Camping in Indiana

78 places to stay, each with its nearest town and where our information comes from.

Brown County in October is the reason to camp in Indiana. The hills around Nashville turn red and gold, the little town fills with galleries and fudge shops, and the campgrounds outside it book up for every fall weekend. Get in early or come midweek.

Near Spencer, McCormick's Creek was Indiana's first state park, with a canyon and a waterfall a short walk from camp. Shades State Park near Alamo has backpack and canoe camps above Sugar Creek, and Hardin Ridge in the Hoosier National Forest sits on Lake Monroe. Most of the rest of the listings are private campgrounds and RV parks.

Check locally

A listing is a lead, not a promise. These are places we know about, not places we have confirmed you can sleep tonight. Rules, closures, seasons and fees change, and forest roads and passes close for snow. Check signs and local rules before you commit to a night somewhere, and tell us when something is wrong.
