This place is perfect for families. We picked a spot for camping with electric hook-up so at night we had the l.e.d. lights on. This place has a pool for the kids and a small theater when they have outdoor movies and live shows. You could rent small kayaks and canoes to spend a quiet time on the lake. The store has items you could buy without leaving the park, everything was amazing. We are planning the next weekend to come back here and spend time with family again.

This is a great campground with lots to do. Our only problem was that we had a site by the canal and everyone walked through our site to go fishing or otherwise. It was kinda strange sitting on our lot with tons of people walking through our lot all day and into the evening. Our dog was on high alert the whole time because of all the people approaching constantly. So if you go here dont camp by the canal if you want to enjoy your site with your family. They do offer lots of activities for kids and families. We will go there again but just choose a different site.

We went back to Indian Lake. Unfortunately, we had rain all weekend and 100's temps. We used our time by going out when it was not raining. We still loved the time we had at the park.

We camped at this park for the first time and loved it! The grounds are beautiful and there is so much to do. We always stay at state parks and this is now in our top 5. It's very family and pet friendly. The staff and camper hosts were very nice as well.
