Best RV Parks & Resorts near Oakland City, IN

Family had a blast here! Sites are on top of each other so be prepared when navigating and backing in. Site are level and full hook up. Tons to do and Holiday World is a shuttle ride away. Great family fun!

Two playgrounds, little petting zoo for kids. Beach area with small fee. Full hook up sites.

Fairly new with great access to fishing. Bike riding enjoying nature. Several pull through sites and all are full hook up.

REDUCED AMENITIES (NOVEMBER - APRIL): Please note that most properties turn off water, close modern restrooms, and winterize full-hookup sites during winter months (November through April). Camping is still available at a reduced rate at almost all locations during this time period. Properties will begin turning on water and opening other facilities between mid-March and late-April depending on the forecasted temperatures. If you plan to camp during early spring and/or late fall, please contact the property office to check on the availability of water, modern restrooms, and full hook-up camping. FULL AMENITIES ARE AVAILABLE MAY - OCTOBER EACH YEAR.

We love this campground. Its close to home, on a lake & has all the amenities. We prefer a small section of the park called Milligan’s Point. There are only 10 spots, you’re right on the water, and has full hook ups.

Recently tried out Scales Lake...not my 1st choice. Sites were very small and close together. There were several different spots/clusters of camp sites. Some where full hook up, some primitive, some just electric, and all mixed together. The fire rings were very small with no grates to cook on. There was 1 bath house, very nice and clean and cooled, but not assemble to all camping sites. Also there were 2 playgrounds and a petting zoo. Lake has a small beach for swimming, slide with its own catch pool separate. Fishing allowed.

The streets in the town are extremely narrow, making it hard to get into the park.

This is a small independent campground offering 3 cabins at$180 nightly and 5 full hook-up RV sites at$40 nightly. This property is easily accessible from IN-59; just 2 miles south of Linton, IN. The property is neat, clean and well cared for with a small pond, children’s play area and the best part; just a quick jump to Goose Pond Fish and Wildlife Area or two miles to Green Sullivan State Forest for some of the best hunting and fishing in the state.

This is a small privately owned campground. It's not in a city but not far from a few busy ones. You get the feel of a country stay but the owner is so friendly and helpful that you feel like your visiting family or friends. The site we had had a nice sized front and back area which was nice with our larger dogs. Most of the other campers there are workers for the refinery nearby. Only 2 of the 12 sites seemed to be long term and they were all well kept. Mr Jim the owner works but is just a text or phone call away and actually lives (in a silo or feed bin his family converted into a house, which we thought very interesting and unique) right around the corner. So if you're ever in the area it is worth a stop. While there look for the sign to buy the eggs, best brown eggs I've had in awhile (thanks ricky).

Located on a Navy Base, so only open to active duty, retired military, DoD civilians and their families. Must have ID card to get on base.

The base is very large in area and wooded. Watch out for wildlife, especially deer and pay attention to speed limits. Don’t mind the occasional explosions and distant machine gun fire ; they test ordnance there. But no worries, it isn’t loud at the campground.

The campground is located by Lake Greenwood, so the MWR operates a marina where you can rent boats, kayaks, paddle boards and so on. They sell bait and ice. There’s a nice boat dock if you need to launch your own boat and plenty of dock space to tie your boat up. You can fish or waterski on the lake; it’s that big.

The campground is not real large. It’s all gravel, but full RV hookups. The electric, water and sewer services are reliable, but no Wi-Fi and unless you have Verizon, no cell service (but they are supposed to have a new AT&T tower up soon). They have nice cabins and a separate tent site area, where there’s a small beach for swimming. Pets are welcome. They have a little shack with firewood; $5 a wheelbarrow load. Every site has a fire ring and a picnic table. The shower house is a bit dated, but clean. There’s dumpsters close by. Very pretty location.

They do have daily, weekly, monthly and seasonal rates.

There’s a base exchange and commissary on base, but the closest town is about 20 minutes away, a small town called Odon, but you can find whatever you need there. Bloomington is about 50 miles away. The tiny village of Crane is outside the gate. There’s a bar and a pizza place and that’s about it.

RV’s and trailers must use the Crane gate, located off I69 exit 87, then south on US231 a couple miles. You’ll see the signs. Call ahead for reservations; they do fill up most weekends and you’ll need them to explain the check-in procedure once you get on base.

While traveling from St. Louis to Kentucky we happened upon Lynnville RV Park just off I-64. We checked in through the honor system as the store/office closed at 5p; we filled out a registration form put $22 in it and put it in the mail slot-have to say I have not seen that before. The grounds were clean and maintained, it sits along a river so there were many there with boating and fishing gear-there were a lot of campers there but it was a very quite night. It's a nice little campground, the sites had fire rings, grills and picnic tables; some sites are actually on the river. We will probably stop there again on the next trip to Missouri.

This is a huge state park! There are lots and lots of campsites in this state park bordering the Wabash River. Sites are divided into smallish areas some for tents, some for RVs and some mixed. Lots of trees for shade. Bathhouses in each area with showers and toilets. Very clean & well maintained. Some areas with children playgrounds. The park has multiple picnic areas and shelters. There are a couple of ponds. There is a boat launch at the Wabash River. There is a good size swimming pool (though closed at my visit for the pandemic). Park sells firewood for individual fire pits at each site. Electric hookups at most tent sites. Water spigots near each bathhouse.

Campground is very basic with clean level sites. Tent, car and van camping friendly, but smaller RV (less than 30 ft trailer or camper) would also do okay. Quiet hours 11:00 pm to 7:00 am. Generator okay but recommend use away from other campers.

Scales Lake Park is right outside Boonville, In on South Parklane Dr.

I drove through the RV park, it was okay. The main area had little shade, definitely go for the outer sites if you want some grass and shade. The showerhouse was centrally located next to the playground and there was a laundromat of sorts included.

Water sports and a bike/hike trail, so plenty to keep you occupued. The paved road that runs all the way through to the closed gate, is good for biking or jogging if you don't want to run the trail.

My favorite part was one; the handicap primitive site had a handicap accessible fishing deck and two; near that was McCool Point. A secluded primitive site with a stairway down to your own little boat tieoff. Sorta cool :)

Burdette Park is right outside Evansville, In. And BUSY.

BMX track, HUGE swimming pool/water park with slides and several other outdoor activities.

I didn't love the RV park , the sites are very close together, very little privacy.

Some of the primitive sites have a lot of privacy, some are a little close, but if your with a group it would work well.

There are Chalets to rent, Shelters and for a big crowd the Discovery Lodge.

The Burdette walking trail was about 3miles long, not a lot of shade but very well laid out.

I did not go to the pool, but saw it on the way up the hill to the camping area. It is HUGE and looks like a lot of fun.

Lastly there was an actual BMX track. Practice Wednesdays, Races Friday per schedule, big thing since the 80's.

Was looking for a quiet area, and not some drive-through campsite, this fit the bill. Great groundskeepers, good trail for dogs, nice view of the pond from the main RV area, has decent showers and laundry room, and plenty of entertainment close by. If you don’t need full hookups, they have 30a’s in back and by an old ww2 bunker.

This campground only has a few full hookup sites maybe three, otherwise the sites have electric and there is a few water hookups along each of the loops to fill your potable tank with. This campground is easily three miles back from the front gate. It's quite, and peaceful. There are bath houses in between loops so there's a few and always one near by. My fiance and I have stayed here for a little over a month, sadly I was not able to try their pool out due to it already being closed for the season when we arrived. So far all the staff and maontance people have been super nice. One gentleman even gave me a ride to the front gate to pay for additional camping nights. Their is a nature center for the kids with a bunch of humming bird feeders. i myself travel with my plants and have a feeder as well. No where else have I seen so many hummingbirds there's a few at my feeder every day and I've captured really amazing pictures. I'd come back here in a heart beat.

This place is so beautiful. It has at least 11 playgrounds for kids and a small "town" complete with school house, play houses, a library, and a building for parents. Goats to pet. A small river two ponds and areas for tent campers all the way to full hookups. Super clean bathrooms are nice.

Playgrounds everywhere. Nice big sites with full hookups in the newer section. Price is very nominal for the amenities in my opinion. We were able to go “creeking” do trail walking, bike riding. Just a super neat little place. They even have a little village set up houses to play in! There is even free firewood! Would definitely go back. Throughly enjoyed by all of us!

We camped here in the middle of October. The sites are very close together, so when the campsites are full you don't feel like you have much privacy or personal space. It was nice having full hookups for our camper, and there are plenty of hiking trails to get out and explore. Scales Lake is beautiful, my daughter enjoyed the playground and the petting zoo, and we'd probably like to come back, just maybe not on such a busy weekend.

Level sites, gravel and paved. Water available but not at each site. Pit toilets. Each site has a fire ring and picnic table. Nice clean and maintained campground.

The owner just reopened this campground 2 years ago, put a lot of work into it. Overall great place, roughly 3 miles off the interstate. GPS states there is a bridge to the campground, but not true. Can drive directly to it. Lovely area with fishing not far from the campsite. Full hookups on every site, have in trees half in direct sun. Lots of full time residents, but very clean and very friendly. Will fit any size rig, or tents. Great wifi and cell signal. We didn’t put up fish network. Simple campground with wood for sale only. Lots and lots of ticks, beware if you have pups.
