Plan a camping trip near vibrant Auburn for horseback riding and relaxing by the water.
Choose a campground in Auburn, Indiana, for automotive history and access to nearby water fun—it’s a great base camp for family adventures at Chain O’Lakes State Park. The state park’s nine lakes offer boating, fishing, and swimming, while in-park campgrounds provide 50-amp electric and water hookups for RVs. The tent sites are close to boat launches, nature centers, and 23 miles of DeKalb County hiking trails. Just 30 minutes from Auburn, Pokagon State Park is another ideal stop for horseback riding, camping, summer swimming, and winter tobogganing. Lakeside campgrounds here provide numerous amenities including electric hookups, camp stores, bathrooms, and showers. Otherwise, enjoy picnics on prairies in Potato Creek State Park, where hiking trails wind through wetlands and woodlands, or spend a lazy day fishing in Worster Lake, where more waterside campgrounds and cabin rentals await. Look out for spots with access to the water as well as bathrooms, picnic areas, and facilities for horses.
