Lake Waveland Park Campground

Book an RV in Montgomery County, and you're one step closer to a trip that is unique in almost every way. Start your vacation by visiting Shades State Park, where sandstone cliffs tower above shady ravines and Sugarloaf Creek runs through them. Numerous hiking trails are waiting for you; a few are easy, but most of the trails range from moderately difficult to rugged. You should make sure that you are dressed appropriately and wearing proper shoes designed for outdoor hiking. The park has a nature preserve where you can observe the vegetation and wildlife, and practice photography. Don't forget to include your rental RV in the foreground of some of your photos.

Turkey Run State Park is a semi-cultivated recreation area near Crawfordsville which has a public swimming pool alongside stands of old-growth trees and sandstone ravines. The park is a natural destination for hikers who wish to challenge themselves; the condition of trails can vary with the weather and may require you to take alternate routes if the path you've chosen has become impassable from rain or other conditions. If you have young kids with you or are seeking activities less challenging, the park has a playground and tennis court, picnic areas, and a nature center and planetarium. There are accommodations if you wish to stay overnight and an on-site restaurant where you can get drinks or a meal.

Raccoon Lake State Recreation Area is both a public outdoor recreation facility and a historically significant area. The park has an original flour mill that was built in the 1880s; the mill has working machinery that demonstrates to visitors how flour was ground at the time. The park also has a lake that was the result of dam construction intended to control flooding. You can rent fishing boats and pontoons on-site to spend time out on the water, and there are numerous other amenities such as basketball and volleyball courts, horseshoe pitches, and an archery range, just to name a few. Picnicking is a popular activity in the park, and there are piers you can fish from when the water level is high enough. Like other parks in the area, it is an ideal destination for hiking and nature observation. Keep your motorhome rental nearby, and you can take your catch of fish straight from the water to the fridge.
