Great place to stay. Lots of activities and secure grounds. A little more gravel at overnight pull throughs would be nice. We had some rain and mud was right outside our door. Of course it was tracked inside.

This place has a lot of amenities, including a pool, mini golf, horseshoes, and more. The showers are spacious and clean, and have good water pressure. The campground is not at fault, but there were a lot of gnats. I guess that is part of camping in Indiana in the summer.

I sent them an email per their website at 1pm on a Tuesday. Didn't get a return email for 24 hours. They confirmed space and asked me to call. I called at 1pm on Tuesday and got an answering machine. I left a message and clearly gave my return phone number twice. No return call. I called again on Thursday... at 2pm...same message machine. Left another message. Called again and told they are booked solid. I'm sure the park is nice since it's booked solid. Their customer service is horrible. No online reservations, dont waste your time. They didn't want my money for a 4 day stay.
