Lincoln State Park

We selected this campground because it is adjacent to the Lincoln Boyhood Home National Historic Site. In fact, the state of Indiana gave the Boyhood Home site to the Park Service. We had a peaceful stay; the bathhouse was clean, showers were comfortably warm. My only complaint would be that the site have little privacy. This was not an issue for us as the campground was only about @1/3 capacity; at a busy time that might be a concern. We were here at the beginning of October 2017.

We were here in March, just a few days after they opened. We were given a reduced rate because the water hadn't been turned on at the campsites and all the comfort stations were still closed.

The waterfront sites are perfection, you're close to the water and a short walk away from the beach. Of course, my review is skewed because there was only one other camper there. I'm sure in the summer it's not as quietly pleasant.

The park the safe, clean and quiet. It's right across the street from the Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial, and the state park has its own pieces of Lincoln history as well. The town of Santa Claus is nearby, we only stopped by for petrol, but it looks kind of interesting.

Overall, we loved our stay. We would definitely come back here, especially in the summer to enjoy the lake a little more. (But we thoroughly enjoyed our quiet loner camping too.)
