Best Campgrounds near Hanover, IN

Huge state park with long roadway to various trails and shelters. The campground is very large and very well kept. All the sites are pretty much the same with good spacing between them. Most are electric only but we got one of the handful of full hookup sites. There is little shade to be found here. Rose Island is very cool- Haunting but sublime. The paved trail to see Rose Island is about 1/2 mile long hill that is very steep in parts. We took bikes and scooters but half of it had to be walked. The campground playground is small,, not much to write home about. Nice flat paved loops and sites that are good for biking. Trails look very nice. Overall it is a solid place that works for a weekend or a few days.

We camped 2 nights and 3 days here.  The campground was pretty nice.  We had a non-electric site (159). It had extra space and was next to the bathhouse.  There were some trees there that my kids could put up their hammocks during the day.  Nice and level and had a large tree there as well.  Was also right next to the camp host site, if that's something that's important to you. 

The bathhouse was really, really nice.  Very clean and spacious.  However, there was no hot water.  I think this was just a fluke, the camp host said they had just had issues with the hot water heater.  We just walked to another bathhouse for a hot shower (those weren't as nice but, hot water so...).  

The park itself is just okay.  The Trail 7 hike was a little disappointing.  You could see the falls but not super well.  It's one that you need to do to see the falls but not my favorite hike there.  The best hike, in my opinion, was Trail 6 to 5, then down to 2, and back up to 5, finishing on Trail 4 at Hoffman Falls.  Lots to see on that hike and not very crowded.

What a wonderful experience, Teri and Mike have a beautiful area tucked away in Northern KY. Plenty of space between campsites! We stayed at Henry's Holler. It's a 4x4 only site. There is a steep hill that you may need 4wd to get up. That being said there are a few more spots to reserve that this is not a requirement. It is so peaceful here. You would never know you were so close to busy areas. Rabbit hash is right down the road as well as Lawerenceburg Indiana. Just a short distance is also Big Bone Lick State Park. If you just want to get away this is the spot for you. The log cabin on site is so cool. Plenty of walking can be done as you meander along some easy trails.

The "outhouse" on site is cute. It is the only bathroom on property. Well stocked and not your typical "outhouse". '. It's adorable. You will have to see it to appreciate it. This is a great alternative to camping at a campground. Note: there is no electric or water. Also pack out what you pack in. You will be greeted with a "welcome" kit that includes a citronella candle, some paper and fire starting accessories. Firewood is available for purchase by the barn. I will definitely be back! Teri communicates very well to make sure all is going well. Don't be afraid to explore this great slice of heaven.
