richmond indiana

Thanks All will look into theses suggestions Merry Xmas

I agree with lbrjet. If you book early you may get a full hookup site at Mounds. As dutchsport said make sure you reserve at Mounds/Brookville not Mounds/Anderson.

If you are planning the first weekend in June plan early because Richmond is home to the national Model T museum and they are having a big gathering that weekend.

You can visit http://visitrichmond.org/ to keep up to date on what is going on.

Even if you don't stay down at Mounds(hard to get into the full hookup section) take a half day and drive down to Brookeville. Talk a walk on the dam and on the way back stop at Ainsley's Cafe & Harbor Bar for lunch. Very pretty area. It is an area in Indiana not many people know about, but is one of the finest in the state. We used to own a lot at the Brookeville Lake Resort so we know the area well.

Thanks everybody for the replies we could go with either a 30 amp of 50 amp but want full hookup for the rest we plan on going for about 5 days.

My hometown. It all depends what you are looking for. The KOA, Deer Ridge, Grandpa's Farm are all decent private campgrounds. Grandpas farm is on a busy state rd and can be noisy. Natural Springs Resort just across the state line in New Paris Ohio (Richmond is on the IN/OH border)is also a good choice.

Just 20 minutes south of town is Whitewater State Park. Very nice park but only has 30 amp hookups, no water, no sewer but does have 2 dump stations and water fill station is available. The rest of the Brookville Lake area which Whitewater is part of is 10 minutes further south consists of Mounds Recreation area which has some full hook ups and Quakertown SRA that is very nice with hookups similar to Whitewater.

Richmond/Centerville does have many many nice antique shops. If you are more specific with your hookup needs and other interests I will do my best to point you in the right direction.

I'm from Richmond originally. Dutchmen gave you some good ideas. There'a another campground just over the state line in New Paris, OH - Natural Springs Resort - it's built around an old gravel pit. I like Mounds State Recreation on Brookville Lake the best. They have a full hook up loop. Reserve early if decide to go there as it will fill up quickly. And I think the antique shops you want are in Centerville, not Richmond. If you stay @ Mounds, nice little restaurant in Liberty, The Liberty Bell, good food at reasonable prices.

Depending upon how far you want to travel? There is a KOA in Richmond. We've stayed there a few times. It's a typical KOA... full hook-up, and sites are a mid-range size. Nice people, easy access to Richmond.

If you don't mind a little further drive, White Water State park, Brookville State recreation area, and Mounds State recreation (not to be confused with Mounds State park in Anderson.) We have stayed at all 3 of these parks on several times over the years, and love each one of them. We hit all 3 this year 2015).

There are a number of private campgrounds in the area too, but we enjoy the 3 near Liberty, Indiana, we wouldn't even begin to think of staying anywhere else if we are anywhere in that pocket area of Indiana. Also, the 3 campgrounds are not that far from Connersville and Metamora, Indiana. Not sure if they still have, (haven't checked), but they use to have a train that ran from Connersville to Metamora. When the kids were littler, we paid a little more so we could ride in the caboose.

That whole area of Indiana (Richmond South) is a great area! I strongly suggest the 3 campgrounds. But, KOA is right there at Richmond right off I-70.
