Guidethe campground is seriously in need of some tlc and they have gotten rid of the deer exhibit and replaced it with a dog park which is sad because my family spent a few hours each trip just petting and feeding the deer before. also the nature center isn’t what it used to be. bathrooms are always nasty. it’s sad because this used to be our go to campground.
GuideOut 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:
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.
GuideNice campground with several pull through sites for big rigs. Pool and new dog park with a very nice play area for the kids. We prefer site 18 which offers nice privacy and os next to a stream.
TravelerGenerous sized campsites, a lot of them are wooded which we prefer, with around 400 sites there are plenty to choose from! Bathroom/shower facilities are updated and usually well maintained. There is a large public beach but it's on the other side of the park so you have to drive all the way around to get to it, no short cuts. They have a camp ground beach but it's been closed the last 2 years. Lots of hiking trails, bridal trails and a bike path. Wish list for this park: Boat rental, dog park, dog beach/water access. Overall a beautiful park.
GuideThis is newly opened and a lot of work still needs to be done. Currently there is no dog park, hiking trails or bathhouses like it states. Many of the spots aren’t even finished yet.
When looking at the camp map don’t plan on having access to the creek or river. Your lucky if you can even view it.
The ground is all sand. So while if it rains you won’t get muddy, but the sand is a pain and gets everywhere.
ScoutVery friendly staff. The bathrooms having regular working toilets and showers. The bathrooms are very nice. There is a pool, volleyball courts and a dog park. It is hot in June, so bring a canopy if your RV doesn’t have one.
GuideWe love camping here! Whether it's tent camping, group camping, RV, cabin, or lodge accommodations they can fill all your needs. Very large park with playgrounds, fishing, swimming, creek access, dog park, archery practice area or walk over to the damn. The bathrooms could use a little better cleaning but all in all it's a great park! We come often and camp at least once a year! Highly recommended.
TravelerThis KOA sets the bar for the Ohio locations we have visited. The bathrooms are amazing and private. The tent site we had was huge and there were actually trees for our suspended tent and hammocks. The dog park wasn’t huge, but larger than most. The campground was completely full but still quiet and peaceful. The staff are amazing.
ScoutI’ve been camping here every summer since I was a child. There is always a lot to do for all age groups. They’ve also added in a dog park which is perfect for my fur babies! There’s plenty of trails for hiking and adventuring. Archery range, plenty of spots to fish and keep everyone occupied! Love this campground and will continue to come back for many years to come!

Visit the bison herd: At Big Bone Lick State Historic Site Campground, campers can observe live bison in their natural habitat. "Great Attraction, you can walk the trails and even get the excitement of seeing REAL LIVE BISON. Pretty sweet experience!" notes camper Zoe S.
Explore local history: The region offers educational opportunities through museums and historic sites. At Big Bone Lick, "The museum and gift shop have a lot of educational stuff which would be excellent for a home schooling trip," shares Shelly S., who recommends it as "a good interactive grade school age children campground."
Enjoy water recreation: Brookville Lake provides extensive boating opportunities with multiple no-wake zones. "Huge lake for boating" mentions Zoe S., while another camper notes "There is a beach area" for swimming during summer months.
Spacious sites: Brookville Lake offers generous camping areas. "The camp sites are pretty far apart at least twice as far as in private campgrounds and so have ample room even for our two good sized dogs," reports Jeff E.
Recreational diversity: Hueston Woods State Park Campground provides multiple activities in one location. "It has lake activities, hiking, biking, fishing. Camping can be in tents or various cabins or even in the lodge," explains Megan D.
Peaceful atmosphere: The serene setting at some campgrounds allows for relaxing stays. At Camp Shore Campground, visitors appreciate the calm environment. "Wonderful campground for the whole family. Lots to do, great children's activities and playground. Spacious and well organized with a great host," writes Ron P.
Site selection matters: Many campgrounds have variable site quality. At Winton Woods Campground Hamilton County Park, "There is a fire ring, a picnic table and an oversized gravel spot with plenty of trees to hang my hammock from," but not all sites offer the same features.
Weather considerations: Seasonal timing affects the camping experience. "Plan to come back and meet family here next year," mentions Joe B. about Brookville Lake, noting how "the trees keep it cool even in 80 degree weather."
Booking challenges: Some reservation systems can be frustrating. "We tried all weekend to book a site online. Both the mobile site and the full website didn't work," reports one Winton Woods camper, suggesting calling directly when possible.
Educational opportunities: Versailles State Park Campground offers family-friendly learning experiences. "There are some nice trails and a lake where you can fish and kayak," mentioned one reviewer, making it ideal for nature exploration with children.

Campground activities: Seasonal events make camping more engaging for kids. "Beyonder Getaway Rising Sun welcomes pets at both their lower deck riverfront sites and upper deck pond-adjacent areas," mentions a camper, adding that families can enjoy "swimming in the pool, playing basketball, letting the kids play on a campground play set."
Site leveling challenges: Many campgrounds have uneven sites that require preparation. At Miami Whitewater Forest Campground, one camper noted they "was not happy about our site. It was not level. We managed but I was ready to leave when I got there."
RV size considerations: Not all campgrounds accommodate larger rigs. At Indian Springs Campground, "The spaces are gravel and level. The campground is mostly RV with a few private apartments/houseboat," shares Beth B., noting "We took a chance on last minute reservations and there were plenty of pull through spots."
Full hookup availability: Limited full hookup sites require advance planning. At Brookville Lake, one camper noted there were "very few full hook up sites so need to reserve those early," despite the campground being "very clean with lots of bath/shower locations."
