I'll try again.

 

The area by the fishing pond is nice with lots of huge trees. The ground is level by the road but gets sloped as you go towards the pond. access to this area and parking is from the main road not via the campground drive. Other than sites 37 through 40 the other electric sites around are ocuipied perminents, we are in site 30. 

The white area in the back beyond area D and site 11 is a huge primative only area.

With all the rain recently I expect bugs to be bad so bring spray and tourches etc..

Ice at the camp store is cheaper than in town prices.

Fire pits are provided, no IL wood allowed in IN. No spare wood around. There are no locals selling wood so bring it with or buy from the camp store.

Toilets are in the back of camp office and shower house D. Showers at camp office are seperated by curtains showers in Shower house D have walls.

They also have a pool so bring a suit if so inclined.

There is a pizza place in Pine Village that has great food called Arnie's. Pizza is very good with ground pepperoni. The Gut buster or Hot italian sandwiches are also great. If you want to pick something up on the way in for Friday night. from 41 take 26 east into Pine Village and then 55 south to get to the campsite. They are located in same building as the gas station, they only take cash, gas station has ATM. Not too far out of the way, its about 7 miles north and adds at most 5 minutes to the trip.

Jeff the sites right along the road do have electric, I'm not sure

about water though, check them-out before you register as the true pull

throughs are in the back around the area D shower house. Groups with 3

to 4 campers and tents regularly use area E.

Tony I'll have the truck and trailer with me if you want to check-out the Ecoboost.

If anybody goes through Rainsville on the way in don't miss the town hot spot, an outdoor Pepsi machine at the only stop sign.

See you there

Regina and the crew are very good people and pretty trusting. They usually put larger family groups or scout groups that have multiple campers and tents up front by the fishing pond and jeepers in the back. The back is the white space area past site 11 and past the Area D showers, it's huge, almost as big as the campground by the park but no electricity that I can recall. If you guys are in front then it's a smaller area for groups where enveryone know each other to setup in and not designed with well define seperate areas for lots of strangers to setup.

Last weekend it had 3 large trailers a couple of popups and several tents there.

 

Did anyone do a count of RVs and tents?

You guys are in the back larger area, which is good thing, plenty of room to spread-out. Also the badlands email newsletter has a coupon for free drinks this weekend.
