      Off The Trail Campground

      Great place for Jeeping

      Spent the weekend at a campground that’s a little different from the places we typically stay, and it was a fun change of pace!

      Off the Trail Campground in Attica, Indiana, is located on the same property as Badlands Off Road Park, home to a Jeep Badge of Honor trail. The park offers trails for Jeeps, dirt bikes, ATVs, and side-by-sides, with a huge variety of terrain to explore. From a rock quarry and river trails to tight, technical wooded trails and sand dunes, there’s something for just about every off-road enthusiast.

      For our stay, we booked a buddy site, which provides a large shared grassy area with a fire pit and multiple picnic tables. Each site has full hookups with 50-amp electrical service, water, and sewer. The campground also has a nice office store and a very clean bathhouse with showers.

      One thing to keep in mind is that this campground is part of an active off-road park. There’s quite a bit of traffic, and you’ll hear loud vehicles throughout the day and into the evening. If you’re looking for a quiet, peaceful camping getaway, this might not be the best fit.

      However, if you’re a Jeep or 4x4 enthusiast, you’ll probably love it! It’s a lot of fun watching all the different rigs come and go, and the access to so much off-road terrain makes this campground a unique place to stay.

      Overall, it was a different kind of camping experience for us, but one that’s definitely worth considering if you enjoy off-roading!

      Cecil M Harden Lake Raccoon State Recreation Area

      Site 293, Raccoon Lake (Cecil M. Harden Lake), IN

      50A service, no water or sewer at the site. Fill your fresh tank on the way in. There’s a dump station on the property, so emptying on the way out is easy.

      Site is mostly level with partial shade. The approach is the one thing to watch: 293 isn’t angled off the road, so it’s a tighter back-in than most. We’re towing a 33’ Airstream Classic and made it first try with no issues, so bigger rigs can absolutely get in here. Just take it slow. Once parked, there’s plenty of room, and the spacing between sites is better than most state park campgrounds we’ve stayed in. Bathhouse is only a few sites down.

      Cell signal ran about 2 bars. We’re on Starlink so it didn’t matter, but plan accordingly if you work from the road.

      Park staff are the highlight. Stephanie checked us in and could not have been more accommodating. Friendly, quick, genuinely helpful.

      I’d stay there again

      Chris likes to run a tight ship, but she has a good heart. There are so many activities in the summer for kids it’s non stop action and for the adults it’s usually just a chill by the fire or lakeside kind of of place. I’m a heavy sleeper so the highway traffic doesn’t bother me one bit!

      Turkey Run State Park Campground

      Beautiful park, loved it

      Great little campground, decently spaced spots and lots of thoughtful people in a great area. Would def come back if I go through Indiana again. The lady who works in the shack quickly changed my site to one that fits my rv after pulling in and seeing it was way too small. Thanks again ma’am!

      Sugar Creek Campground and Canoe Rental LLC

      It was good for a while

      Had a great annual relationship with this campground. When we first started going they did not have their canoes and kayaks service. We had our our own so no big deal. They let us put in and take out. Then they started their livery service. They were hesitant about letting us use they put in and take out spot but since we would help with some of the chores around the campground we built a good relationship with the owners. They once said "you are the only ones we allow to do this" thought that we were sort of grandfathered in at that point. 20 years later....they must have forgotten their words and we were told since we took out our canoes at there site we were not allowed to come back ever again. You word goes a long way in my book and it evidently got forgotten or they just got mean.

      Turkey Run State Park Campground

      Fall colors in bloom!

      Very nice and quiet. Beautiful scenery with nice walking trails. Not sure if it’s due to the government shut down but when we arrived, we had to turn around and go back to the main park office in order to register instead of the little office that is at the entrance of the campground. We are only staying one night and off to our next destination.

      Bachelor Runn Campground

      Run down

      We camped here for a little over a year and the place has gone downhill fast. Property is hardly kept up, owner allows trashy campers yo be abandoned on the property, most of the people camping here don’t pay, loose dogs and cats run around the campground. Price is $700 for four weeks with electric only. Bath house is disgusting. The area and space is nice but that’s about it

    Guide to Lafayette

    Cabin rentals near Lafayette, Indiana vary from rustic to modern, with several campgrounds offering a range of overnight lodging within an hour's drive of the city. The region features rolling hills and hardwood forests typical of central Indiana, with elevations around 600-700 feet above sea level. Most cabin facilities maintain seasonal operations from April through October, though several properties like Turkey Run State Park Campground offer year-round cabin availability.

    What to do

    Creek adventures: Sugar Creek Campground provides direct creek access for fishing and water activities. "We fished in the ponds and my husband caught a bass, and I caught a catfish. It's a nice place to walk around," notes a camper who stayed at Sugar Creek Campground.

    Hiking trails: Turkey Run State Park features challenging trails through unique terrain. "We hiked Trail 3, which has the ladders, and parts of trail 10, 4, and 2. Trail 10 was nothing special but was relatively flat," reports a recent visitor to Turkey Run State Park Campground.

    Disc golf: Bachelor Runn Campground offers disc golf on its former golf course property. "We keep coming back for more. Disc golf. Hiking. Biking. Tent camping. Fishing. Lounging. Driving range. Always something to do," shares a repeat visitor to the property.

    What campers like

    Historic surroundings: Wabash & Erie Canal Park offers unique historic buildings to explore. "We got set up and was able to go for a walk and check out the trails, buildings, and the village. The host was so friendly, she came over and talked and gave us some background on the location," explains a visitor to Wabash & Erie Canal Park.

    Farm animal interactions: Heritage Farm provides a distinctive cabin stay among alpacas. "There are several options available: tent camping (including a tree tent!), RV camping (two with electric hookups), and a 170-year-old log cabin," describes a guest at Heritage Farm Alpaca Experience.

    Private wooded sites: Turkey Run offers secluded camping options. "We were in a wooded section and it was pretty private however our site was pretty sloped. Next time I would probably pick the site on either side of 167," advises a visitor.

    What you should know

    Cabin variety: Bachelor Runn Campground opened in 2022 on a former golf course. "This campground is amazing and relatively unknown. Opened in May 2022, built on an old golf course, it's a must camp spot for avid campers," notes a recent visitor to Bachelor Runn Campground.

    Seasonal timing: Weekday stays often provide more space and quiet. "We arrived on Thursday on April 29th and the place was empty. Some of the sites are pretty close together, but we booked site 41 which is a double site," advises a Sugar Creek camper.

    Wildlife awareness: Watch for local wildlife in wooded areas. "We saw all kinds of birds, turtles, frogs and even a couple snakes," reports a visitor at Sugar Creek Campground.

    Tips for camping with families

    Water activities: Indiana Beach Campground offers family water amenities. "Koa has two nice pools (one large pool for kids and adults and smaller one for toddlers). The IB side has a large mini golf course ($8 for those > 5) and a nice arcade our boys enjoyed," explains a visitor to Indiana Beach Campground.

    Kid-friendly settings: Bachelor Runn Campground provides open spaces for children. "The best thing to do here in my opinion is relax in the shade with and good book while the kids play at the park," recommends a repeat visitor.

    Educational opportunities: Heritage Farm offers learning experiences with animals. "We enjoyed helping to feed the Alpacas– they have over 50. The rooster crowed gustily at dawn (but dawn was after 7 am and we were already awake). Also on the farm is Stormy, the horse, chickens, and some barn cats," shares a family that stayed in the cabin.

    Tips from RVers

    Site selection: Choose sites based on hookup placement. "The sewer hookup was all the way at the end of the site, needed extra extension to hook up sewer," notes a visitor to Crawfordsville KOA.

    Satellite and connectivity: Cell service varies by location and provider. "Good Cell, satellite and myfi reception," reports a camper at Caboose Lake Campground.

    Leveling challenges: Some cabins and RV sites require equipment for leveling. "It's was difficult to level our camper but we got it in the end. The site was huge but given the unevenness it would be difficult for tents," explains a visitor to Turkey Run State Park.
