ScoutTHIS IS A GREAT PLACE TO JUST GET AWAY FROM EVERYTHING AND RELAX. IT IS BEAUTIFUL TERRAIN TO RIDE ATV'S, HORSES, YOU CAN HIKE, FLY KITES, BRING THE KIDS POWER WHEELS OR BIKES YOU CAN EXPLORE THE CREEK OR JUST SIT IN THE SHADE OR NEXT TO THE FIRE AND TAKE IT ALL IN. ITS STILL ONLY 10-15 MINS FROM TOWN IF YOU FORGOT SOME SUPPLIES.
GuideHueston Wood, a real gem. The park is about 3000 acres with a beautiful sailing / fishing lake. There is a beautiful lodge and golf course, archery range, and plenty of hiking paths and equestrian paths.
The biggest issue for us was the description of the site at C36 was nothing like the description. We approached the staff in the office and they expressed no concern in helping us. One camping family left due to the office staff's attitude.
Ok, now for the positive! We met one of the volunteers, Gary, who was able to find us a site to hold our 34 foot motorhome. He made our July 4th weekend, couldn't have been more accomodating.
Sites have 30A electric and there is plenty of potable water available around the campground, just not at the site. Each site has a fire ring and a picnic table. At the A and B loop there was plenty of space around the site to spread out.
The dump station is fairly new and can accommodate 2 RV's. Though most site are grass, some have gravel, but the A loop sites are full hookup and concrete or paved (but not all flat). When setting reservation and with an RV over 20ft, shoot for A or B loop.
The grounds are just beautiful, hiking trails great but not all marked well. A place we will return.
LegendWhitewater Memorial State Park is located close to Liberty Indiana and is our favorite between the two major parks on Brookville Lake. It has water access to both Brookville and Whitewater lakes. The campground facilities are newly updated with two large shower/bath houses. A few of the campsites are buddy sites that allow you to camp with a friend and share the same area. Many fishermen and kayakers frequent the lake trails.
GuideI came here and stayed in my tent (family had their horse trailer with camper) for a night during the chilly nights of October. I wish all campsites were like these - very, very spread out!
Totally makes sense given that you have large horse trailers/campers and also horses at each site, but even then, they were very spread out and had lots of great space to actually enjoy nature.
In terms of trails, there was a starting access point at the horse campground for horseback riding trails that also led to the horse barn, but if you are wanting to hike, you have to drive, unfortunately. Another flaw is that the bathrooms in the horse campground aren't modern and they're pit toilets. Even with the cooler weather, they still wreaked and were not pleasant to use.
ScoutConveniently located just South of Liberty, Indiana. Access to the Brookville Lake. Playground available. Beach area available. Easy to reserve through the In.gov website. Many things to do.
GuideMy wife and I had a great time visiting Hueston Woods and visiting the Raptor Center. Located north of Cincinnati along Ohio’s border with Indiana.
We stayed here with our pop up camper and felt right at home. The bathrooms and shower houses could use some updates and there were no full hook up sites when we went but our site was nice and quiet.
Our dog, loved the miniature golf and visiting Acton Lake.
GuideWestwood is a beautiful well manicured park. The restrooms are very clean. The campsites are, I would say, normal size maybe a little cramped. Enough to park two cars in each site. It’s a small campground with around 33-38 camp sites and it’s first come first serve. No reservations. The lake is nice. Lots of small bass. If you have a boat, trolling motors only. Bank fishing is limited from what I walked but plenty of places you can fish. There is a 10 mile hiking / biking trail all the way around the lake. There are horse riding trails too. I will visit again.
ScoutShort hike to the lake. Great beach area and shower facilities. Pet friendly, horse trails, camp store. Liberty is a short drive and has all essentials plus J’s Dairy Inn 🤤
ScoutVery large camping spots with huge lawns away from lake; This spot was #53. lakeside camping a little more packed in but more shade. Reserve early! Cute beach was easy to get to, allowed dogs (not on sand). Park program happened while we were there - very educational. Highly professionally run, tight security and ample parking. No sparklers. Water lines close to campsites. Wal-Mart close, large Cabelas 45 mins away. Would stay again!

Trail riding: Whitewater Memorial State Park connects to a network of bridle trails suitable for riders of various experience levels. The park features "access point at the horse campground for horseback riding trails that also led to the horse barn," as Brady R. notes, though "if you are wanting to hike, you have to drive, unfortunately."
Fishing opportunities: The lakes near Mooreland provide excellent fishing access. At Summit Lake State Park Campground, campers report "lots of different sites available, some of which are right on the water" according to Dave E. Dirty E. adds that it's primarily a "fishing camp" with "spots by lake for most spacious and views."
Water recreation: Many parks in the region offer water activities beyond fishing. Pine Lake Fishing & Camping Resort provides lakefront access that's "really convenient and close to Indy" as Debbie S. points out, adding that "the lake is fabulous" even though "there didn't seem to be too many fish available for catching!"
Spacious equestrian sites: Horse campsites tend to be more generously sized than standard sites. Brady R. described the Horsemen's Camp, noting "I wish all campsites were like these - very, very spread out!" explaining "totally makes sense given that you have large horse trailers/campers and also horses at each site."
Clean facilities: Westwood Park receives praise for its maintenance. Stephen H. describes it as "a beautiful well manicured park" with "very clean" restrooms. Kelly H. concurs that "the entire park and campground are clean and well maintained" and mentions "the bathhouse at the campground is pretty nice."
Lake access: Proximity to lakes ranks high among camper priorities. At Westwood Park, Greg C. notes the "nice lake for kayaking" while Kelly H. explains it "sits on a really good fishing lake" though warns it "is not swimable, beware of snakes, and does not allow gas motors."
Reservation requirements: Unlike some campgrounds, certain horse camping areas require advance booking. At Hueston Woods State Park Campground, Dave V. warns that during busy seasons, "the upper campground was sold out" and "the lower non electric loop would also be sold out" reinforcing his "gratefulness for midweek camping."
Bathroom considerations: Facilities vary significantly between campgrounds and camping loops. Brady R. points out that "the bathrooms in the horse campground aren't modern and they're pit toilets" adding that "even with the cooler weather, they still wreaked and were not pleasant to use."
Site selection: Choose sites based on your shade and space needs. At Summit Lake, Stephanie B. advises "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."
Kid-friendly activities: Brandie B. recommends Whitewater Memorial State Park for families, noting "it has water access to both Brookville and Whitewater lakes" and many "fishermen and kayakers frequent the lake trails."
Playground access: Several area campgrounds feature dedicated play areas. Kelly H. mentions that at Westwood Park "there is a small playground area for the kids" alongside the clean bathhouse facilities.
Wildlife awareness: Educate children about maintaining distance from local wildlife. John F. warns about Whitewater Memorial: "Watch out for the 🦝 raccoons they are pretty aggressive and were all over our campsite. Clearly they are used to getting handouts, so keep your foodstuffs in you vehicle or well secured."
Site leveling considerations: RV campers should prepare for uneven sites at some parks. Marshall P. reports that at Summit Lake State Park, "our site was a pull through and, while level left to right, required a good bit of leveling front to back."
Utility hookups: Check for power compatibility with your specific rig. Lisa M. explains that at Summit Lake, "sites 1 through 74 seem to be a lot more level and larger, but they were in a sort of an open area with very little shade. The rest of the sites were fairly unlevel, but were in shaded areas."
Size limitations: Large rigs may face challenges at certain campgrounds. Lisa M. cautions that at Summit Lake, "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."
