Love this campground,if your looking to camp for free in the Hoosier national Forrest this is the place. Everyone is welcome,there are plenty of spots to set up camp. Has clean pit toilets, and it's always quiet. Not to mention it's minutes from lake Monroe,and it's the trail head for Grubbs hays trail,which will take you to Patton cave

Great campground! I camped here during the winter. There were very few people. The road to get there was a little rough. It was covered with snow. There is access to the trails in Deam wilderness. The pit toilets were typical of State park. A great place to spend the weekend!

Lots of trails to hike and backpack. . Even camp. Not sure about the fees if there are any. It looks pretty primitive but there are clean toilets. The trails that i was on (Grubb and Cope Hollow Loop) have definitely had some work invested. Thank you👍😊 But even still i went quite a ways without signage.

It looks pretty primitive but there are clean toilets. The trails that i was on (Grubb and Cope Hollow Loop) have definitely had some work invested. Thank you👍😊 But even still i went quite a ways without signage. All Trails GPS quit working down by one of the creeks and lost the trail for about 30 minutes! It's amazing how quickly you can feel lost! Just had to use common sense and a good sense of direction to get me back on the trail. Thank God for a clear day. It was my first ever 10 mile backpacking (20 lbs) hike❤️👣. I only managed to pick up 3 "hitchhikers" on the way. Flushed them down the toilet when i got home😉🤪😂

Very nice free camping geared for camping and trail riding with horses. There were very few campers the week night we stayed and no horses. Great location for us to stop while traveling between south central Ohio and St. Luis Missouri. Clean and well kept. Grassy area to set up camp. Plenty of room for trailers. Spacious and stocked pit toilets. Nice trails through the trees to stretch your legs i... Very nice free camping geared for camping and trail riding with horses.

Grassy area to set up camp. Plenty of room for trailers. Spacious and stocked pit toilets. Nice trails through the trees to stretch your legs if just passing through, and it would be an excellent area to stay a few days to explore the trail systems and check out the nearby lake... maybe next time.
