We loved the weekend in the private group site. Perfect for a group of people camping together. We were able to close the gate and let the kids ride their scooters without worrying about cars coming through. Sites and bathroom were very clean.

Really nice campground! Very clean bath house, nice wooded sites, well-maintained. Our site was right across from the bath house, and while convenient, we probably wouldn't choose this particular one again due to the bright lights at night and the noise of people coming and going (not that bad, really, we just like it nice and quiet). The 6-mile trail around the lake was a nice walk and easier than expected (parts of the trail aren't very well-worn, so some of it requires attention to trail markers, but it's pretty flat and mostly easy-going). Hemlock Cliffs, a few miles north, was a beautiful hike! No paper trail maps were available and cell service (T-Mobile) was spotty at best. I considered docking a star because there really should be easier access to maps (I had trouble finding any online before getting there, and wrongly assumed I could get a map once there) but that's maybe more of a Hoosier National Forest issue than a campground issue specifically. Overall, would return to camp here!
