German Ridge campground in the Hoosier National Forest

German Ridge campground is located in Perry County Indiana. From Cannelton, Indiana, take State Road 66 east 9.8 miles to German Ridge road and go 0.8 miles to the Recreation area. There is a German Ridge sign. Turn left and proceed to the campground.

This is a great campground to bring your family with your tents, sleeping bags, and camping gear for a weekend or week of family fun in the outdoors and nature of the Hoosier National Forest.

There are 20 campsites and you can also have an RV on 19 of them. This a is a primitive campground area with no electric or potable water.  All 20 campsites have built in tent pads. All 20 sites have picnic tables and camp fire rings with cooking grates on them also.

There is a lake with a beech and changing area for swimming. This is recreational area only, there is no designated areas to pitch your tent or sleeping outside in your sleeping bag. However you can picnic here. You can also fish in the lake.

There are 25 miles of trails in German Ridge where hiking, horse back riding, and mountain bike riding are allowed. You have to purchase a permit to ride the trails on a horse or mountain bike. You can purchase the permits at many  local stores. AGV's are not allowed on any of the Hoosier National Forest trails.

There is a spigot with non potable water for horses. There are vaulted toilet facilities available, but no flush toilets. There are pitching rails for horses but no corrals.

It is $4.00 a day to camp here.

This campground is open year round. Again,  it is a great place to bring your family with your tents, sleeping bags and all your camping gear for a weekend or week to visit the outdoors and nature in the Hoosier National Forest!
