Richmond Koa Campground, Richmond, Indiana

Need something to make your stay more enjoyable? Just ask. That's the attitude at this campground, which includes a mix of grassy and shady sites-most wide enough to handle slide-outs. On summer weekends, kids meet for crafts, games, hayrides and movies, if you can pull them out of the pool. Parties fill the calendar, including wine and cheese gatherings, ice cream socials and a big chicken barbecue and corn roast in August. The region is packed with historic treasures. Find some yourself at Antique Alley, a 33-mile stretch with more than 900 dealers. Tour the 1839 red-brick home, called the "Grand Central Station of the Underground Railroad," where Levi and Catharine Coffin hid 2,000 runaway slaves.
