Best RV Parks & Resorts near Poland, IN

Gravel sites accommodate a range of RV sizes, though some parks have limited space for larger rigs. "The spots were accessible, the bathrooms are AMAZING, the little attractions are adorable and the host is terrific," noted one visitor about Cloverdale RV Park. Most parks in the area remain open year-round, with Misty Morning Campground providing both pull-through and back-in sites suitable for RVs up to 40 feet in length.

Between May and October, campgrounds in the region experience higher occupancy rates, particularly on weekends. Several parks offer sanitary dump stations, though location and accessibility vary – Terre Haute Campground's dump station is positioned at the exit, which some larger RVs reported difficulty accessing. Cell service through Verizon and T-Mobile generally provides good coverage across the area. Within 30 miles of Poland, pet-friendly options predominate, though specific pet areas like dog parks are limited to certain facilities.

    Terre Haute Campground

    Great location to I-70 and Terre Haute

    This campground is great proximity to I-70 for an easy on/off the interstate and just outside of downtown Terre Haute (approximately eight miles). The park is nice and shady with large trees. When we were there in November, there were very few other campers and most appeared to be transients there for just one night. With all the amenities in this place there is probably a lot going on in the summer. Downtown Terre Haute has plenty of activities including live music, sporting events, museums, restaurants, and historic sites.

    RV sites are pull thrus and back-ins that vary from 50 amp full hook-up with deluxe patio to 30 amp water/electric. All sites were level. There are definitely sites big enough for big-rigs with tow vehicles so you don’t have to unhook if you are just stopping for a night. Water, sewer and electric hook-ups were well-placed and easy to reach. In addition to the RV sites, there are kamping cabins with deluxe accommodations (including air conditioning, kitchens, and bathrooms) capable of sleeping up to 6 people to rustic cabins without bathrooms. Tent sites are available as is a “teepee.”

    Amenities at the park include: swimming pool, camp store (with fire wood), full service restaurant (May – November), propane fill, bike rental, basketball courts, playground, horseshoes, petting zoo, and coin laundry. The restroom and shower house was clean. There is a dump station located at the exit of the park. Our Verizon 4G phone and hotpsot had great service. Our antenna picked up about two dozen television channels

    If you have a dog, there is an off-leash dog park and you are free to walk dogs around the property and there is a long road leading into park. The only problem we had with the park was that some of the trees were not trimmed and the roads where narrow and would rub against our RV.

    Shakamak State Park Campground

    “Fantastic Indiana camping experience.”

    This is just a beautiful Indiana State Park located near the small community of Jasonville, Indiana which offers simple dining, grocery store, hardware store and fuel. The park has numerous recreational activities to include 3 lakes spanning some 400 acres that are known for spectacular fishing, seasonal family aquatic center for swimming with a large water slide, seasonal nature center, and several hiking trails. The campsites are in a heavily wooded area with fantastic tree canopy for shade and comfort. Sites are mostly level gravel pads ranging from primitive to 30 amp electric, 50 amp electric or a limited number of full hookup; water, sewer and 50 amp service sites plus plenty of clean bath houses. Large rig friendly. The park also has family cabins available. A small camp store supplies firewood, ice, bait and sundries...Indiana fishing license at the park office. Want to relax...enjoy beautiful sunsets on the lake, paddling a canoe or kayak, or casting a line for dinner...this is a perfect place to make that happen.

    Johnson County Fairgrounds

    Not the Best

    We followed our RV GPS into the quaint city of Franklin and turned right off of Jefferson Street onto Fairgrounds Street that leads a short distance to the gate. Waze wanted us to continue on King Street coming in from I-65, but there is a sign that says no trucks and the street is not RV friendly. Our RV GPS had us going the right direction to get to Jefferson Street. As we had made reservations on the day of arrival we were texted by the fairgrounds camp host asking for an estimated arrival time. The camp host site is right at the entrance of the campground (CG) area. As they only take cash or check, we paid the host upon arrival and the host walked us over to show us the site they selected for us. Upon arriving at back-in site 34 with FHUs and 50 AMP, we asked if we could change to the adjacent 30 AMP area, so we could have some space and yard. The camp host said that due to the age of the wiring they do not allow 50 to 30 AMP adapters. However, a 5th wheel came in a day later and hooked into 30 AMP with an adapter. The CG has poor site and utility placement with multiple sites sharing water. The sites back up to each other and the utilities are down the middle. There isn't dedicated site utilities like the majority of CGs, you just pick the water and electric that happens to be open and is closest to you. There are no picnic tables nor fire pits. Be sure to have plenty of water hose(we needed 50’) to reach a spigot. Our area had full timers and short stayers. There was another site area across the field that was either long term or seasonal with decent spacing but we weren't offered any of the empty 50 AMP spots and no one else was put in that area. Wifi was very useable for checking mail, Facebook, and such. Water pressure was good. We got 3 bars on Verizon. With an unobstructed view of the northern sky we used our Starlink. There’s plenty of area to walk your dog inside the fenced fairground areas. The next time we are in the area, we’ll pass on this CG.

    Crawfordsville KOA

    Nice KOA

    Shade, grass, and gravel sites. A lot better than most KOAs. They ask that you not put outdoor rugs on grass; no problem as grass is nice. Sites 1-10 are your best bet for Starlink if that’s what you have; best opening through tree canopy of the northern sky. Pet friendly; counted three cats and a dog in the office when I checked in. Was given the option of choosing my site out of the seven available for my reservation. A mix of long term residents and travelers; some of the long term resident sites were a little junky.

    Paynetown Campground

    Paynetown State Recreation Area

    Paynetown SRA is right on Lake Monroe about 10 minutes from Bloomington, IN. Campsites have a gravel parking pad, picnic table, fire-ring, and electrical hookups. Restrooms & showers were about average... not great/not bad. A private company rents kayaks, jet skis, boats, and paddleboards from the camp-store in the SRA. There are beaches, a nature center, & playgrounds, so it seems very family friendly. There's a cool little pizza place right down the road too. This is the perfect place to camp for a weekend of fun on Lake Monroe. It's also only about 20 minutes from Lake Lemon.

    Brown County-Nashville KOA

    Great forest area

    We called for reservations less than two weeks in advance, and they only had one site left. If coming from the north-west, try to arrive before dark as the road over the hills to this place is beautiful, but narrow and forested with some trees very close to the roadway. The entrance road to the campground is quite steep. We arrived after the office had closed, so they had left an envelope taped to the door with our name and a map to our site. We were in the full-hookup, back-in RV sites connected with the cabins but they are across the street so they’re not too connected if you don’t know who’s in the cabin nearest you. Most of the other rigs in this row seemed to be long-term. We were on the end opening onto trees and the gravel cul de sac. It’s beautiful.

    Pads are gravel and we did need to use several leveling blocks on our site, which made for a doosey of a bottom step into and out of our trailer. This end of the park is very quiet, with dark skies at night for stargazing and lovely field and forest sounds. Even though the office had closed a couple of hours before, the owner Bruce came by after we had set up to make sure we were in ok. Thoughtful!

    The “patio” pad for the picnic table is 12” concrete blocks. It was mostly level, but not near the edge near our tow vehicle. Tripped a few times; these blocks should be redone.

    We needed some trailer work while we were here, so asked the owner for recommendations. The manager Ed then came by after the guy had come to be sure we were pleased with the recommendation.

    Bathrooms were a short walk up the hill to the office. Pretty good, though they often needed supplies restocked.

    We would definitely stay here again. We stayed in site 9.

    Cecil M Harden Lake Raccoon State Recreation Area

    Plenty of fun!

    Raccoon State Recreation Area | Cecil M Harden Lake is located in the heart of historic covered bridge country just 50 miles West of Indianapolis. The campground is surrounded by the 2,060 acre Cecil M Harden reservoir offering boating (boat rental), fishing and a large swimming beach with concessions and amenities. The campground is extremely well maintained with many sites sheltered by tree canopy ranging from non-electric, 30 amp, to 50 amp. Fresh water is available at fill stations and a spacious dump station area make for easy disposal. Many of the sites are not level so chose wisely to suit your needs. Easy beach access from the campground via a paved walk/bike path, well stocked camp store at the entrance to the campground, well maintained bath house facilities, active interpretive Naturalist programs, and numerous hiking trail opportunities round out the amenities. This is a beautiful campground; and if you like to explore...take a drive through the area and enjoy the many historic towns, covered bridges and roller mills throughout the county.

    Shakamak State Park Campground

    Very nice campground!

    This was a camping weekend. We've camped here before, but many years ago. It was time to go back. 

    So, we couldn't remember much about this state park. We were never compelled to go back sooner. Now I remember why. This is a nice park. Not outstanding. Not special. It's just...nice. 

      There's 7 hiking trails. All are nice walks in the woods. All were muddy in sections. There's an old coal mine on Trail 2. Blocked off for safety. 

    There's no beach, but they have an enormous pool. It has slides & everything. 

    This is a fishing park. Boating with electric motors, so a quiet lake. Fishing was fair according to my fishing guy.

    The Nature Center was inexplicably closed "for the season". Disappointing! 

    There's many boat launches & picnic areas. Cabins for rent. Boats for rent.

     We stayed at the electric campground. The sites are great- wooded. This is a well established campground. 

    The sites are all flat- ALL FLAT!!! No inclined sites at all! Unheard of in an Indiana State Park, but there you go.

    There's some train noise.

     The bathrooms/showers are KOA clean. Also unheard of in an Indiana State Park. I couldn't even find a spider web. Kudos to the park employees& camp hosts!

     We had a site by the lake, but there was no lake view & there was a steep incline to get down to the water.

      This campground has a beautiful fishing pier just for campers. 

    Bring an extension cord if you're in a pull through. If you want your door facing the fire pit- the electric box is in an awkward place.

     There's also another campground that has a mix of electric/full hookup & non electric sites. They have a beautiful bathhouse. 

    All in all a pleasant weekend. We camped at Shakamak State Park in a Travel Trailer.

Guide to Poland

Camping near Poland, Indiana ranges across the wooded hills and valleys of central and southern Indiana with elevation changes up to 400 feet. The region features mixed hardwood forests and multiple recreational lakes, creating distinct camping environments depending on your location. Campground occupancy peaks from May through October, with weekend reservations often filling 2-3 months in advance.

What to do

Hiking trails: Brown County State Park offers extensive trail networks with varying difficulty levels. "The park has a classic old CCC lodge (though you enter through the modern addition) so if you don't want to cook, eat at the restaurant (open till 8:PM), great food, generous portions," notes a visitor to Raccoon Ridge Campground.

Mountain biking: The area has become a destination for mountain bikers with purpose-built trails. At Buffalo Ridge Campground, one camper shared: "The mountain biking is excellent, with purpose built trails for beginner to expert (flow, berms, rollers, jumps...)."

Fishing access: Several campgrounds provide lake access for fishing. At Happy Campers Campground, visitors appreciate that it's "on a lake stocked with fish" with "plenty of room for kids or pets to roam and play."

Horseback riding: For equestrian travelers, dedicated facilities exist. "Brown County has always been the jewel of Indiana State Parks for Trail Riders. The campground is large, with spaces to accommodate larger rigs," according to a visitor to Horsemen's Campground.

What campers like

Privacy between sites: Some campgrounds offer more separation than others. A visitor to Taylor Ridge Campground noted: "The site we stayed in was lovely. It was backed up to the edge of the woods which made for a lovely view. Driving through the campground it looks like there are some sites pretty close together but ours wasn't too bad."

Clean facilities: Many campgrounds maintain high standards for bathhouses. One camper mentioned: "The bathrooms and showers were clean, and every DNR we spoke with was the best" at Raccoon Ridge Campground.

Lake views: Water access enhances many camping experiences. A Happy Campers Campground reviewer appreciated that it was "off the beaten path by a lake" making it a "great place to stop overnight or for a few days."

Fall foliage: The region transforms during autumn. "I highly recommend going in the fall, the trees and hills are alive and bursting with color," shares a visitor to Horsemen's Campground.

What you should know

Campsite selection matters: Sites vary significantly in size and levelness. At Taylor Ridge Campground, a camper advised: "I would say pay particular attention to the size of the site you're booking as some were pretty small. Also, some sites were fairly sloped as well."

Access limitations: Some campgrounds have specific entrance requirements. At Buffalo Ridge, campers should note that "the north entrance is through a covered bridge with a 9 foot clearance and 3 ton limit! Otherwise, use the easily accessible west entrance, just a few miles 'around the corner.'"

Seasonal challenges: Weather patterns affect camping conditions. A recent visitor mentioned: "There were trees down throughout the park including our campsite. It took a couple hours for them to come clean it up but even when the did they didn't do a complete job."

RV park transformations: Some properties have shifted focus. At Thousand Trails Horseshoe Lakes, a long-time visitor observed: "I have been to Thousand Trails in Indiana for 25 years and each time i visit i get more disappointed. Its no longer a campground but an RV park."

Tips for camping with families

Adventure opportunities: Look for properties with multiple activities. Buffalo Ridge Campground offers "year around camping with reduced services in the winter months. Seasonal outdoor pool, hiking trails, mountain bike trails, Abe Martin Lodge with a year around indoor pool, lakes, naturalist service, nature center and horse camping/trails."

Educational experiences: Several parks provide nature programs. At Rally Group Campground, families appreciate the naturalist services available throughout Brown County State Park.

Space for play: Some campgrounds provide more room for children. Happy Campers Campground offers "plenty of room for kids or pets to roam and play. Very clean and safe."

Nearby attractions: Consider off-site activities. Buffalo Ridge Campground visitors note it's "in close proximity to the artist village of Nashville, shopping, good dining and groceries."

Tips from RVers

Site dimensions: Research site specifics before booking for RV parks near Poland, Indiana. "The spots were accessible" at Cloverdale RV Park according to visitors, while at Taylor Ridge "some sites were pretty small" and "some sites were fairly sloped."

Utility placement: Hookup locations vary by campground. At Happy Campers Campground, the five full hook-up sites offer convenience, though water sources at Horsemen's Campground are described as "few and far between."

RV size limitations: Many rv parks in Poland, Indiana region have clearance or space constraints. A Buffalo Ridge visitor noted the importance of using the west entrance as "the north entrance is through a covered bridge with a 9 foot clearance and 3 ton limit."

Seasonal availability: Check operating schedules when planning. Most private rv parks near Poland, Indiana maintain longer seasons than state facilities, with Happy Campers Campground accepting reservations year-round while Horseshoe Lakes operates from "April 25 to October 20."
