The primitive sites accommodate tents and RVs with space for horse trailers. Youngs Creek Horse Camp offers primitive camping with toilets and drinking water in a forested setting.

      Clifty Falls State Park Campground

      Don't Recommend Non-Electric Sites

      Out of all places I've camped in Indiana, this is, by far, the worst. Please note that this is for the non-electric sites. Reasons for the low rating:

      • the firewood that they sell to you is complete crap. It's so wet and damp that you can't burn it. We have had to take every single batch back we've purchased cause it's so bad. They don't do refunds.
      • The playground is so close to most campsites in the non-electric section. I'd recommend getting as far away as possible as the screams of children echo like birds flying throughout the campground.
      • Not the park's fault, but raccoons are horrible here. I'm talking, "walk up to your campfire as you're sitting next to it and steal food that's on the burner" bad. Lol.

      We were lucky enough to find a campsite (#118) very far away from the playground which was surrounded by grasses that separated the campsites surrounding you which was very nice. Again, the raccoons were horrible though.

      Youngs Creek Horse Camp

      Another quiet day in Indiana.

      I had been planning a trip to Youngs Creek for over a month and was happy to finally get there. YC horse camp is well laid out and fairly spacious, apparently only for the random hikers and hunters. I stayed at here for a couple of days, planning on a longer visit, and wasn't dissatisfied. It sports a good-sized pavilion and well-maintained his and hers vault toilets. The camp sites were generous in size with gravel parking, fairly level pads, picnic tables, and a fire ring. The only downside, besides the lack of horses, was an access road to adjacent to the camping area that is well used through the evening.
      I'll be making a return in the spring to watch for the return of the equestrians.

      Peaceful, horse and fisherman friendly

      Felt like we were the only people without a horse or a fishing pole! Great water for kayaking and beautiful sunsets.

      Lots of raccoons in the area, so make sure your food is secure. Some of the sites are equestrian only, but they may give leeway. We reserved our primitive site ahead of time.

      Good weekend trip from Louisville.

      O'Bannon Woods State Park Campground

      Well kept and tons to see and do

      The park is well kept and organized. There are a ton of sites to visit and see. If you like hiking or mountain biking this is for you! Horse people love it also. The campground is near the trail to the old abandoned bridge which is well worth the hike. The fire tower has a commanding view. If you are not enjoying this park, not much else in Indiana will make you happy. Extra points: experienced cavers will enjoy the number of caves. These are by permit only however and novice non cavers should take a proper class and go with experts. There are multiple show caves in the area you can get a basic tour of also.

      Taylorsville Lake State Park Campground

      Great campground!

      We stopped at this campground for two nights on our way down to Tennessee for the eclipse. Most of the sites were really big, and there was plenty of space and trees in between. We stayed at site P02, but I don't recommend that specific site. It was probably the worst site in the primitive camp, but I reserved it online in advance. It was far from flat, and the space provided for the picnic table was pretty much unusable. Just about every other site there looked amazing though. The primitive camp was close to the equestrian camp, and between to two campgrounds, there were only 25 sites. These 25 campsites share a bathhouse, which was very clean and quiet. This park also has an RV campground with 45 sites, but we never step foot in that part of the park.

      Clifty falls state park

      The sites suck not level the shower is new but sucks push. It to die 25 seconds of water that’s like being pissed on the electric situation is poor 30 amp old not maintained the park was put in about 1919 the trails use to be awesome. Now the use to be well groomed trails that were bordered by hand built stone walls have been replaced by half assed wooden decks with steps that were built by Hellen Keller “ridiculous “ They have a 9.00 entry fee on top of the camping fee they cut the grass every day we were there Turing the park into a scalped dust bowel. Again “ridiculous “ they had a few sites that we’re supposed to be persons with disabilities friendly. Their is No sell service. Every one was wondering around looking for service. “ I though that was funny” No WiFi That didn’t bother us. But several folks around us were miffed camp store. Was a joke and was only open maybe Friday Saturday and Sunday. Possibly Maybe. “What ever that means “ the dump station. Is a cluster F#%*¥ was a tight fit for the 3 campers in front of us. Who had 28 ft to 35 ft campers. Just a dirt pull off close to trees with a tight turn to exit. Only one side could be used at a time. Or you would block the campground Exit. So not very well planned out

      Off the beaten path

      Site accommodates both horse, drive in and walk-in camping. There’s a privy and water on site. Campsites have fire rings and picnic tables. There is a trail that loops back to the site for easy hiking access.

      Taylorsville Lake State Park Campground

      Camp in comfort no matter your style

      This campground has much to offer. Tent/RV spaces galore, horse sites, and primitive. Two playgrounds, heated and clean bathrooms. Access to lots of trails and activities. I will say that the two primitive sites closest to the bath house are a bit wonky but totally useable but not for large tents.

    Guide to Floyds Knobs

    The Hoosier National Forest surrounds most campgrounds near Floyds Knobs, Indiana, with wooded areas at elevations ranging from 400-900 feet. Seasonal camping patterns show highest occupancy from April through October when temperatures average 65-85°F during the day. Terrain varies from relatively flat camping areas to hiking trails with significant elevation changes across limestone formations.

    What to do

    Cave exploration: 15-minute drive from Deam Lake State Recreation Area Campground to nearby limestone cave systems. Multiple caverns open for guided tours featuring underground rivers and rock formations. "The Lake View trail was a good and tough hike. If you take young ones, be sure they will be self reliant. It can be very steep in some areas," notes Tom J.

    Bourbon touring: 30 minutes away from many campgrounds along designated routes. Distilleries offer tours ranging from $12-25 per person with reservation requirements. "Loved hitting the bourbon trail and being able to head back into nature! This place afforded us the ability to enjoy the city and then kick back at a nice scenic spot," says Molly G. from Horine Reservation Camping at Jefferson County Memorial Forest.

    Fishing access: multiple locations for bank fishing and boat launches. Bluegill are common catches in smaller lakes. "Caught some bluegills. The lake doesn't allow non electric motors so waters were calm," writes John G. who stayed at Deam Lake. Most fishing areas require an Indiana fishing license available online or at local bait shops.

    What campers like

    Clean facilities: modern bathhouses maintain high standards at several locations. Some campgrounds offer unexpected amenities like "the best bathrooms I have ever seen. Not a single bug and they even had antibacterial hand soap at every sink," according to Angela F. at Deam Lake State Recreation Area.

    Trail variety: multi-use options range from beginner loops to challenging terrain. "Several trails in walking, horse or bike riding distance. Some direct access from the campground. You can set up here and have plenty to do without ever leaving the park," reports Shelly S. about O'Bannon Woods State Park Campground.

    Wildlife watching: dawn and dusk offer prime viewing times for native species. Forest edges near campsites frequently host deer, turkey and smaller mammals. "The chorus frog do roar through the night. 100% worth it, make sure to bring bug spray, and travel carefully up the roads. Lots of wildlife, and kind people," shares Elizabeth W. from Youngs Creek Horse Camp.

    What you should know

    Site levelness concerns: Many campsites require leveling equipment. "Pads were so narrow that it was hard to park.. wasn't just us.. others said the same thing," notes Shannon C. about Deam Lake, while Beverly J. reports "Site 22 was so sloped our red levelers barely made it work" at Clifty Falls State Park Campground.

    Varying cell reception: Coverage differs dramatically between campgrounds. At Horine Reservation, Matt warns "the disrespectful large crowds are what really did it for me. Many people treat the campgrounds like thier backyards," while other areas have "Zero cellular or wifi service so that could be good or bad."
