    Summit Lake State Park Campground welcomes pets at all campsites with water views, mature trees, and level gravel pads throughout its two camping loops. Dogs must remain leashed while exploring the park's walking trails and picnic areas. Kamp Modoc provides pet-friendly accommodations in tents, RVs, cabins, and glamping options with electrical hookups and fire rings. Cornerstone Campground in New Castle allows pets at its 110 sites with full hookups, while Prairie Creek Reservoir permits dogs at their cabin sites along the waterfront. Campers consistently note the spacious sites at Summit Lake provide ample room for pets to rest comfortably while maintaining distance from neighboring campsites. Most campgrounds in the area require pets to be current on vaccinations and prohibit leaving animals unattended at campsites.

    The walking paths around Summit Lake offer ideal terrain for dog walking with several trails circling the lake providing scenic views and opportunities for wildlife observation. Kayaking and fishing are popular activities where leashed pets can accompany owners along shorelines at most locations. During summer months, early morning walks are recommended to avoid heat stress on pets, particularly on exposed sites in Loop A where shade is limited. Area campgrounds maintain quiet hours that apply to pets, with excessive barking addressed by park staff. Many campers with dogs prefer the wooded sites in Loop B at Summit Lake where the additional tree cover provides natural cooling. Veterinary services are available in New Castle and Selma, approximately 15-20 minutes from most campgrounds in the region.

      Hueston Woods State Park Campground

      it used to be so much better

      the 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.

      Hueston Woods State Park Campground

      Great for anyone!

      We 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.

      Great campground

      We 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.

      Hueston Woods State Park Campground

      Amazing.

      I’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!

      Lake Loramie State Park Campground

      Perfect retreat for the family or solo adventure

      Relax on the waters edge in shear tranquility. Perfect beach for swimming, excellent trails for hiking, and awesome lake to boat. Multiple launch ramps provide ease and convenience. Rent a canoe or kayak and head out for some time alone or with your favorite person. The cabins are heated but pets are not allowed. Campground is huge as are the sites. Some are premium, there’s a few ADA and some lakeside making for a great view to enjoy your morning coffee.

      Muncie RV Resort

      Solid choice -- Near Mounds state park, city of Anderson, and I-69

      I stayed with full hookups, but no cable (don't need it, so don't know if it's available) and we weren't close enough to connect to the WIFI (only close enough to occasionally see 1 bar pop up).

      Friendly folks, catch and release fishing pond, and a pond with beach for swimming. Good size playground, jump pad, and off-leash"dog park" available as well.

      On AT&T, I typically had 2 bars and no problem streaming music or browsing Facebook. My fellow travelers, on Sprint, said they had poor reception. I'm guessing 1 bar.

      Worth noting that my wife said the water pressure in the shower house was fairly low. (I shower in the camper, so can't comment.) Water pressure was fine at our site, though. Also worth noting that many of the back-in sites can be pull-through if you get there when it's not busy.

      Thousand Trails Indian Lakes

      Large Campground

      This was my first time visiting. It’s a very large campground with lots of amenities. I’ve noticed a lot of bad reviews on other platforms about potholes and mud, and although some of that is true, it seems to be mostly on the KOA side. 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. It was nice and level, so I didn’t have to do much. I have great service here with my T-Mobile 5g internet as well as my starlink. Because it’s off season, there isn’t a lot going on, but I’m ok with that. I also appreciated the dog park that was well maintained to give my pup some freedom to roam off leash. I would definitely recommend.

      Update: The only negative things I encountered while staying at this campground were the loud golf carts with their music blasting until late at night on the weekends. It seems like the same person would just cruise up and down the roads all evening. The other thing that wasn’t really an issue for me (due to being off season) were the limited amount of washers/dryers for the size of the campground. I can’t imagine what it’s like during peak season.

    Guide to Losantville

    Pet friendly camping near Losantville, Indiana offers a range of experiences across Henry County and surrounding areas, with elevations ranging from 900-1100 feet above sea level. The region features rolling farmland interspersed with small lakes and reservoirs, creating diverse camping environments. Local campgrounds experience seasonal fluctuations with summer high temperatures averaging 85°F and winter lows frequently dropping below freezing.

    What to do

    Kayaking on Summit Lake: Visitors at Summit Lake State Park Campground can rent equipment for water recreation. "Nice spots, fairly flat overall, definitely aim for spots by lake for most spacious and views. Fishing and kayaking is it. Hosts were great," notes Dirty E., highlighting the lake access points.

    Hiking around Westwood Park: The 10-mile trail system offers multiple difficulty levels for day hikers. "There is a 10 mile hiking/biking trail all the way around the lake. There are horse riding trails too," explains Stephen H. at Westwood Park, providing options for multi-use recreation.

    Visiting historical sites: Mounds State Park contains preserved Native American earthworks with interpretive trails. "The hikes around the mounds and park are well laid out and the boardwalk is very interesting. Spray on an extra layer of bug juice because they are thick," advises Shelly S. from her visit to the park.

    What campers like

    Spacious lakefront sites: Campers appreciate the water-view locations at Prairie Creek Reservoir. One visitor, Erik B., shared: "Took my hubby there for his birthday. Primitive tent camping is more than affordable, and the fishing was AWESOME!! He had an amazing time."

    Clean facilities: Campground maintenance receives consistent positive feedback. At Grandpas Farm Camp Ground, Jessica W. noted: "The camp was nice. It has a nice pool and a creek right behind it that you can access from the camp. The bathrooms and showers were clean."

    Family activities: Seasonal programming enhances the camping experience. "Do you have kids? They have it covered, from playground, to lake with inflatables, train rides, Holiday fun," writes Bodean D. about Kamp Modoc, mentioning additional entertainment options like "Cornhole every weekend, Campfires, Holiday Events, Golf Cart Parades, DJ's or Live Bands."

    What you should know

    Site selection considerations: Different loops offer varying terrain and shade options. "I hammock camp so I'm always looking for places that have trees and are pretty. When I arrived I was a little worried because the first loop was flat, grassy and open with very few trees in the camp spots good for hammocks. The second loop had what I was looking for," explains Stephanie B. about her stay.

    Seasonal changes: Early spring camping may have limited services. Marshall P. reports: "We stayed before the peak season opened up. Potable water was available at the entrance but was not on yet in the campground itself."

    Accessibility challenges: Some campgrounds have limitations for larger vehicles. Lisa M. cautions: "I would think a rig more than 31 or 32 feet long would have difficulty maneuvering around the curve at the end of the second loop. We are a 30ft. Fifth wheel and it was pretty tight for us."

    Tips for camping with families

    Recreational amenities: Child-friendly swimming areas provide supervised activities. At Cornerstone Campground, Trevor N. observed: "Beautiful campground. Great for all kinds of camping from primitive to full hook up. Tons of stuff for kids to do."

    Weekend activities: Many campgrounds offer structured programming for children. Amy H. says Kamp Modoc provides "many activities put on by the campground" and features "the pond was great with the inflatables and water toys available for use."

    Safety considerations: Designated play areas are located away from water features. Kelsey R. mentioned about Cornerstone Campground: "The owners are very nice, campgrounds are super clean, lots for my children to do. My only complaint is, it's your typical campground where you're right on top of your neighbor."

    Tips from RVers

    Hookup variations: Electric-only sites may require additional planning for water access. Laura W. warns about Summit Lake: "The water is shared with your neighbor, so be sure to have a long hose."

    Leveling requirements: Be prepared with blocks for uneven terrain. Jon S. shares about Mounds State Park Campground: "Nice state park in Indiana. Only offering electric hook up. Water locations could block traffic if camper does not park accurately."

    Off-season considerations: Services may be limited during shoulder seasons. Natural Springs Resort camper Valerie C. notes: "Bathroom and showers facilities what was working were very dirty. Dump station was so bad we did not stop," highlighting the importance of checking facility status before arrival.
