    Lynnville Park accepts pets at all campsites with electric hookups and water access. Located directly on a small lake, the campground features spacious sites with good separation between neighbors for dogs that need their space. The grounds remain open year-round with registration available through an honor system after hours. Highway noise from nearby I-64 is noticeable but not overwhelming for most dogs. Primitive sites sit closer to the water's edge, providing scenic views for campers with pets. Scales Lake Park, just south of Lynnville, offers additional pet-friendly camping options with both primitive sites and full hookup RV spaces. Sites at Lynnville are big enough to accommodate larger rigs despite being a small municipal park. ['Registration for pets is included in the standard site fee with no additional charges.'] The park's lakeside location proves popular with fishing enthusiasts who bring their dogs along.

    Miles Landing Campground provides excellent pet-friendly accommodations within reclaimed woodland areas approximately 3 miles from the interstate. Full hookups are available at every site, with camping areas situated among trees and near fishing ponds ideal for dogs who enjoy water. Pets must be leashed throughout the campground, and campers should be vigilant about ticks which are prevalent in the wooded areas. The campground features extremely clean, modern shower facilities accessible to all campers with pets. Sites are generously spaced for privacy, making this a good choice for dogs that need room to relax outside. The surrounding reclaimed mine land includes numerous ponds and young forest growth, creating interesting walking opportunities. Several miles of paths wind through natural areas perfect for daily dog walks, though no designated off-leash areas exist within the property boundaries. Most sites accommodate any size RV or tent camping setup with pets.

      Tipsaw Lake

      Great Camp Spot for Families

      Besides picking the only weekend where the camp had plumbing issues… my 4 year old daughter and I loved this place. This was my first time camping in Indiana and it did not let me down! The rangers were very nice and was pleased to answer any of my questions, the lake and bathrooms were clean and the place was nice and quiet. I’ll be back again.

      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 .

      West Boggs lake is near the heart of Indiana's Amish country. It has a great lake that has good fishing and the ability to put your boat out. Pets are welcome. They have sites for all forms of camping. We tent camped and had electric and water at site. Great place to ride you bike and visit others.

      Scales Lake Park

      Excellent Primitive Site

      This was our first time camping and I must say I absolutely loved our site. We were on a primitive site number 109. Though the ground was a little rocky the lake views were spectacular. There was a porto potty in walking distance. When we first arrived it was pretty clean but after the weekend it was really bad and ran out of toilet paper. But the bathroom facilities by the slide were great you just had to drive to it from the primitive sites. Water slide was a blast and loved the petting zoo, also the volleyball court was a fun addition too. Though a little close to the road. All in all we will definitely be staying there again.

      Warrick County Park Scales Lake Park

      Peaceful But Plain

      A very peaceful place to camp with helpful rangers. There was a free petting zoo which was great but the animals seemed very discontented. The trails were interesting but vacant of trail markers and some plaques were vandalized from years before. Firewood is $8 a bundle and parking is $3 a day. Well priced and serene, but I would recommend this for people without children or someone looking for a camp away from any kind of excitement.

      Sycamore Springs Park

      Friendly, quiet and clean

      My wife and I went to Sycamore Springs Park a few weeks ago and stayed for 3 days. We tent camped and it was fantastic. We were right at the lake edge. The campsite had electric but no water, but the water was just across the road at a shelter. The park assigned campers to where they were distanced from each other due to COVID. The showers were the best I've seen, clean and strong pressure. It is also pet friendly. Our Golden loved the camp and the lake. I recommend this camp to all who want a quiet get away.
