Set within the forested terrain of Yellowwood State Forest, The Lodge provides full-hookup camping with electric, water, and sewer connections for RVs. The campground sits near the lake and offers access to fishing, biking trails, and kayaking opportunities. Campers can enjoy campfires and bring pets, with picnic tables and restrooms available on-site.
The facility operates as a drive-in campground with a dump station for convenience. Yellowwood State Forest sits less than half a mile north, while Brown County State Park lies four miles east for additional recreation options. Reservations help secure spots during peak seasons.
Description
Yellowwood State Forest was created in 1940 when federal land was leased to the state of Indiana. The land was deeded to the state in 1956. Prior to that time, the Civilian Conservation Corps and Works Project Administration completed three lakes, a shelter house, and a residence, all still in use.
More than 2,000 abandoned and eroded acres were planted to pine (red, jack, shortleaf, white, and scotch), black locust, black walnut, white, and red oak. Red and white pines are the true northern pines and are still in good condition. The other pines are succumbing to insects, disease, and extremely cold winters.
Yellowwood Lake was completed in 1939. The 133-acre lake is about 30 feet deep.
