Its a Little early in Southern Indiana to camp, so Donna and I took off today to explore some camp sites near our home, One is real close, about 15 miles, Buffalo Trace park in Harrison co Indiana (about 15 miles north of Corydon Indiana and about 25 miles west of Louisville ky) I cant believe how much it has changed, for a County owned park its an eye stopper, nice litte 12 to 15 acre lake, they rent paddle boats, aluminum fishing boats, shaded electric camping sites within 25 feet of the lake, nice clean showers, nice playground for kids, paved walking trails, Corydon Indiana is Indiana's first state capitol and you could spend a weekend exploring caves, restraunts, antique shops etc, then we drove to Delaney Creek Park another county park, about 15 miles north east of Salem Indiana, its got a nice lake but not layed out well, I did not see many pod sites, there was a hill covered with permanet camp sites, sheds, golf carts etc, We drove the gps crazy today, it was kind of fun to just explore where we are going to. I still think Hoosier National forest just off of I64 about 45 miles west of Louisville ky cant be beat, its huge, the camp sites are private and shaded, and 4 lakes and walking trails and 3500 acres of mushroom hunting this spring. anyone like fresh fried morel mushrooms ? ------------- Dane and Donna Smith 2011 RP-172 2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer 4X4 lift kit prodigy wireless brake controller |

Last summer Dar and I camped in a campground that is not much further away, and had a great weekend. I like going to Colorado, but camping locally is fun too!

Keith, in case you did not know, you are 2 posts away from being a senior member, that means you will have to start dying your hair, I wish I had some hair on top to dye.  ------------- Dane and Donna Smith 2011 RP-172 2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer 4X4 lift kit prodigy wireless brake controller |

I just saw your post from feb, sorry I missed it, Hoosier Nat F is great, there is the north and south face, some have more electric sites than others, then there is tipsaw, it has a sand beach, swim area and play areas for kids, Donna and I have used north and south face both, they recently put in new showers/bath rooms, one thing I like is the showers are kinda really big, so both of us can go in at the same time, lock the door, shower up, change clothes, dry hair etc. the camp sights are far enough apart that sometimes you dont see anyone else, 60 to 80 ft pines, shady, cool, really nice walking trails, 15 minutes to Patoka lake, 30 minutes to French Lick (Iam not a big gambler but it has been restored and is beautiful) near Jasper Ind and german cusiene, and a winery near by wienzinwald or something like that, good wine. I think Hoosier Nat Forest is the best kept secret, also at age 62 I got the senior pass thingy for about 20 bucks you can get in the federal sites for 1/2 price. happy poddin ------------- Dane and Donna Smith 2011 RP-172 2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer 4X4 lift kit prodigy wireless brake controller |
