"This is probably the best state forest in the state of Indiana. The property is well maintained."
"Good ground to pitch a tent to."
TravelerFantastic place to camp. Full hookup sites, and tent camp sites on sugar creek. The creek is loaded with small mouth bass, some large mouth, gar, bluegill, and carp. The campground offers tubing excursions, but I advise booking that in advance, as they sell out of spots often. Love going there at least once every year.
TravelerThey used to have awesome tent camping sites, but they stopped allowing tent camping. RV/camper's are the only thing they allow now.

LegendLieber State Recreation Area, Cloverdale, IN is west down I70 from Indianapolis, 2 miles down RT243. Cagles Mill Lake borders the southwestern side of the area.
We arrived to a very quiet campground with few campers. Our site was next to the showerhouse, in the trees and had an attached grass trail out the back. All of the campsites boasted two picnic tables and some were very spacious. The sites were electric only and there were water sites positioned strategically throughout the campground.
The showerhouse was older but maintained. There were also pit toilets throughout the campground( not much to say about typical pit toilets....)
There were primitive sites in the adjacent campground that did not have much tree cover but appeared to be good size sites to set up in.

ScoutNot a lot of tent-camping options, but we found a nice open area not far from the showers. Quiet campground in September. I would do this again...
