Go down to LBL, they don't even have campsites....you buy a permit at the ranger station and head to one of the designated camping areas. Once there you park your TT wherever you like.
Hoosier national forest and Patoka Lake are also nice.
Note that most/many of the places you want to go to have no and/or limited hookups. I did a lot of research here and elkewhere to optimize our TT for dry camping. Extra water capacity, portable blue tank, dual 6V batteries, Honda gen, LED lights, etc. all designed to live off the grid for a long 3-4 day weekend. If potable water and central dump are available at the CG you can stay as long as you want.
Folks that are living in CGs rely on hookups....you can't use a TT as a house without water/electric/sewer at the site. Even sites with just water/electric won't get people living there due to the hassle of dumping grey water every other day.
So skip the private CGs and look for state and county park camping. hate to say it, but try as many places as you can...you will like some better than others. You'll start a list as we did of places that we will and will not return to. Long term residents is only one of the things that can make a CG less desirable.
Headed tonight to Charlestown State Park in Indiana, not far from you.
Ever been there?
It looks fairly remote and the guy said only 50 of 200 sights were booked for this weekend. Not sure if thats a good or bad thing???
