Patoka Lake Campground

Patoka Lake has become our go-to campground for many reasons. The nature center is a delightful feature, offering a serene escape into the beauty of the surrounding area. The spacious campsites add to the allure, providing ample room for relaxation and enjoyment. It's worth noting that there are no water hookups, so remember to fill your tank before arriving at your site. During our visit over fall break, the Halloween festivities and trick-or-treating added an extra layer of fun to our experience. We also had the pleasure of exploring the local winery and brewery, which were a big hit with our group. The abundance of activities at this state park ensures there's never a dull moment. However, it's important to exercise caution due to the high volume of boats in and out of the campground. Parents with small children should be especially vigilant, as vehicles towing trailers with boats are constantly coming and going. Despite this, our love for Patoka Lake remains unwavering. It's truly a special place that we look forward to returning to time and time again.

Nice Park, but not cheap for nonresidents. 30 something plus tax AND a $9.00 entrance for nonresidents. Electric only at sites. Many of the sites were not the most level and in the open. Well spaced & few with a water view.

ATT & Verizon both worked well.

Roads and grounds are in good shape. Tons of sites and all different types (secluded, group, field, lake access, lake view, etc.) Sites were clean and in working order with 30A service. Facilities were in working order but didn’t appear to be cleaned daily. Seemed to have a high ratio of campsites to showers so things get crowded with all the lake people wanting to shower frequently. There is a beach of sorts with rocky sand but good enough for a dip. Showers at the beach are … ok. Gang showers (men and women) so more for just rinsing off. Camp store was WELL stocked with an assortment of items from milk and bread to cake mix.

Cell service was poor. (T-Mobile 0-1 bar LTE , AT&T 1-2 bars LTE, but NO internet service when things get busy Thursday to Sunday afternoon …weird)

4 dump stations at exit but still lines due to shear number of sites but things moved quickly.

Never made it it nature center.
