    The Charles C. Deam Wilderness offers 36 miles of trails for hiking, backpacking, and horse riding through scenic hardwood forest and varied terrain with views of nearby Monroe Lake. The area was designated a wilderness in 1982 and encompasses nearly 12,953 acres of the Hoosier National Forest. Wilderness designation places this area in a special legal status (subject to the 1964 Wilderness Act). It is managed to preserve a natural condition and provide opportunities for solitude. Since its designation as a wilderness, visitor use in the area increased to a point that significant damage was occurring. Special restrictions are in place to protect the wilderness character. Visitors to this special place are asked to follow these restrictions to lessen your impact and share responsibility in preserving this unique natural resource.

        Large, open, and very clean

        Open areas with pit toilets and water available. Shade and sunny locations. Pick a spot and set up with hammock-large rvs spots. No fee, no reservations, no problems. Officers from federal, state, and local patrol. Cell service by various providers is 1-2 bars. Highly recommend.

        Great for casual/experienced camping and hiking

        A staple of our state here in Indiana. Unfortunately due to some storm damage, trails were rerouted or straight up inaccessible.

        Great places to find and set up camp. We even discovered a few extra hidden sites just by being forced off trails due to the damage.

        Every dispersed camper should add the hikes to the lake to their checklist.

        Great primitive campground

        Spacious sites. Beautiful forest. Quiet, but only 5 minutes small town with gas stations, grocery, etc. Not many amenities. Only pit toilets and water spigots. Firewood was not available during our visit. No reservations. First come first serve, but even on a "busy" Saturday in July less than 1/3 of the sites were full. Two "loops" one in a pine forest below the small lake and one at the lake/up the hill. Multiple playgrounds. Great trails to hike. Cool CCC construction. Highly recommend.

        Great camping with enjoyable amenities

        This is a great family campground with excellent amenities, clean sites and grounds, beautiful surroundings, multiple cabins, pavilions, and a welcoming host office. We would love to visit and stay again. Do not let the short rural entry drive deter you. Yes it's hilly and curvy but take it slow and careful I promise it's worth it. Free firewood is just a bonus. Get a shady spot and enjoy the stay.

        Sycamore Springs Park

        Child’s paradise !

        We went up in June 2024. There are several spots that are in the shade, but some of them are permanent campers. There is a fishing lake and a small river to fish in or wade and swim in. There is a miniature village for the kids along with 20 playgrounds in the campground. Golf carts are available to rent, and I feel are a necessity to get around this large park. There are also large fields to play in. Didn’t use the bath house. The general store has ice and a few souvenirs. There is cell service (AT&T and Verizon) There is also free wood. They have really cool spiral steps that lead up to a walk bridge. They also have a donkey and goats to pet. Altogether a really nice and clean park. Will definitely go again.

        Decent campground, best on weekdays

        Had the typical state park experience. Bathrooms are decent, a little dated but oh well. The weekends in the middle middle of the season are typically busy. Plan your site well, many lack a level spot for tents and have a lot of slope near the pull off.

        Blackwell Campground — Hoosier National Forest

        Spacious Camping

        We really liked the set up of this campsite. The fire rings were spread apart amidst a green hill. There was some shade available around the edges. Plenty of room to spread out from your neighbors; it wasn’t too busy when we were there (a Thursday). Camp accesses two trailheads directly. There were two bathrooms, a place for garbage, and potable water. Screech owls and active birds made it an exciting evening.

        The bathrooms are dirty, showers are full of hair, the toilets are dirty, staff can be rude, not a lot to do besides walk/drive around, not a very fun park if u was to bring ur kids to it, there’s not much to see.

        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.

        Secluded in the woods

        Beautiful secluded site that is pretty far off of the road, but not too far. There was no traffic or other people in site. I have a promaster conversion and had no trouble making it to this site, however the road was gravel and steep at times. I have lived in Indiana for ever and have made many trips this way, but I never knew sites like this existed.

        Taylor Ridge Campground — Brown County State Park

        Meh

         First off- Brown County is a lovely park. This review is only for the campground. 

        The only time we ever camped here was in 2003 when we had 3 kids & a popup. New to the park I thought the Racoon Ridge Loop looked good & picked site 121. Bad mistake! We stayed 3 nights & every night we had a weird thing happen. The worst was the bat that found it's way into the popup one night. None of it was in any way Brown County's fault, but we never went back. 

        We were staying at Paynetown recently & decided to visit Brown County & the campground. The mirror tag helped with this. We visited on a Saturday morning in late June. The whole campground was full & it was jumpin'!

         We skipped Buffalo Ridge. Raccoon Ridge is the smallest loop. Close sites. Our former site 121 has a pit toilet right next to it now. There's several sites along the main road, also very close to each other & right on the road.

         I thought that Taylor Ridge was the best loop based on my memories from 2003. It's really a long warren of close sites, some with terrible inclines.

         I was able to write down a few sites I thought would work- Sites with no one close by: 193/194/266. 

        265 was the only pull thru I saw, but there may be others. 

        End of loop: 317/318 

        Ridge view from your site: 310/311/312/313/314 

        Random sites that looked ok: 179/188/215/223/225/242/259/260/265/277/280/287/422- these sites are just what I eyeballed while the husband was cruising down the main road. 

        We decided we were never going to camp here again. The sites are too close together. There's too many people crammed in a small space. If you go be aware that summer weekends & leaf peeper season will be very busy. The middle of the week or shoulder season would probably be your best bet for a more relaxing experience.

        Yellowwood State Forest

        Just did a drive thru

         This is a State Forest campground near Nashville, Indiana. Primitive camping. Pit toilets only. This is by Yellowwood Lake, so boating & fishing opportunities. 

        All these sites are first come, first serve. No reservations. 

        There's a Forest Office with area information & a small display. 

        There's several trails of varying length. 

        Believe it or not- gold panning is a thing here! You need a permit.

        They rent boats at the Forest Office. Electric motor only.

         There's several camping loops. There's a horse camp also. 

        The boat ramp is near the horse camp loop.

         We didn't go down the Red Pine Loop, but did check out White Oak/Redbud& Black Gum.

         Hickory loop is right off the road & the sites are visible from the road. They looked nicely spaced.

        White oak loop had several nice sites. Redbud is close to a building they call a camp store. It may have been many years ago, but not open now.

         Several picnic spots by the lake. The best site in Redbud would be 39. Large site with some shade. I would also say 38, but site 37 is directly behind it. This is the camp host spot, so occupied. These sites are near the pit toilets.

        The best spot in Black Gum would be site 75. Large site at the end of the loop & right by the lake.

         If you go back to Hwy 46 where the road split on your way in, follow the sign to the dam. Just a large earthen dam, but there's trail heads here. There's the Scarce O' Fat Trail which has been mentioned on the Facebook Indiana Hiking page.

        $13 per night regular camping.$16 per night for horseman's.

        Hardin Ridge

        National Forest

         We did a drive through to check out the campground. It was $8 for day use, self pay.

        This is a beautiful campground. There's 4 loops with 30 & 50 amp. 2 loops with no electric.

         Well spaced all tucked into the trees on a ridge. Also some carry in sites.

         If we tented camped still I'd be in heaven! 

        You can reserve sites, or some are first come first served.

        Shower/restroom with pit toilets scattered around. 

        3 trails. A beach, picnic areas& a boat launch. 

        This seems less popular than Paynetown, but a lot quieter!!

        Paynetown Campground

        Crazy busy on a summer weekend

         This is a SRA on the shores of Lake Monroe by Bloomington Indiana. This is a boating/fishing park. We went on a hot weekend the 4rth weekend in June & it was completely full. 

        There's only 3 short trails. The longest is 1.25 miles. Not a hiking park. 

        There's a visitor center off State Road 446. This is NOT a nature center! Just a place to pick up some information. 

        The marina & boat launch get the most use. There's also a beach. 

        There's a large Class B campground closer to the marina. There's some pit toilets & one flush toilet building. No showers. No electricity.

         There's a large dump station. 

        The electric campground has 227 sites. 3 are handicap accessible. There's also 27 pull throughs. Many have lake access due to camper made trails to the lake.

        We had site 137 which was a good site due to the fact we had no one on the left. There was a woods view.

        Many of these sites have a bad incline & people were putting their rigs sideways on the site close to the road. Our site was no exception, but we were able to make it work. This site also had afternoon sun.

         Restrooms/showers were state park clean. I was impressed with the hard working staff trying their best to give us a clean bathroom!

         The best sites in the campground are 171/172& 153/154. These have a lot of sun, but a stellar view of the lake. 

        132-137 have a trail to the lake. Very bad inclines though. 

        120-124 have trails to the lake & are in the woods. 

        103 is a large site& fairly even with lots of shade. 

        The sites from 180-227 are asphalt with concrete pads. The rest of the campground is gravel. 

        There's 4 carry in campsites for tents that looked very nice. Campsites in the E area have access to a sandy peninsula that was very popular for swimmers. 

        This is known in Indiana as a party park. There's some truth to that. It's VERY noisy & busy on a summer weekend. If you like a quieter experience come Monday through Wed. or wait until the off season.

        Poor management oversite

         I have tried to contact corporate and been ignored.. We  stayed at the Rudolph campsite in Santa Claus Indiana like I stated before we would like a refund for one night and one night of the golf cart as we wound up leaving.  the toilet seat was cracked, which pinched me and one of my Children left marks, there were also mouse droppings in the drawer where the silverware was and stains on the sheets. I have pictures of all this and since nobody has contacting us, I will give it until Monday morning and then I will have my attorney contact them with all the pictures since they don’t want to do anything about this and then I will also be posting with the Better Business Bureau and attaching all the pictures.

        Great 1st experience

        This was my first time at a campsite, so I don't have other sites to compare to. Overall, my experience was great. Clean area with lots of amenities. They stack free firewood at your campsite to burn. I'm military, so the gunfire, canon fire, and helicopters didn't bother me at all. Those things don't happen all the time though.
