We drove up to the north side and hiked to see Big and Little Clifty Falls, which are pretty dried up now. Trails were challenging but doable for fit people in their 50s and early 60s.

This park is a switch from driving through corn fields across Indiana. It has a narrow valley and sheer cliffs. We were going to hike to a waterfall but the hikes were listed as rugged or very rugged. We are more of the easy to moderate hiker types. We did do a short, easy hike through the woods just to stretch our legs. There are 4 o5 5 different falls. It is a pretty drive around the park. There is a swimming pool and an Inn. You can hike into the gorge but be aware because water can be released from dam. There is a campground and a picnic area.

We camped here in the middle of a week in June. I think that's the only thing that saved us. The lack of people. Clifty Falls is a beautiful park. We were able to switch our campsite when we got there because our was short and in FULL sun! Many are. We liked our 2nd pick much better and the gatehouse attendant was very nice about switching. The pool is spectacular, $3 per person. One thing that irritates me about camping at Indiana state parks is that you have to pay the entrance fee even when you camp. It seems like they should waive that. And we had 2 vehicles so we paid $14 to get in. We enjoyed the hikes. We ate breakfast in the inn one morning ($15 for buffet, yikes). It was good. Beautiful view of the Ohio River and Madison from the Inn. I read a couple reviews and there seems to be a consensus for the campground. THE BATHROOMS REALLY NEED HELP! The whole push button water thing was downright ridiculous and so annoying. Overall we enjoyed our stay and being there in the middle of the week made it even more enjoyable as we aren't really people persons! We would probably return.

My husband & I camped at Clifty Falls State Park for the first time June 6 - 10, 2024. Madison Indiana is a charming small riverfront town just outside of the park. We decided to go in to town to look around & have dinner Saturday night. Dinner was pizza & loaded fries with a side of dill ranch at a local restaurant called The Red Pepperoni. While the pizza was good, the loaded fries were the winner for us. Yum! We also toured the Lanier Mansion. Beautiful home with interesting history! Our tour guide was wonderful & we had a great time. We also went to the Lanthier Winery. It was very small, but we enjoyed tasting some delicious wines & strolling through their small, but very lovely garden with beautiful flowers.
Clifty Falls State Park, while very pretty, isn't for everyone. The hiking trails were all very difficult. We were unable to do any real hiking as I have health problems that keep me from doing things that are strenuous. The trails are also not marked very well once you got past the main signage that indicated the trail number. Hubby & I have ebikes so we did ride those but they do not have any specific biking trails for those of us who like to ride but aren't into mountain biking. Though we did ride our ebikes to the trailheads, we found that only 2 of those trailheads had bicycle racks to lock your bikes. We also did not see any waterfalls flowing while we were at this park. The only time you'll be able to see the waterfalls may be right after it's rained.
The campground is pretty far back into the park, which was alright, but it is uphill to get into it. Once at the campground, we found that the sites were, for the most part, pretty spaced out & most appeard to be fairly level. However, as the sites have no water or sewer, only electric in our loop, another loop has no electric, one would expect the bathhouses to be multiple & useful. While there were 3 bathhouses, 2 on the electric loop & 1 on the non-electric loop, the 2 on the electric loop, that we used, had issues. The 1st of the 2 bathhouses was very old. Usually that is not an issue, however this time it was as the shower stalls looked horrible. Paint was falling off the walls, the lighting was terrible & it just didn't make you feel comfortable. We took 2 different showers in this bathhouse because it was the closet to us. The 1st time we had lukewarm water for about 5 minutes. We thought that the next time would be better, however, the 2nd time we had NO lukewarm water, but instead had a nice cold shower. Ugh!!! I believe this was the fastest I've ever showered in my life! The next two times we showered were in the 2nd bathhouse, which was newer and each shower was a separate door on the outside of the building. They lacked locks that indicated the showers were in use which results in people listening to the door to know if anyone is inside, or knocking on the door, both of which are not fun when you are trying to shower. Luckily, my hubby 3D printed us doorknob signs just for this occasion to put on the outside of the door. As for the actual shower itself, we had high hopes that, as this appeared to be a newer bathhouse, this shower would be much better. Unfortunately for us, we immediately realized that wouldn't be the case. I will say that the water temp was great. However, the drainage was not working so the floor of the room filled up to the door jam with water, the shower heads were painful on your skin, & you had to push a button to make the water come out EVERY 8 SECONDS!!! That's not enough time for the water to get hot before having to push the button again. Before I could even get my hair wet to shampoo, yep, I had to push the button again. And again. And again. I've been to paid bathhouses that are better. At least you get continuous warm water for 4 - 5 minutes straight & you can always add a little more money for more time. At the very minimum, Clifty Falls State Park campground needs to allow campers at least 3 - 5 minutes of water uninterrupted.

Lovely state park. There is a fee- $9 for out of state guests. There are 10 hiking trails that range from moderate to rugged. Parts of the trail(s) have wooden walkways and steps. There is a campground, picnic areas and playgrounds. We hiked to both Big and Little Clifty Falls…you can’t go wrong being out in nature and listening to a waterfall or stream.

The only time I went was in the summer of 1965. I was on my 150cc Honda, there were about five Honda's and a Yamaha 80cc. Coming from Louisville, we entered on the first entrance. No sooner than we entered the Honda Super Hawk got a flat tire. So someone gave him a ride to the falls. We flirted with the girl in the welcome area, then walked down the hill to look at the falls. It was little more than a trickle. We talked a little then headed back up the hill.
About then Ranger Timmy came flying up in his truck, and asked us which of us threw a sparkplug on the road and flattened a car's tire. I mentioned it was a sparkplug from a car, not the small plug of a Honda or Yamaha, but ranger Tim insisted we did this dastardly thing and told us to get out of the park.
Thruth is, ranger Timmy was showing his muscle for his girl friend, and even though the witnesses said we'd done nothing wrong, he chased us off anyway, insisted the young man with the flat tire ride his bike out of the park even though it damaged the tire and the rim.
We weren't completely without guilt; the Yamaha rider picked the most inopportune moment to fly across the empty parking lot across the street from us, just as the ranger drove up.
A few years later, I took my new wife and our four-year-old to Clifty Falls, but there was a sign out front that read "No Motorcycles". I suspect that was put up after our wild ravaging of the park. I, of course didn't enter because of, you know, principles and the like..
I didn't realize there was so much to the park and I guess I'll never know now.

The Inn itself is charming. Typical decor of all Indiana Inns. We were given a queen bed on main floor in the older area. The newer rooms were more expensive. We paid an average price for a room as any hotels but no breakfast is included. When we entered our room noticed carpet was old and stained. The only chair in the room was ripped in two places. We had a loud continious gurgling sound coming out of our register on celing. No place in bathroom to put anything by sink and no extra plug ins anywhere. These rooms are very dated and in need of an update. If you are going to charge prices compared to all other hotel chains you need to spend money on room updates. You stay at these inns for the ambience of the inn itself and the great outdoors. Did not get to see if the other rooms at the other area where they had added on were worth the extra $ but will definately consider them next time as these old rooms are not worth the $$. The staff was very friendly.

Spent the night at Clifty Falls Inn. The staff was friendly & welcoming. The room/bed was comfy and the Inn amenities were great. I got the room w/ breakfast included option. The restaurant was excellent, with scenic views of the Ohio River out every window. The wait staff was friendly and welcoming and the food was cooked to order and delicious.

This is officially the second-best state park in Indiana... right behind Turkey Run. The trails here are amazing. I recommend taking the one that follows the creek bed if the water is down. We also went through the cave and saw most of the falls (even though the water level was down).
Our campsite was also very nice with some of the best shower houses I've been to.
Clifty Falls, may become one of our yearly visits from now on.

My husband and I took our three kids to cool off and enjoy our Sunday.. we got there and immediately felt unwelcome and uncomfortable because of the lifeguards… there were two woman lifeguards who were beyond rude and had a weird entitlement complex.. at one point the lifeguard yelled at a handicapped child for holding onto the rail, then said “DO I NEED TO SPELL THIS OUT FOR YOU” the child didn’t understand and it was sickening to watch.

We too stayed at the end. I would suggest you call the park directly to find that out or look on their web page. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

No, the falls at this park, unlike some other parks, are too dangerous. A lot of it is slate that breaks off.

There are fire rings and grills for every campsite on property.

Yes, there is camping and it is dog friendly. Please be responsible and bring your doggy bags with you to pick up after them just it case! They need to be on a leash of course!

What are the best travel trailer campsites?
Escrita el 2 de mayo de 2019
There are some across the river in Milton, KY that are a nice location. Beautiful view of the River and Madison. Only a 10 min or less drive into town & 15 min to Clifty Falls. You should be able to google it. We stayed in a Tiny House on that side right near the RV-travel trailer area.

Don’t really know. I suppose the legal age of 18 or 21. I’m sure they don’t want parties. Need to check directly with the lodge.
