Two campgrounds that would be convenient for Fountain and Tippecanoe County
researchers would be:
KOA Kampground 1600 N. Lafayette Rd. Crawfordsville In 47933 -- Phone
765-362-4190. This is just south of the interchange of I 74 and US 231.
Charlarose Campground is a small camping area not far from US 136, between
Hillsboro and Waynetown -- looks to be grassy.
3204 E 300 S, Hillsboro IN 47949 -- Phone 765-234-7286.
Perhaps someone will add others.

I am also looking for lodging, but a campground, instead. I will be
researching in both Fountain and Tippecanoe Co's and will have a little
pop
up (hard sides, no canvas). Where would be the closest and decent
campground.
Thank you, Gayle
