The best camping in Indiana with campfires

Name: Indiana
Address: Indiana
Rating: 4.8605

Stretching down from the Great Lakes into the southern heartlands, Indiana borrows the best of both regions for a warm hug of southern hospitality bolstered by the outdoorsy spirit of the Midwest. Outdoor adventurers can climb the sand dunes along Lake Michigan, paddle the Ohio River, or trek through forested canyons, while a bonafide Indiana camping experience means fishing for your supper and toasting s’mores on the campfire. With temperatures that rarely fall below zero even in mid-winter, camping is a year-round affair in Indiana. Our pick is fall, when breezy weather and fiery autumnal colors make for incredible hiking.

Come explore our land and relax in the "Tree Web", see the 2 story tree house that I live in, have fun on the tire swing, or just sit and enjoy all that nature has to offer.

For 10 days each July, Peru celebrates the Circus City Festival with rides, crafts, food, games, and more. The highlight, however, is the live amateur circus that has performances throughout the festival. A unique and authentic experience that echoes the early heyday of the circus, this is a fun event not to be missed. Performers are locals, some of whom are direct descendants of professional performers in the earlier shows. Even if a visit is timed to occur outside of July, a visit to the small but impressive International Circus Hall of Fame might be worth the trip.

Large secluded cove near our barn and garden. Watch the sun come up from the orchard. There is 1 electrical plug so not all 3 spaces have electric but you can run a cord. There is also a single water spigot to share as well. There are 2 houses somewhat visible through the trees but no direct line of sight and otherwise private. We have 2 dogs, Whiskey and Barb, Whiskey will usually keep her space but bark, if you ignore her she will be friendly, acts mean but never bites. Barbara is a Jack Russell. She will jump in the truck if you don't tell her not to and will happily run off with snacks. We ask you please don't feed them as it will teach them to come for food and some people don't appreciate the dogs..  This is a farm so you may see and smell animals. Depending on when you book you may even be somewhat near animals. Be aware of this and be ready to keep dogs contained. We typically run pigs in the woods around the cove but we move them regularly and keep the smell to a minimum by doing so.

The absolute best host we have ever met. They welcomed us after we arrived and then gave us a little tour of the campground. The bathrooms were super clean and nice. We came up for the covered bridge festival and they were giving us some great places to check out. There are a lot of family things to do they have set up in the common area. There are games and seating so everyone can hang out along with plenty of ways to do some cooking. I give them a 10 out of 10 for sure. Lucky to have found this place. It's a hidden gem for sure. Thank you again for your great hospitality.

Weekend Trip to Riverwood Camp And Paddle

We absolutely loved our stay here! The campsite was incredibly clean and well-maintained. It was such a nice touch that they even had a working sink and flushing toilets in the porta potty. There's a great little walking trail right along the river, which made for relaxing morning and evening strolls. The firepit at our site was fantastic, and it was super convenient to be able to buy firewood right on-site (we brought our own this time). The location is ideal, peaceful and tucked away, yet close enough to Cicero and Noblesville to explore the area easily. A huge thank you to Kevin, who was amazingly nice, responsive, and accommodating throughout our visit. This place is a true hidden gem, and we will definitely be back. Highly recommended!

Weekend Trip to Sugar Maple Grove Campground

This was a private campground with spacious sites. The outhouse was clean and smelled good. Enjoyed walking the paths although the wooded area was flooded from rains the week before. They have ducks and chickens that were fun to watch. Lots of pollinators among the asters and golden rod. I had a great, peaceful and relaxing time.

Indiana camping guide

Where to go

North Indiana

Indiana’s most Instagram-worthy landscapes can be found at the state’s northeastern boundary. Sloping dunes and sandy beaches line the southern shore of Lake Michigan, and Indiana Dunes National Park has tent and RV camping right by the beach. Further east, industrial towns pepper the road to Amish Country, where you can check into a rustic log cabin in the woods or camp by the lake in Chain O’Lakes State Park.

Central Indiana

Indiana’s central plains are dotted with laidback market towns, cornfields, and lakes. Indianapolis pulls in crowds for its summer motorsports events, most notably the famous Indy 500, but campers can easily escape the city for nearby Mccormick’s Creek State Park or Morgan-Monroe State Forest. Just to the south, Brown County is home to Monroe Lake, the state’s largest lake, hemmed in by Yellowwood State Forest and Brown County State Park.

Southern Indiana

Hilly southern Indiana is blanketed with woodlands, most notably the forested trails and canyons of Hoosier National Forest. Come in fall to hike against a backdrop of foliage or canoe along Sugar Creek, one of the state’s top paddling destinations. Further south, the Ohio River Scenic Byway draws adventurers to hike, paddle, camp, and fish.
