Thanks everybody for your help. We are excited to make our trip. I am thinking we will plan to stay at Brown County SP, but make sure we are full of water when we enter the park. Once we get some experience under our belt I will feel more confident about camping with out all the extras. Thanks again !

Very good choice!

While Brown County State Park does not have water or sewer at the sites there is water is a few areas that you can use to fill up your camper if needed. Many people will fill up their camper as they pull into the campgrounds.
If you need an advise on a certain camp spot there shot me a PM as we camp there a couple a times a year.

I've stayed overnight at Woods and Waters, think it would be adequate for a few days, but the setting is not really like a state park.

We tend to use the terms campground and RV park interchangably, probably because so many RVers do like to be in wilderness-like campgrounds with full RV park amenities (full hookups, paved pads and patios, cable TV, Internet, restaurant, convenience store, swimming pool, LPG service et al).

My experience is that this just doesn't happen that often. Even the family-oriented destination chains that call themselves campground (or Kampground) are more like RV parks, and the "improved" or "modern" RV sections of public campground tend to be more like the RV parking lot than a place you would want to camp for an outdoor experience.

So you have to choose, trip by trip. If you want camping, you are likely to choose a campground, but not have all the amenities of modern life. If you want your little patch of suburbia as a temporary location for your home on wheels, this will more likely be found in a RV park.

Sometimes you will find almost the two things together, but not very often, and it will usually be expensive (thinking of Fort Wilderness).

Trafalgar, huh? Kind of in the middle of nowhere. The Lake Monroe Campgrounds (Paynetown) will be quite a haul, Mounds is way out of your way. FHU there are some campgrounds east of Nashville along Ind 46 that look like nothing more that RV parking lots. If it's scenery and a nice campground Brown County even without FHU would be your best choice. There are also a campground over along 65 near Columbus, Woods & Waters that I've driven thru but have stayed. There's another in Columbus Ceraland that used to be a Cummins Employee Park (Cummins- the diesel engine manufacturer and THE major employer in the area) that has always intrigued me and gets good reviews in RV Park reviews. If staying in Columbus, Kroger grocery store usually has some of the cheapest fuel prices in the state, Arni's in Columbus is a good place to eat, too.

Brookville Mounds Campground on Brookville, Lake fits your description and has FHU sites but its a little out of your way. Its in the Mounds State Recreation Area.

Indiana SPs have only electric (or no-hookup) sites. Nevertheless, Brown County or Lake Monroe (Paynetown) SRA would be good choices, even for that length of time. There is a private CG south of Bloomington, near Lake Monroe, which is ok, and has FHUs: Lake Monroe Village Resort.
