      Friends O' Mine Campground & Cabins

      ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

      Camp Atterbury Campground

      Host is great, park is nice, MWR needs help

      Great 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.

      White River Campground

      Amazing campground

      We made last minute reservations, for tent camping, the staff was so nice. She even brought fire wood to us after they closed the store. They have all amenities. The shower were nice and clean (the water was a bit smelly). The sight comes with outlets and water faucets. There’s a lake right near the sight that u can go into, but that causes a lot of flies to come.

      White River Campground

      Beautiful and Relaxing!

      We traveled from Tennessee for a concert in Indianapolis (about a 40-minute drive) and absolutely loved this campground! The sites are paved, level, and offer plenty of yard space, with many located right along the river.

      It’s right at the entrance to a scenic walking trail, and they even offer electric bike rentals to explore the area. The campground store is one of the nicest we’ve seen, and the bathrooms are clean and well maintained. There’s also a new, modern playground.

      Wi-Fi is available, and we had solid cell service with 3 bars on US Cellular and T-Mobile. If we lived closer, we’d definitely be back!

      Winter season is over middle of April, and we were here April 3rd. Water was turned off at the sites, but they had a spot to fill up your holding tank.

      Full hook-ups!

      Good amenities

      Loved our 2 night stay, the camp store was great. Glad they had extra firewood. Cicero the town close by is a cute one with a nice water scene. Only 2 other tents set up in the whole campground. Most of the rv/camper spots were taken though.

      Camp Atterbury Campground

      Camp Atterbury Fam Camp

      Level 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).

    Guide to Franklin

    Camping options near Franklin, Indiana span from basic to premium with several sites located within 30-40 miles of town. The region features rolling hills with elevations ranging from 600 to 900 feet above sea level and a humid continental climate with four distinct seasons. Summer temperatures typically reach 85°F while spring and fall offer more moderate camping conditions with occasional rainfall.

    What to do

    Hiking trails access: Brown County State Park sits directly across from Brown County-Nashville KOA, offering extensive trail networks. "Very close to Brown County State Park and Nashville, IN. Lots of mature trees," notes a visitor. The state park contains over 20 miles of hiking paths ranging from easy to rugged.

    Fishing opportunities: Hidden Paradise Campground provides river and pond fishing access. "Our son fished and we watched random people float down river. It was perfect for overnight stay passing through," reports one camper. The campground sits along Flat Rock River with multiple access points for anglers.

    Water recreation: Many sites offer swimming and boating options. At Hidden Paradise, "the quarry lake with inflatables & paddle boats" provides alternative water activities. Sites typically charge $10-15 per person daily for quarry swimming access, separate from camping fees.

    What campers like

    Military connection: Camp Atterbury Campground offers a unique camping experience on a military installation. "They stack free firewood at your campsite to burn. 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," explains a recent visitor who rated the experience positively.

    Pool facilities: Several campgrounds maintain swimming pools for guests. At Indianapolis KOA, "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. The water was cold but my kiddos finally got in and had fun on the slides."

    Camping variety: Visitors appreciate diverse accommodation options. "We have 3 sites that back up to Yellowwood State Forest and can accommodate tents, vans, and trailers under 12ft," notes a host at Hoosiers On The Ridge, highlighting the range of choices beyond traditional glamping near Franklin.

    What you should know

    Noise factors: Several campgrounds have specific noise considerations. At Camp Atterbury, a visitor mentioned, "If you don't mind fireing guns 24/7 it's a great little place." Others noted, "If you don't mind gunfire 24/7 this is the best place ever." The military installation regularly conducts training exercises.

    Reservation timing: Most campgrounds near Franklin fill quickly during peak season. For Indianapolis KOA, visitors report that calling "less than two weeks in advance" often results in limited site availability, particularly for holiday weekends and summer months.

    Site variations: eXplore Brown County features significant differences between sites. "Some camps sites were nice and spacious others had no privacy. Most of the campground is shaded though," notes a visitor. The campground has approximately 40 sites with varying levels of privacy and amenities.

    Tips for camping with families

    Activity planning: When glamping near Franklin with children, choose locations with built-in activities. At eXplore Brown County, "Playground for the kiddos was a plus for us. Nice bathroom and shower facilities," notes one family. The site also offers ziplines and paintball facilities for older children.

    Kid-friendly water features: Look for campgrounds with dedicated children's water areas. One Indianapolis KOA visitor highlighted that "the big plus was the pool" during hot weather, mentioning the "nice playground and wading pool area. So if you have younger children, ideal for you."

    Consider noise levels: Select sites based on anticipated noise. At eXplore Brown County, a camper warned about "early rising children riding bikes and talking loudly" and suggested choosing sites farther from the main facilities if quiet mornings are a priority.

    Tips from RVers

    Site selection strategy: Morgan-Monroe State Forest has limited large RV options. "Our camper is about 25' and it was tight get in and out of the campground. If you have a small camper (15' or smaller) there would more sites," advises an RV camper. The campground primarily accommodates tent camping with only about 5 sites suitable for larger rigs.

    Leveling challenges: Prepare for uneven terrain at some campgrounds. At Brown County-Nashville KOA, "Pads are gravel and we did need to use several leveling blocks on our site, which made for a doosey of a bottom step into and out of our trailer." RVers recommend bringing extra leveling equipment to accommodate hillside positioning.

    Hookup availability: Verify hookup types before booking. As one Indianapolis KOA visitor noted, the campground offers "clean, easy in-and-out, all the amenities. Wi-fi worked, cable didn't (but they did try to help us out - we had the wrong cable)." Most KOA sites provide full hookups, while state forest campgrounds typically have no electric options.
