    Mounds State Recreation Area Campground — Brookville Lake

    SRA in Southeast Indiana

    62 full hookup sites in the C Loop. 388 electric sites.

     We stayed at site 58 which is a large sunny site by the bathroom/shower house. This would be a great site for a family- lots of room for kids to run around.

     Bathroom/showers were disgusting! Just filthy, even for a state park. We only saw them "cleaned" once on Friday afternoon.

     There's a boat launch just for campers. Actually several boat launches on the East side of the lake. 

    This is a big park for fishing & boating. My fisherguy did catch fish. There's a beach. Several hiking trails. The Glidewell Trail goes past an Indian Mound. 

    The camp store is really nice! 

    There's no nature center, but they have interpretive programs that meet at trailheads or the camp store.

     This campground had a lot of empty sites, so it may be less popular than Whitewater Memorial State Park. Aside from the bathrooms, we had a good time there.

    Equestrian Camp — Caesar Creek State Park

    Dry camping alternative

    Couldn’t get in to the Craser Lake campground because it was full came here as an alternative. Wooded sights are nice, large enough for trailer. No potable water. Pit toilets but they constructed a new modern outhouse but as of my visit not open. It’s an Equestrian friendly so lots of people with horses.

    Big Bone Lick State Historic Site Campground

    Great for a family trip

    We had such a good time we extended our trip. Only 3 mile of trails, but fabulous for the family and well kept. Creek is great to play in. So much wildlife. The campground and facilities were in great shape. The only minor issue was the camp store and museum only open Thursday -Sunday, but we were visiting early in the season. Paved campground is great for bikes, scooters and roller skates! Spigots are far from some.of the sites and you may need more than a 50 ft hose for water hook up.

    The Landing at Bear Creek RV Park

    Worst management! I’m afraid to even still be here!

    The lady at Bear Creek started out in June 2025 a quiet place with friendly management and their friendly family entire family that all live at one end of the park so no one else can have their spaces a family that causes nothing but gossip and drama that is the reason why I stopped going to throw in dinners and events. The campground itself is a mess management let potholes go all winter long to the point that it was so bad people were complaining. I myself complained, and they acted like they were doing us a favor by getting some gravel and trying to half ass fill the holes the porta potties were out of commission all summer last summer and so far are still out of commission. The splash pad is a joke. The pavilion is just a place with some picnic tables and they have allowed DJ or live band on Friday or Saturday nights where they can all get drunk and act. Accordingly we asked for the owners number to voice our complaints to the people that own the landing at Bear Creek, but management refuses to give the owners information and we had to go other routes to get that information since then they have been harassing us taunting us. They called the police and tried to kick us out without our campers without my therapy cats without our pets without our belongings without our homes we sold our four bedroom house and bought two big campers and this is where we live full-time we will be leaving in April 2026. It is now March 2026 the middle of March and the harassment hasn’t stopped. They have told people things about us that are not true. They’ve been returning our mail just a laundry list of things that are not only illegal, but scary that two people could be that unhinged that they would act this way toward anybody, especially people like myself who have never had a complaint. I never really leave my camper because I have a small business that I run never caused any problems never caused a disturbance and I’ve been here since June 2025 once they found out that we were moving and that we wanted to talk to the owners to follow voice our complaints. It’s been nothing but police and harassment and it’s to the point where I’m afraid to even stay here. I’m afraid they’re going to harm my cats or myself. I’ve never seen two people more unhinged and crazy and spiteful and vengeful as I have the managers that are currently managing the landing at Bear Creek. I’ve never had this much interaction with police officers over managers of a property harassing so badly, knowing that I have mental health issues and using those mental health issues as a threat against me, I do not recommend people come. They stay for maybe a month or two and leave because they realize how awful this place is the gossip the drama there’s been drugs. There’s been a guy that had a knife and was trying to stab all his neighbors, and they found cocaine in his camper. There have been numerous incidents. Someone passed away out here in a strange fashion. This place is a wasteland. It is a routing negative energy and management is childish petty and the most spiteful, crazy, insane unhinged people I have ever seen in my entire life, the way that they have been behaving with their children in their truck driving up to my camper, harassing me outside of my camper, returning my mail just all this craziness. I can’t believe it. I can’t even put together in words to leave this post right now I’m so sorry this is the worst place I’ve ever seen and neither of the worst type of people I’ve ever met in my entire life. Please do not stay here for your own safety. If you’re trying to reach the owners to file a complaint about management the first picture shows you how to do so because management will not give you the owners information.
