The best cave camping near Henryville

·

In Henryville, cave camping draws serious adventurers and casual explorers alike, with over 1,300 options to choose from. You’ll find campsites tucked near limestone outcrops, hidden sinkholes, and cool, shaded caverns—ideal terrain for anyone chasing underground wonders. Prices start at just $7 a night, averaging around $77, so there’s room for both budget trips and splurges. Campfire rings, pet-friendly spots, and on-site toilets are standard at most sites. Horseback riding trails cut through forested ridges and wildlife-watching is as easy as stepping outside your tent. Local favorites like Happy Hollow Homestead (663 reviews), Little Blue Horse Camp (37 reviews), and Lost River Hostel (19 reviews) are known for welcoming hosts and easy access to cave systems. Bring a headlamp, sturdy boots, and a sense of curiosity—Henryville’s underground is worth the trek.

- Voted best Hipcamp in Indiana for 7 years. - Listed on Rachael Ray Magazine's "8 of America's Coolest Campgrounds" We offer a "Camping Cabin", The "Cozy Camping Cottage" or tent camping in Black Walnut Grove, in an open field, in the woods, or a shady grove. We like to interact with people or you can keep to yourself and have a quiet getaway in the woods. Sorry, but the tree house isn't available to rent since it is my home. I may rent it out in the future. Also in progress is the "Dome" We are on a solar powered, off the grid 30 acre homestead that has 24 acres of wooded land and 6 acres of groomed land. 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. You can explore our interesting topography that has close to 100 foot of elevation changes, our (mostly) dry creek system that starts with 2 springs that drain into 3 sinkholes or walk 3 miles of trails (if you follow each trail from end to end). We love groups - Host your event here or have a group gathering with all your friends and family. We have spaces large enough to host hundreds of people. We welcome pets for camping, but no pets allow in the Camping Cabin. Also be aware that we have 2 friendly dogs on the land that roam freely. - 3.5 miles to Marengo Cave - 7 miles to the Blue River (canoes, rafting and swimming) - 30 minutes to Patoka Lake - 37 miles west of Louisville - 13 miles north of Interstate 64
