Favorite places to camp

[Jagunn]

Looking for places to go camping this coming year? Suggestions?

I like Hoosier National a lot. Park along a gravel road and walk in anywhere. Tents have to be out of sight of the "adventure trail" or in a designated area IIRC.

Depends on the type of camping you want to do. Are you interested in primitive, tent camping, trailer camping, full hookup?

I have a 28 ft travel trailer. Doesnt have to be full hook up but have power.

O'Bannon Woods State Park near Corydon. It is a very under used state park and is very beautiful.

We like Patoka lake. Lots of good sites and not too crowded except on holidays. Nice paved bike trails too.

In Indiana we love state parks. Ouabache State Park just south of Fort Wayne is beautiful. Potato Creek State Park, Brown County State Park, Springmill State Park are also very nice.

For short trips Grandhaven Michigan is fantastic. Sits just north of Holland. The campground sits directly on the beaches of Lake Michigan, amazing.

I'll second the west coast of Michigan for RV camping.

Obannon woods is nice, I grew up in Corydon and that was a favorite place for us. Stage Stop was great but its closed. We camp at Newton Stewart at Patoka Lake a lot. Patoka is my favorite place to camp.
Deam Lake is nice too as is Clifty Falls in Madison. Indiana has a lot of nice places to camp.

PLace is packed now. Still a good place to go but reservations required. Try and get back in the keyhole. It is removed from the main body of campers a bit.

Drive here.Hoosier National Forest - Hickory Ridge Fire Tower

Pass it around a mile and a half.There is a pull off on the left that will fit up to three cars.You can camp close to the road without any trouble,or you can hike in a bit(we usually hiked in a good ways).If you drive over the bridge/creek you went to far.
On a side note last time we where there the tower was still open to climb and get a great view.It has been 4-5 years though since our last trip,but I camped in that spot a good 25 years(since boyscouts at 12).If you want to hike lots of trails take off from or cross the fire tower(with maps located at the tower).

The firetower is still open for climbing. Addicted2tone, why is Stage Stop closed?

I was wondering the same. Used to be one of my go-to spots down there.
