Brown County State Park is Indiana's biggest and, in my opinion, most beautiful park. There are lots of amenities that can suit any age of visitor. There are several vistas that overlook the rolling hills of southern Indiana that would rival any even the great Smoky Mountains. However, camping at Brown County has its challenges. Most sites are located along the main thoroughfare of the campground and offer little privacy. Traffic can be a distraction if you are looking for a peaceful night around the campfire.
Nonetheless, Brown County's large trail system, both hiking and mountain biking, can take adventurers over ridgelines, through ravines, and can connect all of the vistas overlooks. Overall, this Indiana gem was one of my most memorable experiences today, and 30 years ago when my wife and I were just dating.

We stayed at site #99 which is fairly easy to find and somewhat secluded from the main camper section of the campground. The site and neighboring sites are non-electric which makes you have to be creative if you need an air mattress. The site is partial sun midafternoon. The campground can get busy and loud but for the most part everyone was was respectful of others.

Chain is perfect for kayaking and canoeing with 9 connected lakes and 11 total. A couple lakes are perfect for boat fishing as long as you have an electric motor only. Overall, in my opinion, this is one of the more underrated state parks in Indiana. Worth the trip up north away from the more popular parks in the southern part of the state.

I stayed at site 58 from Thursday through Sunday. As expected, the park was not busy at all, probably 30% full. Friday afternoon into the evening it began to fill up to capacity. Most sites are separated by trees or bushes making them fairly private. There are very few showers so timing will be important. Water is very accessible having faucets all throughout the campground. There is also access to the trail system at different areas in the campground.
