Dive down into 100 caves, visit a waterpark, and bike through forests on a Bedford camping trip.
Camping near Bedford is easy to find and perfect for a trip setting out into Indiana’s pristine wilderness. Look out for privately owned meadow campsites for tents and RVs, or choose a cabin rental with multiple beds, a kitchen, and a full bathroom. Then, zip 45 minutes south to Hoosier National Forest to explore more than 160 caves, hike through rocky karst formations, and mountain bike on the Birdseye Trail. Rustic cabins are available in the forest and feature incredible lake views, electricity, and a vault toilet, while on-site RV and tent camping offers electrical hookups, modern restrooms, and showers. Discover more camping spots an hour north in the “Little Smokies,” known officially as Brown County State Park. The state park campgrounds have amenities like electrical hookups, picnic tables, fire rings, and horse tie-ups for equestrians. Cabins with AC, queen-size beds, and kitchenettes can also be rented. Wherever you spend the night, the days are for splashing in the park’s waterpark or climbing the 90-foot fire tower for panoramic views.
