The campground was heavily wooded with a level spot. The hosts were continuously cleaning the bathhouse and small restrooms. We loved the Rickenbaugh House interpretive trail. The other trails looked inviting but we had to give up the Two Lakes Trail after 50 ft because of tons of ticks, both deer ticks and Rocky Mountain. These trails would be good after the vegetation dies. We ended up walking to both lakes on the road to avoid ticks which was very scenic.
We went to the Pour Haus in Tell City for a great lunch and toured St. Meinrad Archabbey which was beautiful and free!

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.
