We are towards the end of our 2.5 month cross country trip, we stayed at Indian Lakes the last 2 weeks of October. I would like to start by saying I love that fact there is a security gate at entrance but, charging our guest $10 to come visit us is ridiculous! Oh, and if you need to receive a package they charge $5 per package to receive it 🤷🏼‍♀️ Laundry room and Restrooms need regular cleaning service. Cabins could use pressure washing on the outside. Pot holes on roads. Spots are level with gravel. We stayed on campsite #5028 which is in the circle behind the pool by the lake. The mature trees of all the fall colors is absolutely breathtaking!! We noticed there are concrete sites possibly for handicap. Sand Volleyball, Beach, Pool, Children’s Playground, picnic table & fire pits at each site.

We stayed at this park for two weeks. The site was a back in and we had to put a block under the front wheels but overall a good FHU site. The park itself is huge with a lot of annuals and I enjoyed my daily walks to the lake.

A tad disappointed in the way they assign slots to various groups, but I understand the concept. It's basically give the crappie (sorry, less desirable) spaces to the lowest paying and shortest term. However, with so many open spots late in the season, why not enhance your visitors experience and promote your campground. Yes, outside club members pay less, but we also have big dues at our home resort plus the club dues every year. So, to be isolated to the less desirable space does not promote the campground. I'm a former Thousand Trail's member and see it from both sides. But campgrounds should be in the "experience" business more than the "quick buck" business. Travelers like ourselves are looking for new home spaces at every stop. Our accommodations are the first impression of a campground. And with the 100+ sites we see a year, first impressions dictate where our money goes in a lot of cases. So, great location, slightly above reasonable prices (for a seasonal home), pretty average customer service for Thousand Trail's (always one-star above out group's average), but too short term vision on outside club accommodations. Solid Four-Star resort/destination. I would rate this resort just below Woodhaven Lakes in destination spots for short to medium vacation.

Well, this isn't a year round campground. Just been informed all annual cards will be deactivated 11/1/25 even though we have a contract until 5/31/25. If we choose to check on our camper in the "off season" we must schedule an appointment during regular business hours and receive an escort to our property.

Simply beautiful, and large, campground! Nice, big restrooms and showers. Pay Range app for laundry. Humongous swimming pool, and park area. Boat ramp, and 9 very challenging holes for golf! Incredible area for shopping, repairs, and prescriptions! The caretakers here are a blessing, treat them well! They deserve it!

No loyalty to annual site holders! We had an annual site here for 4 years. This past month we lost our campsite due to not being able to get in touch with the office to pay for our site. We had emailed and stated we were planning to stay for another season. I called multiple times a day for a week and left multiple messages. The office NEVER answers the phone or calls back. Like other reviews have stated the campground has gone down hill in the past couple of years. The roads in the campground were full of pot holes. The two pools on the property were either broke or overcrowded. The cabins are in bad shape. Kids got injured because they allowed off road vehicles on the roads where kids ride bikes. The list could go on! We were willing to give the new management a chance and sign for one more season. This lack of communication and loyalty does not give me any confidence that the new management is going to improve the condition and overall management of this campground.

As a teenager, my parents had a year round spot at this campground. We'd spend every weekend, a few weeks out of the summer & and occasional winter weekend here. I had my own small camper for me & a friend (or that my sister & her family commandeered when they came) to stay in on the side of my parents larger RV. While I'm currently 51 & this was when I was around 14/15, I don't know much about pricing. I just know it was an amazing place to grow up for kids or teenagers. I even had my own small golf cart that was constantly needed a charge. We weren't wealthy or even well off so, I'd think it was reasonable. Now that I'm older, I'm looking into getting my own membership. I just hate that I waited until my kids were grown. My parents had their friends there & i made my own friends. I just can't say enough great things about this place. Although we knew plenty of older people that stayed there on the weekends, there were also a lot of people with kids. There was always something fun going on from bingo to euchre tournaments to costume parties & dances. Just a wonderful, wonderful place & I have nothing but fond memories of there.

I had purchased a membership to get an appointment I came in for my appointment. I was shown lots. I had given them my information for my background checks and they were supposed to have someone call me back in the next couple days and I have not received a call back in about three weeks. I’ve made several phone calls and left messages so I had to cancel my membership and I will never camp here.. they also told me that they don’t open until May 1 and I would have to have the 4300 paid by May 1 which I had to pay for the season but I guess they’re not interested in finding me a lot, I know my background check came out just fine because I had a background check done at another location and they got back to me immediately the same day. So I would never refer Thousand Trails to anyone.

This campground used to be so nice. At this point the potholes are so bad they are impossible to avoid, they have stopped opening one of the two pools, almost all the bathrooms are closed, playground equipment has been broken all summer and there is zero communication from management. No one answers the phone, emails are sometimes answered but not always. If water or electric will be scheduled to be shut off no emails or notifications are sent out, the only way to get any info is via rumor mill on the various camper facebook pages. There is no official information ever sent out by management. It’s really sad because it used to be amazing here, but a private equity firm purchased it and seems to be trying to make a short term profit as fast as possible by neglecting maintenance and not hiring adequate staff.

We have had a permanent site there for the past four years. It was a lovely campground when we first moved in. Over the past couple of years , it seems that Maintenance of the campground has went down hill. The roads are falling apart, One of the pools has been out of commission since last summer. The other pool is now out of commission and not open. The playground equipment is falling apart and not safe for the children to play on it. They have it boarded up. I know things happen and equipment will break and need repairs. Though the lack of repairs is what's concerning. The closing of bathhouses has caused many concerns. During a very tumultuous tornado season, this was a very scary situation as those bathhouses are the only safe place to shelter. Thankfully a member of staff stays at camp and was able to open them up in an emergency. However, having only 2 bath houses open for the entire campground is quite ridiculous. We've been told that the other bathhouses should be open on the weekends and recently 2 other houses have been locked during the weekends. As you know, we have over 900 sites...with access to 2 bathrooms.THis is not acceptable. I urge you to take a look at the management at this park. We cannot get anyone to answer phones, it sometimes takes multiple times to get emails answered ( getting charged late fees because you can't pay your bill). There are A LOT of unhappy people at this park, and if nothing changes i believe there will be a lot of members leaving. It's also been suggested that perhaps that's the point all along because membership gets a bonus for signing new members, not caring about the ones you already have. True or not, I believe your amount of people discontinuing their leases and membership is going to be significant this year, and it's due to lack of amenities and no communication or negative communication from management. We all enjoy coming here and love the campground friends we have made. But with it falling apart and no maintenance being done to fix anything its becoming quite concerning. The yearly fees for the lot rent continues to go up every year, but the maintenance continues to go downward. We have lost quite a few amenities that we are paying for.

The address is correct but this map display wrong location. Search 'Batesville KOA' for TT Indian Lake RV Park.

We stayed at Indian Lakes as part of the Thousand Trails club. We were there for 7 days/nights and for the most part found it acceptable considering it’s free on the TT program. We couldn’t find any sewer spots and our spot with water and 50amp was muddy and pretty uneven but we made it work. Our biggest issue was treatment by staff. When we checked in at the front gate the women working there were really nice. On a couple of occasions we interacted with Stacy in the business office, contemplating a membership upgrade. She was rude beyond compare. Her personality was awful and her communication skills were just as bad. My wife was afraid to go talk to her because she presented a horrible attitude. She appeared to hate being bothered and it showed. Aside from her, everyone was nice, knowledgeable and helpful. We likely won’t go back because we prefer less crowded parks unless we pass through and just need a place to quickly rest.
