Buzzard Roost Campground in the Hoosier National Forest

Buzzard Roost Campground is located in Perry County, Indiana. From state highway 64, take the IN 237/66 exit for English / Sulphur, head south toward Sulphur. At Sulphur, there is a 3-way intersection, continue south on State Highway 66 through the community of Oriole. Turn off State Highway 66, 1.5 miles south of Oriole onto the first road east ( Onido Road ) and follow it bearing to the right at the intersection of Onido and Orchard Roads. Continue on Onido Road to the marked entrance of Buzzard Roost. Turn left at the entrance sign.

There are 5 campsites at Buzzard Roost campgrounds. Tents and RV's are allowed with 30 feet max length on RV's. There is no electric or water hookups, make sure to bring your water. The forest service provides a portable restroom. There is a picnic table at every campsite and also fire pits with grills attached to them. This is a primitive campground and is an awesome place to bring your family, tents, sleeping bags, and all your camping gear for a weekend or longer. You have to pack out what you pack in.

There are 2 hiking trails at Buzzard Roost camping grounds, one is along the top of the cliff, it has benches along the trail with an awesome panoramic view of the Ohio River below and Kentucky farmlands across the Ohio River. This is a great place to watch Eagles, Hawks, and Buzzards soar above the river. The other trail goes down the hill to the Ohio River and there is a bench there also.

Come visit nature at Buzzard Roost campgrounds in the Hoosier National Forest.
