First: the wonderful people who operate this campground are friendly and caring. I enjoyed my interactions with them start to finish. Second: the facilities were clean and well taken care of.

We’re enjoying this campground. It’s so comfortable, charming, entertainingly unique from our campground experiences. Nice Staff. Terry is joyful and we enjoyed his tour and his craftsmanship. Newbies to fishing, 3 bass the first evening on the lake. And we were fishing for bluegill. The Campstore is well supplied, and there’s a story line there. This is a simple, budget friendly, safe place minutes from the market in Rockville as well as all of the activities available on Sugar Creek. Today, a kayak ride, or visiting a syrup camp and a covered bridges. We’re not sure yet. But the coffee is good this morning. We’re so blessed. And happy. We would come here again. Likely, is a better word.

Seems like a great location, parke county is amazing! The owner of this campground was rude and disrespectful. He tried to bully a couple about their dogs, called the sheriff and the sheriff settled it for the couple. The owner was wrong, but didn't apologize.

Love this camp ground. Bathrooms are very clean. Owners are amazing. Staff is always amazing. We’ve brought our youth group/mens group every year for the last 7 years and wouldn’t pick any other location. Can’t wait to be with you all in September! Pastor Jimmy / The Crossing Church.
