      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!

      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.

      Nice overall campground

      We happened across this place and couldn’t have found a more friendly place to camp. Owner introduce himself right away and told us all about the area and history of campground. Pool wasn’t open yet but nice safe place to camp.

      Charlestown State Park Campground

      Nice weekend getaway

      The campground here has been very nice. Coming into the campground there are two areas of road that have been torn out and need repaired, but nothing you couldn't get over, just slow down. Otherwise, nice campsites, plenty of space, well maintained, water and showers already on at comfort station. Tons of kids with large play park. We liked that the park had small walk trails within the campground with direct routes to the comfort station, and lights at the start of the path to identify it. All around, great experience, will be back again.

      Camp Atterbury Fam Camp

      Level sites, electric and sewer at each site, clean facilities, camp ground clean. Was quite less the muffled sounds of the gun range for reserve troops training/qualifying. Mark the host was very helpful and inviting. Free laundry facilities. There is no WiFi, cell coverage was good. I used a Starlink and worked great. This RV park is on base and you need verified access. Overall it’s a nice place for the price (stayed 5 days).

      Great Campground

      Quick two night stay for us but although our first time here was short we will certainly be back. Campground is clean and very well maintained. Owners are very involved and run things very thoughtfully.

      They were able to accommodate our 44ft 5th wheel and navigating to the site was simple. Can’t wait to come back and visit.

      Quick stop over. Would definitely return if in the area. Would have like to have had more time to do some of the trails. Very clean, friendly. Be aware of an additional $9 feet at the gate besides the camp fee.

    Guide to Norman

    Jackson-Washington State Forest connects to Starve Hollow State Recreation Area, providing nearly 19,000 acres of wooded terrain near Norman, Indiana. Most campgrounds in this region remain accessible from April through October, with primitive sites available year-round. The terrain features significant elevation changes, creating challenging hiking conditions unusual for the Midwest.

    What to do

    Kayaking and canoeing opportunities: At Ransburg Scout Reservation, visitors access Monroe Lake's diverse water activities. "Located on Monroe lake, they have canoeing, row boats, sailboats, motor boats, and skiing," notes one visitor who appreciated the range of boating options.

    Hiking rugged trails: The trails at Jackson-Washington State Forest offer challenging terrain. "The property offers several stunning hiking trails and some are of the more challenging nature due to the elevation changes," explains a reviewer. Another camper confirms, "There are some awesome hiking trails here, they are very rugged for Indiana lots of hills."

    Swimming and beach access: Many campgrounds maintain swimming areas for cooling off during summer months. "A large beach is available for swimming from the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day. Restrooms, dressing facilities, showers, and food concessions are available to visitors," according to a Starve Hollow visitor.

    What campers like

    Lakefront camping sites: Many visitors praise the waterfront locations at Delaney Creek Park. "Down in the hills and hollers, is this beautiful campground and park. This place is beautiful and breathtaking," writes one camper. However, note that "Sites 12/13 do not have a view of the lake due to dense brush in front of it. All other lakefront sites have a view."

    Modern glamping facilities: Luxury camping near Norman, Indiana includes upscale accommodations at several locations. One visitor to Brown County-Nashville KOA reported, "We stayed in the cabins for a couple days. The cabins were nice and clean, and equipped with a little fridge and microwave." These glamping options provide comfort while maintaining outdoor access.

    Full hookup availability: Campers seeking more amenities appreciate the comprehensive utilities. "Our site was a pull through so very easy to set up. Was a full hook up site at that," notes a Yogi Bears at Lake Monroe reviewer. Another mentions, "Full hook-up or water and electric sites, sites are level. Tent sites available."

    What you should know

    Site leveling requirements: Many sites require significant leveling. At Delaney Creek Park, "Sites for RVs are concrete and you will need to level some on all of them." Another reviewer warns, "Also, every lot slopes down towards the lake. If you have levelers, should not be a problem, but be sure to bring extra, because it's a good 3" to 5"."

    Boat rental timelines: Boats rent quickly at popular locations like Starve Hollow. "If you want to rent one of the kayaks, get to the office right at 8 or they will be gone for the day," advises one camper. Rental availability varies seasonally but typically runs mid-April through October.

    Campground busyness: eXplore Brown County gets particularly busy on weekends. One camper warns, "The campground itself was decent but it was very noisy the holiday weekend I stayed. People were chopping wood at 4:30am one night. Late night partying and music followed up with early rising children."

    Tips for camping with families

    Playground access: Locations with multiple play areas keep children entertained. "They have a huge splash park, wading pool for toddlers, and a 4 foot pool besides tons of interactive activities for kids," writes a visitor to Yogi Bears at Lake Monroe. Another camper adds, "Great getaway for the family. We love this place and camp here 5+ times a year. It's clean and so much to do with kids."

    Swimming beaches: Lake Monroe Village offers water access for families. "We keep our camper here full-time. Close to Lake Monroe. Nice pool. Great people," reports a regular visitor. Another mentions, "Great place for friends and families. Tons for both kids and adults."

    Activity planning: Schedule outdoor activities in cooler morning hours during summer. "Wake early to see the sun rise over the lake," suggests a Starve Hollow visitor. Summer temperatures can exceed 90°F with high humidity, making afternoon breaks advisable.

    Tips from RVers

    Water and electric access: Check hookup locations before arrival. "The electric and water hookups are not in standard locations for RV hookups. Make sure you bring an extension for your electric hookup, otherwise you might not be able to reach the post," warns a Delaney Creek Park visitor.

    Size limitations: Larger RVs face site restrictions at some campgrounds. "Keep in mind that a lot of the electric only sites are very tight with a lot of trees in the area. I can probably only get my 36 ft 5th wheel into a third of the sites," notes one camper about Starve Hollow's layout.

    Dump station locations: Verify dump station availability and locations before booking. While Starve Hollow and several other campgrounds provide dump stations, Jackson-Washington State Forest and primitive camping areas typically lack this amenity.
