Atwood Lake Campground
Overview
Atwood Lake Campground offers a tranquil escape on the shores of a private lake in Northern Indiana. Unlike busy commercial resorts, this park maintains a family-oriented atmosphere where the pace of life slows down significantly. With a mix of seasonal residents and transit sites, it serves as a community-centered destination for those looking to reconnect with nature and enjoy the simple pleasures of lakeside living and evening campfires. It is a well-maintained property that emphasizes peace and quiet.
Location & Surroundings
Situated in Wolcottville, the park is nestled within the heart of scenic Indiana Amish Country. The surrounding landscape is characterized by rolling farmlands, quiet backroads, and local produce stands. The centerpiece of the property is Atwood Lake, a spring-fed body of water known for its clarity and calm. Because the lake prohibits gas-powered motors, the environment remains remarkably quiet, making it a sanctuary for local wildlife and a restful home base for travelers.
Amenities & Park Features
The campground provides essential comforts including full-hookup sites and clean, modern bathhouse facilities. Water enthusiasts will appreciate the sandy swimming beach and the opportunity to rent kayaks or rowboats from the park office for a day on the water. For those who enjoy land-based activities, the park features recreational courts for basketball and volleyball, along with a playground for children. The onsite camp store ensures travelers have access to ice, wood, and basic supplies during their stay.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Travelers are perfectly positioned to explore the unique culture of nearby Shipshewana, famous for its massive flea market and authentic Amish furniture shops. Nature lovers can visit the Pigeon River Fish and Wildlife Area for birdwatching and scenic hiking trails through diverse habitats. For a bit of local history, the Mid-America Windmill Museum is just a short drive away, offering a fascinating look at the region's agricultural heritage through its collection of historic restored windmills.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination is ideal for families and retirees who prefer a quiet, low-key environment over high-energy commercial resort settings. It is a haven for paddling enthusiasts looking to explore calm waters without the disruption of motorized boats. If you value a "no-wake" atmosphere where the primary sounds are the birds and the water, this campground will feel like a perfect match for your relaxing RV travel style and appreciation for nature.

Very nice campground, lots of family friendly activities!

**update, new management has really improved the place. Lots of activities, fixed up facilities, and still great campers! Poor maintenance and management has drug the place down over the years. Facilities in shambles and the bare minimum done by owner. Prices keep going up and amenities keep disappearing. Campers are great friendly folks and it is right off a lake which is nice. But that is bout as far as the good goes.

Delivered a camper here for Midwest Camper Rental Co. Nice campground. Well kept and very inviting.

Workers here are extremely rude. Especially the ladies up front. Very unprofessional and act like they are better than everyone. This is a campground, get a grip. It’s a nice place to enjoy a weekend if you’re able to avoid the management. Would be much better if they weren’t so entitled and think that they get to make every deciding factor. Terrible service.

I love atwood campground been going there for 45 yrs. But unfortunately it goes down hill ever year. Last year was an exception.

Good location if you're into fishing. Facilities could be better but not bad. The rate increase for primitive camping is a bit much. The price jumped from $12 to $30 per night for bare primitive. I could handle all that. What I can't handle is one of the managers. I believe her name is Christie. She got rude with me about driving 15mph on the 10mph speed limit drive up to the office. I could understand if i were driving that fast past the gate. There are usually a fair amount of people walking around, but before you get to the gate, there's no one. I can't understand her level.of belligerence. The other ladies running the place are nice but I will not be back.

We've traditionally stayed at the parent campground "Indian Springs" but it's become more of a trailer park than campground. We gave these guys a shot on a holiday weekend and they had a sweet spot by the lake. It was a very pleasant experience and the atmosphere was clean and well managed. Cannot wait to get back there this season. Thanks!

The two ladies running the place were quite rude. We had our camp packed up and out of the sight by 12 then went to the beach. They both came to tell us we needed the leave. When they say checkout is noon they mean you have to leave the property. I would not recommend staying here.

The Good: Very pretty area. Decent size beach. Nice size lots. Quiet. Friendly seasonal campers who ensure activities are scheduled for the campground (kids activities, bingo, golf cart poker runs, corn hole tournaments). The Not so Good: Inconsistent office hours. You don't always receive a call back. The shower houses are in need of major updating and repair and are not always stocked well. The roads are in desperate need of maintenance. Very large ruts (really tough on cars/RVs) and lots of standing water. If the owner would put money into keeping the the shower houses and roads in good shape and hire staff to ensure consistent office hours and consisten answers, I would give this campground a 5/5 vs. the 2/5.

I've been staying at Atwood lake for a month now and I really like it it's peaceful quiet you can hear all the birds and crickets all around you and mostly have a lot of shade at all the campsites except when you get closer to the lake you're more out in the sun the lake is nice I have not been on it yet or in it I am waiting for a pontoon to purchase for next season but if anybody that is senior citizens with grandchildren or veterans with grandchildren that want a quiet place this is the place to come to you will definitely enjoy yourselves relax sit by a nice campfire roast marshmallows or hot dogs or whatever even eat a nice dinner next to the fire but like I say at woodlake is one awesome place to be I enjoy myself there with my dogs have met a lot of people as well and there is definitely a lot of veterans at this place lot of senior citizens as well and we enjoy our relaxation when you're sitting by a fire with your family so if you want to come to a place at woodlake should be your first stop thank you and God bless
