4 campgrounds with availability this weekend
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.

Guide⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our First RV Home Has Been Such a Blessing!
My husband and I absolutely loved our first few months here at Friends O' Mine Campgrounds & Cabins as first-time RV owners with our Class A RV.
We downsized from our 5-bedroom home in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri. We sold our home and I followed my Husband back here to Indiana after he received a wonderful career opportunity. My Husband is a Veteran, 🇺🇸 and after moving to Nashville, Indiana, we had immediately fallen in love with this small town - where we respected and admired the way Nashville reminds us of where we had just moved from in Missouri.
We stayed at Grand Wood Suites for six months, after paying for a hotel, all while continuously paying for our two large storage units, as well as our mortgage payment and then rent for most of the beginning of this year; so, we decided to downsize to save money to buy land sooner, instead of continuing to rent. 🏕️ We already loved camping - we started with a pop-up camper on the 🔝 of our Jeep and camped dozens of times, then traded up to a pop-up camper. So we used what we had in savings, bought our Class A RV, donated our pop-up camper, and came to Friends O' Mine - and it was the best decision!
From day one, the other campers have been so friendly, as are the nice employees and amazing owners. They truly make you feel like family. They set up weekly entertainment that brings the whole campground together around the campfire - there is a huge fire in the middle with six porch swings attached to a massive gazebo and veranda surrounding it. It's incredibly cozy and just inviting you to join in.
We've enjoyed live musical singers entertaining us around the campfire all evening, and we were invited to watch a documentary about a local racecar driver in their indoor recreational room, right next to the indoor laundry facilities.
There is also a subterranean pool that my Husband and I enjoyed swimming in almost every day during our first month here - it was very relaxing and refreshing!
One of our favorite parts has been our peaceful, nighttime walks around the large, well-stocked catch-and-release pond. My Husband and I hold hands together and walk around it at sunset almost every evening. It's so serene and calming to hear the sounds of the water and feel the beautiful Autumn breeze.
This has been a very relaxing, enjoyable, and heartwarming experience for us. If you are looking for a clean, friendly, peaceful, and welcoming place to stay - whether for a weekend or for a season - we cannot recommend Friends O' Mine Campgrounds & Cabins enough. We are so grateful we found it!
ScoutBeautiful, great amenities too. Right off highway to travel anywhere
GuideGreat place to stay. Full hook ups, about 90 percent level sites. 33 RV sites and 3 or 4 primitive camp sites. The main bathhouse is pretty clean, included laundry, and a great host and hostess (Mark and Denise). The only bad is the price hikes here. One would think MWR would throw money towards some things...like a dog park, some leveling, lights at the kids playground, and MWR sponsored and paid for holiday parties/outings for vets, retirees, and all the active here on base. But nope, just collecting revenue without any beanies. Anyway, the host keeps it grounded.
Traveler50A service, no water or sewer at the site. Fill your fresh tank on the way in. There’s a dump station on the property, so emptying on the way out is easy.
Site is mostly level with partial shade. The approach is the one thing to watch: 293 isn’t angled off the road, so it’s a tighter back-in than most. We’re towing a 33’ Airstream Classic and made it first try with no issues, so bigger rigs can absolutely get in here. Just take it slow. Once parked, there’s plenty of room, and the spacing between sites is better than most state park campgrounds we’ve stayed in. Bathhouse is only a few sites down.
Cell signal ran about 2 bars. We’re on Starlink so it didn’t matter, but plan accordingly if you work from the road.
Park staff are the highlight. Stephanie checked us in and could not have been more accommodating. Friendly, quick, genuinely helpful.
ScoutGreat staff, super helpful! Put us in their “VIP” spots on the “hill”. Access to the family fun zone including in the stay. So much for our littles to do! And totally safe and clean.
ScoutVery clean. Well kept, mostly full shade . Easy access to ramp on lake.
ScoutThis is a free family church camp that teaches about God and has free meals and fun activities for kids
TravelerGreat little campground, decently spaced spots and lots of thoughtful people in a great area. Would def come back if I go through Indiana again. The lady who works in the shack quickly changed my site to one that fits my rv after pulling in and seeing it was way too small. Thanks again ma’am!
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.
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."
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."
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!"
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."
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."
