Campsites are fairly close together. Quiet hours were not enforced so trying to put kiddos to bed while loud music was playing at nearby sites was tough. The site we stayed at was covered in hay because the grass was muddy. The shower houses were mid renovation, the hot water would not turn down and was so scalding I couldn't bathe my kids. Will not be coming back.

Very nice beach and beach house. However, for someone like me with arthritic knees, there is one larger concrete step down to the sand. A water break I presume. But I needed help to step down to the sand. I couldn’t find a break in the concrete. But the water was perfect!

Always enjoy camping here each year around fall time. The campground is great and the fishing is awesome. Only issue is the restrooms and showers are separate.

There is an entrance fee per car, $7 for Indiana residents, $9 for everyone else. $70 for year pass for nonresident. As of the date of writing this: 7/19/20. We did not go into the campground. Didn't find out fees or look into that area at all. Attendant on duty. Sandy beach area was nicely maintained. Had a refreshment stand and restrooms. Lots of picnic tables, several outdoor grills, many restrooms, scattered at various parking areas. Fishing dock. Several trails, but not wheelchair accessible so can't comment on those as to difficulty or quality. Seemed odd that the sandy beach is opposite side of lake from campground. Did not see handicap accessible way to get from parking area to beach. Lots of birds, squirrels, chipmunks. Several native flower areas. Lots of naive tree species, including fully grown Buckeye, Sugar Maple, Honey Locust. Overall, a nice place to spend the day.

Nope no fees to park or hike. Update. They are correct there is a fee. I was thinking about when people park at the boat docks for Brookville lake or some of the other free parking around the lake and then hike to Mounds State Park.
