    We came here on Memorial Day long weekend and totally enjoyed our stay. We stayed for three days…read more We were a group of 12 adults and six children. It was a very family driven place and there was a lot for everyone. The water area is so good when it's sunny and there's the play area for the kids the shelters for barbecue and picnics and a lot of trails which are pet friendly. The rain dampened our visit but the park in itself was extremely good. DNR facilities were 24/7 they kept a strong vigilance in the camp, which was very comforting. Other than that all service is like fire wood ice was available at short notice.

    I've mostly been stuck at home the past few weeks as I've been recovering from major surgery. On…read moreoccasion, I've been able to get friends to take me places or at least go for a drive to get me out. One such drive was to Whitewater State Park. Whitewater State Park was the 16th state park in Indiana and was founded in 1949. It's actually the third largest. It has 200 acre Whitewater Lake along with shoreline hiking, flat-water boating, swimming, fishing, and camping opportunities. It has 9 miles of horseback riding trails. The park area was originally purchased by Union, Fayette, Franklin, and Wayne counties to serve as a memorial for those lost during World War II. Additional activities include picnic areas with shelters (reservations required), interpretive naturalist services, 1 boat launch ramp at Whitewater Lake, bridle trails, cabins, fishing/ice fishing, hiking trails, canoe/paddleboat/rowboat rentals, swimming, and two marinas. Camping includes 236 electric sites, 45 non-electric, and 37 horsemen's primitive sites. There's a camp store, dumping station, and youth tent area. There are five hiking trails - all are considered moderate in difficulty. They range from 1-2.7 miles in length, though at least one also has a short loop. There really isn't a single trail that I'd say is accessible, though there are parts of trails I was able to access. That said, Whitewater in general isn't particularly wheelchair friendly other than in the more truly "public" areas. As an experienced wheelchair user, I doubt I'd head out on these trails alone. Whitewater hosts a variety of events throughout the year. While I wish it was more accessible here, I still consider this one of Indiana's more underappreciated natural gems.

    Amazing campground with super nice family that runs it they have more play equipment ( my 5 year…read moreold described is as epic sauce which I think means good)and things for kids to do than any other campground we have been to and offer a church service on Sunday morning which is super convenient for me when on vacation I can't say enough nice things about it we have stayed twice and will definently be back

    This place has so much to offer especially for the kids! Nice level sites, many of them are really,…read morereally roomy. There is a great pond to walk around that offers catch-and-release fishing, great playgrounds, a nice swimming pool, and lots of room for the kids to play. The bathroom and shower are nice and clean! When I made my reservations, I had to do some revising and they were so accommodating. While I asked for a pull-thru, I did take a back-in spot and they had someone spot for me. I would have liked a 50amp and sewer hookup, but again, I needed to make changes. They offer both RV and tent sites. The tent sites are in their own section, a nice green grassy area! If you decide to stay here, I found that a 30amp will run one of my A/Cs just fine and because of all the shady, I really only needed the one A/C. I did need to have my tanks dumped while I was there. They offer a dump service so I didn't need to move my RV nor even be there. It was a nominal fee compared to the savings from a full hook-up site!

    Absolutely beautiful, campsites are adequate sized. Note: if you are an RV camper like me, you will…read moreneed to fill up your white water tank. Plenty of spigots around to fill from. Maybe other sites have it by mine only had electric.

    First time camping here, pulled in yesterday (check in / out is 5:00pm on holiday). $7.00 gate fee,…read moreattendant was friendly and helpful. Checking in was organized and flawless. Checking in on the holiday typically gets you a quieter park and season our hunch pays off. The park is mostly empty today. In the 4 hours of useable daylight my first impression is really good. DNR presence on site is nice and the park is clean, a lot cleaner than many that I have seen the day after a holiday. Full hook up sites are A1-A5 and C1-C56. Loop B,E,D,F & G are electric only. There are 14 handicap accessible sites in the lettered section of the campgrounds, The playgrounds look to be in good condition (we didn't use them). The shower houses are large and in good repair. Pets are allowed and I'm pleased to say that overall the absence of pet feces is amazing. For those staying in electric only or primitive sites at the dump station there is a tank fill. Water pressure in the C section is about 70psi when we tested it so one shouldn't forget there regulator. As for the dump station there really isn't much innovation, it's a dump station and if you can't smell it from your site it's a great station. Camp store and bait shop, boat launch just down the drive along with (2) more dump stations totaling (3) for the campgrounds. (5) total shower houses and numerous toilets. Over 1/2 the sites are mostly sun but generously spaced.
