About
North Face Loop sits within the Indian-Celina Lakes Recreation Area, a tranquil retreat in southern Indiana's Hoosier National Forest. The campground surrounds two small lakes known locally as some of the best fishing spots in Indiana. Each of the 34 sites comes equipped with a picnic table and fire ring with grill, with a mix of standard electric and non-electric options available. The loop features centralized potable water, flush toilets, and hot showers during the peak camping season. During the off-season, vault toilets remain available. Only electric and non-motorized boats are permitted on the lakes, maintaining a peaceful atmosphere for fishing and paddling. An accessible fishing pier on Celina Lake and the historic Rickenbaugh House (open periodically) add to the area's appeal. The campground operates year-round, though services are limited from November through March. Firewood brought to the site must be kiln-dried, bark-removed, or bear an Indiana DNR stamp to prevent the spread of invasive pests.
