Charlestown Campground

189 sites · RV, Tent

Time to get your hiking on.

The campground at Charleston State Park is smack dab in the middle of all the park action, especially when it comes to easy access to the park’s seven hiking trails. Trail #5 even leads straight out of the campground, with a scenic stop at Fourteenmile Creek. Camping with kiddos? Try to snag one of the sites in the first campground loop—there’s playground right in the middle!

Massive campground with plenty of full service and primitive sites. Some of the full hookup sites are tucked back into the trees. We were able to get a 34ft travel trailer into a secluded spot that most would assume was for tents. Lots to see and plenty of great trails. Indiana got this one right!

Easy drive to down town Louisville. There was construction going on at the bridge, 9-1-2016 and highway which was causing much crowding, plan extra time if construction is in process.

This is a nice campground with excellent hiking trails. One of the newer state parks, est 1990s. It's on the Ohio River. We had site 143. That site & the sites to the left are nice little areas tucked into the woods with lots of brush for privacy. Some of the sites are full hookup, which is a rarity in Indiana State Parks. Reserve early for those. As always, watch for pit toilets & dumpsters. The trails are wonderful. There are 7 of them. Trail 7 to Rose Island is easy. Trail 1,3,4 & are rugged. Boating is also popular, with a boat ramp on the Ohio.
