RV Parks In Remington, Indiana

Remington sits in northwest Indiana's prairie country, where flat farmland stretches toward the Illinois border and the Kankakee River cuts through marshland that draws waterfowl by the thousands. This is quiet, working-land Indiana -- grain elevators punctuate the horizon, two-lane roads connect small towns, and the night sky opens up without city lights to compete. It's the kind of place where you pull off I-65 and find yourself slowing down, whether you planned to or not.

You've got several campgrounds to choose from around Remington, and here's the good news for budget travelers: some offer free overnight parking. The options range from basic overnight stops to parks with full hookups and amenities. Most sit within a few miles of town, making resupply runs easy without sacrificing that rural camping feel.

From your campsite, you're positioned between two distinct experiences. Head east and you'll hit the Jasper-Pulaski Fish & Wildlife Area, 8,000 acres of wetlands famous for sandhill crane migrations -- we're talking 20,000 birds in peak season. Go west and you're crossing into Illinois farm country with its own network of back roads and small-town diners. The Kankakee River offers decent fishing for smallmouth bass and catfish, and Fair Oaks Farms sits 15 miles north if you're traveling with kids who want to see where their milk comes from.

Camping styles here lean practical. You'll find clean, no-frills parks that cater to I-65 travelers breaking up long hauls between Chicago and Indianapolis. A couple spots offer full hookups with 50-amp service for bigger rigs. If you're into boondocking, the area has legitimate free options -- not just Walmart parking lots, but actual campgrounds that don't charge. This isn't destination camping with resort pools and mini golf. It's basecamp camping for exploring rural Indiana or catching your breath between cities.

Timing matters less here than in tourist-heavy areas, but fall brings those crane migrations (late October through early November) and comfortable temperatures in the 50s and 60s. Summer gets hot and humid -- upper 80s with sticky air -- but campgrounds rarely fill up. Spring can be muddy after snowmelt, and winter camping is possible but limited, as some parks close November through March.

Dump stations are only one piece of the trip puzzle. Before you set out for your trip to Remington, Indiana, it's worth taking thirty minutes to check that the basics are in place — the four areas below are where unprepared RVers most often get stung.

Budget camping runs free to around $25 per night in Remington. Here's the breakdown: some of several campgrounds (a portion%) are free, while a portion% charge a nightly rate. Those free spots are legitimate campgrounds, not just parking lots -- you'll get a level site and basic access, perfect for self-contained rigs passing through.

Paid parks typically charge $20-$30 for full hookups with 30/50-amp service. That's fair pricing for the area -- you're not paying resort rates, and you're getting clean facilities and reliable hookups. Seasonal pricing doesn't fluctuate much because this isn't a tourist destination. You'll pay the same rate in July as you do in October.

Membership discounts apply at some parks. If you carry Passport America or Good Sam, ask when you call -- you might knock $5-$10 off the nightly rate. Harvest Hosts doesn't have locations right in Remington, but there are a few farms and wineries within 30 miles if you're into that program.

Fuel costs run average for rural Indiana. Diesel at the Love's typically tracks a few cents below Chicago prices and a few cents above Indianapolis. Groceries in Rensselaer are standard Walmart pricing -- nothing inflated, nothing bargain-basement. Budget $60-$80 for a week's worth of basics for two people.
