The best camping near Indian Springs State Park

Indian Springs State Park takes its name from the natural springs that flow here. For centuries, the Creek people collected the spring water for its healing qualities, and by the 19th century, the area had developed into a bustling resort town. Today, visitors can still sample the water inside the stone Spring House built by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Great Depression. Other activities include hiking and biking the trails and swimming, boating, or fishing in McIntosh Lake. A small museum, open seasonally, offers insights into the area’s Indigenous peoples, as well as the resort era and CCC history. Indian Springs State Park Campground has 62 campsites for tents, trailers, and RVs.
