Governor Mike Braun and the Indiana DNR announced plans Monday for a larger campground at McCormick’s Creek State Park.
A deadly EF-3 tornado destroyed the campground and most nearby trees in March 2023.
The new 65-acre campground will feature 192 larger sites with electric, water and sewer hookups.
The roughly 32-by-40-foot sites will accommodate bigger recreational vehicles.
Thirty-two primitive tent sites and existing group camps will remain.
Plans also include a gatehouse, camp store, three comfort stations and playgrounds.
The campground is expected to cost $25 million.
The Indiana DNR Division of Forestry will provide timber for the gatehouse and camp store.
It is expected to open in late summer 2028.
