Mark & Denise are super great camp host. We enjoy staying there & have met a lot of great people during our stay there. Glad they got 50/30/110 service in all the sites again. Thanks again for everything guy’s.

People were very friendly and helpful. Our 4 & 6 year old went fishing for three 1st time and it was perfect because you can see the fish and they will jump on anything you put in the water. Bathrooms were clean. The only downside for me were the bugs, but that's camping. Check In is at 12pm and check out is at 11am.

Nice camp. Big pull through spaces. The pool closed early today (a holiday) but looks great. The camp host came over to answer any questions that we might have. Great rates too.

We want to give a huge shout out to the Dave and his wife for supporting us through our pcs move. We not only camped here many times while we were stationed at camp atterbury but we also got to stay an extended stay for our military move. This camp grounds are beautiful, quite and clean. The amenities are really nice. To do laundry while you're full time RV'ers is a must. Thank you so much!!! ~ from your favorite campers 31

Nice campground on base. Pull through sites are large and well spaced with about 90'×12' gravel pads and 45x20' patio areas. Sewer connection is pretty close to the back end of the site. Each site has picnic table and fire ring. Few small trees so not much shade but there are a couple of pavilions. Laundry facility with ample machines and a day room with TV and a few books and nice playground for younger kids. Bath houses were clean and conveniently placed. Would be nice if you didn't have to have a key for the bath houses and laundry as it seems like everyone needs it at the same time. Also has a nice pond full of large bluegill and shell crackers so bring a fly rod for fun. Near the all hands club and base pool as well though everything was closed for Memorial Day weekend. Camp host set up ladder golf and corn hole and had a large fire at the group fire pit. Great benefit for anyone with access.
