It feels as though you’re going back in time as you stroll through the Spring Mill Campground during the Vintage Camper Rally. Many of the campers have been impressively restored or built completely by the owners!
The open house is on Saturday, August 17th, from 2-6 PM. This is a walk-through event only. Parking will be at the campground or overflow parking will be at the pool.
Join us this weekend as we honor the legacy of Lawrence County’s hometown hero, astronaut Virgil I. “Gus” Grissom. Born and raised in Mitchell, Indiana, Grissom went on to become one of the first Americans to fly into space.
In celebration of his remarkable achievements, we invite you to join us at Spring Mill State Park for a weekend filled with exciting space-themed events and activities!
