Best RV Parks & Resorts near Madison, IN

Madison City Park provides 34 Class A sites on the Ohio River with 24 offering 30-amp and 10 offering 50-amp electric service, though sites are placed close together with minimal privacy. Follow The River RV Resort features concrete pads, picnic tables, and fire rings in a spacious layout with good tree coverage. Thousand Trails Indian Lakes, located about an hour from Madison, offers water and sewer hookups with both shaded and open RV sites across multiple camping loops. Swiss Haven RV Resort maintains riverfront sites with full hookups and electric-only options on the banks of the Ohio River, reserving several prime spots specifically for nightly visitors rather than seasonal campers. "Park is well maintained. Nice sized pool and very clean pool area. Lots of space between campers with cement patio, fire pit and picnic table and lots of trees. We had no issue pulling in our 42' 5th wheel," noted one camper about Follow The River RV Resort.

Throughout the Madison area, dump stations are available at most parks, though limited in number—Madison City Park offers a single station that can develop lines during busy Sunday checkouts. Cell service varies by carrier, with Verizon generally providing the best coverage near the river. Several parks operate seasonally, with Madison City Park open April through October. Big rig accessibility varies significantly between campgrounds; while Follow The River accommodates large fifth wheels and motorhomes on level concrete pads, other parks like Madison City have tighter spacing that may challenge larger rigs. A recent review mentioned, "Sites are a mix of tree covered and open with most being relatively level providing a picnic table and fire pit." Pet policies are standard across most parks, requiring leashes and proper waste disposal, though dedicated dog parks are only available at select locations like Follow The River RV Resort.

    Still Waters Campground

    Wonderfully beautiful, peaceful, and friendly

    This campground is located at the mouth of the Elkhorn Creek and Kentucky River. It is extremely popular among locals who want to sit in an tube float and float down the creek to the Kentucky River, a trip that takes approximately 3 to 4 hours. Note you have to bring your own tube. Nearly all of the campsites are spacious and have grass. You can park next to your campsite. The campground is very clean, full of trees and shade, and the lawn is well manicured. On weekends you can find campers playing corn hole and karaoke. Food trucks occasionally set up on weekends. Due to the location, only Verizon and Visible cell phone users have service. There is no local Internet. There are two dump stations for RVs. There is also a hiking trail to the top of a nearby mountain. The view of the Kentucky river is magical. The office is open Wednesday thru Sunday. Use of ground mats are frowned upon as they kill the grass at the campsite but are tolerated for long term campers. They have assorted types of camping sites, including: primitive, water and electric, and full hookup. They also offer daily, weekly, weekend, seasonal, and monthly rates. The public restrooms have no heat and are closed when the weather gets cold.

    Buffalo Trace Park

    Beautiful lake and well maintained park.

    We stayed a few nights at this campground in October.  The campground is made for smaller sizes but we were able to negotiate the main ring road with our 37' travel trailer.  The spot that we had reserved was in an area were we could not get into but we went to the gatehouse and they gave us another spot that was on the main ring road that we were able to park in with no issues.  Cell service was great with Verizon and AT&T service.  The lake was beautiful and the park was well maintained.  Wished the beach, paddle boats, and petting zoo was open...  Still had a great time.  We will surely come back next year when everything is open!!  Had 30 and 50 amp service with water hookups and a dump station at the exit.  Make sure you have plenty of leveling blocks.  We used all of ours and was not level.

    Still Waters Campground

    Great for long term or seasonal

    Lots of run down RV’s and shanty town in the back of the park. More long term renters than weekend warriors. One dump station, no sewage on the sites. One bathroom, for the whole Park. lots of tents sites (that were busy) makes for poor bathrooms. Not to mention its outhouse style with no climate control. 1/3 men’s bathrooms were out of order and 1/3 urinals were too. 2/3 showers where out of order and the two useable toilets, the door locks were broken. No wifi. Fires are allowed. Fire pits are run down so be mindful. 2/5 bars for ATT services. Sites aren’t labeled or labeled extremely bad. Electrical seems very out dated. Make sure you have protection. Over priced at $60 + tax for the night. Scattered shade. Pull through sites mainly. Picnic tables have seen better days (years more like it). Good space between sites and access to the river for water sports. Little lake for fishing. No pet area and strict leash laws. I wanna give this a 2/5 because they were pleasant. They encouraged me to review on multiple sites but I think that would be bad for them so I’ll stick to my main review site. 1/5, if the price was better like 30-40/night maybe 2/5 but for the price of a motel 6 and only electrical and that is sketchy. Save your money book elsewhere or avoid.

    Madison City Park

    Great Ohio River Views

    This spot is perfect for immersing yourself in the local culture of the historic river town of Madison , Indiana. The campground is managed by the City of Madison and is located on prime Ohio River waterfront. The campground offers 34 class A sites; 24 have 30 amp and 10 providing 50 amp electric. Dump station available along with restrooms and showers. No tent camping allowed. Sites 1 through 18: Daily$40, Weekly$240. Sites 19 through 34: Daily$30, Weekly$180. The campground is seasonal running from April through October and reservations can be made in advance by email only madisoncampground98@yahoo.com. Sites are very close together with little privacy however; location is the trade off. You can easily walk to everything; river walk, local dining hot spots, grocery, wineries, brewery, antique stores and several historic sites. The towns architecture is not to be missed...so take a stroll around town. Many activities take place along the riverfront during the season; so plan ahead to make sure a site is available. This is not about the campground...it's all about the location.

    Two Rivers Campground

    Very Nice!

    Two Rivers is a fairly new, city run campground close to I-71 and adjacent to the Ohio and Kentucky Rivers. All sites are FHU, about half of them are pull-through and all are on level pads for the rig with adjoining concrete pads with picnic tables. There is a playground for kids, a very nice bathhouse and free WiFi. We’ve stayed here on our way to and from Nashville and are doing so again this year. Can’t recommend enough!
