    Scales Lake Park

    Nice but Close to Neighbors

    We camped here in the middle of October. The sites are very close together, so when the campsites are full you don't feel like you have much privacy or personal space. It was nice having full hookups for our camper, and there are plenty of hiking trails to get out and explore. Scales Lake is beautiful, my daughter enjoyed the playground and the petting zoo, and we'd probably like to come back, just maybe not on such a busy weekend.

    Harmonie State Park Campground

    Lotsa trees

    Ranger Review: Primus at Harmonie State Park

    I recently visited Harmonie State Park near New Harmony, In. https://indianastateparks.reserveamerica.com/campgroundDetails.do?contractCode=IN&parkId=570048 Just a heads up when camping in Indiana there is a fee to visit the State Parks. I always carry cash for that , laundry and in some states bathroom use. So, the number one thing that stuck out to me about this campground was the shade. For the most part it’s level (floodplain...I saw no standing water) And all the sites are nicely shaded (we are talking full growth) and good size. The sites are electric only, no water, no sewer. There are centrally located water hydrants and a dump station on the way out of the campground. The campground wasn’t very full when we visited, but there is a plethora of activities to enjoy. An Olympic size pool which back in the day my kids woulda loved. Hiking paths (very wide), one right by the campground and a connector trail to the mountain bike trail area. There’s also a bike section on the paved roads. You could spend a comfortable week here and not be bored.

    Product Review: As a Dyrt Ranger I get to occasionally try out outdoor products while camping and this trip I brought along some Primus “kitchen gear” https://primus.us/ . Primus is known for its camping stoves , the kitchen accessories are pretty sweet too. I have the Trailsporks , a long spoon , a spatula for grilling , campfire plates and a campfire knife. These are very sturdy made accessories and pack in my kit without taking up a lot of space. There are a lot of options on the site to fit your packing needs too, from family fireside to fastpacking . I’m building my fireside kitchen kit .

    Top Flight State Park

    This is a huge state park! There are lots and lots of campsites in this state park bordering the Wabash River. Sites are divided into smallish areas some for tents, some for RVs and some mixed. Lots of trees for shade. Bathhouses in each area with showers and toilets. Very clean & well maintained. Some areas with children playgrounds. The park has multiple picnic areas and shelters. There are a couple of ponds. There is a boat launch at the Wabash River. There is a good size swimming pool (though closed at my visit for the pandemic). Park sells firewood for individual fire pits at each site. Electric hookups at most tent sites. Water spigots near each bathhouse.

    Sun Outdoors Lake Rudolph

    Enormous campground right next to Holiday World

    Wow, Lake Rudolph Campground is huge! So huge in fact that we only ever saw 1/2 of it - we never even ventured into the other 1/2 of the campground (the top half of the map, which is probably MORE than 1/2 of the campground). We stayed in a water / electric site in Ornament Circle which was perfect because it was very close to the fishing ‘lake’, bathhouses, mini golf, and tram stop for Holiday World (which is, of course, why we were there). The mini golf (9 hole) was actually a lot of fun, and the fishing pond has a ton of fish in it. We caught crappie, bluegill, and a few smaller bass - but there are definitely some larger bass in there. The bathhouses were relatively dirty, but had free showers and plenty of stalls. We did not visit the campground store or anything in the upper 1/2 of the campground, as I mentioned, so we did not go to the in-campground pool or mini waterpark. The location of the campground is perfect if you’re visiting for Holiday World / Splashin’ Safari.

    Speaking of which, I was a little hesitant about Holiday World as it sounds a little cheesy, but I think it’s one of the nicest amusement parks we’ve ever been to - and we’ve been to a lot! The theming is awesome with each section of the park entirely entrenched in its given holiday (different colors used on fences, the theming of all of the rides themselves, the concessions available, special characters, etc), it was just a ton of fun. We got to the park shortly after it opened, which means we had about an hour in the main park before Splashin’ Safari opened (which was our main focus). I had the grand idea to head straight for The Voyage, which I had heard was the top-rated coaster in the park, and grabbed the seats at the back of the coaster (it’s a wooden coaster, right? you’re supposed to sit in the back).

    Ho-Lee Crap.

    That thing was insane! I have never been on a wooden rollercoaster anything close to that extreme - in fact, all 3 of the famous wooden coasters at Holiday World obliterated most other wooden coasters we had been on. The Voyage in particular, though, is intense. I would not recommend sitting in the back of the train.. hah. The Legend and The Raven are both AWESOME and we enjoyed those more than The Voyage. The new (steel) coaster, Thunderbird, is extremely smooth, especially after riding the old wooden coasters, and it was fantastic - one of my favorite steel coasters that I’ve ever ridden. We spent most of the day at the water park, which was also a great time. The Mammoth in particular was a ton of fun, and unique - it’s a ‘water coaster’ but you sit in a large circular raft (with nice individual seats) instead of the typical in-line 2- or 4-person tube. We really enjoyed that one, though it did break down a few times that day which increased the wait times. The food was decent for an amusement park, and we definitely felt like we got our money’s worth.

    We will definitely be back, and will stay at Lake Rudolph when we return!

    Not for us

    As soon as we exited the highway we were struggling to see though the immense cloud of smoke that was building bigger denser as we approached the park. We quickly learned that this was from all of the camp fires in the park, it was then we realized that this park was a small city.
    The Pro’s - they have every amenity you can think of for everyone including the family dog. The park is located in a cute town with a deep Christmas theme. You will meet a lot of people most of which were great. Bathrooms and other related areas were very clean and well maintained. Daily trash pick up. AT&T cell signal was good.
    The Con’s - There are people every where and it appeared that many of them did not know they were in a family camp while consumed beer after beer cussing at there friends and family while playing there inappropriate music very loud (I’m not saying I think they shouldn’t be able to do this its just seemed out of place in a town themed after Christmas, and in a park called Rudolph lake with a heavy focus on families. I think the park can do a better job of controlling this). The electrical at our site was not working properly and we had to run off of a 110 plug we found. The smoke at night was a little hard on the lungs. There is Wifi but it was virtually un-usable.

    Fun for the Family!

    Very clean campground, with a great family vibe to it! I used to camp here when I was a kid, and it’s still just as wonderful as I remember.

    The staff are incredibly helpful. There are options for all kinds of campers: RVs, tents, cabins. If you aren’t going next door to Holiday World, they have a decent size pool and slides, as well as an arcade and playground. There is a camp store as well as a pizza place located in the center of the campground.

    For the camper who enjoys to be farther from their nearest neighbor, this place may not be for you. While campsites are spacious, you can see and hear your neighboring campers. :)

    Not for Little Kids

    We chose this campground due to its proximity to Holiday World and its family friendly atmosphere.

    The Bad: We took our 5 and 3 year old daughters for their first camp out with the plan to do Holiday World the next day. This place has golf carts zipping all over all hours of the day and night. Apparently it is the thing to do to decorate golf carts with bright lights, blairing music, and megaphones. They even has a golf cart parade that went from 8:30-10:40pm and included thrown candy that ran about 30 feet from our tent! There was no privacy between sites, constant noise, and trash all over the ground! As an advocate for leave no trace camping, I was completely disgusted with the amount of trash on the ground at our camp site.

    The Good (there was some): The shuttle to Holiday World was great, the staff were friendly, they have a great mini golf course that the girls loved, a top notch playground, and scheduled kuds activities (many are free). they also have a pool and water slides, but i cant comment on those as we did not try them.

    At the end of the day, we had a great trip. but if i were to stay here again it would have to be a more secluded camp site without the constant buzz of golf carts. And I sure hope the amount of trash we saw was a fluke.


Guide to Lynnville

Dispersed camping near Lynnville, Indiana offers diverse terrain options across reclaimed mining lands and woodland areas. The region features numerous fishing ponds and lakes throughout Warrick County and surrounding areas, with elevations ranging from 400-600 feet above sea level. Seasonal accessibility varies with many campgrounds providing extended availability from April through October.

What to do

Hiking trails: Harmonie State Park Campground provides well-maintained trails for all skill levels. "They have a nature center in the middle of the campground that is open Thursday-Sunday in the summer," notes Olivia S., who also mentions the park's "Olympic size pool open during summer-has water slide, diving boards, separate baby pool with shade awning."

Lake activities: At Hoosier National Forest North Face Loop Campground, visitors can enjoy peaceful water recreation. "The lake is beautiful, my daughter enjoyed the playground and the petting zoo," shares Rica Z., adding "there's a beach for swimming and a shower house." Electric motors only are permitted on the lakes.

Animal encounters: Beyond typical yurt camping near Lynnville, Indiana, Warrick County Park Scales Lake Park offers unique animal interactions. Keith P. notes, "There is a small petting zoo at the park and in the morning they let the animals out to feed on the grass. So expect to see them in the campground. Harmless and unique."

What campers like

Privacy between sites: Miles Landing Campground offers secluded camping spaces. Doug notes the "great modern sites mostly dispersed" and explains the setting as "in the middle of a large reclamation. Lots of ponds and young trees." This makes it ideal for those seeking peaceful yurt and tent camping options near Lynnville.

Clean facilities: Vastwood Co Park maintains exceptional bathrooms and grounds. Chelsea B. comments, "Friendly staff; trash seemed to be emptied each weekday. Galaxy Pizza is conveniently located within the park - they will even deliver to your campsite!"

Natural water features: Celina Recreation Area provides excellent water access. Shelly S. explains, "The lake is good size, you could paddle to an area and disperse camp to fish or just enjoy the area." The area restricts motors to electric only, maintaining a serene atmosphere.

What you should know

Site spacing varies by loop: At Hoosier National Forest South Slope Loop Campground, the RV section offers different privacy levels than tent areas. Shelly S. explains, "This is the RV friendly campground with electrical hookups for your toys. You give up some privacy and quiet to have your electric as the sites are closer together."

Seasonal bugs: Tick prevention is essential in warmer months. One camper warns, "Take your bug spray or you may be nothing but a dried out husk by the end of your visit, ticks are horrible right now!" Long pants and regular tick checks recommended.

Reservation planning: Special weekend events fill quickly, particularly during Halloween season. Nichole M. at Harmonie Park advises, "Apparently that weekend has to be reserved the day reservations open for it. They had a trunk or treat in the pool parking lot and although there weren't a ton of vehicles, it was definitely enough for the kids to have fun."

Tips for camping with families

Playgrounds and water features: Multiple options exist for families seeking structured play areas. Jessica D. notes that Scales Lake Park has "two playgrounds, little petting zoo for kids. Beach area with small fee. Full hook up sites."

Group camping layouts: Consider site arrangements when camping with multiple families. Dan H. describes Scales Lake's unique setup: "We had 3 RVs in our group and we camped in one of the 'wagon wheels'. It was a very cool experience... The pull through sites are nice, but they were pretty close together."

Swimming options: Several camping areas offer water recreation beyond fishing. Jennifer T. describes Scales Lake as having "a beautiful lake front for swimming with water slide and diving boards. There is a boat ramp for fishing boats and kayaks."

Tips from RVers

Site selection considerations: For RV campers near Lynnville, site layout matters. Olivia S. reports, "There were several different spots/clusters of camp sites. Some where full hook up, some primitive, some just electric, and all mixed together." She adds that "the streets in the town are extremely narrow, making it hard to get into the park."

Hookup availability: Water and electric services vary by campground. Keith P. notes that Miles Landing offers "several pull through sites and all are full hook up," making it convenient for longer stays in larger rigs.

Accessibility concerns: Some areas have challenging terrain for larger vehicles. Never Sitting S. cautions about Miles Landing: "GPS states there is a bridge to the campground, but not true. Can drive directly to it." This information helps RVers avoid navigation issues when visiting yurt camping facilities around Lynnville, Indiana.
