over me too. Not sure if just time of year or maybe always this way (did rain multiple times).

  Couldn't use mountain bike trails and most hike trails as it was too wet.

  Suggest calling before making reservations because many of electric sites are not level, at all. Ask which would be best.

  Harmonie State Park Campground

  Great Trip

  We had a great time here. Nice spaced out place. We stayed at site 192. It was at the back of the campground, but close to the bathrooms/showers and just across from the playground. It was close enough to walk to the Nature Center and grab ice cream. There’s even a hiking trail right behind. And not much through traffic since it’s in the back. Staff was extremely friendly. They had ice and firewood to purchase. Even the other campers were extremely friendly. We were only a few mins from downtown New Harmony. The coffee shop there was very good. Evansville was about 30 mins. We had to go get a new car battery there and DNR used a jump box to get us going. Very clean bathrooms and grounds. The only reason it didn’t get 5 stars were the showers. Older, took awhile to heat up, only had water for about 15 seconds at a time. Not easy to get a squirming toddler bathed. Better than nothing though. Great campground, highly recommend!

  Had the campground to myself. Facilities for showering were fine. Park employees were very friendly. I saw some cabins at park that they rent out that looked like a good deal for the non camping people. Short drive away is the town of New Harmony. They seem to have a lot of events in summer and fall. Access to the Wabash River right at the park

  Perfect location to view the Solar Eclipse

  We stayed at Miles Landing the weekend leading up to the Solar Eclipse in April 2024. Everyone was pleasant. Managment provided viewing glasses and arranged for a food truck.

  Scales Lake Park

  Excellent Park

  What a gem of a park! From the stunning trails to the pristine lake, this place is a nature lover's paradise. The shower facilities are top-notch, ensuring a comfortable stay for all campers. One thing to note is the strict parking rule at camp sites, but don't worry, there's overflow parking available for visitors. It's enforced for everyone's safety and convenience. The highlight for many is the petting zoo—an absolute must-visit for campers of all ages. It's a fantastic experience that adds an extra layer of fun to your stay. While there's no on-site camp store, fret not! You're just a short drive away from a local dollar store and the famous Tastee Freeze. Trust me, their ice cream is out of this world, and the food is equally delightful. I highly recommend treating yourself to a visit. Overall, this park offers everything you need for a memorable camping experience. Can't wait to visit again!

  Peaceful But Plain

  A very peaceful place to camp with helpful rangers. There was a free petting zoo which was great but the animals seemed very discontented. The trails were interesting but vacant of trail markers and some plaques were vandalized from years before. Firewood is $8 a bundle and parking is $3 a day. Well priced and serene, but I would recommend this for people without children or someone looking for a camp away from any kind of excitement.

  Maybe not a tent…

  the heat was definitely a vibe killer. our tent trapped in so much heat and humidity it was INSANE. plots are very close together, so you have people around you. and animals start to become active around 8:30pm. we had some trouble with a few raccoons coming up to our table and having no fear to approach us. i suggest keeping a large stick with you. and bring a candle to keep bugs away. they’re everywhere and all over you. wouldn’t recommend trail #2 either. only trail i went on while i was there and i ran into at least 20 spiderwebs, a large bug chased us for another good 2 miles continuing to land on us and buzz in our ears. the trails are long with no mile markers, but very cool scenery on the way. the trail ended at a road, where you have to walk all the way back to camp (about 45 minutes) up hills and on the road.. ALSO LIVE BUGS IN SHOWERS!!

  Beautiful State Park

  This state park was easy to find. We arrived about 4:45 PM as their Sunday check in time is 5:00 PM. There were still campers coming out of the park. Check in was super easy thanks to a very nice ranger. We proceeded 3 miles into the park to the campground(CG) loop areas. We were offered pull through site 20 if we didn’t want our reserved site 22 that was a back-in with electric(50/30 AMP) only. Site 22 was an easy back-in and its a large site so we stuck with this site. We paid$23 per night, plus$5 transaction fee, and$3.22 tax for this site. Upon arrival we payed a one-time$9(out of state) entrance fee. There are water spigots periodically spaced around the loops. Ours was about 55 feet from our site, which was convenient to fill our fresh water tank. There was a sign on the spigot not allowing splitters to connect for more permanent use. We were in one of the CG’s first loops, 16-28, that was pretty much empty during our two night’s stay Sun- Tue the first week week of June. We liked this loop’s privacy and space between sites. In the main campground areas(sites 60- 100s) the RV and tent sites were closer together but we did notice that a few sites around 118 had electric and water. There were quite a few restrooms/shower facilities smartly placed throughout the CG loops. This state park was among the cleanest and well maintain that we have experienced during our journeys.

  Big Rig Friendly

  Very nice campground. Had the whole place to our selves a couple of nights. Concrete level sites. Pond to fish in and huge dog run, but not to close to a large number of sites. Definitely will be back.

  Out of the way

  This is a small state park in an out of the way part of the state. Located in Southwest Indiana, about 40 miles from Evansville. 

  This is a typical Indiana State Park. Some sites are pretty close together, some are spacious. There's electricity, but water is shared. Some sites have 50 amp, so when you're looking to reserve, check that out. IMO, the best site is site 39. It's at the end of the row, with somewhat secluded. It's a walk to the bathroom, but worth it. Site 22 is also a good site at the end of a row & has a trail from the site to the small pond. 

  Be sure to watch for the grade also. Some of the sites had a noticeable incline. 

  Bathrooms are pretty dismal. They smelled bad too. They need to start replacing these old, worn out comfort stations with something from this century! The nature center is in the campground & is pretty small. We enjoyed it though.

  The camp store is in the park office& is ridiculous. Bring everything you need, cause you won't find it there!

  8 trails the longest is 2.5 miles, the shortest.25 miles. There's also mountain bike trails & a 4 mile horse trail.

  Almost a 5 star but the gnats drove us crazy

  We stayed at Harmonie State Park for 4 nights Tue-Fri the second weekend of April. Unfortunately the weather was cold, windy, and rainy. I don’t know if it was the weather but the gnats were everywhere. We had a pull through site #40 is was very narrow but it had a beautiful view out our back windows. Water was available throughout the park. It was easy to hook up if we needed more water. Only 3 spigots were not uncovered yet. We had a raccoon visit our campsite and heard bobcats at night.

  Take a tour of New Harmony if you like history. The town is beautiful most of the shops were not open during the week.

  Overall the park is beautiful we just didn’t have great luck with the weather.

  Very quiet though it is winter season. There is still water available and a place to dump. We camped close to the lake in a pull through site. This time of year very few campers. But everyone I encountered even park staff was very friendly.

  Great park

  Overall good experience. The staff was friendly and helpful. There is a small petting zoo at the park and in the morning they let the animals out to feed on the grass. So expect to see them in the campground. Harmless and unique. Bathhouse was extremely clean and well taken care of. The only thing I wish that would have been better, is the electrical hookups could probably be updated.

  Beautiful trees!

  I spent two night at Pine Ridge in early November. Really liked the place. The rustic sites are well spread out so they feel very private. The hookup sites were closer together and did not look as well spaced. There is a 2 mile loop road that goers around the whole campground and down to a beach access point for a gorgeous lake. That was a perfect little g walk with the dog. Spectacular.

  Peaceful

  Trying out my recently purchased 17’ clipper travel trailer. Loved the area and the campsites are very roomy, especially for a small camper. There were a few other folks camping that weekend but still very quiet. The left loop has power 50/30/20 amp hook ups but no water or sewer on the campsite. Great location for hiking trails and it’s exactly 23 Miles to Walmart. We will definitely stay here again. Fall foliage was kick’n too. And it was only $10 a night!!!

  Pine Ridge

  Beautiful Area with large sites!

  This campground area is beautiful! We stayed here 3 nights. We arrived on a Thursday and there were plenty of open spots. Friday they open some of the other loops up for more people to stay and it did fill up for the weekend. 

  You can get some cell service but only in choice areas (at the front by the water spigot and some of the roads leading down to the lake. We were not able to get any cell service (Verizon, AT&T, or T Mobile) in the electric loop. 

  This area is a primitive area and is not really set up for RVs. Don't get me wrong... RVs can definitely fit in most of the camping spots but only 1 loop has electricity, there is no sanitary dump station, and the water spigot does not have a way to hook up a hose to fill your tank. If you dump your tanks and fill with fresh water before coming you should be good. 

  It does have vault toilets... no showers. The toilets were very clean for vault toilets. 

  The lake area is beautiful with a swimming area, fishing pier, and pavilion to eat or sit under for shade. It looks like they really keep the area cleaned up!

  Another little note that we learned is that the park rangers can help you move sites... or even campgrounds if your site is not working for you so you don't loose out on money like we did. This only applies to other Shawnee campgrounds of course but there are quite a few to choose from!

  Scales Lake Park

  Nice but Close to Neighbors

  We camped here in the middle of October. The sites are very close together, so when the campsites are full you don't feel like you have much privacy or personal space. It was nice having full hookups for our camper, and there are plenty of hiking trails to get out and explore. Scales Lake is beautiful, my daughter enjoyed the playground and the petting zoo, and we'd probably like to come back, just maybe not on such a busy weekend.
