Great State Park! Plenty of space between spots in the electric camp grounds. Many we'll marked trails to hike. Very clean!

Fun place with several trails. The nature center was a enjoyable self guided trail. Not as much open river frontage as I was expecting. Electric only Campground.

This was our first time camping here. I was very impressed with this place. The showers and bathrooms were very clean. The noise was minimal except for the wildlife! We woke up at 6:00 a.m. with the birds! Quiet time at night was totally observed. The staff was very helpful to get you to where you needed to go in the park and directions into town for whatever we needed. I would come here again.

Camped mid-May, pretty nice but crowded on weekends like most Indiana State Parks. Nice hiking along river and climbing the fire tower, beaver dam in backwater, nice wild flowers in spring. Fortunately very little mosquito activity.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Todd Pierzchalski | Feb 19, 2022

Yes, they have trick or treating at the campground. It is one of the best events I've ever attended. They probably have over 100 plus campsites giving out candy. Several of the people take up a couple sites and they actually make miniature walkthrough haunted houses. It's unbelievable

The Tippecanoe River passes through the Park. You can start and finish outside the park boundaries or use the public launch within the park. I cannot however say if there are any potential log jams especially from recent wind storms. Contacting the park service may be a good idea. Have fun!
