Guide⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!
GuideGreat place to stay. Full hook ups, about 90 percent level sites. 33 RV sites and 3 or 4 primitive camp sites. The main bathhouse is pretty clean, included laundry, and a great host and hostess (Mark and Denise). The only bad is the price hikes here. One would think MWR would throw money towards some things...like a dog park, some leveling, lights at the kids playground, and MWR sponsored and paid for holiday parties/outings for vets, retirees, and all the active here on base. But nope, just collecting revenue without any beanies. Anyway, the host keeps it grounded.
Traveler50A service, no water or sewer at the site. Fill your fresh tank on the way in. There’s a dump station on the property, so emptying on the way out is easy.
Site is mostly level with partial shade. The approach is the one thing to watch: 293 isn’t angled off the road, so it’s a tighter back-in than most. We’re towing a 33’ Airstream Classic and made it first try with no issues, so bigger rigs can absolutely get in here. Just take it slow. Once parked, there’s plenty of room, and the spacing between sites is better than most state park campgrounds we’ve stayed in. Bathhouse is only a few sites down.
Cell signal ran about 2 bars. We’re on Starlink so it didn’t matter, but plan accordingly if you work from the road.
Park staff are the highlight. Stephanie checked us in and could not have been more accommodating. Friendly, quick, genuinely helpful.
ScoutWe happened across this place and couldn’t have found a more friendly place to camp. Owner introduce himself right away and told us all about the area and history of campground. Pool wasn’t open yet but nice safe place to camp.
GuideThis is a beautiful park with lots of amenities. The sites have paved pads but very few are level - weird. Lake access, wooded and sunny sites.
GuideLevel sites, electric and sewer at each site, clean facilities, camp ground clean. Was quite less the muffled sounds of the gun range for reserve troops training/qualifying. Mark the host was very helpful and inviting. Free laundry facilities. There is no WiFi, cell coverage was good. I used a Starlink and worked great. This RV park is on base and you need verified access. Overall it’s a nice place for the price (stayed 5 days).
LegendThe Indianapolis KOA was easy to find just off I-70. We had heard that check-in involved a tight turn near the office, but we had no issues navigating the turn with our 40’ fifth wheel and F450. Check-in was quick and easy, and we proceeded to deluxe Paw Pen Site D55, a pull-through with full hookups. We’ve stayed at KOAs with Paw Pens before, but this location had the largest fenced dog area we’ve seen to date, which was a nice surprise. Cell coverage was solid with 3 bars on both Verizon and T-Mobile. The campground has a lot of mature trees, so satellite service could be challenging depending on site location. For this overnight stay, we used our T-Mobile Home Internet and saw 35.4 Mbps download speeds instead of deploying Starlink. Campground Wi-Fi was available but slow at 3.89 Mbps download. The laundry room was clean and well maintained, with large washers and dryers. There was signage noting that the well water may stain white clothing, but we washed some white items without any issues. Take a few minutes to read the campground rules—they’re surprisingly hilarious and worth the laugh. Overall, this was a great overnight stop and one of the better KOA stays we’ve had.
ScoutQuick two night stay for us but although our first time here was short we will certainly be back. Campground is clean and very well maintained. Owners are very involved and run things very thoughtfully.
They were able to accommodate our 44ft 5th wheel and navigating to the site was simple. Can’t wait to come back and visit.

Hiking extensive trail networks: Morgan-Monroe State Forest features multiple trails including the challenging 10+ mile Three Lakes and Low Gap trails. "There are a lot of trails to hike 2 of them are over 10 miles (lower gap and three lakes).

Mountain biking on dedicated paths: The region offers extensive biking opportunities across multiple parks. "We've camped here several times and have always enjoyed it. When tent camping and want something quiet and a place with great trails, this is a good place to go," shares Ginger T. about Morgan-Monroe State Forest.
Water recreation on multiple lakes: Access nearby lakes for fishing and boating within minutes of most campgrounds. A visitor at Ransburg Scout Reservation mentions, "Located on Monroe lake, they have canoeing, row boats, sailboats, motor boats, and skiing. Lots of fun activities to do, and great hiking trails."
Secluded camping options: Many sites offer privacy and quiet settings away from busier campgrounds. "This is my favorite forest with traditional camping, backwoods camping, and a wonderful secret pioneer cabin for rent. This is the best camping within an hour on Indianapolis and if your looking for free and solitary sites try the backwoods camping area," says Sars C. about Morgan-Monroe State Forest.
Family-friendly amenities: Yogi Bears at Lake Monroe caters specifically to families with children. "It is definitely for kids. They have a huge splash park, wading pool for toddlers, and a 4 foot pool besides tons of interactive activities for kids," explains Pamela H. Another camper adds, "We came here in 2017 with a group of friends and camped in the primitive camping area. It was an awesome set up and we had a great time."

Reservation timing: Peak season campsites fill quickly, especially on weekends from May through September. "This campground is busy all season so book a long time in advance," advises a camper about Brown County State Park.
Site variations: Campground layouts and site quality vary significantly throughout the area. "We had to nearly lower my tongue to the ground to get it level," reports Joe M. about a sloped site at Jellystone Park. Another camper mentions, "Pull through sites are spacious. Trees are young, across the road from Brown County national forest so hiking galore."
Seasonal weather concerns: The area experiences distinct seasons affecting camping comfort. "Even though it's hot outside today, there's lots of shade and a breeze," notes a summer visitor at Hoosiers On The Ridge, which offers primitive sites backing up to Yellowwood State Forest.
Planned activities for kids: Several campgrounds offer scheduled programs. "We went around Halloween time so the kids participated in a costume contest, pumpkin decorating contest, and trick or treat. The water park was a huge hit with the kids as well," shares Ryan G. about Jellystone Park.
Playground access: Look for campgrounds with play areas for children. "Playground for the kiddos was a plus for us. Nice bathroom and shower facilities," mentions a visitor at eXplore Brown County which features additional activities like zip lines and paintball.
Site selection for families: Request sites away from main roads for safety. "Some camps sites were nice and spacious others had no privacy. Most of the campground is shaded though," notes Elana C. about eXplore Brown County, adding "The ATV and ropes course on site were excellent!"
Size restrictions: Many forested campgrounds cannot accommodate larger RVs. "The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is, we are RV campers and there are only about 5 sites we could get in to. Our camper is about 25' and it was tight get in and out of the campground," warns Ron H. about Morgan-Monroe State Forest.
Hookup placement issues: Check utility locations before setting up. "Whereas power and water were reasonably placed, the sewer was setup in a manner that waste water had to flow uphill," reports Chris about Jellystone Park at Lake Monroe.
Level site availability: Some campgrounds feature uneven terrain challenging for RVs. "Our site as well as all the other pull throughs close by should have had services setup on the opposite side," notes a reviewer about site layout issues that affect leveling.
