We always enjoy Indian Celina. It's a nice clean and quiet place. The sites are spaced well with lots of shade.

We had a great time at this hidden gem of a camping spot. Bathrooms were clean, nice toilet paper, helpful staff, beautiful camping spot with privacy while still walking distance to bathrooms/ showers and trails. The two paved loops for camping are great for bikes/ scooters. The lakes are perfect for some quiet kayaking and big hiking loops to explore.
