Richmond KOA

RV rentals in Wayne County are the perfect solution to your RV camping needs and the quickest way to get your vacation up and running. Summit Lake State Park, approximately 30 miles northwest of Richmond KOA, is a nature preserve and public recreation area centered around its namesake lake, with prairie sections, low-lying wet meadows, and Zeigler Woods, an undisturbed tree stand in the southwest corner of the park. The park is an excellent venue for bird watching, with waterfowl and migratory bird species such as bald eagles, sandhill cranes, and osprey, just to name a few. You can also swim, picnic, and hike here in the summer; in the winter, you will have the opportunity to enjoy ice fishing and cross-country skiing before returning to your rental RV for warm drinks and a comfortable chair.

Whitewater Memorial State Park is located 22 miles from Richmond KOA at the north end of Brookville Lake and was created in 1949 when the Brookville Reservoir was built. If you decide to visit here in your motorhome rental, you can swim in the lake, hike the trails that follow the lake shoreline, and boat or fish on the lake. Camping and picnicking are allowed, and there are cabins that can be rented. Canoes and rowboats can be rented on-site, giving you the opportunity to enjoy the view from the lake and get some fishing in if you prefer; the park is an ideal spot for ice fishing in the winter.

Slightly farther south from Whitewater, Mounds State Recreation Area is one of two SRAs located on Brookville Lake (the other being Quakertown State Recreation Area). The area is an archaeological gold mine with prehistoric Native American mounds scattered throughout the Whitewater River Valley and fossils that date back to a primeval inland sea. Other amenities you will find and enjoy are beaches with access to swimming, campsites, boating and sport fishing, and dozens of miles of hiking trails. The park includes a shooting range and an archery facility.

When you're ready to come indoors, there are a number of interesting towns to choose from, but nearby Liberty is a small friendly community with some historically significant buildings. One of these is the Union County Courthouse, which is included on the National Register. If you visit here, take some time to enjoy a walking tour of the town, taking in the scenery and the architecture on display. Liberty also has a small but diverse culinary scene, with British and Mexican restaurants, a pizzeria, and much more. One of the cafes has outdoor seating and a menu with steak, seafood, and pasta entrees, salads and sandwiches, and a kids' section.

Indiana is well known for its cuisine, and if you make it to the city of Winchester, be sure to stop in at one of the local bakeries that specializes in pies; you may even want to grab one or two to enjoy later in your camper rental after you make it back to Richmond KOA. You can take in a round of golf while you're here, or hit the shops and boutique stores; one of them deals in coins and precious metals.

History, architecture, and vast memorable outdoor spaces; Indiana has it all. Camping at Richmond KOA is only the beginning of your action-packed excursion here.
