Rating: 1 4 5 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: For $75 a night one would think it would be more than just a paved parking lot which you back up to the utilities. There is a grassy spot behind the sites with 1 fire pit and 2 pergolas. The check in process is time consuming as you have to check in at hotel and wait till some one unlocks the utilities. They do offer trolley service, so you don't have to walk the long distance to the hotel. There was a $100 deposits that was refunded at check out. There is a small creek running next to lot that has an odd smell. - Okie girl
No improvement since our last stay here 2 years ago, but they increased the camping rate significantly. For a whopping $75 you get a bare parking lot space. There are FHU, but the water spigots leak all over the electric box. Hotel staff fumbles with RV reservations, and the check-in process is clumsy and time consuming. After you hike to the hotel to check in, you've got to wait for staff to unlock all the utilities on your site. French Lick and West Baden are wonderful resorts, but the RV Park lacks amenities and is overpriced. Shame. - Flying Mantis
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for French Lick Springs Hotel »French Lick and West Baden are wonderful historic hotels with beautiful grounds. However the RV Park is not in sync with the rest of the property. For $60 a night I expected a lot more. The camping area is a back row of an outer parking lot with no landscaping and no privacy. Twelve lines are painted on the pavement which were supposed to designate the dozen RV sites advertised. But if 12 rigs parked here you wouldn't be able to put your slides out, the sites are that close. So French Lick gives you two sites when you register, which means there's really only 6 RV spots with hook-ups. Services are located in the rear, too far for our sewer hose to reach. Behind the service poles are a couple of bench swings under small pergolas with a community fire pit between, which was the only nice touch in the whole camping area. A historic train runs alongside the RV park and blows its whistle at the nearby crossing. Shuttle busses will stop at the RV Park for transport to both hotels and the casino. Walking from the RV Park to the casino is not far, but there's no dedicated sidewalks and the shortest route takes you around a rear loading dock which was a bit unsettling at night. We've been to French Lick many times and always stayed at the wonderful hotels. This was our first time in the RV Park, and I was surprised at the scant amenities and lack of thought put into the camping area. For the hefty fee that's charged, there's much room for improvement. - Flying Mantis

Rating: 9 1 1 7 2 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: I've been a yearly renter for 3 years, I have read some of the other reviews and would agree with most of it but not all. The previous owner was ready to retire and grumpy! The Park is under new ownership and management, the start of this season has been nothing but positive from the new owners, I would highly recommend that you try the park again this year as I think your experience will be a lot more enjoyable. - RER
If you want to pay the highest rate for a terrible time than here's the place. The lady owner takes your money, never to be seen again. Warns to drive only 5 mph due to their deaf dog, never to be seen. Signs say Smile you're on Camera posted everywhere...no cameras seen. No garbage pickup, have to take it to the overflowing dumpster yourself. You're supposed to shut off the air if you leave campground. So you can return to a overly heated camper and melted foods. The sewer hole is so shallow the sewage splashes out, if you have your sewer hose fully opened. Better be sure to hold it down with something! No Verizon service, no wifi, unless on the office step. Male owner made us move our truck, so it stuck out in the traffic path. He was a jerk about the internet and phones. Felt like a prison camp. Did not see games advertised on website. The rules are so long and ridiculous. Had to leave a day early and no refund, the woman owner never even contacted us like her husband told us. So they got a day of our money without us there. I told her when I called I wasn't certain about the extra days after the first 2. They are not honest, caring people. Do not stay here! It was stressful and unfriendly. There are state parks that are much better; we were told by townspeople. - CamperQuilter
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Painter Creek RV Park »Camping here was a pretty awful experience, and we would recommend highly, please don't stop here, unless you are prepared to experience an invisible fence around your camper. God forbid you deviate several grass blades off your lot, even though there are hardly any other campers in the campground. The management was brash and downright mean, not friendly at all. Wi fi is available but you must be on their porch at the office. Management makes nasty statements asking why would you want to use wi fi when you are camping? After a heavy rain, we laid our wet items on an adjacent empty gravel lot to dry , and when we returned, it was all bundled up and thrown into a pile on the grass in front of our camper. Our picnic table was present when we first arrived but then was removed from our lot by management. There are no trees for shade in the park. It was not a happy or enjoyable experience at all!! BEWARE!!! - Thornton

Rating: 8 7 7 8 6 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Nice park. Water in bathhouse was cold. Love the trails there. - singletracklife
Only a couple campsites available when we arrived. Our site was on a big hill - extremely steep. Had a hard time getting a camper tent level - never would have gotten an RV in there. Ended up putting our tent cross ways to get it level. Sites were wooden but close together. Very busy campground on a weekend. Women's bathhouse had great showers - men's needed shower head taken off to get good pressure. Food was scarce - only a few restaurants nearby. Good ways into town. - Happy Campers from IN

Electricity but no water at the site. Cell phone service wasn't very good and very few TV channels. Caves are closed during the week while we were there but otherwise there are lots of things to see at this park. We enjoyed the village. - J and C

Rating: 8 5 9 8 6 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We stayed here two nights and wish we could have stayed longer. Because we our stay was early in the season and on weeknights, there were no other campers in our loop of the campground. However, the morning we left a couple with a travel trailer arrived early and wanted our site - 117 other available sites in that loop but they were quite adamant about having our spot so they waited until we pulled out. Based on the number of campsites available throughout the park - weekends and summers must be busier. The sites in the campground are at all different angles and are of varying lengths and few are entirely level - ours had a slight downhill tilt. The bathhouses were extremely clean as was the campground in general. The park itself was fabulous - lots of hiking opportunities and great birding. There appear to be lots of park amenities & recreational activities - though we were there too early for any. We would like to return again to so some kayaking and other water activities. Not overly far from I-64. - liz&denis
The majority of the campsites are in an open field with no shade. We arrived on a 94 degree day and it took several hours to cool the camper since our site was in the direct sun. Our original site was occupied requiring us to find another site. Majority sites are not very level. The sites on the outer edge of the campground do offer some shade. I would not stay here again. - Poe Dog

Rating: 9 10 9 10 10 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We stayed here for the first time this past weekend. It is now one of our favorites. We will definitely be staying here quite often during camping season. The campground is amazingly clean, well maintained and nicely manicured. The free firewood and daily courtesy trash pick-up is a plus. We were able to call/text on our phones (Sprint), but we could not get internet service on them. This wasn't a problem for us, because our purpose of camping is to disconnect from the busy world. The only reason I did not give this a 10 rating is because I wish the sites were spaced out a little more, and because it does not have a pool. The Blue River was low enough to wade in, but a pool would be the "icing on the cake" for this campground. - Penny C
What a beautiful park! Spacious rv sites. Clean and well maintained, clean restrooms, friendly service, free firewood, and plenty of play grounds for the kid. Great place to spend a week. We will definitely be back. - Doc B
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Sycamore Springs Park »This park is owned by a family foundation and the facilities are for the benefit and free to the community. They have some RV sites that are available for rent. It's a great setting and facility. Most everything is pretty new. Interior roads are dirt and sites are gravel. No alcohol and the gate is locked at 8:30 PM until 8:00 AM. No Wi Fi and limited cell service. I loved the quiet! - DRKM

Rating: 6 9 8 9 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Park looks very nice. There is a 24 hour lit public walking trail around the pond in the park as well as Disc golf course and outdoor exercise equipment. Lots of ducks, geese and flying bugs. Small petting zoo on premises as well as paddle boats for rent. Rentals not offered when we visited. Did not use the restroom or shower facilities. Wood for sale was 4x4 blocks, which I've never seen firewood sold like that, but I'm sure it keeps the fires smaller. Electric and Water only. Dump on-site. As with most State parks, beware the park entrance fee - $6, non-resident. - Unknown_Normal
We stayed here in October 2015. It is a lovely park with roughly 75 campsites. Most have water and electric; about 14 are primitive and are in a separate section. The sites are of varying lengths; the web site will tell you the size of each site. Eleven sites are over 60 feet, some of them are pull through. We had 50 amp service at our site; I can not say for all sites. It is about 25 minutes or less north of Corydon, Indiana, and near the Indiana Caves and French Lick. The lake has boats for rent, a paved walking, and plenty of squirrels, ducks, and geese to watch while relaxing. The sites were paved, but a little pitched. Bring a couple of leveling boards and you will be fine. We payed $25 for Sunday and $15 for the week days. We enjoyed this campground very much. - jwc47031
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Buffalo Trace Park »Very nice park with lots of shade in the campground. There is a nice fishing lake with a beach for swimmers. There is a nice walking/biking path around the lake which we enjoyed. Our site was a little unlevel (#53), but we rode around the campground and found a few others we would pick when we return. - Donna Jo

Rating: 8 10 8 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Rustic, pit toilets, but decently clean and maintained. Most spots are large, but some are very small and have steep angles. - dbng
One of the prettiest parks I have ever been in. Excellent experience in my 27 foot Class A. Very friendly host guided me into my level, long site, albeit surrounded by poison ivy. Then he brought me some tomatoes from his (nearby home) garden. A nice treat. Interior roadways are nicely paved but narrow, but navigable. Electric only. Limited air antenna reception, but I sure didn't care, it was so beautiful. Lake and boat launch. RV dump site up the road 3 miles at another facility, but that didn't bother me. Site very clean, fire pit empty, leaves blown, no cigarette butts!! I would come back here again!!! - NJ_Snowbird
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Hoosier / Indian-Celina Lakes Recreation Area »There are a few sites that will accommodate big rigs/multiple slides, but access roads are narrow. Paved and gravel sites, more suited to small/medium rigs, pop-ups, truck campers, and tents. Some sites are more suited for small rigs, as front to back leveling could be a challenge for longer trailers and MHs. Level tent pads at each site. Spotless bathrooms and showers are well maintained and well stocked. - quicksilver812

Rating: 4 5 7 9 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Our first impression was walking into the office. It was shabby and looked like it had not been vacuumed in some time. The girl helping us was very sweet but seemed to have a difficult time getting us set up. We did have reservations. Getting to our site was tight with narrow roads. The whole campground was uncared for. It seemed like there was no pride taken by the owners or by the many permanent residents. Pretty much all the spaces were taken with permanent residences with old run down RVs with blueboard insulation and other makeshift insulation making the place look bad. Again, no pride seemed to be taken in appearance. Our site was a pull-through that seemed to be for overnight and short stays. Muddy and small piles of dirt, long grass and weeds everywhere. We would pass this campground by if we were in the area again unless it was an emergency. It is a shame as the campground has great potential with a little work and pride from the owners. - MaryVT
I stayed at Free Spirit for a week. The rate reflects PA rate. This campground is not big rig friendly. There are trees very close to park roadways in several places. Negotiating the roads both coming in and leaving was difficult. In addition, the sites are no where near level. You should plan to bring plenty of levelers. If I were to return to this area I would try one of the nearby state parks. - 15243
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Free Spirit Family Camping »No WiFi, many seasonal campers. Pull Thru available, but small roads to drive and a lot of trees. Some level sites.
