Batesville KOA

If your plans are to head for southeast Indiana, consider camping with an RV; if this sounds like a plan, then also take a close look at Batesville KOA, a premium RV campground that is waiting just for you. Batesville KOA is centered right between a hardwood forest, a lake, and a golf course, making it one of the quietest and most serene settings you can imagine. At the same time, it is only a short distance from Indianapolis and Cincinnati, Ohio. Choose to stay here, and you are walking distance from the lake and a nice swim; or, if you prefer, you can opt to go fishing or boating on the lake. There are two boat ramps, and the lake is well stocked with fish.

The park offers a variety of social activities where you can meet your fellow RV campers; hayrides, themed weekends, and candy hunts are just some of what's going on. You'll also have access to beach volleyball courts, miniature golf, picnic shelters, and numerous other amenities. Most of the individual sites have full hookups while a few have just water and electrical hookups; you can choose between 30 amp and 50 amp electricity and you'll have access to Wi-Fi so you can check in back home and let everyone know you've arrived safely. Have a dog with you? The camp's pet area is a perfect place to run off pent-up energy.

Going just a little way outside of the RV park, families will be thrilled visiting the Kings Island amusement park with roller coasters (one of which is wooden), a huge water park, and an area for younger kids. An outdoor museum park has dinosaurs and biblical exhibits, and building-sized murals that provide a backdrop for the exhibits. You can rent canoes and kayaks and take a guided tour of the Whitewater River, or keep it simple and tube or raft your way downstream. A local ranch can offer you the opportunity to take a guided horseback ride for an hour, an afternoon, or even overnight.
