Campgrounds near Russiaville, Indiana
Russiaville sits in Howard County in north-central Indiana, about ten miles southwest of Kokomo. The surrounding landscape is rolling farmland and mixed hardwoods drained by Wildcat Creek and the Eel River, which shapes the character of nearby campgrounds. Most RV parks in the area are privately owned, family-run properties with water and electric hookups, and the nearest large public campground is on Mississinewa Lake to the north.
Close-in options include Spring Hill Campground, Tall Sycamore Campgrounds, Misthaven Camp Resort, and Woodys Camp and Bait, all within a manageable drive of downtown Russiaville. For a bigger reservoir setting with a beach, boat ramps, and a state-run gatehouse, RV travelers head to Miami State Recreation Area on Mississinewa Lake, a flood-control reservoir with a 400-plus-site campground and family cabins.
The region works well as a quiet base for families exploring Kokomo, Peru, Lafayette, and Indianapolis, with most campgrounds located on flat, easy-access roads suitable for larger rigs.
Things to do near Russiaville
Water recreation drives most trips. Mississinewa Lake, one of the three Upper Wabash flood-control reservoirs, offers fishing, hunting, and boating opportunities in the heart of north-central Indiana, and the lake is known for bass, walleye, and crappie fishing. Tall Sycamore Campgrounds is a common pick for anglers looking for a smaller, creek-side stay.
On land, hikers can pick up trails inside Miami SRA, including the Blue Heron Trail, a 2.5-mile moderate loop located in the Miami SRA with several scenic views of the lake and dam, plus the Shepoconnah and Moswa loops through meadows and young forest. Families also visit the Circus Hall of Fame in Peru, the Kokomo Automotive Museum, and Connor Prairie south toward Indianapolis.
Cyclists find quiet county roads and the Nickel Plate Trail rail-to-trail corridor running through nearby Peru and Cassville.

The main RV season runs from mid-spring through late October. At Mississinewa Lake, all facilities are open May 15th, and the beach opens Memorial Day weekend and closes after Labor Day weekend. The lake reaches normal operating condition with all facilities open by the third weekend in May, with a winter draw down that begins the beginning of October and is complete by December 1st.
Summer weekends and holidays around Independence Day book out early, and reenactment events on the Mississinewa also fill nearby sites. Spring and early fall are cooler and quieter, with lower humidity and strong foliage color in October. All ramps are closed through winter except Red Bridge.
Camping is available year round with limited service during off-season at the state property, so cold-weather RVers should confirm which comfort stations and dump stations remain open before arrival.

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.

How to book near Russiaville
Private parks near Russiaville, including Spring Hill Campground, Tall Sycamore Campgrounds, Misthaven Camp Resort, and Woodys Camp and Bait, are typically reserved directly through the campground by phone or their own website. Availability tightens on summer weekends, so booking several weeks ahead is prudent for holiday stays.
Reservations for Mississinewa Lake Campground can be made through the Indiana State Parks reservation system online or by phone, which runs on the ReserveAmerica platform. Reservations can be made a maximum of 6 months prior to arrival date, until 2pm eastern time on arrival date. Campers can select electric, non-electric, or full-hookup sites and view availability before completing payment.
A single site can be reserved for a maximum of 14 consecutive nights, and the camper must vacate for 48 hours before returning with a new reservation.
What to expect on arrival
Sites near Russiaville generally sit on level gravel or grass pads suited to travel trailers and mid-size motorhomes. Private campgrounds usually offer 30/50-amp electric and water, with dump stations rather than site-side sewer at many locations. Cell coverage is generally reliable, and Wi-Fi is common near camp offices.
At Miami SRA on Mississinewa Lake, sites feature gravel parking pads, picnic tables, and fire rings on thick grass, with most sites in sunny, open areas rather than wooded settings and some back-to-back configurations that reduce privacy between neighbors. A site may not be occupied by more than 6 people, 1 main camping unit, 1 additional tent, and 1 dining fly, with 2 vehicles allowed per site and additional vehicles parked in the overflow lot near the campground gatehouse.
Bring bug spray in summer and expect quiet hours to be enforced.
