RV's too old to park in their campground???
I bought my motorhome with the intention of leaving CT, and spending quality time with my family who has relocated to the outskirts of Indianapolis this year. I was paying my rent here in CT yesterday...

Indiana State Parks turn the water off November 1 and turn the water back on April 1. Anyone can just drive in (no park entrance fees during these months, no one at the gate). You drive in, pick your camping spot and set up. Electric is still on. Eventually, one of the Park Workers will come around and collect your camping fees. If they are not driving a DNR vehicle, they are not legitimate.
The fee for camping is considerably less during these months, but there is no water, bath houses and restrooms are closed and locked. You can still dump at dump stations, but the water is turned off there too.
If you can carry in your own water, it's absolutely a great experience! Especially when there is snow on the ground!
Of course, camping during these months is still iffy-iffy with Indiana weather. It can be 20 below zero one week, and 40 above zero the next and back to below zero the next. But the water remains off until April 1.
THANK YOU!!! What great information. I'm elated. Now I can just look for the nearest state park to them, which is probably closer than either of those RV parks with age restrictions. I'm so happy to hear this. Thank you for posting! (((((Hugs)))))
