    Versailles State Park accommodates equestrian campers with Horseman's Camp, a specialized area for overnight horse camping. The campground features electric hookups with both 30-amp and 50-amp service, water connections, sewer hookups, and sanitary dump facilities. Sites include picnic tables and fire rings where fires are permitted. Most sites in the park offer some shade but slope can vary significantly between locations. The park maintains an extensive network of horse trails throughout its 5,988 acres, making it the second largest state park in Indiana. Sites require reservations and pets are allowed at the campground.

    Located 1387 E US Highway 50 in Versailles, Horsemen's Camp at Whitewater Memorial State Park provides another option for equestrian camping in the region. This facility offers electric and water hookups, showers, toilets, and a sanitary dump station. The camp connects directly to bridle trails that wind through wooded terrain with varying levels of difficulty. Trail systems accommodate both novice and experienced riders with routes that include creek crossings and scenic overlooks. Horse trails are well-marked but some riders note that poison ivy is prevalent along paths during summer months. The campground's proximity to water features allows horses cooling opportunities after trail rides, particularly important during warmer seasons. Primitive horse camping was added to the park through coordination between the Indiana Trail Riders Association, DNR and volunteers.

      Clifty Falls State Park Campground

      Don't Recommend Non-Electric Sites

      Out of all places I've camped in Indiana, this is, by far, the worst. Please note that this is for the non-electric sites. Reasons for the low rating:

      • the firewood that they sell to you is complete crap. It's so wet and damp that you can't burn it. We have had to take every single batch back we've purchased cause it's so bad. They don't do refunds.
      • The playground is so close to most campsites in the non-electric section. I'd recommend getting as far away as possible as the screams of children echo like birds flying throughout the campground.
      • Not the park's fault, but raccoons are horrible here. I'm talking, "walk up to your campfire as you're sitting next to it and steal food that's on the burner" bad. Lol.

      We were lucky enough to find a campsite (#118) very far away from the playground which was surrounded by grasses that separated the campsites surrounding you which was very nice. Again, the raccoons were horrible though.

      Versailles State Park Campground

      Large campsites, pool ,lake activities, others

      Versailles State Park is the second largest state park in Indiana. Within the last year with the coordination of the Indiana Trail Riders Association, DNR and volunteers, primitive, overnight, horse camping was added to the park. Several more miles of horse trails were opened and a mountain bike trail section was also added to the park. Plans are in place for more mountain biking trails and a fourty-five site electric and water Horsemans camp, to be completed in phases. This is a very clean park, large pool, hiking and lake activities available. Bald eagles have been spotted in the park along with local wildlife. The local restaurants are family owned and offer large portions if casual dinning is in store, with homemade desserts.

      A.J. Jolly Park & Campground

      AJ Jolly campground

      Expensive for what it has to offer. At 48.00 bucks a night yes they do have WIFI in the RV section. They do have concrete pads. It’s a shame they are worthless they are to small to park the average RV on an are on the wrong side of most rigs unless you pull in 1/2 the sites the electric is on the wrong side. The sites are gravel and not level the rest rooms are new and nice. The horse stalks are very nice. If you have a large horse trailer type camper your screwed the sites are small so that only leaves you with the RV sites that are a few 100 feet away from the stables If you want to walk threw the drainage ditch add about 300 ft if you don’t want to walk threw the muck. It’s a shame when they paved the entry road they didn’t spend a little more. “Grant money “ or tax money an do it properly. The main play ground is extremely nice. About 1/3 Mile walk. They do have a small playground in the rv section. For horses again they have a nice setup for big RVs it Sux they have a dump station. Situated in between the entry road to the Fkatwood rv section and equestrian area The main lake is nice you can rent kayaks canoes. Or use your own boat. The boat ramp is nice the other end of the lake at the flat wood rv section. Is t really a lake it’s a back water shallow mud hole depending on the time of the year. Mosquitoes the size of jet fighters. Will rather eat you alive or carry you off. “Lol sorry could t resist “ it gets bad the park is clean and well maintained Except for the camp sites

      Hueston Woods State Park Campground

      Great place to stay, just watch your reservation

      Hueston Wood, a real gem. The park is about 3000 acres with a beautiful sailing / fishing lake. There is a beautiful lodge and golf course, archery range, and plenty of hiking paths and equestrian paths.

      The biggest issue for us was the description of the site at C36 was nothing like the description. We approached the staff in the office and they expressed no concern in helping us. One camping family left due to the office staff's attitude.

      Ok, now for the positive! We met one of the volunteers, Gary, who was able to find us a site to hold our 34 foot motorhome. He made our July 4th weekend, couldn't have been more accomodating. 

      Sites have 30A electric and there is plenty of potable water available around the campground, just not at the site. Each site has a fire ring and a picnic table. At the A and B loop there was plenty of space around the site to spread out. 

      The dump station is fairly new and can accommodate 2 RV's. Though most site are grass, some have gravel, but the A loop sites are full hookup and concrete or paved (but not all flat). When setting reservation and with an RV over 20ft, shoot for A or B loop.

      The grounds are just beautiful, hiking trails great but not all marked well. A place we will return.

      Whitewater Memorial State Park Campground

      Awesome campground for Kayakers

      Whitewater Memorial State Park is located close to Liberty Indiana and is our favorite between the two major parks on Brookville Lake. It has water access to both Brookville and Whitewater lakes. The campground facilities are newly updated with two large shower/bath houses. A few of the campsites are buddy sites that allow you to camp with a friend and share the same area. Many fishermen and kayakers frequent the lake trails.

    Guide to Versailles

    Versailles State Park spans 5,988 acres in southeastern Indiana at an elevation of about 925 feet. The park's terrain includes wooded hills, valleys with limestone outcroppings, and a 230-acre lake. Camping areas feature significant elevation changes with sites positioned at various levels throughout the park's rolling landscape.

    What to do

    Biking and hiking trails: Versailles State Park offers extensive trail systems for various activities beyond horseback riding. "One of our staple campgrounds. Has great bike trails & walking trails," notes Shannon C. about Versailles State Park Campground.

    Kayaking on Brookville Lake: Access multiple water bodies for paddling adventures. "Whitewater Memorial State Park is located close to Liberty Indiana and is our favorite between the two major parks on Brookville Lake. It has water access to both Brookville and Whitewater lakes," explains Brandie B. about Whitewater Memorial State Park Campground.

    Historical structures: Explore regional landmarks during your camping trip. "Beautiful covered bridge," mentions Michael W., highlighting architectural points of interest near Versailles State Park.

    What campers like

    Well-maintained facilities: Campers appreciate the clean amenities throughout the parks. "Clean bathrooms" is a consistent positive mentioned by Shannon C. at Versailles State Park Campground.

    Seasonal activities: The parks offer different experiences throughout the year. "We love the Halloween festivities! It is so fun to see all the costumes and the decorations all over the campground. We plan to make it an annual tradition!" shares Jessie W. about camping at Versailles State Park.

    Lake recreation: Multiple water access points provide diverse fishing and boating opportunities. "Very nice campground and park. Well set up. Easy to get around. Clean restrooms and showers. Nice lake to kayak on," describes Michael W.

    What you should know

    Site selection matters: Careful research of specific campsites is recommended. "We had a nice level, shaded campground. Some sites are not level at all. So be sure to read up on the site you want before you book it," advises Burns G.

    Loop characteristics vary: Different camping areas have distinct features and terrain. "Loop C site 202. This is a nice site. Easy to back in. Nestled up to some trees. Not good for tents. Pad is long," shares Mike F. about Johnson County Park.

    Weekend congestion: Parks can become crowded during peak times. "It's usually not too rowdy here unless you visit on a booked holiday weekend," mentions Jessie W., noting the difference between weekday and weekend camping.

    Tips for camping with families

    Swimming options: The parks offer various water recreation facilities for children. "The pool is nice, and the kids love the slides and diving board. They also have a fenced in area for small children with a baby pool and sprinkler," shares Jessie W.

    Playground availability: Check which campgrounds have play facilities for different age groups. "There are playgrounds available," notes Brent C. about Clifty Falls State Park Campground, describing the family-friendly amenities.

    Wildlife awareness: Prepare for encounters with local fauna. "Watch out for the raccoons they are pretty aggressive and were all over our campsite. Clearly they are used to getting handouts, so keep your foodstuffs in your vehicle or well secured," warns John F.

    Tips from RVers

    Limited dump stations: Plan for potential wait times when departing. "I would also note that there is only one dump station for the three campgrounds so there can be quite the line when trying to get out of there on Sunday afternoon," Jessie W. cautions about Versailles State Park.

    Hookup options: Research utility connections before booking. "The campground features electric hookups with both 30-amp and 50-amp service," shares Stephen & Theresa B. about Hueston Woods State Park Campground, providing details about available amenities.

    Level sites vary: Be prepared to make adjustments depending on your campsite. "A loop is pretty open without a lot of shade. B & C have lots of shade but the sites are either not very level or not very big," explains Kristene B. about campsite options.
