GuideGood size campground in the Hoosier National Forest
We love driving through scenic trails so we go to the Hoosier National Forest pretty frequently. The great thing about the campsites around the area are that they’re free. We stayed at the Horse camp. It’s a pretty good sized location. There were about 3 horse trailers there when we stayed. We were a group of 6 vehicles and we fit just fine in the back of the campground and there was so much space of more people if needed. They also have restrooms there too. It was nice and quiet except for the Coyotes, but hey, that’s okay.
