Bordered by Lake Michigan and Ohio River, Indiana boasts a rich natural heritage that has thrived around its wetlands, streams, and rivers. Although it has come a long way from being dominated by prairies and forests, the state still holds vests tracts that serve as living museum of diverse flora and fauna, including evergreen and deciduous trees, native shrubs, ferns, bats, bears and chipmunks. The state boasts several hundred lakes, 24 state parks, and amazing hiking and trekking spots. It has glacial features in the north, while the south is peppered with ridges, valleys, caves, and mineral springs, all perfect settings for scenic train rides. Indeed, visitors will find plenty of things to do here. All of these features make this place a camper’s paradise, but it also accommodates the more indulgent requirements of glamping – which is camping that dials up the luxury quotient. What are you waiting for? Enjoy glamping in Indiana, USA.
