Best Cabin Camping near North Vernon, IN

296 Reviews

Several cabin camping options exist within a short drive of North Vernon, Indiana. CERA Sports Corporation features rental cabins alongside their extensive recreational facilities, which include a swimming pool with waterslide, mini-golf, and paddle boating. The cabins are situated on well-maintained grounds with paved roads for bike riding. "We absolutely love this place. A lot to do, swimming, mini golf, ect. You can bring your golf cart for a extra fee," notes one visitor. Versailles State Park Campground, located about 20 minutes from North Vernon, offers cabin accommodations with electric hookups in a wooded setting that provides shade without complete privacy.

Cabin options in the region include both rustic and more furnished accommodations. Starve Hollow State Recreation Area and Hardy Lake State Recreation Area both provide cabin rentals with varying amenities. Most cabins include basic electric service and some offer water hookups. While pets are allowed at most locations, specific pet policies vary by campground. Reservations are recommended, especially during summer months and holiday weekends. A visitor to Versailles State Park mentioned, "This is a nice site, easy to back in, nestled up to some trees," though they noted it wasn't ideal for tent camping.

Most cabins in the area provide beds and basic furniture but require guests to bring their own linens, pillows, and towels. Kitchen facilities vary widely—some offer only outdoor fire rings while others may include small refrigerators or microwaves. Cooking equipment is typically not provided. The Brown County-Nashville KOA, about 40 minutes west of North Vernon, features cabin rentals with more extensive amenities than state park options.

    Starve Hollow State Rec Area Campground

    Good variety

    Starve Hollow offers camping from full hookup, electric only (by the lake), tent camping, and cabins.  The lake has a swimming area (no lifeguards), playgrounds, and bathhouse.  The lake allows boats with electric trolling motor only. 

    We stayed in the full hookup section (camping facilities: electric, sewer, and water hookup as well as fire ring, picnic table, and parking spur at each site. Modern restrooms/showers(wheelchair accessible) are available nearby. 53 sites available, sites 222, 232, and 234 are wheelchair accessible).  The bathhouse was clean (even though it rained most of the weekend).  these sites are a good size and able to get any size Trailer or RV into these sites.  There is mostly grass on most of the sites in this area.

    The campground also offers electric only sites (camping facilities: electric hookup, fire ring, picnic table and parking spur at each site. Drinking water is available in area. Modern restrooms/showers(wheelchair accessible) are available nearby. Dumping station is available. There are 87 sites available. Sites 28, 44, 65, 75 and 90 are wheelchair accessible).  They have about 20 sites that back up right to the lake allowing fishing from your campsite.  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, but there are many of sites that had shorter units on them.   

    Cabins:  Starve Hollow has 13 rent-a-camp cabins available March-Nov.(closed Dec.-Feb.)(NOTE: Local sales only during off season/winter months, contact property for details). Each cabin has a front porch with a swing, outside electric outlet and front porch light. Inside there are two small rooms each providing a ceiling fan with light, a heating/cooling unit and electrical outlets. The front room offers a small table with bench seats, corner shelf, chair, rocking chair, and a loft. The back room offers a bunk bed(single) and a double bed(NO LINENS or MATTRESS PROVIDED). Air mattress recommended.

    Fishing/Boating Starve-Hollow Lake has three boat ramps to choose from, one at the dam and two in the electric campground. Kayak, rowboat and canoe rental is available. A valid Indiana fishing license is required. Rowboat and canoe rental is available from mid April through October. Starve-Hollow Lake is a trolling motor only lake. For campers a fish cleaning station is available.

    Swimming 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. Wheelchair ramps allow access to beach and concession area.

    Picnicking There are picnic areas and picnic shelters that can be reserved. Both shelters can be accessed by wheelchair. The East shelter has an electrical outlet. Picnic tables and grills are located at the picnic sites. A wheelchair accessible playground, basketball goals, softball fields, horseshoe pits and a sand volleyball court are located on or near the swimming beach.

    Hiking Trails Starve Hollow has several hiking trails to explore that total approximately 11 miles.

    Starve Hollow State Rec Area Campground

    Great place! We will come back!

    There are full hook-up sites and electric. Regular electric sites on the water are beautiful but not sure we could park our 41 ft fifth wheel on a water site. Trails are rugged at times and you can access them through campground. We are here in the fall but the beach looks like a good size. Boat rentals. Cabins look cute. We peeked in one. Double bed with bunks in room. Theres a loft for kids. A/C and heat but not bathroom. Bring a mattress or sleeping bags or you will sleep on wood. I recommend the water cabins. Playgrounds are sprinkled throughout. DNR dont patrol a lot. Quiet campground.

    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.

    Deam Lake State Recreation Area Campground

    First time camping

    Stayed in D04. Had 30 amp plus 20 amp hookups. Picnic table. 15 pieces of firewood for 5 plus tax. Friends stayed in the chickadee cabin and d03. Neat cabins all wood with Portable AC.

    A few hikes. Horse camping so was cool to see the horses. A beach location and a few fishing spots.

    The lake doesn’t allow non electric motors so waters were calm. Caught some bluegills.

    Public restrooms and showers.

    Ice in the area cheapest at the truck stops and gas stations 2 10lbs for 5 bucks.

    Would stop again if in the area.

    Follow The River RV Resort

    Florence, IN…Nice campground

    Park is well maintained. Nice sized pool and very clean pool area. Park has a playground and dog park. Lots of space between campers with cement patio, fire pit and picnic table and lots of trees. We had no issue pulling in our 42’ 5th wheel. We came in after hours and our name with sits number was posted on the door and plenty of maps for the park. Nice layout! You could barely hear a train off in the distance which sounded cozy. Campground is about 30 min from Madison and Ohio River is across the street. Only con- trash cans are like in a whole different country and hard to get too. Would stay again!!!!!

    General Butler State Resort Park

    Great Park to relax

    Great little park located just far enough away to get away but close enough to town to run and get something if you forgot it.

    Campground is pretty compact but stays pretty quiet. Two well maintained restrooms and shower facilities. Property has a lodge, cabins, pull through, full hook up, and water/power hook up, primitive spots, and day use shelters.

    There is a pool and a restaurant are located at the lodge. There are a few hiking trails and a playground for the little ones. There is mini golf canoe and paddle boat rentals available as well.

    Free wifi (speed is questionable) but we found 2-3 bars on T-mobile and AT&T.

    We frequent this park since it is close to home and the smaller size makes it easier to turn the kids loose. They have enough to enjoy but not so much where we have to be active every second.

Guide to North Vernon

Cabin camping options within a 30-60 minute drive of North Vernon, Indiana include both state recreation areas and private campgrounds. North Vernon sits at an elevation of 735 feet in southeastern Indiana with typical Midwestern seasonal weather patterns. Most cabin facilities remain open from April through October, though some like Starve Hollow offer limited year-round availability.

What to do

Lake activities at Starve Hollow: The 145-acre lake at Starve Hollow State Recreation Area offers swimming, fishing, and boating. "They have both vault toilets and flush toilets in the shower buildings. All the campsites I saw were pretty level. They all seemed to be pretty shady as well," notes one visitor who gave the location five stars.

Hiking trails: Several cabin locations connect to extensive trail systems. At Charlestown State Park, "We hiked 4 of the trails, 3 of which were pretty rugged and all had elevation changes for a good hiking challenge," shares a camper who spent five nights there. The park offers both shorter routes and connecting trails.

Outdoor recreation beyond swimming: Campgrounds near North Vernon provide diverse activities beyond water sports. "Picnic tables and grills are located at the picnic sites. A wheelchair accessible playground, basketball goals, softball fields, horseshoe pits and a sand volleyball court are located on or near the swimming beach," explains a visitor to Starve Hollow, highlighting facilities open from spring through fall.

What campers like

Privacy levels vary: Campers appreciate sites with natural buffers at Delaney Creek Park. "I love how small the campground is," writes one reviewer who calls it their "go-to campground." While some cabin areas offer more seclusion, expect moderate proximity to neighbors at most locations.

Clean facilities: Visitors consistently mention facility cleanliness as a highlight. "Very clean and super friendly staff. They do allow boats and the Knobstone trail is accessible here," notes a Delaney Creek Park visitor who was "very impressed." Most cabin areas maintain regular bathroom cleaning schedules.

Well-maintained grounds: Cabin guests often comment on property upkeep. At Brown County-Nashville KOA, visitors report: "Well kept campground. Cleanest campground bathrooms I have ever seen. Friendly staff." The cabins here include "a front porch with a swing, outside electric outlet and front porch light."

What you should know

Cabin amenities vary significantly: Some cabins include more amenities than others. "Inside there are two small rooms each providing a ceiling fan with light, a heating/cooling unit and electrical outlets," explains a visitor to Brown County-Nashville KOA, adding "The front room offers a small table with bench seats, corner shelf, chair, rocking chair, and a loft."

Reservation timing matters: Book well ahead for peak seasons. "We called for reservations less than two weeks in advance, and they only had one site left," notes a Brown County visitor who traveled in autumn. Holiday weekends often fill months in advance.

Bedding requirements: Most cabins do not include bedding. KOA cabins have "a bunk bed (single) and a double bed (NO LINENS or MATTRESS PROVIDED). Air mattress recommended." Bring sleeping bags or complete bedding sets for all cabin stays near North Vernon.
