Guideoverall a good place, the group site are fairly large and have running water and compost latrines. Parking is not on site but only a short walk. Lots of trail access. fishing at a stocked public lake is a short drive.
GuideCamp sites are pretty small, but are aligned along a small stream. Heavy truck and train traffic can be heard at all hours. Sites equipped with electricity, a gazebo & picnic table, and fire pit. Camp store, cave tours, gift shop, and other pay activities are within steps of camping, but only open until 5:00. No security or staff at all after hours. Bath house was heated, extremely clean with flush toilets, and continual hot water. City water access in the middle of the campsite. Play area and 2 large covered areas for get together's. Newer cabins looked very nice from outside. Caves are obviously a must see while there. More caves are within driving distance.
GuideObannon Overall, this is a nice state park to camp in. Staff was very friendly. They have ice and wood. My kids enjoyed the nature center, pioneer village, and one of the easy trails.
We stayed in 220. It was nice to be right by the playground and bathrooms (which is what we wanted). Some spots near the back would be nice and secluded like the 180s and 190s and they’re still not too far from the bathrooms and playground. The better playground is in loop A.
I will say, I didn’t see any staff members cleaning up trash, getting campsites ready, or anything the 2 days we were there. Even though we went in November, it was a nice weekend and wasn’t dead, so I was surprised I didn’t see anyone cleaning. Wasn’t the cleanest state campground we’ve been at in Indiana. Certainly wasn’t awful though either.
My biggest gripe was they were hosting a huge cycling group. Like the whole loop A. We were all the way back in C. They held a concert that went on from like 8-11 pm. Being in a pop up, it was so loud and never ending. Made it difficult for my kids to sleep. If they’re going to hold (or allow) events like these, it should be posted on their website. Even with our sound machine, we still couldn’t block it out. I realize quiet hours aren’t until 11, but to me there’s a difference.
There is also hardly any signage and spots are difficult to find. No arrows about which way to go, signs saying which loop you’re in, and spots are only marked on the electrical boxes.
Overall, may stay again and try out the pool since we’re not too far from home, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to stay here.
ScoutStarve Hollow offers camping from full hookup, electric only (by the lake), tent camping, and cabins. The lake has a swimming area (no lifeguards), playgrounds, and bathhouse. The lake allows boats with electric trolling motor only.
We stayed in the full hookup section (camping facilities: electric, sewer, and water hookup as well as fire ring, picnic table, and parking spur at each site. Modern restrooms/showers(wheelchair accessible) are available nearby. 53 sites available, sites 222, 232, and 234 are wheelchair accessible). The bathhouse was clean (even though it rained most of the weekend). these sites are a good size and able to get any size Trailer or RV into these sites. There is mostly grass on most of the sites in this area.
The campground also offers electric only sites (camping facilities: electric hookup, fire ring, picnic table and parking spur at each site. Drinking water is available in area. Modern restrooms/showers(wheelchair accessible) are available nearby. Dumping station is available. There are 87 sites available. Sites 28, 44, 65, 75 and 90 are wheelchair accessible). They have about 20 sites that back up right to the lake allowing fishing from your campsite. Keep in mind that a lot of the electric only sites are very tight with a lot of trees in the area. I can probably only get my 36 ft 5th wheel into a third of the sites, but there are many of sites that had shorter units on them.
Cabins: Starve Hollow has 13 rent-a-camp cabins available March-Nov.(closed Dec.-Feb.)(NOTE: Local sales only during off season/winter months, contact property for details). Each cabin has a front porch with a swing, outside electric outlet and front porch light.

Hiking Trails Starve Hollow has several hiking trails to explore that total approximately 11 miles.
TravelerTent sites: steep hill with rodents living there. Gravel driveway leading to tent sites: a trench sure to rip the exhaust off your car. The RVers and workers: they make it obvious you are beneath them. Pets allowed: you WILL be up all night with the barking chihuaua on the next site. Airplanes flying over head as you are getting ready to sleep. Traverse the lawn to the faraway bathroom to ruin your shoes at 2am. Laundry on-site but the workers will scowl while you use it. Catch all this ire for the grand old price of $50+ per night.
GuideThere are full hook-up sites and electric. Regular electric sites on the water are beautiful but not sure we could park our 41 ft fifth wheel on a water site. Trails are rugged at times and you can access them through campground. We are here in the fall but the beach looks like a good size. Boat rentals. Cabins look cute. We peeked in one. Double bed with bunks in room. Theres a loft for kids. A/C and heat but not bathroom. Bring a mattress or sleeping bags or you will sleep on wood. I recommend the water cabins. Playgrounds are sprinkled throughout. DNR dont patrol a lot. Quiet campground.
RangerWE went to this KOA during the kentucky derby weekend, so of course you can expect it to be packed, we made reservations months ahead. When we got there is was not only packed, but there was no one enforcing the quiet hours, and it seemed like the cleaning staff could not keep up. There were loud people all through the night, and trash was overflowing everywhere. I'm not sure what it's like during other weeks of the year, but during the kentucky derby week it is a hot mess.
TravelerFun little place. RV sites and tent sites lakeside. Fishing, ducks. $5 swimming pool nearby. $20/night tents. Showers and restrooms. Nice parks nearby for equestrian, playground, disk golf course. Huge mall nearby in Simpsonville KY. Drivable to Louisville. Stop at Wings n Rings, yum. Highly recommend. Closes for winter Oct 31 to tents.
LegendIf you are looking to be close to downtown Louisville, this is the campground for you. The staff was super nice and the location is very convenient for getting downtown. It's basically just a parking lot. Also, there is a train that runs behind the campground all night long. Keep that in mind if you are a light sleeper! There is a gas station on site which made filling up propane and gas super easy. The laundry was amazing - cheap and 6 washers and dryers. I was able to get completely caught up on laundry! We rode bikes to downtown Louisville from here and had a great afternoon. There are also neat places to go on the Indiana side of the river. All in all, we had a great stay and if we are ever in the Louisville area again we would gladly stay here for the convenience.
Henryville, Indiana offers diverse camping environments across the Clark State Forest region, ranging from lakeside sites with fishing access to wooded campgrounds with hiking trails connecting to broader wilderness areas. The area sits within the Knobstone Escarpment, characterized by steep forested hills and valleys with elevation changes of 300-400 feet. Many campgrounds provide tent and RV accommodations alongside cabin and yurt camping options that cater to different comfort preferences.
Hiking challenging trails: Clark State Forest features rugged hiking paths with significant elevation changes, giving visitors a more strenuous experience than typically expected in Indiana. "The Knobstone trail is at the start to a Fifty mile trail or you can do the Delaney Loop in about 6 hours (7.5 miles and 2000 ft elevation change) a good challenge for all ages," notes a camper at Delaney Creek Park.
Exploring historic ruins: Beyond the popular Rose Island trail, O'Bannon Woods State Park Campground offers visitors access to a pioneer village and fire tower. "We enjoyed trails, big lots and lots of stuff for the kids to do," mentions one visitor who spent five nights at the park, while another noted they "enjoyed the nature center, pioneer village, and one of the easy trails."
Fishing and boating: Several area lakes support active fishing programs with boat rentals available. At Starve Hollow State Rec Area Campground, visitors can enjoy "a beautiful lake with geese nesting areas and great fishing opportunities. Calm waters for kayaking." The lake "has three boat ramps to choose from, one at the dam and two in the electric campground. Kayak, rowboat and canoe rental is available."
Lakefront camping sites: Many campgrounds feature premium sites directly adjacent to water. At Starve Hollow, campers appreciate that "all the lake front spots seem to have a good amount lakefront footage. We probably had at least 40 feet." Similarly, at Wooster Campground — Hardy Lake State Recreation Area, "The Wooster Bay primitive area allows campers to moor their boats overnight. It has a very relaxed atmosphere."
Privacy between sites: Natural vegetation creates space between campers in many locations. "Down in the hills and hollers, is this beautiful campground and park...very clean and super friendly staff," notes a visitor to Delaney Creek Park, adding "The primitive camping sites looked a little more spaced out." At Clark State Forest, campers mentioned it was "very dead and very quiet" during their tent camping experience.
Yurt camping options: For those seeking a glamping experience near Henryville, Indiana, several parks now offer yurt accommodations that blend comfort with outdoor immersion. While traditional camping remains popular, yurt camping in Henryville provides weatherproof shelter with amenities. "They added a new saltwater pool, deluxe cabins, deluxe camping sites," notes a reviewer at Scottsburg/Raintree Lake KOA, which offers structured yurt-style accommodations.
Entrance fees beyond camping costs: Some parks charge day-use fees in addition to camping rates. As one camper at Charlestown State Park Campground notes: "Be aware of an additional $9 fee at the gate besides the camp fee." This can affect your overall budget planning.
Variable site levelness: Many campgrounds feature sloping terrain that requires leveling equipment. At Delaney Creek Park, one camper warned: "Every lot slopes down towards the lake. If you have levelers, should not be a problem, but be sure to bring extra, because it's a good 3" to 5"." They added their class C motorhome "had to raise the back end (facing the lake) off the ground with our hydraulic levelers."
Airport noise impacts: Some campgrounds experience periodic aircraft noise. At Horine Reservation Camping at Jefferson County Memorial Forest, campers should note: "This campground rests below the route to Louisville's international airport. For a hour or two in the morning and in the afternoon huge jets fly right over the campgrounds." Another camper explained: "UPS releases about 100 planes from around 3-5am."
Multiple playgrounds: Starve Hollow State Rec Area provides numerous play areas throughout the property. A visitor documented "a wheelchair accessible playground, basketball goals, softball fields, horseshoe pits and a sand volleyball court are located on or near the swimming beach." Another mentioned that "There was a huge swimming beach, and picnic area."
Nature centers with programs: Several parks maintain educational facilities with ranger-led activities. O'Bannon Woods features a "nature center was basic but well prepared with critters and educational items," according to one family. Another added they "had a wonderful time and plan on returning many times to hike all the trails."
Boat rentals for kids: Accessible water recreation exists for families without their own equipment. At Delaney Park, a camper mentioned it's "a great family place, nice cabins, good fishing and lots of boats to rent or bring your own." The property maintains multiple options for getting on the water with children of various ages.
Hookup locations: Non-standard placement of utilities requires advance preparation. At Delaney Creek Park, a camper warned: "The electric and water hookups are not in standard locations for RV hookups. Make sure you bring an extension for your electric hookup, otherwise you might not be able to reach the post. Same for water hookup."
Big rig accessibility varies: Some campgrounds have limitations on maximum vehicle lengths. At Jackson Washington State Forest, a reviewer noted there are "several RV sites (10 to 15) available most are pretty level" but cautioned the sites work better for smaller units. When staying at Scottsburg/Raintree Lake KOA, an RVer reported: "They were able to accommodate our 44ft 5th wheel and navigating to the site was simple."
Technical assistance: Some campgrounds provide maintenance support for RV issues. At Scottsburg/Raintree Lake KOA, a camper reported: "They even have an on-site RV Tech that works for them who helped us fix our hot water heater. Very professional young man." The campground also offers "high-speed Wi-Fi that actually works" according to another review.
