We had a great time with our young grandchildren at the “touch a truck” event. They have a lot of great space at this park.

Our family rents the scout building for our family reunion every year. What a cool little place. There's room for every one of us and there's a whole bunch! There's parking. There's bathroom inside the flushing working toilets and sinks to wash your hands. There's electricity inside with folding tables and chairs galore. The spot is secluded and wooded with plenty of flat spaces for kids to play where they can watched. You just supposed to leave the place the way you found it. Very cool. Very worth it!

We went for a child's party and had the trains, Indiana Live Steamers, there for rides. It was so much fun! Shelter house was great. Restroom nearby.

Its a nice quiet place. The staff is friendly and easy to work with. The people I've met also seem very friendly and laid back. The showers and bathrooms are always clean. The disc golf course across the street is a lot of fun and theres also trails if you like to hike. Would recommend camping here to anyone.

This was our 3rd season here. We love that ots close to home. They have clean bathrooms and a decent playground for the kids. Not a lot to do but a good place to relax.
