RV rental Spring Mill State Park, IN: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Start your Spring Mill State Park camping experience at the nature center. This is the perfect place for the pint-sized campers in your crew to learn about the park's ecosystem and see live animal exhibits of snakes and turtles that live in the park. Next up on your Spring Mill State Park itinerary should be the Pioneer Village. Highlights of this beautifully restored 19th-century village include a smithy, distillery, and working gristmill. These are just three of the 20 structures visitors can explore to learn more about the lives of area pioneers, including George Sheeks and Sally "Granny White" Cummins. Check the park's events schedule when planning your excursion to the Pioneer Village. You might just catch a Civil War reenactment or one of the village's annual holiday celebrations. One of the main draws to the park is the Twin Caves. Unfortunately, cave tours are only available for groups, but visitors can still see the caves from a unique perspective on a boat tour. Along the way, you'll see some of the park's most precious wildlife, from the humble cave bat to the endangered Northern blind cave fish. If you'd rather explore on foot, just under nine miles of hiking paths wind their way throughout the park. Both novice and seasoned hikers will find a path to suit their abilities here. Trails 3 and 4 are rated strenuous, leading past the park's caves, Spring Mill Lake, and the Hamer Cemetery. A quarter-mile accessible path leads to the park's memorial to famous astronaut Gus Grissom. Two miles of mountain bike trails are also open to those who prefer a faster pace. Last but not least, visitors camping at Spring Mill State Park in the summer can take a dip in the park's swimming pool. The fun doesn't stop in winter, when the park's games room becomes the Nature Nook, complete with arts and crafts and a schedule full of fun events.
