Description: Located in the beautiful rolling hills of southern Indiana not far from I-64 (exit 79). This is a small loop separate from a couple other loops near a small lake that allows boats with electric motors only (nice for kayaks). Paved roads with sloped, hard packed sites having W/E (50A). We stayed on site 7 and T&D on site 9. Boat launch and nice swim area kept the weekend kids busy some during the day. Dump station across the road near the Branchville Correctional Facility (use this address for directions). Verizon is a little weak and used our mobile dish for tv.
Trash and Recycle: Trash dumpster at front of the loop with a small recycle can only for aluminum cans.
Activities: It was very hot here on the day we arrived. The camp host next to T&D was very informative and told us about nearby Hemlock Cliffs which was a beautiful hike in the woods to a cool canyon with sandstone rock formations. We all enjoyed this rugged hike of more than a mile amongst the rock outcroppings, overhangs, cliffs, rock shelters and ravines along the shady stream. The weekend entertainment was brought to us by the bicycling kids with inattentive parents of about five interrelated families camping in several rigs in the loop.
