For Spring Mill State Park: We were looking to take advantage of the warmer temperatures and headed for our first visit to Spring Mill State Park at Mitchell, Indiana. The hilly park makes good use of its well maintained roads to wind through some of Indiana's finest State Park country. In addition to the classic inn with its restaurant and lodging the park features the well preserved Pioneer Village and the not to be missed Gus Grissom museum. The trees had passed their colors and most were bare but the solitude and the natural beauty of the grounds provided for a pleasurable weekend. We selected Lot 23 which is located in the campground loop that features many mature trees and offers lots of shade in the summer months. The other campground appeared to have younger and fewer trees but still a nice area to camp. Lot 23 has a creek that runs behind it. (If you want the creek right behind you pick lot 24 which also looks level.). We were fortunate that 23 was level and required no adjustments on our part. Beware that while there are a good number of "level" lots we came across many that would have been a challenge to us. Be sure to take note of the lot descriptions that may list "slight incline" but could indicate a significant slope. Probably not a problem for many trailers but our 25 foot Class C would not have enough lift to make us level. The Campstore had a nice variety of supplies which came in handy as we found we needed an extension for our drinking water line. While I remembered the online description as saying "Electric Only" we were happy to find water available. The water spigot, however, was the farthest from our site that I had ever experienced. Our 25 foot line was not enough. We enjoyed touring the Pioneer Village which was holding a craft show. We also took advantage of the many trails available. I would highly recommend taking some time at the Gus Grissom Museum next to the front gate. The nearby town of Mitchell is proud of its native son and this collection of artifacts from Gus's extraordinary service tells an inspiring story. There's a short film that tells the Grissom story in fine fashion. Although we have a number of Indiana State Parks yet to visit we will gladly return to Spring Mill State Park to enjoy its beauty and amenities.

For Spring Mill State Park: This park has NO 50 amp. No water at sites. Almost all sites unlevel and few for 40 foot rig. Would be very tough on weekend. Park info on Allstays is incorrect. We did find one after much work. Also park map is horrible.

For Spring Mill State Park: We stayed here in August 2016 in a motorhome. The sites are somewhat small and not level. Some of the water hydrants will require extra hose to reach. Sites are 30 amp. Do recommend touring the Spring Mill Pioneer Village.
