This is a very clean campground with lot sizes to accommodate anything from a tent to a class A with full hookups. On site activities include a large new playground, hiking and walking trails including a beautiful historic truss bridge, and a canoe / kayak launch. Connected Koteewi park has everything from archery to horseback riding to a zip line and ropes course for additional fees.

What an amazing campground. I stayed in June. Spot A6. It backs up to the river with your own little access. The trails are beautiful and the bridge is gorgeous. Awesome Wi-fi. Bathrooms with showers are nice. Very peaceful. Would definitely visit again.

White River Campground was a pleasant surprise. The surroundings are very nice with mature trees, the White River adjacent to the property and a pond. There was an excellent walking/biking trail just over the river bridge. The park is actually located in Cicero, IN. Fishers, IN is close by as are several other suburbs of Indianapolis making shopping very easy. The RV spaces were concrete pads. We were parked right on the river so our view was very nice. We had full hookups which worked well. The staff was accommodating and pleasant. The weather was terrible while we were there - raining every day for nearly a week. Consequently, there was a lot of mud and the river was very high. It did not cause any problems with the RV but the mud was a bit of an issue coming and going. The sites were not as long was we expected. It just barely fit our 39’ fifth wheel. Our tow vehicle had to be sort of wedged in partly on the grass. It was tight. Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay.

Almost hate to share a review out of selfishness…a beautiful hidden gem close (ish) to home for us! We are semi-seasoned campers and just discovering County Parks. This stay last fall was an absolute TREAT!! Our site was full hook up and the concrete pad made setup a breeze. The river and view of the bridge was all too picturesque. We biked, we kayaked, we relaxed! We will return for sure!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

Hi, I have a couple of questions. 1. Does the tent camping areas have a 120v power outlet? 2. Do they have areas that allow primitive camping and allows generators to run over night? Thank you .

Michael Sneed | Apr 13, 2020
Erin Maksymczak | Apr 14, 2020

They do have electric and water at most of the camp sites. There is a tiny amount of truly primitive campsites...like under 10 sites. Quiet hours would not allow for generator.

What are the checkin hours on friday?

Candy Owensby | Apr 14, 2019

I believe that a couple of weeks is the max time allowed. It is a county park not privately owned.

Can you puchase firewood there?

Mark Easley | Apr 13, 2021
Jeremy Plummer | Apr 14, 2021

Yes. The rate is $5 per 12 sticks. The firewood is kept in a large shed which keeps it very dry and allows you to choose which 12 you'd like. I usually choose a good combination of larger pieces that will last a while, and ragged/rough pieces that will start a little more easily. The pieces are not particularly large. I'd guess around 18" long from trees that had a 5"-6" radius, and they are cut into 1/6 or 1/8 wedges. You could keep a small fire going for the night with one 12 stick load, but if the fire is your sole entertainment for the evening, I'd suggest a second load to keep things going. There is a credit card fee for small transactions, so try to remember to buy your wood during check in, or bring cash. At one time there was a wheel barrow to help you carry the wood, but it seems to be gone now. So if your camp site isn't up on the north end of the campground, near the office, I'd suggest brining your vehicle to transport the firewood.

Jeremy is right. We do not have a pool or allow wading or swimming in the White River. However, you are able to launch your boat, canoe or kayak for a launch fee. You can pay the fee in the campground office.

How much is camping

william whitlow | Apr 13, 2021
Jeremy Plummer | Apr 14, 2021

There is a more detailed list on their website, but full hookup is $30/night for visitors, but only $25/night for residents of Hamilton county. If you only need electric and water (no sewer) both rates are $5 less per night. What's even better is the weekly rate. Full hookup is only $150 per week! But don't get to excited about calling this place home. Camp rules say you can only stay for 14 days before you must vacate for a minimum of 2 days.

Sabrena Martin | Apr 14, 2020

There is. I forget the lot #, but it is in the back by the RV parking and not by other tents. It is along the creek and the riad encircles this site. I took 7 teenage girls here and They didnt bother anyone and no one bothered us!

Are there any kind of bike trails? Paved or dirt?

Chas Godsey | Apr 14, 2019
gymcoachdon | Apr 15, 2019

There is a park across the bridge that has trails, not sure if they allow bikes. However, the road just outside the park is great for cycling, from Anderson to Cicero and beyond. It was my training road when preparing for a triathlon. Not best for kids though..

Can you park and camp out of your vehicle...for instance an SUV?

Chas Godsey | Apr 14, 2019
gymcoachdon | Apr 15, 2019

Yes, they have tent camping sites that are used for that frequently.

Can you eat the fish that you catch in that part of the river?

carolyn crose | Apr 14, 2019

Yes, I catch and release... I know people who do eat what they catch.
