Whitaker Place Campground

A nice RV park, like most of the campgrounds in Reserve and National Guard bases. While little or no trees or cover, the gravel sites are well spaced, with free firewood provided throughout the facility. Four lanes in the campground, with the inner two lanes pull-through and the outside routes back-in. All RV sites are lengthy, and easy for full hookup. Nice children's play area in center and several bath/shower houses spotted throughout. Northern side of the campground is an extensive boat/RV/trailer storage area, but is distinct from the campground. However, IMHO, the nicest sites are those back-in sites on the south side (sites 29-33) for their privacy and abutment to the trees outside of the campground. The cabins have 2 bedrooms, full kitchen, washer/dryer, TV/VCR, gas fireplace, and pets are allowed on a leash in the campground. Cabins offer a vast variety of amenities; fully furnished kitchens, outside grills offer guests the option of dining in, washers and clothes dryers, cable television and wifi internet. Each cabin is lakeside, with outside fire pit, fishing poles and paddle pontoon boats. Enjoy the sandy beach area, the playground for little ones and the wooded walking trails. Note cabins 1&3 sleep up to six, while cabin 3 can sleep ten. Training events at this National Guard base generate gunfire and helicopter/aircraft noise, especially on weekends. Starlink reception was good, with T-Mobile/Verizon cellular coverage adequate. Swimming pool within walking distance of the campground entrance. Absolutely one to revisit in the future.

Overnight stop on the way down to Florida. Well maintained, quiet respite and we wish it was a tad warmer to enjoy some of the amenities… it’s February so can’t have everything. Camp Host was available and super friendly. We were informed that 1/2 the campground was closed due to updates on the electric (the side were the storage is).

Can't say enough about this little hidden gem. Base is not very active and mostly on weekends. Mark the Camp Host is amazing and the place is clean! Happy hour bonfires, special events and very friendly.

Was heading north from Nashville TN to Northern Indiana. Not much available along the route unless you want the KOA east of Indianapolis for $95 plus a night. Found this by chance and was easy to make reservations via phone. Two nights to relax. Nice, well-designed campground with easy access from Alternate gate as the main gate is being rebuilt. You drive by the Housing Office building 403 where you have to sign-in. We didn't need access to bathrooms or washers so we didn't need the pass key at all. This made it easier when leaving. They gave me a nice pull-thru with free wifi. Check in after 12 noon.

When we stayed here from 6/18-25, there was construction at the Main Gate, so it was closed. The gate guard said the construction may be completed by year’s end, but don’t count on it. The only gate open was on Schoolhouse Rd – so, from HWY 31, turn on CR 800 (Old Hospital Rd), Left on 22nd St to the end; turn left and then immediate Right. This road leads straight into the CG. The roads within the CG are gravel, as are the sites. Our site #6 pad was fairly level, sloping down a bit at the front and right side. Ample space at each site, more than enough room for RV and vehicle. We were across from the older bathroom, which was kept clean & supplied. A big downside: There are NO trash dumpsters in or near the CG. You must drive to the nearest dumpster south on Durban St, about a couple minute’s drive. They also have recycling in that area. At the CG, they have plastic and aluminum recycling. On most days, you will hear the sound of gunfire – not from the army troops, but from a civilian firing range on Camp Atterbury. So, it’s not as quiet here as we’d like. There is a large lap-pool across the street within walking distance from the CG. We enjoyed cooling off and getting some cardio exercise there. Speedtests - At&t: 37DL, 1.64 UL; Verizon: 887.8DL, 3.05UL Recommend the Taxman Brewery for some delicious craft Belgian-style beer and eclectic food fare.

This was an interesting visit as it was a time as Camp Atterbury was receiving "guests" from Afghanistan. It is striking how dire the times are for these people. Watching how the military steps up once again for humanitarian care is heartwarming (est. 40% are small children). Now, as to the Campground, Mark the Host was gracious and helpful from the moment we entered the park. He guided us to our site, gave us directions to on base facilities and just overall a excellent person. The park itself is roomy, fairly, easily fitting big-rigs, well maintained and peaceful. Only one of the four wash machines (free to use) was in operation. Mark did say new ones were on order.. With the current supply chain issues, I wouldn't hold my breath but, washer and dryer use was free! There is a pond on site which allows fishing (catch & release), a great place to have a picnic lunch or just sit and relax. The local area has all the amenities necessary within a few miles, the All Ranks club is great for food and drink, personnel friendly and accommodating. Did not visit the PX which appeared to be small and was very busy with providing for The Guests.

Mark is a super host. He was there every time you needed him. He answered all our questions and knew a lot about the camp ground. We have traveled all over and Camp Atterbury is by far the best .

Memorial day weekend was fantastic with all of the things that were available. Jim and Sally worked hard to get everything in order. This is my wife's favorite campground beings it's close and quiet and secure. We've never had an issue with anything. I only wish they'd bring back trash bins and firewood at every camp site. The pool is closed again this year so not as much fun for my daughter. We'll still come back and relax and recommend to anyone else.

We are new to the military campground experience and Whitaker Place was a great introduction. The sites are clean, with full hook-up. I really liked the gravel/cement perimeter design as it helped keep our site clean. The campground was very clean and well maintained. The kayak races and pond fishing was great for our children, they had a lot of fun! My wife enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and general feeling of safety. I loved that our children could ride their bikes around and I didn't feel the need to be over-protective. I never realized how much we both missed the military community. Ive read other reviews about the lack of trash receptacles, but didn't find this to be a big issue for us. It's a good excuse to go for a walk. It would be great if they brought back the firewood. Even if they charged for it, the convenience of grabbing firewood at the campground would be great. I am not sure if it is possible, but I would love to see some trails added near the campground. We ended up going for a ride over to Driftwood Public Fishing Area. It is pretty close-by and offers a beautiful pond/lake and walking areas. Also, while in the area, we stopped by Apple Works. It is only about 10 minutes away and offers fresh fruit/vegetables and some activities for the children. Also, the campground is far enough from the large cities to offer a wonderful night sky. I'll need to bring my telescope next time! The host was great. He remembered our children's names and greeted them by name. He even cheered for them during the kayak races. Overall a great experience. Thank you, and we will return!

The couple who runs this campsite are hands down some of the kindest and nicest i have ever met. They went out of their way to make sure we had any and everything we needed including providing thier own stuff for our use! Overall its been a great experience.

The camp hosts are such great people and welcome everyone with open arms. You can truly tell they love what they do and have a great time doing it. Would recommend this place 100%.

Very nice park. The sites are very roomy and they have a huge gravel patio with built in fire ring. Roads and sites are gravel. The park is clean and we'll maintained. Utilities worked well and were placed well. Easy to navigate through the park and there's a nice catch and release pond. No complaints at all with the park. There is no commissary and a very small exchange even though it's an active base. There are some good restaurants in Edinburgh but Walmart is about 10 or 15 miles away. We would go back.

RV Park is clean and well maintained. Good Wi-Fi. Laundry has 3 washers, 2 dryers, all working, and is FREE! Because of COVID, there is plenty of space available. Biggest drawback is that you have to take your trash 1/3 mile to the recycling center. We reserved for a week, but liked it so much we stayed 16 days.

This is one of those very nice out of the way places. Extremely good facilities and amenities. Some slight annoyances with or dance explosions occasionally, but hey, it's an Army Post. We made a reservation for a pull through in Space #7. But when we arrived the Camp Host said that someone already had that one and he had another unit coming in for his last pull through. On the way around the park, my wife mentioned to me that why should someone else get the pull through when we got there first. As I came around I asked Dave about that and he said we could have the pull through. I told him we were very grateful and appreciated his decision. As far as I know everything worked out for all concerned. He told us that the MWR folks that make the reservations don't communicate with the hosts very well. Other than that, it is a great place to stay.
