Deam Lake State Recreation Area in Borden Indiana offers electric and primitive (no water, electric, or sewer) hookup RV and tent camping adjacent to a recreational lake. Many multi-use trails leave from the campground.

What campers say

Deam Lake State Recreation Area offers a large, calm lake (electric-motor-only) with a sandy beach, shallow swim areas for children, and paddle/kayak rentals—good for family outings. Trails range from rugged lake-views to Knobstone Trail access and some sections need occasional maintenance or a map. Campground sites and cabins provide picnic tables, grills, and basic bathroom/shower facilities; several visitors praised helpful staff. Expect tradeoffs: sites can feel close together and restroom cleanliness is inconsistent at times. Horse camping and extensive horse trails, fishing, and plentiful parking round out the park’s outdoor options.
