Mimsey's Mayhem
Be the first to review!Union, Kentucky9 Photos3 SavesPresently only offering tent primitive camping. What is Mimsey's Mayhem? Site with large swings, obstacle course and zip line for KIDS. I know adults like to play but sometimes that get out of control. There are hiking trails and a fishing lake. We are one mile from BIG BONE PARK. This is still a new development. Limting camping until we get this down right. Access to Adaire Wildlife Refuge 800 acres. Kayaking access at Big Bone Landing 2 miles away.

Berry Ridge Road - Dispersed Camping
Nice
Very long secluded road. Took a bit to find the first spot to camp, once we found it the other spots weren’t too far past.
Follow The River RV Resort
Great campground
We absolutely love this campground, very friendly staff and well kept and clean!! They are pet friendly and allow portable fences.
Berry Ridge Road - Dispersed Camping
Perfect
The perfect dispersed site for my way through, quiet and peaceful. Good spot for tent camping , we enjoyed our stay.
Jackson Washington State Forest
Great primitive campground
Spacious sites. Beautiful forest. Quiet, but only 5 minutes small town with gas stations, grocery, etc. Not many amenities. Only pit toilets and water spigots. Firewood was not available during our visit. No reservations. First come first serve, but even on a "busy" Saturday in July less than 1/3 of the sites were full. Two "loops" one in a pine forest below the small lake and one at the lake/up the hill. Multiple playgrounds. Great trails to hike. Cool CCC construction. Highly recommend.
Berry Ridge Road - Dispersed Camping
Secluded in the woods
Beautiful secluded site that is pretty far off of the road, but not too far. There was no traffic or other people in site. I have a promaster conversion and had no trouble making it to this site, however the road was gravel and steep at times. I have lived in Indiana for ever and have made many trips this way, but I never knew sites like this existed.
Camp Atterbury Campground
Great 1st experience
This was my first time at a campsite, so I don't have other sites to compare to. Overall, my experience was great. Clean area with lots of amenities. They stack free firewood at your campsite to burn. I'm military, so the gunfire, canon fire, and helicopters didn't bother me at all. Those things don't happen all the time though.
Woods Campground
Horrible
The owner came up hot headed and very upset. I don’t know if they were having a bad day. The place looks like trash and has a very poor layout
Berry Ridge Road - Dispersed Camping
Real dispersed camping
For those of you who don't understand disperse camping this is the perfect site for a tent to camp without anything but what you bring in and take out understand what dispersed camping is and then there won't be any complaints about can't get a camper in or whatever I always see the complaints this is dispersed camping at its best
Hueston Woods State Park Campground
Too much drinking and loud music
Dont go here if you expect peace and quiet. We were in a group campsite and there were partiers on both sides of us. Music blaring and yelling all night long. Complaining doesn't do any good either. Park ranger just went and said quiet time was at 10 but never came back around at night to check to see if people were abiding by the rules. Won't be going back. Too much money to spend only to have to put up with no sleep because of loud music and drunks.
Scottsburg/Raintree Lake KOA
Repeat Visit
This was a repeat visit. Just as perfect as the first time. Lake was beautiful and staff are always so helpful. They even have an on-site RV Tech that works for them who helped us fix our hot water heater. Very professional young man. We also enjoyed live music at the pavilion, and PIZZA from their new café, it was fabulous. They even have Boba tea.
Big Bone Lick State Park Campground
Nice state Park
We stopped at the park for 2 nights (Sun, Mon). The park was peaceful and relaxing. We were able to pick up provisions and enjoy dinner in Walton. Site had electric and water. The dump station has 2 stations. One requires circling back through the campground after use.
Hueston Woods State Park Campground
Hueston woods
Only A & B loop are suitable for campers. The other loops you have to pull off into the grass and " make it work" challenging to get close to level.
Delaney Creek Park
My go to campground
I have never had a bad stay. I absolutely love camping here. The scenery is beautiful and I love how small the campground is.
Lightwood Farm
Couldn’t be better
Amazing property for quiet relaxing and star gazing.
Scottsburg/Raintree Lake KOA
High speed Wifi
This campground  offers, high-speed Wi-Fi that actually works!  the new owners upgraded last year and it’s fabulous !
Scottsburg/Raintree Lake KOA
Family Owned KOA!
This campground became a KOA in late fall 2022. Since the new owners took over they have made wonderful improvements. Added a new saltwater pool, deluxe cabins, deluxe camping sites. All sites have 50/30 AMP. Most with lake views or select a site right nearest the lake. They added a New Cafe with pizza, coffees and Boba tea. Super clean park & restrooms
Oak Creek Campground
Oak Creek Campground KY
Good enough spot to stay for the night in a van/RV. Sites were a bit cramped, but level. Bathrooms and showers available.
Berry Ridge Road - Dispersed Camping
Pretty Forest Spot
Huge sinkhole that makes for a cool look. Dry area for tent, not big enough for a camper but cool for car camping!
Berry Ridge Road - Dispersed Camping
Great!
Solo camped here with my dogs. First time I’ve ever been camping but this spot was really cool. Clean. Secluded and peaceful, though every night at around 5pm I would hear rustling in the leaves, I assumed it was a pack of cayotes and they would leave once I started banging on stuff and primally yelling. Very spooky! Awesome spot, though albeit I don’t have anything to compare it to. But I’m glad I found it!
Hueston Woods State Park Campground
Very Big Park
It's very clean and huge. Lots to do.
Hartig Park & Wildlife Reserve - TEMPORARILY CLOSED
Great Secluded Spot
Stayed here two nights. The first night at campsite #10, which didn't really have level ground, so we moved to #8 for night two. Each spot has a picnic table and fire ring. The main road was nice to drive on, but the others were pretty rough. Had spots for hammocks, and the portopotty was well maintained. The spots were all pretty secluded. Great remote location!
Berry Ridge Road - Dispersed Camping
This is dispersed at its best!
Free camp ground. Very private. Decent sized space to park for 2-3 vehicles. Trails, plenty of dry wood, away from the roads, no running water or electricity, decent amount of spaces we came in at night and counted about 9 very far spread out camp sights. Good ground to pitch a tent to. There was other camp grounds bigger than the one we stayed at and had several people at them with a big bonfire going but what’s great is when we found our spot we couldn’t see their fire or even hear them! One thing to note is that some of the camp sites are tucked back into the trees a little and can be hard to spot. At night we thought one was open but there was actually someone there and just couldn’t see them from the road so we had to back out and go to the next site (sorry whoever that was lol). It is also a ways off the beaten path for through car camping but honestly if we were ever coming back through this way I would make the hour detour to stop here again!
General Butler State Resort Park
Small sites but lovely location
We stayed two nights in our small mobile home. The pluses were electric and water hookups, and the beauty of the area. The trees were at peak color! The minuses were that some of the sites were very narrow, and some had a huge drop off from the camping pad to the grass. You almost have to drive there and look at the sites one by one to make sure what you're getting! Having said that, the area is well lighted and boasts a beautiful (though not really as easy as advertised) trail around the lake.
Friends O' Mine Campground & Cabins
Friendly & Convenient
New owners are great! The whole staff was friendly and helpful. Minutes from state park and downtown. Big rig friendly sites, Tmobile worked perfectly, facilities clean and weekend activities made the stay enjoyable for our kids.
Governor Bebb MetroPark Campground
Nice quiet spot for a few nights out.
This is a nice county park that is being upgraded. There is a fairly new playground near the camping areas, a new pit toilet building, and a bridge leading to where a new trail system is being created. There are a mix of Electric and non electric sites. I think 9 non-electric and 7 electric sites.
Fire rings and picnic tables at every site. We were able to fit our Escapod (tear drop) camper in a non-electric site.
I think there is more coming in redevelopment of this county park, so it shoudl keep getting better!
Thousand Trails Indian Lakes
Large Campground
This was my first time visiting. It’s a very large campground with lots of amenities. I’ve noticed a lot of bad reviews on other platforms about potholes and mud, and although some of that is true, it seems to be mostly on the KOA side. The only major potholes I have encountered are upon entering and exiting near the ranger station. The lot is gravel and very large for my small rig which was cool. It was nice and level, so I didn’t have to do much. I have great service here with my T-Mobile 5g internet as well as my starlink. Because it’s off season, there isn’t a lot going on, but I’m ok with that. I also appreciated the dog park that was well maintained to give my pup some freedom to roam off leash. I would definitely recommend.
Update: The only negative things I encountered while staying at this campground were the loud golf carts with their music blasting until late at night on the weekends. It seems like the same person would just cruise up and down the roads all evening. The other thing that wasn’t really an issue for me (due to being off season) were the limited amount of washers/dryers for the size of the campground. I can’t imagine what it’s like during peak season.
Versailles State Park Campground
Nice clean campground
We enjoyed the stay at site 77. The description of the site did say it had a slight slope so were aware. We tent camped which means our tent was on a slope. Next time we’ll pick a more level site. Bathrooms were clean, just your run of the mill park bathroom with some spider webs. We hiked a pretty easy trail and loved the walk. We saw several sites that we’d love to try when we return. So we’d definitely go back.
