Indian Point RV Park

29 RV Sites

Indian Point RV Park in Eddyville, Kentucky, offers 29 RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 40 feet. A full-hookup pull-through category joins water-and-electric back-in tiers at both amperages, with a boat ramp, boat docks, outdoor pool, clubhouse, and game room. Twenty-nine sites span back-in 30/50-amp water-and-electric only, full hookup pull-through, water-and-electric back-in 30-amp, and water-and-electric back-in 50-amp categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted, sized to 40 feet. Read the category carefully — only the pull-through tier carries sewer at the site, and the back-in categories are water and electric. Note the 40-foot cap before booking a larger rig. Cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, boat storage, and a recreation center handle the practical side. A boat ramp and boat docks open the water for boating and fishing, with an outdoor pool, clubhouse, game room, sports courts, pavilion, playground, dog park, and a river on the property filling the rest. Pets are welcome. Eddyville sits between Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley in the Land Between the Lakes region — 170,000 acres of protected recreation area between two of the largest man-made lakes in the eastern United States, with elk and bison ranges, a planetarium, and some of the best crappie and bass fishing in the country. Summer lake season drives the heaviest demand, with the spring and fall fishing runs strong. Reserve well ahead for warm-weather weekends.

Holiday Hills Resort in Eddyville, KY, offers 7 RV sites and 13 apartment, cabin, house, and treehouse rentals, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 60 feet. Sites come in two categories, standard back-in and lakeview back-in, each carrying water and electric with a fire pit and picnic table. There's no sewer at the site, so plan on the on-site dump station. The lakeview sites are the ones to request. A general store, firewood, propane fills, and golf cart rentals cover the essentials. For after-hours check-in, go to the A-frame building, turn right of it, and call the resort for instructions. Pets are welcome. The lodging roster is the most varied in western Kentucky — treehouses alongside RV sites is not a common combination. A boat ramp, boat docks, an outdoor pool, a disc golf course, sport courts, basketball, volleyball, corn hole, a pavilion, and a playground fill the grounds, with boating, fishing, swimming, hiking, and biking on Lake Barkley. Eddyville sits in Lyon County on Lake Barkley, next to Land Between the Lakes. Rates for sites and every rental type are on the booking page. Lakeview sites and the treehouses book earliest.

An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a creek and pond supporting fishing, and walking trails, hiking, a playground, pavilion, and picnicking filling the grounds. Pets are welcome.

Listing the exact amp combination in every category removes any doubt about what you are plugging into, and 90 feet accommodates anything on the road with room to spare. Seven tent sites round out the lodging. A pavilion handles the practical side. The river carries the recreation, with boating, fishing, hiking, and biking all from the property. The amenity set is deliberately spare, which keeps rates low and suits a park built around the water rather than on-site programming. Pets are welcome. St. Clair County sits in the rolling agricultural country between East St. Louis and the old river towns of the American Bottom. The Kaskaskia is Illinois's second-longest river and runs navigable here, with a lock and dam system and good catfish and bass water.

Big Creek RV Park/ Arcadia Meadow Campground LLC

In the St. Francois Mountains of Iron County, Missouri—some of the most ancient and geologically remarkable terrain in the American Midwest—Big Creek RV Park and Arcadia Meadow Campground occupies a wooded setting on Highway 49 in Annapolis that puts guests within easy reach of a concentration of Missouri state parks that is unmatched anywhere in the state. The campground's 63 sites, family activity programming, and property features including a swimming pool, petting zoo, mining sluice, and on-site coffee shop make it the kind of family-friendly operation that creates returning guests, while the outdoor recreation potential surrounding the property makes it a base camp with genuine depth for the outdoors-focused traveler. Memaw's Coffee & Italian Soda Shoppe alone is worth a detour from I-55. All 63 RV sites are big-rig friendly with 30 and 50-amp full hookup service, and 21 of those sites are pull-through configurations for stress-free arrival and departure with large rigs. Free basic WiFi, cable TV, and private shower suites reflect a facility that takes the comfort dimension seriously alongside the outdoor programming. A swimming pool serves as the warm-weather gathering point, and the campground store carries propane, ice, wood, and camping essentials. The on-site coffee shop—Memaw's Coffee & Italian Soda Shoppe—provides a morning ritual that guests consistently identify as one of the small pleasures that makes the campground feel like more than a parking lot with hookups. Sunday morning worship services, organized for guests who want them, reflect the ownership's community-oriented values without imposing on guests who prefer a quieter Sunday morning. The campground's programming calendar is notably active. Kids' crafts, scavenger hunts, rubber duck races in the creek, hayrides, ice cream socials, and seasonal events through Fall Fest—held every weekend in October with pumpkin carving and costume contests—create a social calendar that gives repeat visitors specific event-weekends to anchor return trips. A petting zoo, catch-and-release fishing pond, mining sluice for gold and gem panning, volleyball, horseshoes, and a playground provide recreation across age ranges, and the property's creek access adds a natural dimension that the organized programming complements rather than replaces. The St. Francois Mountains surrounding Annapolis form some of the oldest exposed rock in North America—ancient granite and rhyolite worn to rounded knobs over billions of years—and the state parks they anchor are among Missouri's most celebrated. Johnson's Shut-Ins State Park, where the Black River forces its way through granite gorges in a natural water park that is one of Missouri's most spectacular attractions, is within close reach. Elephant Rocks State Park, where massive granite boulders the size of elephants are accessible on a short paved trail, is a geological marvel that delights all ages. Taum Sauk Mountain State Park—the highest point in Missouri and site of the Tom Sauk reservoir—and Fort Davidson State Historic Site add historical and geographical dimensions to the park touring itinerary. The Black River provides floating, tubing, and fishing access throughout the season. Big Creek RV Park and Arcadia Meadow Campground operates year-round with peak demand through summer and the October Fall Fest season. Johnson's Shut-Ins is a summer bucket-list destination that draws significant traffic from across the Midwest, and proximity to it creates strong campground demand from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Reserve early for summer weekends and October event weekends, and let the St. Francois Mountains show what ancient geology looks like when a river decides to go through it instead of around it.

Sleeping Bear Retreat

1 RV Site, 4 Tent Sites

Sleeping Bear Retreat near French Lick, Indiana, offers 1 water-and-electric 20-amp RV site and four tent sites across more than 60 acres of mature woodland, with rigs accepted to 20 feet. A disc golf course, pond, walking trails, and community fire pit serve a quiet retreat in the southern Indiana hill country. The RV site is water-and-electric on 20-amp, sized to 20 feet, with a fire pit and picnic table. The retreat is direct about this: they offer small camper sites only, for rigs up to 20 feet, and no large RV sites. Plan accordingly — this suits vans, teardrops, and small trailers, and nothing bigger. The sites carry water and electric rather than sewer, with a dump station on site. Four tent sites round out the lodging. A dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. A disc golf course, pond, walking trails, sports courts, volleyball, community fire pit, and firewood fill the grounds, with fishing, hiking, biking, and productive birding. Planned activities run through the season, and a golf course is nearby. Pets are welcome. Sixty acres of mature woodland for a handful of sites is the entire proposition — genuine quiet and space rather than a numbered pad. Orange County holds an unusual combination. French Lick and West Baden Springs are historic mineral spring resorts with grand hotels — the West Baden atrium was once called the eighth wonder of the world — alongside the Hoosier National Forest's hiking, Patoka Lake, and one of the darkest night skies in Indiana. Spring and fall are most comfortable. Reserve ahead, and check your rig against the 20-foot limit.
