Overview
Cedar Lake Ministries RV Park offers a unique blend of spiritual retreat and lakeside relaxation in Northwest Indiana. Situated on a beautiful 80-acre campus along the eastern shore of Cedar Lake, this park provides a peaceful environment for travelers looking to reconnect with nature and community. As part of a larger Christian retreat center, the park maintains a quiet, family-friendly atmosphere that emphasizes rest and rejuvenation. Whether you are passing through or staying for a season, the grounds provide a serene lakeside setting that feels worlds away from the hustle of daily life.
Location & Surroundings
The park is located in the heart of Cedar Lake, IN, just a short drive from the Illinois border and the greater Chicago metropolitan area. It sits directly on the shores of a 794-acre spring-fed lake, offering beautiful sunset views and immediate access to the water. The surrounding area features a mix of quiet residential neighborhoods and charming local businesses, providing a sense of small-town comfort. Its proximity to Route 41 makes it an easily accessible stop for those traveling through the Midwest while still offering a secluded escape from heavy traffic noise.

Guests can enjoy a range of functional and recreational amenities designed for comfort and convenience. The park features full-hookup sites with both 30 and 50-amp electrical service to accommodate a wide variety of RV rigs. Visitors have exclusive access to a private beach area, which is perfect for swimming during the summer months, as well as a boat launch for those bringing their own watercraft. On-site facilities are well-maintained and include clean restrooms, modern shower houses, and laundry equipment. Each site is equipped with a picnic table and a fire ring for traditional evening campfires.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Beyond the ministry grounds, the town of Cedar Lake offers several local dining options and seasonal community events. Nature lovers can explore the nearby Lemon Lake County Park, which is known for its extensive hiking trails and world-class disc golf courses.

Additionally, the historic downtown area of Crown Point provides unique shopping experiences and local historical architecture just a few miles to the north.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is ideal for families and travelers who appreciate a faith-based environment and a slower, more intentional pace of life.

Very peaceful and welcoming environment. The neighbors here are all very friendly and kind. Grocery store is right up the street as well as a hardware store for and diy projects, and plenty of spots to dining out. Lots to do in the area from the lake. Great place to come back to for the summer
Mark Ostroot
RV camping and the location is excellent. Near the lake in a quiet and peaceful little retreat area. Restrictions include a non-smoking / non-drinking campsite. Great little spot in NW Indiana to enjoy the region.

We stayed here out of location convenience. Be aware that there is no dump station. Also the well water smells HORRIBLE . I’m unsure how often (or if) the water is treated. This is suppose to be a “Christian Camp”. However, the camp host is one of the rudest people I’ve ever met. Literally, rolling on his cart yelling at everyone. Threatened to kick out family out for barely going over the 5 mile an hour speed limit. I’ve heard several others complain about his demeanor. Very Un-Christ like. Do yourself a favor and look for a better campground, if you can.

Very unfriendly! We backed into our spot and the manager came over and yelled dogs on a leash. Our dogs were walking from the truck to the trailer. He sat and watched us almost our whole stay. camplot was unlevel. 20 Amp breaker on a 30 amp plug. Picnic table unsteady to sit on. Only good part was shower house was nice and clean. Only reason I gave a star.

Tammy Edwards
Loved it! We went camping, sailing, kayaking, bike riding, and played pickle ball and corn hole. The place was beautiful and everyone was so friendly. The rates were perfect. We will be back!

We have stayed here 3 times now. Been good each time. My only complaint is temp set at 60 in the bathrooms makes for cold showers and the need for a ton of paper signs telling people what not to do.
Ricardo Garcia

William Parris
Clean shower house. Only dump station is 15 dollars on site. Plan ahead, however it also says that on the website however. Nice camping, only draw back is the train that goes by at all hours of the night. You get used to it though. Nice place to stay out of the city

Great place to camp. The camp hosts are very polite and check on you to make sure everything is ok. Restrooms and showers are kept clean.
