Price reflects 50 amp electric and water pull-thru site. They offer a variety of sites from FHU to tents. Everything was clean, especially the bathrooms and showers, and park was well-maintained and attractive. Sites are gravel and grass and pretty level. Plenty of open grass areas. Nice Amish Frozen Custard stand on site. Staff was friendly and accommodating. The only ding was traffic noise. Campground is on the corner of Hwy 120 and 5 and there is lots of truck traffic starting very early in am. Trucks are also not prohibited from using engine brakes so it was loud. Decent ‘free’ wi-fi but we used our own. No boosters allowed.

The campground was clean and quiet. The first few days we had full hookups at site 19. We decided to stay longer but we had to move to partial hookups in site 42. The price for partial hookups was a little less. I believe it was about $34. The staff worked with us and was very friendly. The ice cream shop there was awesome! The staff does a great job of keeping the grass cut and it looks well taken care of. We would stay there anytime.

We attended a BB rally the first week of June. The owner Sam and his wife Uma were very gracious hosts. The campground is impeccably taken care of. There are large expanses of grass to walk your dog with convenient receptacles for used doggie bags. We were in site 52, a pull through on the corner and had a very large site. Trees were well trimmed (a pet peeve of mine) and the interior roads, though gravel were absent of pot holes. Lots to do in Shipshewana, and plenty of RV surplus stores in the area. Not a far walk to some great ice cream and frozen custard. Only drawback is the occasional noisy vehicle.

Host on duty at check in was not at all friendly; seemed as if I was disturbing him checking in. Nothing Amish about it or him.
He marked a campground map to show me where the electric and water would be on my site. There was no power pedestal on that pad, had to stretch my cord under the RV and over to the next site that was unoccupied to plug in.
My wife went to check again and he responded that he had already told me. He couldn't be bothered to get up and walk a hundred feet to see what the confusion was and realize he was wrong.
The shower room was unheated and too cold to use on a sub 60 degree evening.
Campground located at busy intersection with constant traffic including all night. Even earplugs could not cut the noise.
COE campground the night before and after was much better for 1/4th the cost.

We really enjoyed our one night stay. Site 51 is a pull-though with easy access. There are lots of shaded sites (ours had partial shade), cute cabins, and a hitching station for horse-drawn buggies, which are actively used. There's a frozen custard stand/kiosk near one of the entrances that's open from noon until 9 pm(!). The office staff is friendly and helpful, offering tips on where to go and general information about the area. We were a bit concerned about the fairly busy road not far off, but it gets quite quiet at night. Lots of horse-drawn buggies and small carriages passing by, so much so we became very accustomed to the clip-clop of trotting horses. There's a very large flea market a few miles away, we spent a few hours there the next morning and even found some useful hardware for our RV! It's not far from Elkhart. We'd gladly stay again.

Sam and Uma are wonderful hosts and this is one of our most favorite parks. We have stayed here over the past few years and the park is consistently well kept. Convenient location to shopping in Shipshewana, RV surplus stores and a short drive to Elkhart for a visit to the RV Museum.
Exceptionally helpful and friendly staff, lots of shaded sites, clean restrooms and a washer/dryer is a welcome addition. The on-site frozen custard stand can be very dangerous to your waistline with flavors changing weekly.

This was the last night of our 3 month trip and wanted a full hookup campground to empty / flush the tanks before heading home. It is a great place to sit down while exploring the area. Was able to make the reservation on-line. The site was assigned at check-in. The campground is on a small slant so expect to level a bit. The back-in was gravel with grass all around. The water spigot and dump were on the driver side with the electrical post on the passenger side. Our electric cord is 30' long so no problem reaching the post. Lots of mature trees provide plenty of shade. The water spigot was very low to the ground. With my pressure reducer and Y valve, the in-line water filter had to lay on the ground.
The office has a small store. The ice cream store was open although we did not partake. The grounds are well kept and it was very quiet.

We stayed here for 2 nights to visit the Grand Design RV factory. The location was good for that and it was also nice to see Amish country. I really enjoyed seeing the Amish drive up in their horse & buggies to get ice cream. I would like to go back there again someday to learn more about their culture. Cell coverage was usable but not great. Verizon: 8.52 dl/1.10 ul; AT&T 2.6 dl/2.24 ul.

We stayed here over Labor Day weekend. Close to Shipshewana and all the shopping. Site 38 was decent. Needed about 4 inches of blocks on passenger side which made the last step a big one. Clean bathrooms with a washer and dryer available to use.

This is our second stay here and we like it. Our pull-through, full hook-up site was almost level and quite large. The wifi is inconsistent, but works sometimes for web browsing. The laundry consists of one washer and dryer - $4 to wash and $2.50 to dry. Quite steep but worked fine. The campground has nice mature trees, nice grass, and a great icecream/frozen custard place on the corner.
