Clean-up progress continues in the equestrian campground after a tornado came through in May 2025. All primitive horse camp sites are available for reservations, but only a handful of the electric horse camp sites are available at this time. Electric sites 89 - 107 can be reserved online. An additional block of electric horse camp sites are available as first-come, first-serve for walk-in registrations only, allowing the customer to see the damaged area firsthand before to determine firsthand if they want to stay in the horse camp. Many volunteers and staff have come together to dedicate a lot of resources toward the tree and debris removal, repairing the comfort station, and preparing the sites for campers again. Please contact the park with any specific questions, and please understand this is an ongoing work in progress. Check back here or on Facebook for updates.
Visitors and campground users should note that GPS directions may not always send you to the correct entrances.
All RVs and vehicles towing trailers MUST use the park's west entrance on State Road 46 two miles west of Nashville, Indiana. The park's north entrance east of Nashville has a historic covered bridge with a 9-foot height clearance and 3-ton weight limit. Oversized vehicles cannot use the north entrance.
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.
