Camping with electric and non electric sites is offered through Starve Hollow State Recreation Area in Vallonia and the Jackson-Washington State Forest in Brownstown.

Starve Hollow also offers swimming, boat and kayak rentals, play areas, picnic areas, mountain bike trails and more to complete your experience. Jackson-Washington State Forest also includes several picnic areas where you and your family can spend some quality time together.

If you’re not up for an overnight stay, both properties are a great place to spend a day enjoying the outdoors. Jackson County also is home to the Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge, which includes trails and opportunities for fishing, bird watching, nature photography and more.
