Brenda, Candy, and the crew were amazing. We stayed almost 2 weeks and had a very restful stay. The facilities were always very clean and everyone was always so kind and welcoming. The one thing I had a small issue with was the wifi, not so good but that didn't spoil our stay since we had our hotspots and mobile data with T-Mobile. Me and my wife will def stay again when we come back through!

Johnny Appleseed Campground was a fun little jewel we utilized for a weekend trip to Fort Wayne. We were in town for one of our kids sports tournaments. We came away impressed and it was perfect for our needs. We booked way in advance and we were there the first weekend the park was open for the year and it was 2/3 full with other campers. It rained most of the weekend we were there, so we didn't get to do any of the fun outdoor stuff that goes along with RV camping. I wouldn't really call JAC a destination camp, other than the camp, there isn't much to do in the camp ground itself like swim or playgrounds, but there are trails and kid friendly things close by. Fort Wayne also has a lot to offer if you hit the zoo and children's science museum. If you fished, you are right across the street from the St. Joseph River. The camp is right next to the Fort Wayne Coliseum and convention center. This park would be an excellent and affordable option if you were passing through the area and needed a clean and tidy park to overnight. The bathrooms fall into the spectacular category for an RV park. They are a little walk, but a welcome surprise at how clean and modern they were. The camp hosts that were there when we stayed were excellent and very helpful.

2024 camped Johnny Appleseed Park for the second time. Again time well spent. Easy access to Ft Wayne bicycle pathetic. We enjoyed many of Ft Wayne restaurants. Very modern showers. Short walk on a hot day.

Campground near the heart of Ft Wayne. Park-like setting with water and electricity. We stay here anytime we pass through. Good shaded gravel sites throughout but I'd avoid those right along the West tree line during wet weather. Can get a little muddy. The staff are great and the restrooms are large with plenty of pressure. Very tranquil and nice place to see a large variety of very tall old trees.

I truly didn't know Johnny Appleseed was a real person until now. Some really interesting history, and the grave is very nice. Even had an apple next to it! Would reccomend if you are in the area.
