But it's loud all night because it's a truck stop."

      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!

      Buffalo Ridge Campground — Brown County State Park

      We absolutely LOVED this park! It was hands down our favorite of this year. We camped at site 100 and it has a neighbor on one side and behind while the other side was a huge open space. It is in the center of a loop. It was mostly level. There was some minor doming to the site but not bad at all. It was a busy camp ground but not as crowded (sites not on top of each other) as some I’ve been in. The outsides of the loops did have more space between and privacy but could be smaller or more sloped, it just really depended. The bathrooms and showers were cleaner than some of the other state parks we have been to, so much so my 11 year old son mentioned it. The park itself is absolutely gorgeous. The hiking trails (which is what we usually go for) were nice but I believe that the biking trails were actually more scenic than the hiking trails and a lot more rugged. We liked trail 8 starting from the west lookout tower and stopping at Hesitation Point for lunch/break/bathroom. Trail 6 was also a pretty, rugged, shorter trail. The Nature Center was also nicer than a lot of the others we have been to in the state. We did choose to do horseback riding at the stables. We showed up about 5 minutes after opening and were able to pay and told to come back in an hour and 45 minutes. That didn’t bother us since we had the time but if you are on a tighter schedule, the earlier the better. We also went into Nashville and it was a very cute town to visit. Well decorated for Halloween, very walkable, and a little something for almost everyone. Prices were about what I would expect for a tourist town but not terrible. I also have T-Mobile and had pretty good service almost everywhere in the park.

      Little loop pull off with a stone fire pit in the middle. Walking trail goes down to a swampy pond.

      Late September

      Nice, quite, and relaxing stay. Fire rings need to be upgraded. They were small and rusted out.

      Bill Monroe Memorial Music Park & Campground

      Fun Event Location

      We stayed for the weekend during a Campout event. Lots of fun seeing all of our camping buddies. I don’t think we would camp here otherwise as it isn’t really our type of camping. Sites are close together, so don’t expect privacy. Porta potties had not been serviced from their previous event… needless to say, it was foul. The country music museum was pretty cool. The guide was very knowledgeable!

      Hoosier National Forest South Slope Loop Campground

      Great sites

      Each campsite has trees encircling them for mostly shade and a little more privacy. Only thing they could do is add more full hook up sites. Shower houses and restrooms are very well kept.

      O'Bannon Woods State Park Campground

      Alright not my favorite park in the area

      Campground seemed like a tight fit coming in near dark fall. Lots of shaded sites. Storm ran through that night and lots of dead limbs came down all over. Got a hole in my roof. Overall decent stay and had a cool neighbor

This area experiences four distinct seasons with humid summers, colorful falls, and moderate winters. Most campgrounds maintain gravel pads and are situated within 30 miles of Salem, with highest occupancy occurring during fall color season from mid-October through early November.

    What to do

    Hiking trails access: Brown County State Park offers multiple trail options ranging from easy to difficult. "The park has lots of different trails, a nature center, a pool, a lodge with a pool/park, large and small cabins for rent, various overlooks, playgrounds, historical sites, a fire watch tower you can go in, beautiful gathering places, daily activities throughout the park, a horse stables, amphithéâtre, a restaurant, a gift store, and much more," notes Anna A. about Horsemen's Campground.

    Mountain biking adventures: The park contains almost 30 miles of purpose-built trails for riders of all skill levels.

Fall weekends see the highest trail usage with an average of 150+ cyclists daily.

    Boating opportunities: Some campgrounds provide direct water access for fishing and boating. At Horseshoe Bend RV Campground, campers appreciate the "great views of the Ohio River and an occasional barge," according to Randy S. This campground maintains a dedicated boat ramp with parking for trailers.

    What campers like

    Spacious wooded sites: Many campgrounds feature mature trees and natural spacing between sites. At Raccoon Ridge Campground, "Tons of campsites and most have decent trees and privacy (even many of the electric/RV spaces looked nice). As tent campers, we stayed in raccoon ridge which was excellent (quiet)," reports Melissa W.

    Clean facilities: Restrooms and shower houses are typically well-maintained across most campgrounds. Brian O. notes: "All the rest rooms are spotlessly clean. We were there mid-week, so very few of the 480 (!) sites were occupied, except in Buffalo Ridge, the primary RV loop."

    Seasonal activities: Campgrounds often organize special events throughout the year. "Went for fall break & their Halloween week! So much fun," says Shannon C. about Raccoon Ridge Campground. Many campgrounds decorate for Halloween with organized trick-or-treating during October weekends.

    What you should know

    Elevation and terrain: The region has significant elevation changes requiring leveling equipment for most RVs. "The park is situated in massive hills and valleys," notes one reviewer about Horsemen's Campground. Another camper at Taylor Ridge Campground advises, "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."

    Site selection strategy: Research specific site dimensions before booking. "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," advises Amanda D. about Taylor Ridge Campground. Sites on outer loops typically offer more privacy than interior locations.
