The insider read

Book it right
PickRV doesn't handle campground bookings — reserve direct through the official channel so policies and cancellations flow through one record.

Every fact above is sourced from the managing agency's canonical page. Cross-check fee, season, and size limit before you depend on them.
Match the campground's size limit and hookup level to a vehicle category, then plan the rest of the trip.

StateInsider tip · Pioneer Village (working 1817 mill) + 3 cave systems. Twin Caves boat tour — book onsite first thing in the morning. Astronaut Gus Grissom memorial on grounds.
Near Anderson
StateInsider tip · Ancient Adena/Hopewell earthworks — Indiana's only mound complex of this size. Great Mound is 9 ft tall + 360 ft circumference; respect signage. Quiet alternative to busier southern Indiana parks.
Near Albion
StateInsider tip · 9 connected glacier lakes — paddle 5 of them on one trip. Sand Lake is the swim beach. Quiet alternative to busier southern parks for fall colour weekends.

Your next step
Newton-Stewart (Patoka Lake · USACE) takes rigs up to 50 ft, so what you arrive in decides whether the loop works at all. If you don't own one, the same trip runs on a motorhome rented in Indiana.
Nothing in Indiana is bookable today. Dated requests are what we take to owners, so give us the window you actually want — you get one email the day a rig covers it, and nothing else.
