Hidden Paradise Campground accommodates pets with clean riverside sites spanning 802 E. Jefferson St in St Paul, approximately 10 miles from Greensburg. Dogs are welcome at all accommodation types including tent sites, RV spots with full hookups, and cabins. The campground features water access via Flat Rock River running alongside many campsites, providing pets opportunities to cool off during summer months. Moccasin Meadow in Greensburg similarly allows pets across its tent, RV, and cabin options with electric hookups and drinking water available. Pets must remain leashed throughout both properties except in designated areas. Campground staff actively maintain order and cleanliness, with pet waste stations available at central locations. Campers regularly mention allowing their dogs to enjoy the shoreline areas.
Walking paths along the river provide exercise opportunities for dogs, though owners should be mindful of wildlife encounters. Thousand Trails Indian Lakes, located in Batesville about 25 minutes from Greensburg, offers additional pet-friendly options with multiple lakes and open green spaces ideal for dog walking. The property features large fields approximately the length of a football field where pets can stretch their legs. Seasonal considerations include summer temperatures reaching the 80s, when access to water becomes particularly valuable for pets. Most campers report respectful neighbors during quiet hours, though occasional weekend noise from golf carts with music can disturb pets sensitive to loud sounds. Clean-up supplies and waste disposal facilities are available throughout the grounds, and campers should bring portable water bowls for pets during hiking or swimming activities.
"Staff is visible and seem to do a good job of maintaining order etc Road Noise: This campground is nicely nestled away from public roads. Through Traffic in campground: No issue."
"This little road is quite narrow, has some pretty tight turns with trees on both sides and in the night it’s hard to tell where the rear end of your camper is on the turns where there are trees close to"
"The only major potholes I have encountered are upon entering and exiting near the ranger station. The lot is gravel and very large for my small rig which was cool."
"Indian Lakes Campground is 10 minutes east of downtown Batesville, an hour to the east of Indianapolis and an hour to the west of Cincinnati."
$33 - $35 / night
"Older Indiana State Park just West of Indiana / Ohio state line South of IH-74. Roads tight and only 1 dump station for 70+ sites (most site are water electric only)"
"This is a great southern Indiana State Park with easy access from US 50."
"This campground is just 12 miles west of Greensburg, IN off I-74, and sits just outside of Lake Santee. (You must have property at the lake to utilize the lake and beaches)."
$57 - $155 / night
"Close to a bigger town, lots of food places and shopping close by. Our family loves this place."
"Also can’t forget the lakeside bar with live music every weekend!"
$33 - $40 / night
"Mounds State Recreation Area located near Brookville Indiana is a beautiful location with camping for tents, trailers and motorhomes."
"Pros: quiet, close to Brookville, lots of trails nearby, nice swimming beach Cons: hard to get a site next to the playground - it's kinda out of the way."
$20 - $35 / night
"If you live outside of Indiana you have to pay a $9 entrance fee on top of the campground reservation fee, which makes for a pricey weekend trip for those on a budget."
"No sewer or water hookup as you would expect at most Indiana State Parks. The sites are extremely spacious and plenty of sites with shade."
$27 - $100 / night
"Very large park with playgrounds, fishing, swimming, creek access, dog park, archery practice area or walk over to the damn."
"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!"
"Best Campground in Indiana"
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.
ScoutWe stayed here on our way to Maine and loved the campground so much we chose to stay again on our way back. Everything was clean and well maintained, staff was very friendly and helpful. The pup loved the dog park.
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.
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.
ScoutOwners are fantastic. They will get to a 5 as they continue their hard work making it an awesome place. New owners took over 4 months ago. They have many activities (was yogi bear till it was sold) put put, bowling, chess, volleyball, fishing. Dog park, Play ground was nicely done. Lake has lots of algae. Pool is brand new. It is by highway however, that did not bother us personally. I will visit again and would consider seasonal. Service id rate them a 5. Wonderful people and the place as much potential.
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!
GuideGorgeous property with such kind and friendly owners. New owners that are making improvements to the property but it is so nice already.
The lake is GORGEOUS. Sites have mature trees, variety of singing birds. Really nice stay here as we were passing through. There is a sand volleyball net, gah gah ball, dog park, playground, mini golf (not ready for summer yet), and a new pool soon (concrete poured the other day).
Campground is a few miles from interstate and right off the highway so some highway noise but still a great picturesque place.
We will definitely stay here again if we are in the area .
ScoutBathrooms = -5 Showers = -100 Staff = 5 Campsites = 2. Could they make the sites any smaller? Camper next to you is right on top of you. Landscaping = 4 - just not kept up well at all. Dog Park = one, and it's a loooooooooooong ways away. I travel full-time. Stay at KOA's all the time. This is, by far, THE WORST KOA I have been to and, no matter what, I won't be back. Seriously bad. There's even a $10 charge if you leave the KOA and then try to return . What? I have to pay to get back to my things? It looks nice with the ponds... but truth be told, THE WORST KOA EVER - it's a dump compared to what is expected from a KOA. Uhg.
Greensburg, Indiana camping options span across a landscape of flat farmland, rolling hills, and deciduous forests at elevations ranging from 900-1,100 feet. The area experiences four distinct seasons with summer temperatures typically ranging from 70-85°F, while spring and fall offer milder conditions with occasional rainfall. Most campsites around Greensburg require reservations during peak summer months and holiday weekends.
Water activities at Brookville Lake: This 5,260-acre reservoir offers multiple swimming areas with a large beach for cooling off during hot summer months. Mounds State Recreation Area provides convenient water access. "Plenty of good camping spots... Huge lake if you want to do any water activities," notes Elana C., who particularly enjoyed the boating opportunities.
Hiking at state parks: The region features several trail systems with varying difficulty levels. At Versailles State Park, campers have access to hiking paths through mature forests. "Love the trails," comments Dan K., while Kristene B. adds "We went on one of the easy trails. Be aware this area is very rocky so easy is relative to the surroundings."
Mountain biking: Several campgrounds maintain dedicated mountain biking trails. Dave V. at Hueston Woods mentions talking with mountain bikers who "spoke favorably" of the trails. Versailles State Park offers mountain biking trails that attract regular events, as one visitor notes: "Loved spending time in the pool and on the trails here...but we happened to go during a big mountain bike event in July. So if you're planning to camp (or even hike) here I'd check the calendar first."
Affordable cabins: For those seeking pet friendly accommodations beyond tent sites, CERA Sports Corporation offers reasonable cabin options. Angela H. at Hidden Paradise notes, "The campground also has fabulous cabins at a reasonable price. Our friends without campers join us in the cabins. All together there were 50+ in our party this year & a good time was had by all!"
Fishing opportunities: Many campgrounds feature stocked ponds or lake access for anglers. Carolyn M. mentions, "Our son fished and we watched random people float down river. It was perfect for overnight stay passing through." At Indian Lakes, one camper notes that "fishing is very good" with "reasonable pricing."
Swimming amenities: Several campgrounds offer swimming beyond natural water features. At Clifty Falls State Park, there's "a very nice pool located close to the campground" with "a walking trail to the pool from the electric loop," according to Jeff W. CERA Sports has a "super nice pool area with a waterslide, diving boards and a unique rock climbing wall in the deep end," as noted by tricia B.
Site leveling challenges: Many campgrounds in the area have uneven terrain. At Hueston Woods State Park, Ko L. shares that "the camp site was ok" but advises not to "expect flush or shower at non-electric site." Similarly, at Clifty Falls, Beverly J. warns that "Site 22 was so sloped our red levelers barely made it work."
Reservation timing: Book early for summer weekends and fall camping. During October, Halloween events fill campgrounds quickly. Dave V. observed: "Unknowingly, it appeared every weekend in October has a big Halloween emphasis, so the upper campground was sold out. I was advised the lower non-electric loop would also be sold out."
Bathroom facilities: Quality varies considerably between campgrounds. At Brookville Lake, Jeff E. reports: "The camp bathrooms are concrete block and pretty clean but old and need updates. Great shower pressure!" Meanwhile, tricia B. describes CERA as having a "clean bathhouse" while Clifty Falls features "a really nice shower house and restroom facility centrally located in the loop."
Multiple activities in one location: Thousand Trails Indian Lakes offers diverse recreation options for families. Debbie S. describes it as an "awesome campground... everything you want to do while on vacation with your family or kids. There are several fishing ponds and a lake with a beach area. There are 2 pools, and a golf course."
Playground access: Consider proximity to play areas when selecting sites. Jeffrey Y. found "LOTS of activities for young and old" at Indian Lakes. At Clifty Falls, Jessie W. advises that "C is our favorite because it is small, and mostly level lots with mature trees," noting the park is "clean and family friendly" with "nice trails and a lake where you can fish and kayak."
Water recreation: Hidden Paradise offers river-based recreation options. Allyson R. shares: "Flat rock river runs by a lot of the camp sites. Makes for a beautiful scenery, good fishing and/or float on it in your kayak or on a raft. Fun for all ages!" Kimberly W. adds: "A quarry full to swim with an aqua playground, with use of free life preservers."
Site selection strategy: At Brookville Lake, Jeff E. advises: "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. The sites are black topped but narrow and short. More problematic is that most have slopes. A few too steep to level a trailer."
Hookup availability: Full hookups are limited at some parks. Jim notes at Brookville Lake "there were very few full hook up sites so need to reserve those early." Meanwhile, Delaware Campground offers electric sites and water hookups with a sanitary dump station but no sewer connections at individual sites.
Arrival considerations: Douglas T. advises on navigation challenges at Hidden Paradise: "It's a big place... Sites are large and easy to maneuver our 42' 5th wheel. Our site had full hookup, flat ground so easy setup. The only cons are - 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."
