I spent the first weekend of October here, what a fun weekend! If you want to stay here, you must make reservations six months in advanced or you will not get in. The park is extremely popular with the locals! The park was sold out, and I found out why on Saturday night. The shut down vehicle traffic and everyone went trick-or-treating. They hold a contest for the best decorated site, and the campers do go out of their way to make it a FUN weekend. Our site sorta had water, it was on the wrong side, and sharing the site next to us. If I needed water, I would have dragged out all the hoses to get to it, but I left the house with a 1/4 tank of fresh water. There are very few pull through sites and the standard site is very very tight for a 40 foot Motorhome and toad. I've never been here this late in the season, and plan to return next year at the same time. Camping fees do not include a $5.00 fee to enter the park. The horse stables are gone, bike trails replaced the horse trails. Next weekend, the village will be active. No TV, No Wi-Fi, talk about technology withdraw. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very Nice State Park. We enjoyed the Old Mill and Pioneer Village. We camped in site #48, it was nice lots of shade and quite. We will camp here again.. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed at campsite #64. It was completely shaded and the pad was fairly level and was mixed gravel and dirt. They have a very large pool that is about 1/2 mile from campground. The best part of the park is the pioneer village and mill. It is beautifully kept with a large mill in the center surrounded by several smaller buildings. Each building has a volunteer dressed in period appropriate clothing. They are great about answering questions and make it more fun for the kids. We had a great experience and have already booked another trip there! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
A beautiful state park. We stayed in site #37 in the Section 1 Electric. It was a challenge getting our 32 foot fifth-wheel into the site. It is very quiet in Section 1. There is quite a bit of privacy and trees. However, choose your site carefully. Some sites would have been impossible for us to get in to. The Olympic-sized swimming pool is great ($2 per person). We also enjoyed the boat ride through Twin Caves ($3 per adult, $1 per child). We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Stayed in Section 2 electric. Beautiful campground. Relatively quiet even though we stayed a holiday weekend. All sites have water and electric, unusual for an Indiana State Park. All sites are large and many form nice community areas if you have a group camping together. If you look at the map and draw a line from the entrance road straight back through the campground the site to the right of that line will be better. Sites to the left are lower elevation and would tend to get muddier on a wet weekend. Also, sites on the far left are entirely shaded, nice in the summer but muddy in the spring.

Nice place - we've been about 5 times. The larger electric section can be a bit crowded and noisy, so we opt for the small loop (Section #1). Site #9 is our favorite for a pop-up. Very large, secluded site that extends back into the woods. For a tent, I believe site #7 looks like the best. The state park is excellent, with a great little pioneer village, a cave, a small museum dedicated to Gus Grissom, and a pool. With any Indiana state park, check-in is a very slow process. On Friday nights, there can be a very long line checking in because of how time-consumer it is. Overall, a great place. For some reason, every time we've been, it has rained on us, but hopefully our luck will change this coming Labor Day. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
We really enjoyed Spring Mill -- the park and the campground. The campground was relatively quiet, the facilities clean, and the campsites very satisfactory. Sites 1-29 and 49-62 are in a wooded area, with a creek running behind sites 24-29 and 1-6. The playground marked on the map between 3 and 62 DOES NOT EXIST. It was removed in 2005, to our disapointment, but the other playground is still there. The other electric sites are in a more grassy area with sparse trees. As another reviewer noted, cell phones work in very few places in the park. Other than that, the park is very enjoyable, with caves, mountain bike trails, a historic village (with guides/tours), historic cemetary, and lots of trails. We're definately going back often.

I was at site 10. Electric and water can be difficult to reach. Large park and campsites can be difficult to find. Overall a very pretty place but sites can be unlevel. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The camp ground is very nice. The employees were all very friendly & helpful. The swimming pool is very nice too. Although we didn't use them, the bath houses & showers were very clean. The historic village area is very interesting place to visit too. The only downfall was no one's cell phones worked in the campground. We camped with a group of people who all had different cellular service. Some cell phones would work if you stood in a certain part of the campground, while others did not work at all. This is a cellular problem & not the campgrounds fault though. Just something nice to know in case of an emergency. Plan to visit again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
