Campers regularly cited spacious, well-treed sites perfect for hammocks and tents near Blue River. Basic facilities include fire pits and port-a-potties but no showers. Expect daytime noise from kayaking tour groups.

Secluded and shaded

Nice size site with fire ring and picnic table. Lots of trees- so great tree canopy and plenty of hammock. Nice size pieces of wood and large bundles. The end of a kayaking trip is there so the buses to pick up kayakers are in and out and gets pretty busy at the end of the day. We were also there on an absolutely beautiful summer day so business may have been heavier than normal. Great place to camp right off kayak, but don't expect a shower. 2 port a pots, no running water except the river in front of you. I'll be back!

Nice and secluded

Came here for a weekend getaway with friends during a COVID-19 Labor Day weekend. The campground is very secluded right off Blue River. A canoe/kayaking company actually ends one of their river trips there so during the day it could be a bit noisy when those groups come in. Sites are relatively close but you still have plenty of your own space. Each site comes with a fire pit and picnic table. Plenty of trees to hang up a hammock and empty space to pitch a tent. There were 2 port-o-potties onsite and 1 garbage bin.

Close to Marengo Cave, the Indiana Shoe Tree and a bunch of Canoe trip companies.
