About this campground

Tent Area B

The Tent Area B camping area in Indiana is located within the Shades State Park, which offers stunning views of the sandstone cliffs, deep ravines, and dense forests. The nearby Sugar Creek is a popular spot for canoeing and kayaking, while the Pine Hills Nature Preserve is known for its wildflowers, birds, and limestone formations.

The campground amenities include picnic tables, campfire rings, and modern restrooms with showers. It operates on a first-come-first-serve basis, offering 62 campsites, all of which are equipped with electric hookups.

An interesting fact about the area is that it was once used as a hideout by notorious outlaws such as Jesse James and the Reno Brothers.

The best time of year to visit the Tent Area B camping area is during the fall season, from September to November when the foliage turns into a vibrant mix of red, orange and gold. The average temperature during this time is around 60°F during the day and can drop to 30°F at night.
