Camping near New Palestine, Indiana
New Palestine sits in Hancock County on the eastern edge of the Indianapolis metro, putting RV renters within a short drive of downtown attractions and a cluster of full-service campgrounds along the I-70 corridor. The area is flat farmland cut by Sugar Creek and its tributaries, with private RV parks and the state fairgrounds handling most of the overnight demand rather than state or federal sites.
The closest options are grouped just north and west of town near Greenfield and Mt. Comfort. S and H Campground is a family-owned park along Sugar Creek outside Greenfield, about 20 minutes from downtown Indianapolis. Indianapolis KOA Holiday sits about 10 miles east of downtown Indianapolis, just off I-70 at Exit 96 at the Mt. Comfort exit, making it a common pick for renters driving in from out of state.
Closer to the city core, the Indiana State Fairgrounds Campground and Indiana State Fairgrounds Campsite offer paved, urban RV parking at 38th Street. Glo Wood Campground rounds out the local list for renters looking for a smaller, quieter site outside the metro.
Things to do near New Palestine
Most trips here mix on-site campground amenities with day trips into Indianapolis. Indianapolis KOA Holiday has a playground, a water park and a Bark Park, and sits 20 minutes from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and 15 minutes from the Children's Museum, Lucas Oil Stadium and the Indianapolis Zoo. That puts the biggest family attractions in the region within easy reach of a base camp in New Palestine.
On-site activity is a real draw at the private parks. S and H Campground offers full-hookup RV and tent camping with a Family Fun Park featuring inflatable playgrounds, a pool, miniature golf, and a stocked lake, with Sugar Creek running through the property for shoreline fishing and walks.
Downtown, renters can add the Cultural Trail, White River State Park museums, and State Fair events at the fairgrounds itself.

Central Indiana runs on a clear four-season calendar. The region has a humid continental climate with warm, humid summers and cold winters, and precipitation is spread fairly evenly through the year, with spring and early summer running slightly wetter thanks to showers and thunderstorms. Late spring through early fall is the practical RV window for pool access and weekend programming.
Private parks lean hard into the warm months. S and H Campground is open year-round but comes alive from April through October, with activities scheduled every weekend. The Indianapolis KOA pool runs Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend, and the park hosts big holiday-weekend events.
At the fairgrounds, service levels shift with the seasons. Full hook-up sites are available April through October (weather permitting), while electric-only hook-ups are available November through March, and the dump station is closed during that window. Winter stays are possible, but expect limited water service and cold-weather RV prep.

Very nice camper. The owners were very responsive and made the weekend one to remember for my family and me.

Thanks for everything. Motorhome was very nice.
Gavin C. - Sep 2026
Good value for the money. Rv was in good condition and ready to go on pickup. Everyone was very friendly, helpful and responsive. 9/10 would rent from again, 9 only for the purposes that we may rent a bigger rv in the future. But it reasonably accommodated 9 people for its size. We had a great trip.

Booking and reservations
Reservations at the campgrounds near New Palestine are handled directly by each park rather than through a single state or federal system. Indiana State Fairgrounds Campsite bookings go through Campspot, and the annual reservation window opens in early February, which is when big Indy 500, Indy Grand Prix and State Fair weekends get claimed. At the fairgrounds, spaces 1 through 77 are reserved for Indiana State Fair workers and employees, while spaces 78 and up are open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis.
Indianapolis KOA Holiday takes reservations online through the KOA site, and race weekends can fill months out. S and H Campground and Glo Wood Campground book directly by phone or through their websites, with weekend and holiday demand highest between May and Labor Day.
What to expect at area campgrounds
The campgrounds near New Palestine are mostly full-hookup RV parks rather than wilderness sites. Indiana State Fairgrounds Campground has around 170 sites with full hookups, 20/30/50 amp electric, water, showers, a dump station and laundry, and accepts big rigs up to about 50 feet. Expect an urban, paved setting there rather than shade trees.
S and H Campground has a country setting with gravel roads, mature trees, a stocked lake on-site, and a mix of seasonal and short-term sites. Book short-stay sites early, especially on weekends.
Indianapolis KOA Holiday has sites for all types of RVs, including patio sites, plus tent sites and cabins, set under a canopy of oak, maple and sycamore trees along a creek. Max pull-through length there is 110 feet, so oversized rigs are handled easily.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near New Palestine, IN
How much does it cost to rent an RV in New Palestine, IN?
RV rental in New Palestine is one of the most budget-friendly ways to explore central Indiana, with most rigs priced well below big-city averages. Travel trailers typically run $80 to $150 per night, Class C motorhomes range from $150 to $250, and luxury Class A coaches start around $250. Booking midweek or in the shoulder seasons of April and October can shave 15 to 25 percent off peak summer pricing. Pro tip: filter by Instant Book and check listings within 20 minutes of New Palestine (Greenfield, Cumberland, Beech Grove) for the best value. Many owners also offer weekly discounts of 10 percent or more, making a longer Indiana RV trip even cheaper.
visitindiana.com/things-to-do/outdoors/camping/What license do I need to rent an RV in New Palestine, IN?
Good news: a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in New Palestine, Indiana. No Commercial Driver's License (CDL) or special RV endorsement is required, even for big Class A motorhomes, as long as the vehicle is under 26,000 pounds (which covers nearly every rental on the platform). Approved drivers are generally 25 or older, and your ID is verified securely through RVezy before pickup. Visiting from outside the U.S.? Bring your home country license along with an International Driving Permit (IDP) and you are cleared to roll out toward Brown County or the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs my RV rental in New Palestine protected if something goes wrong?
Yes, every RV rental in New Palestine, IN booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can hit I-70 or US-52 with real peace of mind. Protection plans cover most damages to the vehicle and give you financial backup if the unexpected happens. You choose your coverage level at checkout (not the host), so you can match it to your trip and budget. Pro tip: save the RVezy support number in your phone before pickup and take photos of the rig at handoff. With protection built in, your Indianapolis RV adventure stays focused on fun.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if I need to cancel my New Palestine RV rental?
Booking is low-risk: RVezy sets a standard cancellation policy for every reservation, with a money-back grace period built in right after you book so you can lock in dates with confidence. After the grace period, refund eligibility depends on how far out from your trip you cancel. Hosts do not set or change this policy, so it is consistent across every listing in New Palestine. If a host cancels, you receive a full refund or travel credit. Pro tip: book early to secure summer weekends around the Indy 500, knowing the grace period has you covered if plans shift.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in New Palestine?
Absolutely, pet-friendly RV rental in New Palestine is easy to find. Just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy and you'll see plenty of owners who welcome dogs (and sometimes cats) for a small cleaning fee, usually $25 to $75. Once you're rolling, head 15 minutes west to Southeastway Park in Indianapolis, which has leashed-dog trails through wooded ravines, or check out Sahm Park's off-leash dog area. Most Indiana state parks like Brown County and Mounds also allow leashed pets on trails and at campsites. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm pet rules and ask about any nearby dog-friendly patios in Greenfield, just five minutes from town.
in.gov/dnr/state-parks/about-us/park-rules/Can the RV be delivered to my campground or home in New Palestine?
Yes, RV delivery in New Palestine is one of the most popular options on RVezy, especially for first-time renters. Many local hosts will tow or drive the rig straight to your campground, driveway, or even to nearby Indianapolis Motor Speedway parking for race weekends. They'll level it, hook up water and power, and walk you through every system before handing over the keys. Delivery fees typically run $2 to $4 per mile, and some hosts offer free delivery within a set radius. Pro tip: filter by Delivery on the listing search and ask the host to deliver to Heartland Resort in Greenfield (20 minutes away) for a stress-free, hookups-ready arrival.
in.gov/dnr/state-parks/How far can I drive, and is RV rental with unlimited mileage available?
Plenty of New Palestine hosts offer generous mileage packages, and some list RV rental with unlimited mileage right in the listing title, perfect for a longer RV road trip from New Palestine. Standard daily allowances typically run 100 to 150 miles, with extra miles billed at $0.30 to $0.45 each. From New Palestine you can easily reach Brown County State Park (75 miles south), Indiana Dunes National Park (175 miles north), Mammoth Cave in Kentucky (200 miles), Hocking Hills in Ohio (210 miles), or Holiday World in Santa Claus, IN (170 miles) without burning through your allowance. Pro tip: map your route first, then filter listings by mileage policy to match your plan.

You're surrounded by great options for RV camping near New Palestine. Heartland Resort in Greenfield (about 20 minutes east) offers full hookups for any rig size and a quiet, well-kept setting.

in.gov/dnr/state-parks/parks-lakes/When is the best time for an RV trip from New Palestine, Indiana?
Late April through mid-October is the sweet spot for RV camping in New Palestine, with the absolute best weather running mid-May to late June and then again from early September through mid-October. Summer highs sit in the mid-80s with humidity, while spring and fall deliver crisp 55 to 75 degree days perfect for hiking and campfires. October brings fiery fall color across Brown County and Hoosier National Forest. Winter RVing is doable for cold-weather rigs (Indianapolis sees lows in the 20s and occasional snow), and many hosts winterize between December and March. Pro tip: book early-October dates now to catch peak foliage on a Brown County RV road trip.
weather.gov/ind/I've never driven an RV before. Will I be okay first time renting an RV in New Palestine?
You'll be in great shape: first time renting an RV in New Palestine is honestly one of the easiest places to start. The terrain is famously flat farmland (elevations only run 800 to 900 feet), so you won't be wrestling with mountain grades, and the grid-style country roads east of Indianapolis give you plenty of room to get comfortable. Every host provides a thorough walkthrough at pickup covering the dash, leveling, hookups, slide-outs, and dumping. You can also message the host with questions before booking. Pro tip: choose a Class C motorhome or campervan rental in New Palestine for your first trip; they drive like a large van and are perfect for the I-70 corridor.
in.gov/indot/safety/What happens if I have a breakdown during my New Palestine RV trip?
You are never on your own. Every motorhome rental in New Palestine includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the RVezy protection plan, covering common issues like flat tires, dead batteries, lockouts, and tows. If something goes sideways on I-70 between Greenfield and Indianapolis, or out on a country road near Shelbyville, call the number provided in your booking confirmation and help is dispatched. RVezy support is also available before, during, and after your trip. Pro tip: do a quick walkaround every morning (tires, lights, hitch if towing) and keep your host's number handy, most New Palestine owners pick up fast and can troubleshoot remotely.
rvezy.com/insurance-and-protectionCan I take my New Palestine RV rental across state lines or into Canada?
Yes, interstate travel is welcome on nearly every rent an RV in New Palestine booking, which is perfect because you're just minutes from I-70 and US-52. Popular runs include Louisville, KY (115 miles), Cincinnati, OH (110 miles), the Smoky Mountains (375 miles), and Chicago (185 miles). Travel into Canada may be allowed with the host's written permission and proper insurance arrangements, so message before booking to confirm. One firm rule: travel into Mexico is not permitted on any RVezy rental, since insurance coverage doesn't extend there. Pro tip: a classic loop from New Palestine is Indianapolis to Hocking Hills, OH to Red River Gorge, KY: three states, three landscapes, one week.
cbp.gov/travel/us-citizens/know-before-you-goHow much should I budget for fuel on an RV road trip from New Palestine?
Fuel is one of the friendlier line items for a cheap RV rental in New Palestine because Indiana gas prices typically sit below the national average, recently hovering around $3.10 to $3.40 per gallon. Expect 7 to 10 MPG for a Class A, 10 to 14 MPG for a Class C, 15 to 20 MPG for a campervan, and 12 to 18 MPG for a truck pulling a travel trailer. A 300-mile weekend loop to Brown County and back usually runs $90 to $150 in fuel. Pro tip: fill up at the Pilot or Love's near the Greenfield I-70 exit before heading out; prices there are typically lower than in downtown Indianapolis.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground for my Indiana RV trip?
For Indiana state parks, book through the official Indiana DNR camping reservation system as soon as your dates are set: the booking window opens six months ahead, and prime weekends at Brown County, Mounds, and Summit Lake fill the same day they open. Private parks like Indianapolis KOA, Heartland Resort, and S&H Campground typically book three to four weeks out, but Indy 500 weekend (late May) fills months earlier. Holiday weekends require a minimum stay at state parks. Pro tip: if you strike out on your first-choice campground, check Tuesday or Wednesday arrivals, midweek sites are easier to grab and often cheaper per night.
in.gov/dnr/state-parks/where-to-stay/camping/What are local driving conditions like around New Palestine?
Driving conditions around New Palestine are about as RV-friendly as the Midwest gets: flat farmland terrain, wide rural roads, and quick access to I-70 just five minutes north. Watch for slow-moving farm equipment on county roads in spring and fall, and plan to avoid I-465 around Indianapolis during weekday rush hours (7 to 9 AM and 4 to 6 PM). Spring brings occasional thunderstorms, and winter can deliver snow and ice from December through February. Stay alert for low-clearance railroad underpasses near downtown Indy; most are signed but bigger Class A rigs should route around. Pro tip: use US-52 and SR-9 for a slower, scenic alternative to I-70 when heading toward Brown County.
in.gov/indot/traffic-safety/What amenities can I expect at campgrounds near New Palestine?
Campgrounds near New Palestine are well-equipped for any rig. Most private parks like Heartland Resort, Indianapolis KOA, and S&H Campground offer full hookups (30 and 50 amp electric, water, and sewer), hot showers, laundry, Wi-Fi, pools, and on-site dump stations. Indiana State Parks typically offer Class A electric sites (50 amp), modern restrooms, and a centralized dump station and potable water fill near the campground entrance. Fresh water and propane refills are easy to find at TA Travel Center in Greenfield, just 12 minutes from town. Pro tip: pack a 25-foot sewer hose and both 30-to-50 and 50-to-30 amp adapters: state park sites vary, and being ready makes hookup a five-minute job.
in.gov/dnr/state-parks/rates-and-fees/camping-fees/What's actually inside a typical RV rental in New Palestine?
Most RV rentals in New Palestine come fully equipped so you can pull up and start camping immediately. Expect comfortable sleeping for 4 to 8 (queen master, convertible dinette, bunks in family rigs), a full kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave, and basic cookware, plus a wet bath with toilet and shower. Air conditioning, furnace, and seatbelts for travel are standard. Many listings include a generator, awning, leveling blocks, and outdoor speakers. Wi-Fi hotspots and streaming TVs are common upgrades. Pro tip: read the listing's amenities section carefully and message the host before booking to confirm any must-have items like a generator, bike rack, or linens are included.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=New%20Palestine%2C%20IndianaWhat add-ons and pickup options are typical for RV rental Indiana hosts?
RV rental Indiana hosts in the New Palestine area offer a great menu of add-ons that make your trip easier. Common options include linen and kitchen kits ($50 to $100), generator hours ($3 to $5 per hour beyond a daily allowance), bike racks, camping chairs, outdoor grills, propane refills, and dump and refill services ($35 to $75) so you can hand back the rig without a stop at the dump station. Pickup is usually at the host's New Palestine driveway between 1 and 4 PM with a 45-minute walkthrough; drop-off is by 11 AM. Pro tip: bundle add-ons during booking rather than at pickup; many hosts offer a 10 percent discount when you stack three or more.
in.gov/dnr/state-parks/How does payment and the security deposit work for an RV rental in Indiana?
Payment is simple and secure: when you book an RV rental in Indiana through RVezy, your card is charged for the rental total through the platform (never directly to the host), and a refundable security deposit is held separately from the booking payment. The deposit is released after drop-off, typically within 7 days, as long as the rig comes back clean, undamaged, and at the agreed fuel and tank levels. Pro tip: do a video walkaround with the host at both pickup and return, photograph the odometer and fuel gauge, and dump the black and gray tanks before returning (or pre-pay the dump fee), that is the easiest way to get your full deposit back fast.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksIs a family RV trip New Palestine friendly, and what are the best nearby destinations?
A family RV trip from New Palestine is one of the most underrated Midwest vacations. You are 20 minutes from Indianapolis Motor Speedway and The Children's Museum of Indianapolis (one of the largest children's museums in the world), 75 miles from Brown County State Park for fall foliage and hiking, and a short drive to the Indianapolis Zoo and White River State Park. Heartland Resort in Greenfield offers a family-friendly base with full hookups, a pool, and mini-golf just 20 minutes away. Pro tip: filter RVezy listings for bunkhouse floor plans and outdoor TVs, they are perfect for keeping kids comfortable on a family RV trip in New Palestine.
