Campgrounds near New Market, Indiana
New Market sits in Montgomery County, west-central Indiana, a short drive from the Sugar Creek corridor and the sandstone ravine country that draws paddlers, hikers, and family campers. The town is roughly ten miles south of Crawfordsville, which puts a mix of private RV parks, state-park campgrounds, and lake-based sites within a half-hour to hour of a base camp.
Closest to town, Sugar Creek Campground and Canoe Rentals offers tent sites, RV spots, and cabins with on-site paddling, and the Crawfordsville KOA Journey provides a full-hookup option near I-74. To the southwest, Shades State Park sits about 17 miles southwest of Crawfordsville, known for sandstone cliffs above Sugar Creek and a large non-electric campground.
Further afield, Charlarose Lake and Campground and Raccoon State Recreation Area on the 2,060-acre Cecil M. Harden reservoir add lake-based options with boating, a swimming beach, and larger electric loops suited to bigger rigs.
Things to do around New Market
Sugar Creek is the region's main draw. Tubing, kayaking, canoeing, and creek fishing pull campers to the water, with smallmouth bass among the target species. On-site liveries at Sugar Creek Campground and Canoe Rentals run shuttled float trips, and tubing excursions book out quickly on summer weekends, so advance reservations are worth making.
Hikers head to Shades State Park for wooded ravines and overlooks above the creek, with the adjacent Pine Hills Nature Preserve adding longer routes through steep terrain. Turkey Run State Park is about 20 minutes further west for more trails and suspension-bridge crossings.
At Raccoon State Recreation Area, families use the swimming beach, boat rentals, and lakeside trails. Nearby Parke County covered bridges and the Historic Mansfield Roller Mill make easy half-day drives from any base camp.

The main camping window in this part of Indiana runs from spring through mid-fall. Sugar Creek Campground and Canoe Rentals typically operates during the paddling season on the creek, roughly May through October. Water levels are highest in spring and can force short-notice float cancellations after heavy rain.
State-park sites follow a longer schedule. Shades State Park has around 101 single-family non-electric campsites in a wooded area southwest of Crawfordsville, and the campground is listed as open year round, though facilities are reduced outside peak months. Raccoon State Recreation Area is also open year round, with the busiest weekends running Memorial Day through Labor Day.
Fall is the local peak for lake and covered-bridge trips. Forest colors are vivid in October when Parke County holds its Covered Bridge Festival, and campgrounds near Rockville and along Sugar Creek fill weeks in advance for that stretch. Winter camping is possible at open state properties, but expect frozen water lines and limited services.

Richard was very responsive to any questions that I had prior to picking unit up. Trailer was very clean and still looks like new inside. Had all the basic necessities both inside and out to ensure easy set-up. Would highly recommend this unit if you are camping in Indy area. Donnie Luce-CA

I had a great vacation and the ease of renting the camper made it so much better than staying in a hotel. Richard made it an easy transaction and was there if I needed any help. The camper was accommodating, very clean and comfortable to sleep in. I won't hesitate to do this again in the future and look forward to having another fulfilled adventure.

Great stay in this camper. It literally has everything you need or cooking, cleaning and comfort. They truly thought everything through and it made our life a whole lot easier. They had everything set up and ready to go and came and picked it up when we were done. Great stay!

How to book campsites near New Market
Indiana state-park sites, including Shades State Park and Raccoon State Recreation Area, are booked through the Indiana DNR reservation system at camp.IN.gov, powered by ReserveAmerica. The maximum booking window is six months in advance of arrival, and unreserved sites that remain open at arrival can be picked up on a first-come, first-served basis at the gatehouse. Reservations open at noon Eastern Time on the release day.
Private options such as Sugar Creek Campground and Canoe Rentals, Charlarose Lake and Campground, and Crawfordsville KOA Journey take reservations directly through their own booking pages, with tubing add-ons sold separately.
For summer weekends and the October festival window, plan to book the day the reservation window opens.
What to expect on-site
Site type varies sharply across the area. Shades State Park is all non-electric and pet-friendly, so RV travelers should arrive with full water and charged batteries. A dump station, water fill stations, showers, and flush toilets are available in the campground, and sites can accommodate rigs up to 55 feet, though vehicles that large may have difficulty on the winding park roads.
Raccoon State Recreation Area is easier for larger rigs, with loops ranging from non-electric to 50-amp full hookups. Many sites sit under tree canopy and are not level, so choose carefully to suit your setup.
Private parks along Sugar Creek and near Crawfordsville offer full hookups, camp stores, and on-site paddling liveries. Cell coverage is generally reliable near town and thinner inside the ravines at Shades.
