Best Cabin Camping near Mooresville, IN

358 Reviews

Several cabin camping options surround Mooresville, Indiana, with both rustic and furnished cabin rentals available at state parks and private campgrounds. Brown County-Nashville KOA offers three cabins with clean facilities, as noted by a visitor: "This is our go to campground. Not overly large but it's clean and quiet. Three cabins also available." Indianapolis KOA in Greenfield provides pet-friendly cabins with nearby amenities including a camp store with an ice cream shop. Acacia Farms features private cabins with basic amenities like drinking water, fire pits, picnic tables, and access to showers and toilets. Most cabins include electricity, while heating and air conditioning availability varies by location. Yellowwood State Forest and Turkey Run State Park also offer cabin accommodations with access to hiking trails and outdoor recreation.

Rustic log cabins and deluxe units with more amenities represent the range of options available to visitors. Many campgrounds operate seasonally, with Indianapolis KOA open from March through mid-November and Brown County-Nashville KOA available from April through November. Pet policies vary by location, with some cabins explicitly welcoming dogs and cats. According to one reviewer at Jellystone Campground, "There are also cute cabins available as well," though they noted the campground felt empty during their visit despite most spots being reserved. Advance reservations are strongly recommended, especially for weekend stays during summer months when cabins book quickly. State park cabins may require an additional entrance fee of $7-9 per vehicle.

Most cabin rentals provide beds with mattresses but require guests to bring their own linens, pillows, and towels. Kitchen facilities vary widely, from basic fire rings with grill grates to cabins with refrigerators and microwaves. Visitors should pack cooking utensils, dishware, and food supplies, as on-site stores typically stock only limited essentials. Firewood is available for purchase at most locations, though prices and availability fluctuate. Camp Buckwood and S&H Campground maintain on-site markets for basic provisions. For more extensive grocery needs, the town of Mooresville has several supermarkets within reasonable driving distance of most cabin locations.

    Hardin Ridge

    Hospitable Woods Experience

    This campground is nestled on a ridge above Indiana's Lake Monroe. The wooded sites include a fire-ring, a pole for your lantern and generous flat graveled areas to pitch your tent, as well as a couple of picnic tables per site. There are pleanty of RV sites with electric hookup available as well. Each area of the campground has a knowlegeable courteous full time host, and ice is available at the main gate. Foraging for wood is allowed which is a definite bonus in this era of emerald ash-borer awareness and wood import restrictions. The plentiful raccoons seem almost tame, yet keep a safe distance from campers if you allow them to. There is a small beach to beat the summer heat, and nearby showerhouses (even in the non-electric sites) are kept clean with adequately warm water. There is a small interpretive hike with approximately 300 feet of elevation change situated near the ampitheater that can be completed in a couple of hours.

    Well kept

    Well kept campground. Cleanest campground bathrooms I have ever seen. Friendly staff. Our site was directly beside a tiny cabin and could have been a little bigger but that’s what you get often times with RV sites. Unfortunately, witnessed one of the staff members abusing their dog.

    Turkey Run State Park Campground

    Nice Big Sites

    I have to say it is always nice to stay at a state park in the off season. There are a couple hundred sites in this park and we were one of about 12 occupants. Even if this park had been full, the sites offer nice space. Sites vary from full shade to wide open out in the sun. Bathrooms are clean, but they are pretty spread out. Most sites offer electricity, but no water or sewer hook-up for RV. Water spigots are pretty spread out too. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring. I didn't see any camp hosts that sold firewood when office is closed. Park is located right across the street from the local high school, I thought this was sort of odd.

    We were just passing through for a nights stay, but it looked like there were some nice trails for hiking. The children playgrounds looked nice as well.

    Mccormick's Creek State Park Campground

    Beautiful state park but sites are too close/visible to each other

    There is just one thing that keeps me from rating this a 5 star campground. It's the sites!  So....4 stars...but read on for my thoughts on the sites.

    What's up with these sites?

    • If you want to be be able to see what your neighbors are eating and hear their conversations, you'll love the electric sites (1 through 189).

    • If you like to feel like you're alone in the woods, you won't like most of the electric sites. 

    • There is a partial solution. Sites 190-202 have no electricity, but most are fairly private/secluded. Sites 203-222 are additional primitive sites on a loop but they are not at all private; you can see lots of neighboring sites. There's a lot of shade, but you could probably set up solar panels if you require electricity.

    • If you want privacy in the electric section (1-189), I don't have a great recommendation other than you should stay on the outside of the loops. Then you'll only have people beside you rather than beside and across from you.

    Good luck! Stay one night when there aren't many people and scope out sites for your next stay. If you're from the area, this could be a park worth returning to over and over if you are able to stay on a site you enjoy.

    I've included a map of sites 1-189 and photos that show some sites I like and sites I don't like. In my opinion, a site is not one for me if I can see 3 other picnic tables while sitting at the table at my site. If you camp with other families, this would be good because you can make your own 'group' site.

    Something you need to know: Indiana state parks have a $7 entry fee but you'll only pay it once (unlike some states that make you pay every day). It's supposed to be $9 for non-residents, but we were only charged $7. The hang tag for your vehicle will get you in the main entrance for the rest of your stay.

    If you come without a reservation: The registration attendant assigned a site to us but maybe you can choose one. Since it was the day after Labor Day and the park was sparsely populated, there was no one near us. Privacy was not an issue for our stay, but we wouldn't have enjoyed our site on a busy weekend...although there were many sites we would have liked even less.

    The basics: picnic tables, fire rings, dump station, potable water, flush toilets and sinks in the bathrooms, separate shower facility. There are vault toilets closer to sites 190-222. Sites 1-189 have electricity.

    Activities: Nearby swimming pool and playground. There are almost 11 miles of hiking trails. The longest one is 2 miles, but you can combine some trails and wander in the woods for quite a while. You can also wade in McCormick's Creek; the water was low in early September. You can stay busy in this park for quite a while. And if you want to go to Bloomington, it's only about 25 minutes away

    Yellowwood State Forest

    Quiet, Peaceful, and Primitive

    Yellowwood state forest campground does not accept reservations. It is first come, first served. Drive up, select your site, and then go to the park office to pay using a self-pay envelope. Bring exact change(cash). Current prices are listed on the Indiana DNR website. The park office does have firewood for sale, but only during open hours, which are limited. There is no camp store, no playgrounds, and no pool. Swimming is not allowed in Yellowwood lake. Each site has a fire ring with grill grate and picnic table. There are four campground loops and a horseman’s campground. Campgrounds have vault toilets and drinking water access. I do not know if water is turned on year-round. There are no modern restrooms. Sites are wooded and fairly level. All sites are primitive. We have only tent camped at Yellowwood, so I can’t say what size travel trailers would fit in the sites. Yellowwood road changes over to gravel once you enter the state forest. It is well maintained. You can also access the forest by Jackson Creek road, but you’re on gravel for longer, and I seem to remember it being a bit rougher. We have camped at Yellowwood several times between 2011-2018. The only time we have ever seen the campground busy is over big holiday weekends like Labor Day, Memorial Day, and 4th of July. Otherwise use is light. We have several times been one of two or three campers in the loop. Several trails are nearby in the state forest, including the Tecumseh Trail. Horse trails are also available. Yellowwood lake is adjacent to the campground and there is a boat ramp, but there are limitations on boating(motor size). Check with the DNR website. Camp here if you like quiet, peaceful camping. You won’t run into a bunch of loud partiers.

    Turkey Run State Park Campground

    Large campground with spacious sites

    This campground was reasonably priced, had clean facilities and quite unusual and intesting hiking nearby. There are multiple trails and some quite challenging ones. No water hookups at the site but all except the "youth sites" had 110, 30, and 50 amp power. I was able to charge my ev without issue. Sites tried from all concrete to a dusty dirt and rock tent area, and all had old wood picnic tables. While the hiking was incredible, the maps of the trails were poor and not up to date, with some trails not on map at all. On one trail part of it went through box canyons up an active, though trickling, stream bed.

    Turkey Run State Park Campground

    Terrific campground and state park

    We stayed here this weekend and had a terrific time. The weather was very hot but there is a river to tube and canoe in to keep you cool. We stayed at site #35. It is in a very quiet, off the main road, in a circle, in full shade. It’s is very close to the restroom but a distance from the camp store and dumpster. The site was clean and well equipped with a fire ring and picnic table. The site is very uneven. It definitely sloops to the back corner. It’s was difficult to level our camper but we got it in the end. The site was huge but given the unevenness it would be difficult for tents. The campground is family friendly and was quiet at night. There is a lot to do at this state park. We hiked the #3 and #5 trails and it took us about 2 hours. It was very busy but everyone was very polite. It was a great stay all around.

    Turkey Run State Park Campground

    Nice State Park Campground

    Turkey Run State Park. Arguably one of the top 5 state parks in Indiana.

    Lots of hiking opportunities, including the fabulous Trail 3 which should be a National Trail IMO. Go hike early before 10 am. This area gets crazy busy after that. 

    Nice nature center.

    2 covered bridges.

     A swimming pool in season.

     A historic inn with a restaurant. You can rent cabins also. 

    The Lusk home has tours every Saturday in season. 

    The campground is a mile or so west of the entrance to the park.

     Electric only. 270 sites. Water is available.

     There's modern bath houses with hot showers.

     We were site 218, which is technically the Turkey Hollow area. The bath house there was clean. We liked our loop for spacious sites( for a state park).

     The Twin Oaks loop seemed denser.

     There's a double dump near the exit. There's also one dump at the end of a loop by site 60. We were happy the other 4 campers trying to dump forgot about it! 

    Trail 7 access is also at the end by site 44. It's not marked on the map.

     The camp store has the usual camping supplies & gift items. Ice & wood. 

    We enjoyed our weekend here! Even though it rained Saturday.

Guide to Mooresville

Cabin camping options near Mooresville, Indiana include accommodation types from rustic single-room structures to larger multi-room cabins with varied amenities. Located in central Indiana about 30 miles southwest of Indianapolis, the area sits at an elevation around 700 feet above sea level with a humid continental climate. Winter cabin rentals typically require advance planning as fewer facilities remain open during colder months when temperatures frequently drop below freezing.

What to do

Fishing at Cecil M Harden Lake: Access boat rentals and stocked fishing areas at Raccoon State Recreation Area where cabins provide convenient lodging. "I loved this camp ground, there was a beach which was nice and a building to get food. They have a basketball court, and a few trails," notes a visitor who stayed Thursday through Sunday.

Hiking through canyons: The unique geological formations at Turkey Run State Park offer distinctive terrain not found elsewhere in the region. "Trail 3 was nothing special but was relatively flat. It was pretty crowded but people were respectful," shares a camper who enjoyed staying in the park's cabins.

Boating at Yellowwood Lake: Rent rowboats or bring your own kayak to explore the waters near Yellowwood State Forest cabins. A visitor explains, "We have also had lots of fun renting a rowboat, and being out on the water. A few times we have camped in groups and rented an area, and that was also a great time camping with friends."

What campers like

Private cabins: Small farm experiences at Acacia Farms provide a quieter alternative to larger campgrounds. A visitor notes it's "an awesome spot to slow down in the country and enjoy being around some small farm animals."

Clean facilities: Many visitors appreciate the well-maintained bath houses at campgrounds with cabin rentals. At Brown County-Nashville KOA, a repeat visitor reports, "Cleanest campground bathrooms I have ever seen. Friendly staff."

Food options: On-site dining at several cabin locations eliminates the need to cook every meal. At S and H Campground, a reviewer appreciated that "One of the great things about the campground is their dining facilities and all the activities they have for kids."

What you should know

Seasonal availability: Many cabins close during winter months, with most facilities operating from March/April through October/November. Indianapolis KOA operates from "March 1 to November 15" according to their listed season.

Varying comfort levels: Cabins range from basic shelters to more equipped units. At Indianapolis KOA, a visitor mentioned, "Loved our cabin so cozy" while another noted its convenience: "Used this campground as a home base to visit downtown Indy. 20 minutes to downtown attractions."

Wildlife considerations: Secure food and trash properly as raccoons are common visitors at cabin sites. One camper at Raccoon Lake advised, "Be prepared for the Raccoons and tons of fun! Beautiful lake with several nearby places to rent boat's!"

Tips for camping with families

Water activities: Pools and beaches provide entertainment for children at many cabin locations. S and H Campground has "a pool which looked clean and well maintained" according to a visitor who noted it's "mostly RVs" but cabins are available.

Structured activities: Weekend programming at several sites includes organized events. A visitor to Indianapolis KOA reported, "The reason I was impressed was, let's be honest, KOA holiday campgrounds tend to be loud and obnoxious. This isn't a huge campground though, which kept those things in check."

Kid-friendly amenities: Playgrounds and recreation areas keep children entertained between activities. At Cagles Mill Lake, a visitor confirmed it was "family-approved by my kin. There are rapids by a huge ridge near the lake."

Tips from RVers

Firewood considerations: Costs for firewood vary widely between locations, with quality differences worth noting. One camper at S and H Campground cautioned about "wood prices. The bundles were $6.50 each and the entire bundle burned in about an hour. It can get expensive quick!"

Site selection strategy: Request specific cabin locations based on proximity to amenities or privacy needs. At Turkey Run, a visitor who stayed in site 94 appreciated that it "had almost a whole extra campsite's worth of space next to it for my kids to run around. It also had a tree for shade and was nice and level."

Winter utility limitations: Some cabins lack heating or have reduced amenities during colder months. At Camp Atterbury Campground, a visitor mentioned, "Clean area with lots of amenities. They stack free firewood at your campsite to burn."
