We have been coming here every year since 2016. Most of the sites are shady. Our favorite site is 72. It is close to a water hookup if you need to top off your fresh water tank, shady, and not too close to other sites. They added a new shower house close by in 2022 or 2023.
Harmonie State Park looks like a great place for a family vacation. In addition to the campground with at least 2 playgrounds, there are trails, picnic areas and a boat ramp. We only stayed 1 night. Site 166 is big and on the end of a road. There's a restroom and water spigot within walking distance. They have showers but we didn't use them. Our only problem was 1 or more raccoons kept coming into our site. We shooed them away but they kept coming back. I'm sure they were just looking for food.
It had electeic hook up but we were tent camping early May 2024. The campsite is mostly hill with a wash out running through it. It is also the breeding site of thousands of Miner Bees. They were docile and no one got stung but they were everywhere from sun up to sun down the entire site hummed with bees. The entire ground was full of holes that they were coming in and out of. Close to bathroom/showers and a playground, fresh water source across the road.
Everything was well kept and clean. Multiple bath/shower houses on each loop. Push button showers. Takes about a minute to get water hot, but good after that. Dated, but clean and functional. The lights stay on 24/7 so bugs are in the shower house.
Multiple walking trails and bike trails. Nice shelter houses and picnic areas. Multiple playgrounds. Nature center in the campground. Many events scheduled for summer. New Harmony (town) is close by and a must stop. Nature walks, lots of unique history you will find nowhere else, quaint shopping, coffee shops, wine bar, dining, etc...
The pool has been filled in at the park. Very disappointing.
I was demolished by mosquitos and was covered in deet. Tried picaridin too. If you get the biters off you, the gnats were all over me too. Not sure if just time of year or maybe always this way (did rain multiple times).
Couldn't use mountain bike trails and most hike trails as it was too wet.
Suggest calling before making reservations because many of electric sites are not level, at all. Ask which would be best.
We had a great time here. Nice spaced out place. We stayed at site 192. It was at the back of the campground, but close to the bathrooms/showers and just across from the playground. It was close enough to walk to the Nature Center and grab ice cream. There’s even a hiking trail right behind. And not much through traffic since it’s in the back. Staff was extremely friendly. They had ice and firewood to purchase. Even the other campers were extremely friendly. We were only a few mins from downtown New Harmony. The coffee shop there was very good. Evansville was about 30 mins. We had to go get a new car battery there and DNR used a jump box to get us going. Very clean bathrooms and grounds. The only reason it didn’t get 5 stars were the showers. Older, took awhile to heat up, only had water for about 15 seconds at a time. Not easy to get a squirming toddler bathed. Better than nothing though. Great campground, highly recommend!
Had the campground to myself. Facilities for showering were fine. Park employees were very friendly. I saw some cabins at park that they rent out that looked like a good deal for the non camping people. Short drive away is the town of New Harmony. They seem to have a lot of events in summer and fall. Access to the Wabash River right at the park
We stayed at Miles Landing the weekend leading up to the Solar Eclipse in April 2024. Everyone was pleasant. Managment provided viewing glasses and arranged for a food truck.
What a gem of a park! From the stunning trails to the pristine lake, this place is a nature lover's paradise. The shower facilities are top-notch, ensuring a comfortable stay for all campers. One thing to note is the strict parking rule at camp sites, but don't worry, there's overflow parking available for visitors. It's enforced for everyone's safety and convenience. The highlight for many is the petting zoo—an absolute must-visit for campers of all ages. It's a fantastic experience that adds an extra layer of fun to your stay. While there's no on-site camp store, fret not! You're just a short drive away from a local dollar store and the famous Tastee Freeze. Trust me, their ice cream is out of this world, and the food is equally delightful. I highly recommend treating yourself to a visit. Overall, this park offers everything you need for a memorable camping experience. Can't wait to visit again!
A very peaceful place to camp with helpful rangers. There was a free petting zoo which was great but the animals seemed very discontented. The trails were interesting but vacant of trail markers and some plaques were vandalized from years before. Firewood is $8 a bundle and parking is $3 a day. Well priced and serene, but I would recommend this for people without children or someone looking for a camp away from any kind of excitement.
Our family loves this park. There is plenty to do or not do. Lake is great for fishing, also the beach is very nice. Pioneer village is so neat to walk around. Camper spots are a little small but nothing you can't work around. Park is very clean, personnel is very nice. Can't say enough nice things.
Stayed for 5 days , very nice park with lots to do, hiking, biking,fishing, bird watching. Hiked 3 trails all well kept. Trail 3 favorite. Good place to ride bikes. Shower house clean also new one just built. Wi-Fi was ok, was able to download email and get on company site for work, limited Verizon connection but some. Larges sites Staff friendly and helpful. Will go back again
We originally planned to tent camp the first weekend in October but with 30 degree temps and children, we decided to check out the cabins at Greene Sullivan. They did not disappoint. Heat was phenomenal. Vault toilets were well maintained. Beautiful views.
the heat was definitely a vibe killer. our tent trapped in so much heat and humidity it was INSANE. plots are very close together, so you have people around you. and animals start to become active around 8:30pm. we had some trouble with a few raccoons coming up to our table and having no fear to approach us. i suggest keeping a large stick with you. and bring a candle to keep bugs away. they’re everywhere and all over you. wouldn’t recommend trail #2 either. only trail i went on while i was there and i ran into at least 20 spiderwebs, a large bug chased us for another good 2 miles continuing to land on us and buzz in our ears. the trails are long with no mile markers, but very cool scenery on the way. the trail ended at a road, where you have to walk all the way back to camp (about 45 minutes) up hills and on the road.. ALSO LIVE BUGS IN SHOWERS!!
I live withing a half hour of this State Park and so far it is in my top 3 best campgrounds. The sites are mostly all shaded and very flat. They're nearly all drop and hook sites so very little need for leveling on nearly all sites. The lakes are nice to fish, kayak, or paddle boat on. The trails are nice as well. This park is a must for any type of camping.
Nice place to go camp in April. Nobody is there. Electric was available but no water as usual this time of year. No showers or flush toilets either. There is som construction going on and it should be nice when Summer comes and the regular camping season is open.
This state park was easy to find. We arrived about 4:45 PM as their Sunday check in time is 5:00 PM. There were still campers coming out of the park. Check in was super easy thanks to a very nice ranger. We proceeded 3 miles into the park to the campground(CG) loop areas. We were offered pull through site 20 if we didn’t want our reserved site 22 that was a back-in with electric(50/30 AMP) only. Site 22 was an easy back-in and its a large site so we stuck with this site. We paid$23 per night, plus$5 transaction fee, and$3.22 tax for this site. Upon arrival we payed a one-time$9(out of state) entrance fee. There are water spigots periodically spaced around the loops. Ours was about 55 feet from our site, which was convenient to fill our fresh water tank. There was a sign on the spigot not allowing splitters to connect for more permanent use. We were in one of the CG’s first loops, 16-28, that was pretty much empty during our two night’s stay Sun- Tue the first week week of June. We liked this loop’s privacy and space between sites. In the main campground areas(sites 60- 100s) the RV and tent sites were closer together but we did notice that a few sites around 118 had electric and water. There were quite a few restrooms/shower facilities smartly placed throughout the CG loops. This state park was among the cleanest and well maintain that we have experienced during our journeys.
This is a small state park in an out of the way part of the state. Located in Southwest Indiana, about 40 miles from Evansville.
This is a typical Indiana State Park. Some sites are pretty close together, some are spacious. There's electricity, but water is shared. Some sites have 50 amp, so when you're looking to reserve, check that out. IMO, the best site is site 39. It's at the end of the row, with somewhat secluded. It's a walk to the bathroom, but worth it. Site 22 is also a good site at the end of a row & has a trail from the site to the small pond.
Be sure to watch for the grade also. Some of the sites had a noticeable incline.
Bathrooms are pretty dismal. They smelled bad too. They need to start replacing these old, worn out comfort stations with something from this century! The nature center is in the campground & is pretty small. We enjoyed it though.
The camp store is in the park office& is ridiculous. Bring everything you need, cause you won't find it there!
8 trails the longest is 2.5 miles, the shortest.25 miles. There's also mountain bike trails & a 4 mile horse trail.
We stayed at Harmonie State Park for 4 nights Tue-Fri the second weekend of April. Unfortunately the weather was cold, windy, and rainy. I don’t know if it was the weather but the gnats were everywhere. We had a pull through site #40 is was very narrow but it had a beautiful view out our back windows. Water was available throughout the park. It was easy to hook up if we needed more water. Only 3 spigots were not uncovered yet. We had a raccoon visit our campsite and heard bobcats at night.
Take a tour of New Harmony if you like history. The town is beautiful most of the shops were not open during the week.
Overall the park is beautiful we just didn’t have great luck with the weather.
Very quiet though it is winter season. There is still water available and a place to dump. We camped close to the lake in a pull through site. This time of year very few campers. But everyone I encountered even park staff was very friendly.
Overall good experience. The staff was friendly and helpful. There is a small petting zoo at the park and in the morning they let the animals out to feed on the grass. So expect to see them in the campground. Harmless and unique. Bathhouse was extremely clean and well taken care of. The only thing I wish that would have been better, is the electrical hookups could probably be updated.
We camped here in the middle of October. The sites are very close together, so when the campsites are full you don't feel like you have much privacy or personal space. It was nice having full hookups for our camper, and there are plenty of hiking trails to get out and explore. Scales Lake is beautiful, my daughter enjoyed the playground and the petting zoo, and we'd probably like to come back, just maybe not on such a busy weekend.
This park is our absolute favorite State Park! We live within an hour of the park, and we’ve stayed here several times. The campground is nicely laid out, the sites are of a good size, and the activities at the park are great. There is a nice pool (open seasonally), three large lakes with great fishing, and miles of trails for all skill levels. Highly recommend!
Fairly new with great access to fishing. Bike riding enjoying nature. Several pull through sites and all are full hook up.
My wife and were at site 20 from 09/10/21 - 09/12/21 camping in a Winnebago Micro Minnie 2108 TB. This site appears to be one of the smaller of the electric campsites, we are new to RV camping and I am still gaining experience in backing our travel trailer into sites. Although one of the smaller sites I had no problem with backing. The site was very clean and all for staff that I interacted with were extremely helpful and friendly.
My wife and I camped at the Narrow Lake Campground here for 4 nights, but did not like it due to its proximity to a highway. Additionally, the electric sites near the lake (P1-P3) were unlevel. Although we were in a travel trailer the highway noise kept us up. Our hotspot had great connection which allowed me to work during the day.
Good and large campground I went during the middle of the week after Labor Day and I was able to find a nice secluded site 100 yards from the nearest camper The bathrooms were nice and clean I would stay here again
We recently stayed here for the Labor Day weekend. It was a smaller camp ground but that made it very quiet. The sites were very spacious and far enough apart that you had room to spread out. The bathrooms were probably the cleanest, nicest shower houses I’ve seen at a campground.
