Mitchell Creek Road

Within Hoosier National Forest, Mitchell Creek Road provides dispersed camping along a forest trail that may lead to private residences. The US Forest Service manages this drive-in site, which features a fire ring and a small clearing for camping setup.

One reviewer noted safety concerns about the remote location and opted not to stay overnight, particularly given the need to remove valuables from vehicles for car camping arrangements. The trail's uncertain destination and isolated setting may require campers to assess their comfort level with the area's remoteness before committing to an overnight stay.

Hole in the road

Did not stay the night - wasn’t confident about its safety given my own personal circumstances so I’m leaving.

It’s on a forest trail that may or may not go to a residence. Theres a fire ring and some bit of a clearing but my car camping requires removing a specific necessary valuable from th car in order to lay down and I don’t feel safe doing so here.
