Camping by Brookville Lake?

[miguel]

Anyone familiar with camping in this area?

Looks like it is possible to camp at Mounds SRA or maybe Whitewater Memorial SP. Considering a weekend extended-family getaway with tents or maybe a fifth wheel.

Anyone have any experience at these locations?

Whitewater was nice when I used to camp there. That was 5 years ago. There is also a state range near whitewater.

Damn, that would be a big plus.

Thanks!

Range is just west of the lake, on the north end. Iirc, it's free if you are camping also.

It's a nice place to camp, fish, boat, shoot, horseback ride, etc. They also rent cabins fairly cheap through the state park at Whitewater Memorial. We live about 40 minutes south of Brookville Lake and I highly recommend it.

Had some friends stay at the Mounds last year. Went to visit for a night... Pretty nice place for tents and RV's.

We rented one of the cabins at Mounds SRA last autumn. We enjoyed it very much.

eta: correction... Our cabin was at Whitewater.

Depending on which kind of camper you are would greatly influence my decision as to where to stay. If you are the laid back just chill kind of camper, Whitewater Memorial is the place for you. It is probably my favorite state park. Clean and fairly quiet, they enforce the rules pretty strictly, ie., noise after a certain time, kids on scooters, general rowdiness. Now if you are one that like to turn on your radio and have a few adult beverages later into the night, then Mounds is probably where you want to go. Its also really nice, but all of the SRA's that are on a lake tend to be a little noisier and less strict on the rules.

The range is right on the NE side of the lake, last time I was there it was in a state of disrepair but that was also when the state slashed the state park budget and they were making personnel cuts.

I have a permanent camp at Brookville. I am there most weekends.
PM if you have questions about the area.
