Indianapolis KOA welcomes pets at its Greenfield location with several pet-friendly accommodation options including tent sites, RV spots, cabins, and glamping facilities. The campground features designated dog exercise areas throughout the property where pets can play off-leash. S and H Campground also accommodates pets in their tent sites, RV spaces, and cabins, with 450 total sites available. Both campgrounds maintain standard leash policies outside designated pet areas, requiring owners to clean up after their animals. Campers note the staff at Indianapolis KOA deliver firewood directly to campsites for $7 per bundle, allowing visitors to enjoy campfires with their pets nearby.
Mounds State Park Campground provides pet-friendly tent and RV sites year-round with electric hookups, allowing campers with dogs to enjoy extended stays during any season. Heartland Resort and Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park accept pets at their facilities, though reviews indicate Heartland's sites can be muddy after rainfall. The main challenge at S and H Campground involves dust from unpaved roads affecting campsites, particularly during busy holiday weekends. Most campgrounds near Greenfield maintain clean facilities, though bathroom quality varies between locations. For overnight travelers, it's important to note that despite some online information, the Greenfield Eastbound Rest Area explicitly prohibits overnight parking and camping according to posted signage.

"The pup loved the dog park."
"Not really an adult's pool, but that's ok by me) They loved petting and feeding the horses. Campsites were large. We even had an ice cream and watched a movie in the activities hall."
"Nobody cleans up after their dogs. All in all very grateful for a place to call home for a couple of months."
"Perfect distance from speedway."
$50 - $79 / night

"Nice state park in Indiana. Only offering electric hook up. Water locations could block traffic if camper does not park accurately. Store at Check in offered necessities. Hiking trails were nice."
"This is a nice state park outside of Anderson In. It has nice walking trails and is on the White river. There is a gorgeous swimming pool. The bath house is clean, but not the best."
$28 / night
"Our spot, like all around us was very long and nice, wide space between campers. We camped with a 38 foot travel trailer and a 20 foot Ford F250, and still had room(about the size of a golf cart)."
"It's just far enough off the beaten path, but close enough to everything."
"She helped with the reservation, she greeted us when we arrived, she even called to make sure we were doing ok driving it the first day."
"Lake at the campground is great to float around in on a hot summer day. We enjoyed the bus ride both days to see Dave Matthews Band."
"Wood’s Campground is located in Carthage,IN right off of Carthage Pike. Located 41 miles east of Indianapolis. I called to see if I needed to make reservations, and you do not."
$20 - $28 / night
"Beautiful lake for kayaking! If you don’t owe a kayak or canoe, they offer rentals. All sites are gravel with mature trees if you want shade or full sun. Pet friendly."
"Very large camping spots with huge lawns away from lake; This spot was #53. lakeside camping a little more packed in but more shade. Reserve early!"
ScoutWe stayed here on our way to Maine and loved the campground so much we chose to stay again on our way back. Everything was clean and well maintained, staff was very friendly and helpful. The pup loved the dog park.
RangerThis place is pretty awesome. It's doesn't have any of the typical summer amenities like a pool but the ones it does have are in tip top shape. Campsites also don't have fire rings but there are a bunch of communal ones around the lake. Plus free communal firewood. The laundry and bathhouse is really stellar too. Clean and open 24/7. Plenty of washers and dryers. There are easy back-ins and pull-thrus. Think some of the pull-thrus are for group camping too the way it's set up. Dog park, free cable (like 60 channels!) and internet (haven't tested strength yet)! I dig it!
ScoutBathrooms = -5 Showers = -100 Staff = 5 Campsites = 2. Could they make the sites any smaller? Camper next to you is right on top of you. Landscaping = 4 - just not kept up well at all. Dog Park = one, and it's a loooooooooooong ways away. I travel full-time. Stay at KOA's all the time. This is, by far, THE WORST KOA I have been to and, no matter what, I won't be back. Seriously bad. There's even a $10 charge if you leave the KOA and then try to return . What? I have to pay to get back to my things? It looks nice with the ponds... but truth be told, THE WORST KOA EVER - it's a dump compared to what is expected from a KOA. Uhg.
GuideThis was my first time visiting. It’s a very large campground with lots of amenities. I’ve noticed a lot of bad reviews on other platforms about potholes and mud, and although some of that is true, it seems to be mostly on the KOA side. The only major potholes I have encountered are upon entering and exiting near the ranger station. The lot is gravel and very large for my small rig which was cool. It was nice and level, so I didn’t have to do much. I have great service here with my T-Mobile 5g internet as well as my starlink. Because it’s off season, there isn’t a lot going on, but I’m ok with that. I also appreciated the dog park that was well maintained to give my pup some freedom to roam off leash. I would definitely recommend.
Update: The only negative things I encountered while staying at this campground were the loud golf carts with their music blasting until late at night on the weekends. It seems like the same person would just cruise up and down the roads all evening. The other thing that wasn’t really an issue for me (due to being off season) were the limited amount of washers/dryers for the size of the campground. I can’t imagine what it’s like during peak season.
TravelerI stayed with full hookups, but no cable (don't need it, so don't know if it's available) and we weren't close enough to connect to the WIFI (only close enough to occasionally see 1 bar pop up).
Friendly folks, catch and release fishing pond, and a pond with beach for swimming. Good size playground, jump pad, and off-leash"dog park" available as well.
On AT&T, I typically had 2 bars and no problem streaming music or browsing Facebook. My fellow travelers, on Sprint, said they had poor reception. I'm guessing 1 bar.
Worth noting that my wife said the water pressure in the shower house was fairly low. (I shower in the camper, so can't comment.) Water pressure was fine at our site, though. Also worth noting that many of the back-in sites can be pull-through if you get there when it's not busy.
LegendRanger Review: Grubstick at Holiday KOA Greenfield, Indiana. Campground Review: So, I’ve said it before, KOA’s are not my kind of camping. However I find myself once again with a KOA yearly membership. Why? Because several of the people whom I camp with enjoy the WiFi and other perks of staying at a KOA. I met my brother and his wife at the Holiday KOA https://koa.com/campgrounds/indianapolis/ right outside Indianapolis, Indiana for a very wet tent camp out. I towed my redneck “tent platform” and brought along plenty of tarpage. No kayak, the weather actually dipped into the high thirty’s and I am not a cold weather kayaker. Perks of this KOA are a very nice playground and wading pool area. So if you have younger children, ideal for you. There is a nice size dog park and you can get a nice walk in around the campground. They have delivery style pizza right on site and some planned activities on weekends. There is the aforementioned WiFi and the latrine is newer but lacking in hooks ( I’m a big hook person, where else am I supposed to hang my bathroom bag and clothes while showering or grooming at the sink?) The other issue with the latrine is there is only ONE for the entire campground. This is a nice size campground and it can be a good hike from the backside to the latrine, I know this because I had to make that hike more then once. The other issue with that is not everyone is willing to walk that far when they need to go, so where do you suppose they take care of their business? .... exactly! And then there’s my same old complaint of they fit a camper or tent into every square meter of this park, it can get very full and crowded. Excuse me while I look in your window or can over hear every word you say. Holiday was very well maintained to the point of mowing while I’m trying to set up my area and blowing grass all over everything, please don’t run over my dog...Otherwise we had fun looking for area happenings and shopping. I visited Fort Harrison State Park which was nearby. Product Review: As a Dyrt Ranger I get the opportunity on occasion to review outdoor oriented products. I had the chance to try out Grubstick https://grubstick.com/ and I can say I was excited! I am a campfire cooking kind of person and have tried out many contraptions, the Grubstick is a long time in coming. I say that because this ain’t your grandma’s wiener roasting stick or your moms wicked pointed metal fork that can put your eye out or trip you when it slides down the side of the chair leg. The most phenomenal part of the Grubstick is that the handle is.....RETRACTABLE!!! No more wedging the fork in the most inconvenient place or trying to fit it in your cooking box. The handle when not expanded can fit easily into your pocket, day pack, backpack, fannypack !!! To me that is AWESOME!! Revolutionary! Seems to be sturdier then ones I’ve seen in camp stores. Along with the handle comes two attachments and a easy open handle in a nice, durable carry bag, LOVE IT. Christmas gifts all around! And this was before I checked it out. I have two “sets” and unfortunately one of the sticks broke after only a few retractions and extensions. Perhaps I was too vigorous in my extension technique? So carefully extend your grubstick when using. Otherwise it worked like a dream! And the other stick had no issues, so maybe just a flaw in that one stick? I haven’t contacted the company yet, but I will see how they are about returns or replacements. I roasted some sausages and we toasted some marshmallows for s’mores. The pack up was easy too, nice carry bag to put it all in, I usually carry or reuse a freezer type bag for “dirty” silverware etc. I removed the fork head off the Grubstick and it went right in. No MESS! No Long Pointy Stick with goo at the end to wrap and store. Love it! I didn’t use the Grubstick basket while camping so I pulled it out at the house to add some footage and testing. If Grubstickadds a pie pan attachment, I’m one of the first in line to get it!! Happy Camp Cooking ;)
ScoutShort hike to the lake. Great beach area and shower facilities. Pet friendly, horse trails, camp store. Liberty is a short drive and has all essentials plus J’s Dairy Inn 🤤
GuideNice sites. Diverse group of campers. Anything from people with full size house refrigerators in bed of pickup truck to people with their pet rabbits
LegendIndian Lakes Campground is 10 minutes east of downtown Batesville, an hour to the east of Indianapolis and an hour to the west of Cincinnati. With over 1000 sites they offer a KOA section, year round leased sites, Thousand Trails sites and individual sites. We’re a married couple in our forties traveling with two dogs and a cat in our 37 foot motorhome and members of Thousand Trails. We arrived on April 3rd, the day prior to Indiana Covid-19 stay at home restrictions. The property owners were gracious enough to allow us to extend our stay beyond the normal 14 day limit for our personal safety. We were assigned a 50 amp site with water and sewer in loop 4B. This is an open loop with very few trees for shade. Immediately across from our site is a large field about the length of a football field. We can see the lake in the distance past the recreation and pool areas. During our stay we did not access the restroom, laundry, recreation or store areas as we were practicing social distancing. We plan to make many return trips to this campground in the future. Because we were the first to stay in our site since the campground closed for the winter season we had a little site maintenance/pickup to perform but nothing too out of the norm. The noise from the highway can only be heard about once a week. On weekends there’s an increase in golf-cart users and most neighbors are respectful during quiet hours.
Greenfield, Indiana camping options sit at an elevation of around 900 feet in the central Indiana plains, with seasonal temperatures ranging from 20°F in winter to over 85°F in summer. The area features multiple waterways including the White River and several lakes that support fishing and water recreation activities. Most campgrounds remain open from April through October, with limited winter availability at select locations.
Fishing at Summit Lake: Summit Lake State Park Campground offers year-round electric sites with fishing access to a 2.5-mile long lake. "Lots of trees. The showers were your typical camp showers not great but not horrible. There was a large lake that one could enjoy fishing on. Also some great hiking trails in the area," notes Lisa M. about the park's amenities.
Outdoor recreation at White River: White River Campground provides access to hiking and biking trails along with river activities. According to David R., "This is a great campsite attached to a wonderful park with great trails." The campground features boat launching facilities on the White River and connects to nearby trail systems.
History exploration: Mounds State Park showcases ancient Native American earthworks with interpretive trails. "Mounds State Park just struck me as a perfect spot to field trip to if you homeschool your children. Located in Chesterfield, IN the park is small but has a lot of historical, geographical and natural information to be had," writes Shelly S.
Spacious sites: Indianapolis KOA receives praise for its generous campsite layout. One camper noted, "We tented for two nights here. The lot was spacious but had a big hill, which made sitting in chairs around a camp fire interesting." The campground maintains well-spaced sites even during busy periods.
Family amenities: Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park offers extensive recreational facilities for families. According to Tiana K., "Wide pull through spots with fire pits, picnic tables and plenty of grass. Tons to do with the kids, organized activities are well done. Staff stays on top of everything and is super helpful. You can rent pedal bikes, pedal boats, store is well stocked."
Clean facilities: Campers consistently mention the cleanliness of facilities at Mounds State Park Campground. According to Jacob A., "This was our second trip to the campground and first trip with a camper. Nice small park, overall things were quiet. There is a railroad track nearby, but the noise is not bothersome. I love the trails and the mounds."
Site conditions after rain: Heartland Resort can have drainage issues during wet weather. Gary B. reported, "The power and water pressure was just fine. The campsite was muddy and needed maintenance. Let's just say it was 'Rustic'. Office staff were very polite."
Road noise: Some campgrounds experience highway noise due to proximity to major roads. According to David C. regarding Mystic Waters Campground, "This is a great campground for RVs and cabins, but unfortunately not for tents as the highway 69 is too noisy. Also there are not a lot of trees."
Bathroom facilities vary: S and H Campground bathrooms receive mixed reviews. Jessica D. observed, "The only thing we didn't like was the bathroom conditions. The floor tiles were breaking off and there was certainly a mold issue. We went on a 22 day cross country road trip and this was the only shower I didn't shower in."
Water features for kids: S and H Campground offers multiple water and play areas. Nick W. shares, "Very nice campground. They have a little section full of carnival like rides. Several playgrounds! Campground big and spacious, highly recommend."
Dog friendly options: Several campgrounds near Greenfield welcome pets with dedicated areas. Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park offers pet-friendly sites and cabins. Debbie S. notes, "This is just a really cute park to camp in, especially with kids. There is an abundance of activities to keep you and the little ones happy, especially around holidays."
Seasonal activities: Most family-oriented campgrounds offer structured activities from May through September. Claire M. reports about S and H, "Looking for a monthly campsite in the Indianapolis area proved to be a challenge. We were so unsure about staying here as reviews were hit or miss. Decided to take a gamble and give it a try and it's been great! Friendly service, lots to do for the kiddos."
Leveling requirements: Summit Lake State Park Campground sites often need significant leveling adjustments. Marshall P. advises, "Our site was a pull through and, while level left to right, required a good bit of leveling front to back." Bringing extra leveling blocks is recommended.
Hookup access: White River Campground offers three distinct camping sections with varying amenity levels. Jeremiah G. explains, "White River Campground is divided up into A-B-C sections. A is accessible. B is full hookup with sewer and C is water/elec only and tent camping."
Site selection for big rigs: Large RVs may have difficulty at certain campgrounds. Michelle M. notes about Indianapolis KOA, "Very friendly staff. This was our first ever outing with our class A. The grounds were clean and safe. It's very close to an interstate so it's not exactly a picturesque setting. The pricing seems high for what it is."
