Maybe Hoosier's best horsecamp. Great layout with several full gravel pull through sites. A good mix of sun and shade sites. Scenic trails free for hiking but a fee for horse or biking. Ebikes not allowed (2025) on the trails but the surrounding gravel roads are premium riding. Free camping. 14-day limit. Clean vault toilets. No water. No electric. Fire rings. There is a trash can.

Great primitive camping experience! Only one other camper on Saturday night. Great hiking trail loops in the range 2 to 10 miles.

We came in on a Tuesday to primitive camp and were the only ones there. The campsites were clean, flat and mostly shaded. The vault toilet bathrooms were very clean. There were many horse/hiking trails that were very well marked. Horse trailers started rolling in on Thursday, but everyone was real friendly. We will definitely stay again, but during the week to avoid the crowd.

Well kept quiet Campground. Self Serve no fee. There was a lot of standing water although we've had a ton of rain lately. My only complaint is that spots are limited when conditions are wet
