We booked last minute and Caroline helped us with our reservation and settled us in she was great. Only stayed one night but liked that it was close to shipshewana flea market. The resort seemed a bit older but offered many amenities like, a pool, mini golf, basketball and several bath houses some where updated. Would stay again if in the area.

spoke to gal as convention we were attending ended on labor day weekend sending us out of Pennsylvania needing to be in Chicago by the 2nd. Was assured we'd have a spot, arrived only to be told we had the wrong day she had no sites, based on the entry to campground we were forced to drive through park, saw multiple openings, , she referred us to Twin mills, quote "hates to refer people to them" Of course it doesn't accept same day reservations, So there we were sitting in Howe IN wondering what we were to do, Thank goodness a stranger helped us. Only thing that I wish to compliment her about is she said she would not charge us for the reservation.

We were passing through and called at 930- with two small kids needing a camp spot for one night, we were 15 min away and she turned us down saying no it’s too late and she can’t help us even though she had spots, then recommended twin something but said she doesn’t recommend them.. sure sounds like a good spot with kids then. We didn’t need her help at the spot or anything - we have a rooftop tent.. She then hung up on us. Maybe caught her on a bad night but came off pretty dismissive and rude

Carolyn was awesome. Made us feel like family. Nice quiet campground no hassle, she found us when she had a moment to settle up. Nothing better after a full day of driving just spending the night.

I don't give 4 stars easily, and 5 is rare indeed. I would give a 4.5 if I could. If you're looking for a high end resort with concierge, this ain't it. But it is a reasonably priced campground with great service, Caroline. There is a pool and baby pool, off putting foot rinse. The pool is older but clean. Nice newer playgrounds for the kids. Cute mini golf that is functional but older. Basketball court about same. Seems like the group is slowly replacing amenities in a financially secure method. Works for me. There is a stage with power that makes me guess they have live music sometimes. Awesome. Would definitely stay again if it works in our schedule.

Grandview Bend Campground is a hidden gem. It is an RV community (you buy your site) with temporary RV sites (45) for short-term stays. After you drive down the long driveway (Plantation Way), you will see the temporary sites directly on your left. They are in a nice tree-lined all-grass area across from the pool/playground. The sites back up to an Amish-owned field, and we watched them harvest their pumpkin patches with horse-drawn trailers. They would let their horses and cows out to graze, and they would eat right behind our RV. We stayed in October, and only a handful of other RVs were on the temp sites. It was tranquil and peaceful. They provide a fire pit ring at each site and have self-service wood to purchase (found at the end of temporary sites). All sites are back in, partial hookup (water and electric). They do have a dump station. Some of the lower-numbered sites are on the shorter side. This campground is 15 minutes from many stores and restaurants in Sturgis, MI. One evening, we ordered pizza for delivery and discovered Howe Restaurant at 5389 IN-9, Howe, IN. Their phone number is 260-562-3132. If their food is as good as their pizza, we should have visited in person, as it's only 5 minutes away. Everyone was friendly, and many people drove around in their golf carts. The pool was closed, but the bath and shower area in the back of the pool building were still open. The bath/shower rooms were big and kept clean. It's hard to comment on how busy this campground gets during the summer or holidays, but it could become very crowded. I recommend staying here, and we will stay here again. We camped at Grandview Bend Family Campground in a Fifth Wheel.

My parents were one of the first to purchase a lot back in the mid 70s. It's been awhile but I believe our lot number was 22 or 23. We had an end lot but I believe there was 1 more between us and the boat ramp to the river at the time. We were right across from the bath house and the pavilion. I love the river and it was great fishing until they took the railroad trestle down just up river. Then for some reason the fish stopped biting for the most part. It started dying down and fewer people were coming up during the summer. Someted we were the only ones there in the entire place. It looks like it has grown quite a bit. My parents passed and we sold the lot in the late 80s or early 90s not sure when. It is a nice place and used to be hopping with music and parties ect. It's worth checking out.

Nice park with mostly permanent sites. They are very reasonably priced and give a veterans discount. Sites are electric (50 & 30 amp) with water and can accommodate the larger rig. Weekender/ overnight sites back up to a fenced off field and most have large shade trees to the back (ie easy to back into the lot). Nice lots that are grass covered and have nice picnic table and several also have a taller work table provided. Park has a nice swimming pool area, putt putt golf, great playground, tennis court and basketball court. Restrooms are really clean. Office staff was very nice and helpful. Only change I would suggest is you need a larger "office" sign and directions for the newbies entering the park for the first time. We are enjoying our stay and will definitely be coming back.

Awesome host and very clean facilities. Nice place to walk around and enjoy yourself. Peaceful and very recharging. Veterans definitely cannot go wrong for the price. Definitely would recommend. They have a pool and they have a snack bar and they have putt putt and volleyball in the sand pit and a huge playground. Very well-kept.
