Best Dispersed Camping near Woodburn, IN

3 Reviews

Chain O'Lakes State Park offers some dispersed camping options near Woodburn, Indiana, though information about costs varies.

Delphos Section along the Buckeye Trail provides free primitive camping about 40 miles east of Woodburn in Ohio. This hike-in site is located just off the trail (0.17 mile) near Hipp's Lock on the old Miami-Erie Canal towpath. According to reviews from The Dyrt, the area "has space enough for perhaps two tents, with metal fire ring, and plenty of deadfall for that small survival TV fire." Campers must follow Leave-No-Trace principles as no facilities are provided, but the pond environment offers natural ambiance with tree frogs and bull frogs.

    Delphos Section - Buckeye Trail (Points 18-19)

    On the trail respite

    You're learning to backpack the Buckeye Trail, and you want to know where and how you can camp along the trail. This primitive site is located a short hop (.17 mile) off the trail adjacent to Hipp's Lock, part of the old Miami-Erie Canal towpath.  There's space enough for perhaps two tents, with metal fire ring, and plenty of deadfall for that small survival TV fire. The pond is filled with wildlife, and the tree frogs and bull frogs will lull you to sleep. Another Boy Scout project that benefits the Buckeye Trail. You'll need to Leave-No-Trace, as it's a primitive site, but it's a welcome respite from the road walking of this section.

    Chain O'lakes State Park Dispersed Campsite

    "Free, never heard of that app."

    Although it states in the app free dispersed camping. Doesn't always mean just that. The cheapest campsite at primitive camping is $12 bucks. (Tent sites) For more, you can get electric hookup sites galore that all include a fire ring picnic table and a pretty leveled out spot.
