**Effective July 8, 2025, all primitive horse sites and a handful of electric horse sites (89 through 107) will be open for new reservations. Most of the electric horse sites will remain closed for several months until major electric repairs can be made. The shower house in the equestrian electric campground is still closed due to damage sustained during the tornado, however, there are two vault toilets and some water hydrants available for use by electric horse campers. A small nightly fee reduction has been put into place on the reservation system for the 19 electric sites to compensate for the lack of a shower house. Those customers with existing reservations on the 19 electric sites that are re-opening will receive a small refund for $4.00 per night. These will take a couple of weeks to process. Those customers with reservations on sites that will remain closed will be contacted, and reservations will be automatically cancelled and fully refunded for them within 3 to 7 business days. Please check back here or on Brown County's Facebook page for updates.**

Rally Group Campground is located in Brown County State Park near Nashville, Indiana. The terrain consists of rolling hills and dense forests, providing a natural setting for camping.

Description
Nicknamed the "Little Smokies" because of the area's resemblance to the Great Smoky Mountains, Brown County encompasses nearly 16,000 acres of rugged hills, ridges and fogshrouded ravines. Glaciers from the most recent ice ages stopped short of the "hills o'Brown," but their meltwaters helped create the narrow ridges, steep slopes and deep gullies of Brown County State Park. Indiana's largest park is a traditional fall color hot spot, with nearly 20 miles of tree-lined roads and many scenic vistas overlooking miles of uninterrupted forestland.
Campground Check-in/Check-out times are 2 PM Mondays through Saturdays and 5 PM on Sundays and Holidays.
