Several RV campgrounds are located within 30 miles of New Palestine, Indiana, ranging from large full-hookup parks to smaller sites with basic connections. Indianapolis KOA in Greenfield provides full hookup sites with 50-amp service, operating from March through mid-November. S and H Campground offers 450 RV sites with water, electric, and sewer connections on level pull-through pads suitable for larger rigs. Mystic Waters Campground features 150 spacious sites with full hookups for both 30-amp and 50-amp rigs, plus a lake for recreation. Sites at most parks include fire rings and picnic tables, with varying degrees of shade and separation. A visitor commented, "Very friendly staff. The grounds were clean and safe. It's very close to an interstate so it's not exactly a picturesque setting."

Advance reservations are recommended for weekend stays during peak summer months, especially at Indianapolis KOA which fills quickly due to its proximity to the city. Most parks provide sanitary dump stations, and many offer on-site propane service and small camp stores with essential supplies. Cell service is generally strong throughout the region's RV parks, with several reviews noting good connectivity for remote work. Pet-friendly policies are standard, though some parks have designated pet areas and leash requirements. Winter camping options are limited, as several facilities close seasonally between November and March. Road access to these campgrounds is straightforward with most located near major highways, though GPS directions occasionally lead to incorrect entrances as one camper noted about Indianapolis KOA.

Friends O' Mine Campground & Cabins
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

Buffalo Ridge Campground — Brown County State Park
We absolutely LOVED this park! It was hands down our favorite of this year. We camped at site 100 and it has a neighbor on one side and behind while the other side was a huge open space. It is in the center of a loop. It was mostly level. There was some minor doming to the site but not bad at all. It was a busy camp ground but not as crowded (sites not on top of each other) as some I’ve been in. The outsides of the loops did have more space between and privacy but could be smaller or more sloped, it just really depended. The bathrooms and showers were cleaner than some of the other state parks we have been to, so much so my 11 year old son mentioned it. The park itself is absolutely gorgeous. The hiking trails (which is what we usually go for) were nice but I believe that the biking trails were actually more scenic than the hiking trails and a lot more rugged. We liked trail 8 starting from the west lookout tower and stopping at Hesitation Point for lunch/break/bathroom. Trail 6 was also a pretty, rugged, shorter trail. The Nature Center was also nicer than a lot of the others we have been to in the state. We did choose to do horseback riding at the stables. We showed up about 5 minutes after opening and were able to pay and told to come back in an hour and 45 minutes. That didn’t bother us since we had the time but if you are on a tighter schedule, the earlier the better. We also went into Nashville and it was a very cute town to visit. Well decorated for Halloween, very walkable, and a little something for almost everyone. Prices were about what I would expect for a tourist town but not terrible. I also have T-Mobile and had pretty good service almost everywhere in the park.

Bill Monroe Memorial Music Park & Campground
Fun Event Location
We stayed for the weekend during a Campout event. Lots of fun seeing all of our camping buddies. I don’t think we would camp here otherwise as it isn’t really our type of camping. Sites are close together, so don’t expect privacy. Porta potties had not been serviced from their previous event… needless to say, it was foul. The country music museum was pretty cool. The guide was very knowledgeable!

Camp Atterbury Campground
Host is great, park is nice, MWR needs help
Great 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.

3-Point Lake Campgrounds
Very nice campground.
The staff here is very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Each site has water hookups as well as a firepit, electric and sewage. There is a laundry room with a small library, bath house, and a nice short trail, with a game of horseshoes. Unfortunately no more swimming or kayaking in the lake but there are other parks in the area to do so. Very peaceful back in the woods, would definitely stay here again!

Guide to New Palestine

Brown County State Park offers a unique landscape for RV sites near New Palestine, Indiana, with rolling hills and terrain that breaks from the flat farmland typically associated with the state. The wooded environment features elevation changes of up to 400 feet in some areas, creating diverse camping experiences across different campgrounds. Cell service can vary significantly between locations, with stronger connectivity in campgrounds closer to major highways.

What to do

Hiking trails for all levels: Brown County State Park offers numerous trails with varying difficulty. "There's a trailhead that's walking distance from the campsite that leads down a beautiful trail to a lake," notes a visitor to Taylor Ridge Campground.

Mountain biking opportunities: The park maintains purpose-built biking trails suitable for different skill levels. "The mountain biking is excellent, with purpose built trails for beginner to expert (flow, berms, rollers, jumps...)," according to a camper who stayed at Buffalo Ridge Campground.

Fishing spots: Several campgrounds offer fishing opportunities. "We love going camping here. We go at least 3 times a summer because of how peaceful it is," shares a visitor about the lake at Indian Lakes RV Campground.

What campers like

Spacious sites: Many campgrounds offer well-spaced sites. "The sites around us were spacious and had a lot of mature trees," reports a visitor to Raccoon Ridge Campground, who appreciated the privacy offered by established vegetation.

Clean facilities: Maintained bathrooms and showers are consistently mentioned. "Pit toilets at the back of the loop were probably the cleanest pits I've ever used. Bonus that there are dedicated mens/womens pits," says one camper about Raccoon Ridge facilities.

Proximity to Nashville, Indiana: The town offers additional attractions within a short drive. "Nashville is only a 5 minute drive from the campgrounds, and it's a blast going to all of the different shops and restaurants located in town," explains a visitor to Taylor Ridge Campground.

What you should know

Seasonal considerations: Many facilities limit hours or close entirely during off-seasons. "The pony rides were closed due to a creek flooding," reports one camper at Taylor Ridge after heavy rains.

Site topography: Terrain varies considerably between and within campgrounds. "Some sites were fairly sloped as well. This site was a slight slope and overall I would book it again," advises a Taylor Ridge visitor.

Access restrictions: Some entrances have limitations. "The north entrance is through a covered bridge with a 9 foot clearance and 3 ton limit! Otherwise, use the easily accessible west entrance," warns a camper at Buffalo Ridge.

Tips for camping with families

Dedicated kid-friendly amenities: S and H Campground offers numerous attractions. "They have a little section full of carnival like rides. Several playgrounds! Campground big and spacious," shares one family who visited.

Nature programs: Take advantage of educational offerings. "We visited the nature center which was nothing spectacular but still something nice to do," mentions a camper from Raccoon Ridge.

Swimming options: Pools provide summer recreation. "The splash pad/water park was fun, but was not a pool. It only goes to 3 feet so if you want to swim this is not for you," notes a visitor to Indianapolis KOA.

Tips from RVers

Site leveling requirements: Be prepared for uneven grounds at some locations. "Looking for a monthly campsite in the Indianapolis area proved to be a challenge. We were so unsure about staying here as reviews were hit or miss. Decided to take a gamble and give it a try and it's been great! Friendly service, Lots to do for the kiddos. Plenty of amenities on the weekend. Downsides - our site was incredibly uneven," explains a long-term camper at S and H Campground.

Highway noise consideration: Some campgrounds experience traffic sounds. "It's very close to an interstate so it's not exactly a picturesque setting," mentions an Indianapolis KOA visitor about road noise.

Electrical service reliability: During peak usage, power can fluctuate. "When everyone started turning on their AC, my surge protector kept kicking due to voltage swings," reports an RVer who stayed at S and H Campground during a busy holiday weekend.
