The pretty pictures on the web site for the perm. residents, so don't be fooled. Not for overnight campers. 95% of the "residents" live there, including several mobile homes (i'm not joking). 20 unshaded overnight spots right in front. Water is not consumable (can be used for gray water I guess). "Beach" is a muddy overflow pond. Bathrooms are port-a-potties, except for the shower house in the "seasonal" section a mile-half away. We love camping and we really tried to make it work, but for the first time in 10 years, we left early. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Good place to camp, but too many seasonal campers that aren't all that friendly to overnighters. Needs some upgrades, like adding bigger fire rings, restrooms, showerhouses, and adding a pool. Also we thought it was a pain to use a card to gain entry into the gate, our card never wanted to work, then we had visitors, and they had to pay a fee just to be there for 1/2 hour and felt hassled by the owner to be a guest. Otherwise, this is a nice place to camp for a few days. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is such a nice place to camp. The people are super friendly and the campground is great. Lots of great hiking in the woods behind the campground. Fishing is kind of hard because of the geese-they think that the lakes belong to them only! Full hookup-pull through sites are in a field but they have planted trees around them. Some back in full hook ups in the wooded area, but they are a little tight. One of my favorite places to camp in Indy. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Would rate higher if access road wasn't gravel. There is about 1 mile of 2 lane and 1/2 mile
of 1 lane gravel road to get into the campground. (Don't know what you would do if you met another rig on that 1 lane road). They have 2 small lakes there
with fishing and boat rentals available. Nice campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed in "B" loop. Many camp sites here become bogs when it rains, which it did on both Friday and Saturday nights. The campground is in a heavily wooded area, so there are no sites in "B" loop with grass, and only a few in "A" loop. Lack of grass makes for a muddy mess on a wet trip. Though as a former employee I'll always have a fond spot in my heart for this park, picking a campsite is a crap shoot unless you are familiar with the site you are reserving. Our site wasn't a bog, but then again, I know which sites to avoid. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very nice, quiet, beautiful. Reasonable amount of space between sites. No traffic noise--the campground is in the back of the state park, far from SR 46. The park itself, like most Indiana state parks, has numerous hiking trails, one or two of which can be hiked from the campground. We intend to come back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very nice and well kept State Park. We were only here on an overnight, but we are planning a return for a longer stay. Nice trail system within the park, trees over roadways are big rig friendly. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great park. The restrooms and showers were very clean. Only problem was the mens shower had a public changing area with private showers. There were no hooks in the showers to hang items from. The park itself is beautiful with lots of great hiking from easy to rugged. The sites had stone to park your trailer on. We would definitely return and recommend to others. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Great spot for hiking enthusiasts. Several trailheads originate right at campground. Inn
with restaurant in park.Friendly staff. Ice and firewood truck makes rounds. Roomy dual dump station (with another dual under construction across street). Very well kept deeply wooded campground. A tad pricey for only electric service-but it's a statewide set price. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is such a nice place to camp! Campsites were very large, shady, very clean. (I did
notice that there were some RV sites (electric) that were a bit small though). This is a pretty State Park, and well-kept. We can't wait to go back again! We camped here in a Tent.
