Southeastern Indiana's rolling countryside around Greensburg offers a variety of camping experiences within a 30-mile radius. Moccasin Meadow, located 12 miles west of Greensburg off I-74, provides options from primitive tent sites to full hookups with clean facilities and a fishing pond. Nearby, Versailles State Park Campground operates year-round with electric hookups, boat access, and cabin accommodations. Hidden Paradise Campground in St. Paul and Thorntree Lake Mobile Home Park & Campground provide additional options for RV and tent campers seeking established sites with varying amenity levels. The region balances privately-owned campgrounds with state-managed recreation areas, giving campers choices between more developed facilities and simpler outdoor experiences.
Most campgrounds in the area require reservations, particularly during summer weekends and fall color season. According to one camper at Moccasin Meadow, "The grounds are always kept clean with bathroom and shower house available, playground, and pond to fish from." Interstate 74 provides convenient access to most camping areas, though some secondary roads may be narrow or have limited signage. Seasonal operation varies by location, with Thousand Trails Indian Lakes in Batesville operating from April 1 to November 1, while Versailles State Park remains open year-round. Non-Indiana residents should note that state parks charge an entrance fee in addition to camping fees, which can affect budget planning for weekend trips.
Water access represents a significant draw for campers in the region. Brookville Lake at Mounds State Recreation Area offers boating and fishing opportunities with approximately a dozen full-hookup sites featuring 50-amp power, water, and sewer connections. Visitors note that "when booking online be cautious of site grade as many of the sites in the original loops have a moderate grade and are uneasy for motorhomes to level." Family-friendly amenities are common throughout the area's campgrounds, with playgrounds, fishing ponds, and hiking trails available at most locations. Cell service can be spotty in some areas, particularly in more remote campgrounds. Wildlife encounters, especially with raccoons, are frequently mentioned in camper reviews, suggesting proper food storage is essential when visiting campgrounds in the region.

GuideCamp 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.

Nice campground - but busy
Now called Unhitched RV Park. I’m quite liberal with my rating so 4 star may be generous. There are quite a few weekender / extended stay sites but they all look clean without too many extensive built-ins. People were all very friendly, desk attendant was excellent with great information and very accommodating. Site workers are busy keeping the place tidy and are nice people. We stayed at the upper sites with plenty of of mature trees for shade. Near the river is very wide open. Had a pull through site with plenty of room for everything. Hook ups are all properly located for standard equipment. Some sites need leveling but ours only used one block under left side. Pool is very nice and we waited for a quiet time to go. New management has taken over recently, so name is now Unhitched RV Park. Showers, laundry, small camp store. Couldn’t get Wi-Fi to work day 1. It can get very busy with golf carts and 4 wheelers. Generally we had a nice site with reasonable privacy. Also the area has a lot to offer with the local small towns.
Jeff C.ScoutShale Bluff Campground — Hardy Lake State Recreation Area
My favorite spot
Love taking the kid to hardy lake. Smaller lake to fish on with a trolling motor canoe but big enough they allow gas motors. Have a few favorite sites for the camper.

Hoosier Dispersed Camping
Ticks Ahoy !
This is not great camping . There are paved roads and private property all throughout the majority of the “National Forest” and “Wilderness”. People speed down these roads at 40mph in the middle of the night . The campsites are littered with glass and trash . As we were driving out , we passed a campfire that was not extinguished properly . It is clear that the local communities do not maintain or respect this land .
Also - there are ticks , beware

Clean, quiet woods and raccoons
20 & 30 amp service only. Very nice place to kick back and unwind. Dump station is on a hill so it’s tough to get the job done completely.

Lots of space, open fields
We had a wonderful camping experience at the Wayne County Fairgrounds during a recent convention we attended on-site! The grounds were spacious, peaceful, and easy to navigate. Having 30 amp electric hookups, convenient access to water, and dump stations on the property made our stay comfortable and stress-free. There was plenty of room to relax and enjoy the outdoors, and the location was convenient for getting around Richmond. We would gladly camp here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay!

Small close site.
I feel this is more of a tent camping campground. You park on pads and park campers anywhere you want. Nice shower house. Not much for kids. Hills.

What to do
Boating and swimming at quarries: Hidden Paradise Campground features both river access and a unique swimming quarry with inflatable play equipment. "The quarry lake with inflatables & paddle boats. Our boys & friends spend most of their time in the river, but also enjoy the quarry lake with inflatables & paddle boats," notes Angela H. from Hidden Paradise Campground.
Mountain biking on dedicated trails: The trail system at Hueston Woods State Park includes dedicated mountain biking routes through wooded terrain. "There are several marked trails near the reservoir area. I talked with mountain bikers that spoke favorably," reports Dave V. who visited Hueston Woods State Park Campground.
Golf cart tours: Some campgrounds permit personal or rental golf carts for easier navigation of larger properties. "They were also renting golf carts for $100 per day," mentions Lindsay K. about Hidden Paradise Campground, while Emerson F. notes at Indian Lakes, "The only negative things I encountered were the loud golf carts with their music blasting until late at night on the weekends."
Seasonal Halloween festivities: October brings special Halloween events to several campgrounds. Dave V. observed at Hueston Woods, "Unknowingly, it appeared every weekend in October has a big Halloween emphasis, so the upper campground was sold out."
What campers like
Riverside camping sites: Many campers appreciate waterfront access for fishing or floating. "Great riverside sites. We take our own rafts and kayaks, although both are available for rent/purchase at the camp store," shares Angela H. about Hidden Paradise Campground.
Multiple swimming options: Some campgrounds offer both lake/river swimming and pool facilities. At CERA Sports Corporation, one visitor explains, "Our grandkids love the pool with the slide and rock wall, the mini golf, the paddle boats and the amazing playground. We love the dockside bar and pizza oven."
Wildlife viewing opportunities: The rural nature of Greensburg area camping provides good wildlife observation chances. Dave V. reports, "Deer sighting were plentiful as were chattering tree rats...ahem, squirrels, sorry. Woodpeckers stayed busy overhead. At dusk an overly friendly 'masked trash panda' encroached seeking to share my delectable and perfectly toasted s'more."
Quiet weekday camping: For those seeking tranquility, midweek visits offer significantly quieter experiences. "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," shares Carolyn M. about Hidden Paradise.
What you should know
Advance planning for FHU sites: Full hookup sites are limited at many campgrounds. Joe B. noted about Brookville Lake, "Full hook ups are limited, but we were happy with a power site. Plenty of bathrooms and shower facilities."
Season variations across campgrounds: Operating dates differ between facilities. Thousand Trails Indian Lakes runs from "April 1 to November 1" while other campgrounds like Versailles State Park remain open year-round.
Variable road conditions: Internal campground roads range widely in quality. At Indian Lakes, Nick & Allyssa S. observed, "Completely inundated with annual spots being reserved by weekend warriors meaning minimal availability for people who want to be here during the week."
Site slope challenges: Many area campgrounds have uneven terrain. Burns G. warns about Versailles State Park Campground, "Some sites are not level at all. So be sure to read up on the site you want before you book it."
Tips for camping with families
Playground accessibility: Position your site near playgrounds for convenience. Heidi D. noted at Brookville Lake, "Hard to get a site next to the playground - it's kinda out of the way."
Entertainment options for rainy days: Some facilities offer indoor activities during bad weather. Hueston Woods State Park Campground has "a nicely equipped activity room for older kids complete with numerous arcade games, pool table, and ping-pong table," according to Dave V.
Beware of bold wildlife: Several campgrounds report animals accustomed to humans. Dave V. cautions, "At dusk an overly friendly 'masked trash panda' encroached seeking to share my delectable and perfectly toasted s'more...having to be chased off (unfortunately, it appeared he has been fed by campers to be that bold)."
Consider cabin options: For those new to camping or without equipment. Angela H. shares about Hidden Paradise, "The campground also has fabulous cabins at a reasonable price. Our friends without campers join us in the cabins."
Tips from RVers
Site selection for large rigs: Moccasin Meadow accommodates big rigs better than some smaller campgrounds. "There are spots available from primitive tent sites, to full hookup (when available)," notes Brandi M.
Entry navigation challenges: Some campgrounds have challenging arrival procedures, especially at night. Douglas T. advises about Hidden Paradise, "While the campground sign can be seen from the main road on the way in- it all disappears in the dark after you turn onto the road. It needs to be marked better. Had there been arrows or signs it would have made it SO much easier."
Dump station timing: Plan departure time considering potential wait periods. At Versailles State Park, Jessie W. warns, "There is only one dump station for the three campgrounds so there can be quite the line when trying to get out of there on a Sunday afternoon."
Laundry limitations: Facilities may be inadequate for longer stays. At Indian Lakes, Emerson F. notes, "The other thing that wasn't really an issue for me (due to being off season) were the limited amount of washers/dryers for the size of the campground. I can't imagine what it's like during peak season."
