With a handful of campsites that come equipped with picnic tables and fire rings, it’s perfect for cozy evenings spent around the fire, sharing stories and roasting marshmallows.

The Best Camping Near Patriot, Indiana

This is an awesome quiet campground tucked away in northern KY along the Ohio River. There are 10-12 dispersed campsites with fire rings and picnic tables. No electric, no water, porti potti at park entrance. Would need to drive if camping at the top of the hill or bring a camp toilet. Great views and semi secluded. 

Hidden Getaway

Great free camping. This property was great. Gravel roads and grass trails to the campsites. Evenings were quiet. I would absolutely stay here again if passing through.

Hidden Gem

Great empty fields with tables and fire pits, as well as free camping

Great spot but far from shops only one

It's quiet, and each of the 10 campsites are easy to find.  There is no hookup, but each site has a picnic table and fire ring.    Most smaller rigs won't have a problem, and we saw several cars on the narrow and rough gravel road.    We look forward to exploring the miles of trails on this park.

Perfect offgrid campsite

Stayed here two nights. The first night at campsite #10, which didn't really have level ground, so we moved to #8 for night two. Each spot has a picnic table and fire ring. The main road was nice to drive on, but the others were pretty rough. Had spots for hammocks, and the portopotty was well maintained. The spots were all pretty secluded. Great remote location!
