Blackwell Horse Camp

Great campground! I camped here during the winter. There were very few people. The road to get there was a little rough. It was covered with snow. There is access to the trails in Deam wilderness. The pit toilets were typical of State park. A great place to spend the weekend!

Very nice free camping geared for camping and trail riding with horses. There were very few campers the week night we stayed and no horses. Great location for us to stop while traveling between south central Ohio and St. Luis Missouri. Clean and well kept. Grassy area to set up camp. Plenty of room for trailers. Spacious and stocked pit toilets. Nice trails through the trees to stretch your legs if just passing through, and it would be an excellent area to stay a few days to explore the trail systems and check out the nearby lake... maybe next time.

This place was great. DNR leaves you alone. There's water and restrooms. There are persimmon trees and hedge apples. The trails are not labeled or maintained. There are trees down all over the trails. And the ticks are awful. Found lion's mane and two patches of chicken of the woods. If you go deeper in the woods to camp. Don't shoot any guns. I had a bigfoot encounter. I don't care if y'all believe me. There are police reports of sightings in the area.

Lots of trails to hike and backpack. . Even camp. Not sure about the fees if there are any. It looks pretty primitive but there are clean toilets. The trails that i was on (Grubb and Cope Hollow Loop) have definitely had some work invested. Thank you👍😊 But even still i went quite a ways without signage. All Trails GPS quit working down by one of the creeks and lost the trail for about 30 minutes! It's amazing how quickly you can feel lost! Just had to use common sense and a good sense of direction to get me back on the trail. Thank God for a clear day. It was my first ever 10 mile backpacking (20 lbs) hike❤️👣. I only managed to pick up 3 "hitchhikers" on the way. Flushed them down the toilet when i got home😉🤪😂

First time been here Arrived early morning, and see few RV and small car, the. Find great spot to build tent. Very peacefull place to stay We can stay 14 days over there which is clearly on the sign, only drive few miles on gravel. They have 2 restroom, during the night the restroom bit creepy lol 😂. We will see often turkey passing around the campground. Just about few miles following the gravel we will arrived at hickory ridge lookout tower which has amazing view from the top. Its very reccomended place to stay for free.

Love this campground,if your looking to camp for free in the Hoosier national Forrest this is the place. Everyone is welcome,there are plenty of spots to set up camp. Has clean pit toilets, and it's always quiet. Not to mention it's minutes from lake Monroe,and it's the trail head for Grubbs hays trail,which will take you to Patton cave

Nice free camping. 14 days Hoosier National Forest. Restroom, dumpster and potable water

Quiet & beautiful. Until the locals show up. The week we were there, it rained. No worries, we just enjoyed the calmness. Friday started bringing apparent locals that enjoyed racing through the park along with vehicles with teens who thought this place is the ideal area to get high. One even parked right next to our rig. I really hope this isn’t the norm as this place is a nice area to visit.
