This family-owned destination in Marion offers a mix of seasonal and overnight sites, making it a staple for those seeking a peaceful retreat. Whether you are arriving in a large motorhome or a small travel trailer, the park emphasizes a community-oriented atmosphere where the natural landscape of Grant County takes center stage for every visitor.
Location & Surroundings
Situated just a short drive from the city center of Marion, the park is nestled within the rolling farmlands of Central Indiana. The location offers a quiet buffer from the noise of the interstate while remaining easily accessible for travelers. The surrounding area is characterized by lush greenery and proximity to the Mississinewa River valley, providing a serene backdrop for morning walks or evening campfire sessions under the vast, unobstructed Indiana sky.

For active recreation, guests often enjoy the basketball and volleyball courts or the playground area designed for younger campers.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Exploring the local area reveals a rich cultural history, most notably the nearby town of Fairmount, home to the James Dean Gallery. Nature enthusiasts often visit Matter Park, a local treasure featuring beautiful gardens and walking trails along the river. For those who enjoy water sports beyond the resort lake, the Mississinewa Lake and Reservoir are a short drive away, offering boating and hiking trails that showcase the regional wildlife and local flora.
Who This Park Is Best For

Nice campground with pool. There is a private lake there.
Douglas Henry
Im still here enjoying what it has to offer! So far we've had fun. Has a clean pool, restroom facilities are probably the cleanest I've experienced. Has a big pond, looks more like a lake. But I recommend camping here if you want a good wholesome place to camp.

Had to find a place to stay with the RV for a family reunion in a nearby city. This place is amazing! Bathrooms and showers are clean, their is a laundry room as well, but I didn't personally need to use it. Swimming pool goes from 1feet up to 5 feet so it's perfect for the kids! Private lake so no fishing license required! Mini golf ⛳ Grounds are well kept, looks like they did a ton of clean up reguarding other reviews mentioning trees falling, it's all cleaned up so no worries. Tons of space to turn around the RV on corners. Other campers were polite, waved hi to us as they strolled through on their golf carts or out for a morning walk. Employees were amazing and very accommodating to our needs. Store sells ice, some RV parts, pool toys, ice cream treats, snacks, candy, drinks, and you can get a wheel barrow of wood for $15! My entire family had an amazing time, thank you for accommodating us! The King Family

Very nice quiet camp ground. The campers were very friendly.

I was invited here by a coworker! Everyone was very friendly. The owners and all campers! I brought my mom once, I brought my friend at my new job and her kiddos, they had a great first time camping experience. My sons and I came and used tent camping. Some campers helped us get it started as it was our first time. We came back again and when I think about camping this has always been my first thought! It was years I been since my tent is not working. I am working on getting a new one and coming back again! We had a nice time walking the trails, swimming, and just waving at all our new fellow friendly camper friends too! We had a great time! I love this place because it brought good family and friendship memories! I should have thought to post years before now but here I am!

We caught a LOT of fish! The pool was SUPER clean! The employees were very friendly. We had a GREAT time! We will be back next summer! The only suggestion I have is to make the camping spots for the tents marked more clearly. We had a hard time figuring out the right spot where we were supposed to set up our tent.

Ok if all you need is a place to sleep. A lot of full time sites that are well maintained. Their putt putt golf was not maintained. The way you could tell where the hole was by the grass growing out. Not a lot of full hook ups and the dumper didn't work on Monday or Tuesday. They use a site on a hill to let people dump. Not super convenient. The lake is nice with geese and swans.

The staff have been very pleasant and accommodating. A camping neighbor (or staff?) adjusted our awning and put our chairs and firewood under it prior to an unexpected rainstorm while we were away. They have a free game room with ping pong and billiards ( for teens and adults) and a free putt putt course and free putter and ball rental. There is basketball and a medium sized swimming pool. Men's room could use better lighting. Too bad a lot of trees had to be cut down due to the emerald ash borer so many of their campsites are pretty well out in the open and not overly large either. However it is quiet and the lake is pretty even without a beach. Nice relaxed vibe this place. Affordable laundry on site but old school machines and only cold water which apparently is soft if you happen to hit the right time of month but not if the salt had run out. IDK the sign explains it! Someone even paid to dry our clothes and then folded them when we forgot about them! Pool closes at 8 pm on weekend summer nights (why?) But they were flexible with closing time when a lot of people were still swimming. $27/night for water and 30 amp electric. Recommended!
