Brown County State Park RV & Campground Guide

Indiana

You can find this gorgeous gem in Nashville, IN. Brown County State Park is Indiana’s largest park and encompasses nearly 16,000 acres of rocky hills, ridges, and ravines. It is nicknamed the “Little Smokies” because of the area’s resemblance to the Great Smoky Mountains. The meltwaters from glaciers in the most recent ice ages helped create the narrow ridges, steep slopes and deep gullies of Brown County. The tree-lined roads lead to many scenic viewpoints overlooking miles of uninterrupted forestland. Large campgrounds, hiking and mountain biking trails, a saddle barn for guided horse rides and a separate horseman campground with 70 miles of horse trails are some of the things that make Brown County State Park popular year-round.
