We live an hour west of Evansville, IN.
Directly across the river from Evansville is John J. Audubon State Park in Henderson, KY, a long-time favorite of ours.
Burdette Park in Evansville has camping and other activities
Spencer, IN, has McCormick's Creek State Park, which is wonderful.
We also love Lincoln State Park and Lake Rudolph near Santa Claus, IN. Lake Rudolph is very, very busy. We like it, though, depending on what you have in mind for that trip.
We've camped at Lieber State Park near Brazil, which is close to Cataract Falls.
Someone mentioned Harmonie State Park, but there's also camping within the city park of New Harmony.
If you're interested in crossing over into southern Illinois, there are 4 COEs and 1 state park at Rend Lake. On further south you can primitive camp within the Shawnee National Forest. Beautiful rock formations and trails.
