I was surprised that the rates went up and no upgrades done.
My hat is off to the folks that work there, they have done an amazing job with all the work they do and I think there’s only two staff members there now.

Indian Celina is a hidden Indiana gem. Campsites are large and spaced well apart from others. The forest is beautiful and the lake is stunning for kayaking. On site staff are friendly, hard-working, and keep facilities well maintained. Indian Celina has become our favorite camping site.

Great campsites! Easy to pull in on my motorcycle, pitch a tent and have a grill out. Peaceful, and cooler in the summer due to all the tall trees.
