Indian Celina Lake

All was good

We stayed in a Class B RV at South Slope site 7, which was nearly level. Great campground: it was incredibly quiet while we were there, and lots of understory provides good privacy between the well-separated sites. We almost never heard any road noise at all from SR 37 or I-64, and even when we did, it was barely discernible. (Not the case when we walked over to check out the North Face campground, where the road noise was more pronounced. Also, RVers take note: many, if not most, of the North Face sites would involve impossible leveling scenarios, so you'd want to do some reconnaissance before choosing one.) The newish bathhouse was spotless and in excellent condition. Unfortunately, the showers were all unavailable throughout our nearly week-long visit (there was no explanation, but they appeared to be undergoing a repainting project). The dump station is not on-site, but it's easy to find a couple of miles south on SR 37. Continue past the Circle S/Citgo convenience store (will be on your right) to the Branchville Correctional Facility entrance (will be on your left, directly across the road from the Tipsaw Recreation Area entrance). After you turn left toward the correctional facility, the dump station will be on your left. Note that there are no trash cans or dumpsters at the dump station, so be sure to make use of a campground dumpster before you leave.

Lovely well maintained campground with a very welcoming staff. Lots of local attractions including St. Meinrad's Archabbey and the benedictine Monastery in Ferdinand. Both are impressive beautiful locations.

We were at site 23 and the only downside was that it had some slope and was a difficult back-in for a somewhat novice driver (90 degree approach with a narrow service road and deep ditches on both sides.) Most other sites were a bit more back in friendly.

Other wrinkle was that the main shower room was closed for remodeling during our stay. These things happen but it would have been helpful to know in advance since we chose our site based on its proximity to the shower house.

We were the only ones besides the host in the whole campground. Nice private spot near the bath house. Good water pressure in the showers. Definitely a nice spot.

Site 31 was tight and uphill. Just stayed one night. Dump station was down on main highway 2 mi and up in the woods on left side before prison.

My husband and I are full-time travelers and have been to all 50 states. This is the only place that made us pay for our motorcycle when we took it out of the toy hauler. Every other place whether it be government or private has told us that they do not care about the motorcycle and have never charged us for it. The older woman at the gate who worked the morning shift was not very friendly. She was totally completely by the book and it gave us a bad taste for this campground. We were there most of the time by ourselves and it was very quiet. For a 12 days day stay we ended up paying more than we have ever paid at any State park. Pretty sure we will not go back.
