We took I-80 all the way to near Shipshewana where the roads took us about 7 miles into the campground (CG). Check-in was quick and easy because we had paid ahead online. We proceeded to pull through site 37 with FHUs. The utilities were in the center, which made it nice to dump our two black tanks in order to go to the Brinkley Service Center the next morning. Water pressure was good at about 50 psi. It was nice that the utilities were on the center of the pad. We got 4 bars on Verizon. If we wanted to put out satellite, we could have as there are not many trees in the central area to block the signal. We tried to sign into the free Wifi with no luck. The website wanted us to sign up for paid internet, which we did not do. The sites in the CG are for the most part very close together. We were here overnight to take our rig into Goshen for warranty work. Coming from the West, stay on I-80 to IN-13 (exit 107) as it makes for an easier route than on the local roads versus following your GPS or Waze which may have you exit off in Elkhart. Check out the great selections at Yoder's Meat & Cheese just down the road. This CG was okay for an overnighter or short stay.

First stay here, overall nice campground, gravel space with grass on both sides, fire pit and table. The spaces are a bit on the narrow side. Check in was pretty easy like others have said the guy behind the counter a bit grumpy like he really didn't want to be there. Campground WI Fi is not free. There are lots of places to walk your pups and the grounds are very well kept. Bathrooms and showers clean but dated. We would stay here again when in the area

I took camper to dealer for repairs next day, was called and told repairs would be more extensive and wouldn't be completed for possibly 2 weeks, as soon as I knew I called campground and was told there would be no refund for second night which was not used.
According to conformation email that there would be a $25 service fee for cancelation within 10 days which they keep almost double that amount. First and last time I will use this campground. To all be careful.

THe site mix up was not 100% the campgrounds fault- I purchased a new camper in May and camper here in June and then bought a different one in august and camped here in September. I explained to them I had a new camper which was 35ft 50amp and NOT the 28ft 30amp so please do not use my previous info. Somehow I was moved from site 1 to site 53 which would not work so I was relocated to site E7 a full hook up 30amp so I just used a reducer but either way it worked out.
This is a great campground with beautiful views and lovely sights and sounds. It is next to an active farm so the smells and flies may bother some, I grew up on a dairy farm so it doesn’t matter to me. My only issue was the fire pit, it was gone so they brought us a car rim and wouldn’t let us use our solo stove/ not the end of the world just an odd rule.0

This was our very first trip in our RV/Toy Hauler and I can say it went quite well. I called in the reservation instead of doing it on line because I had some questions. I wanted to know if they offered any discounts such as Good Sam, AAA or AARP but no go. I was considering to bring a motorcycle and noticed that there was a fee if I brought an extra vehicle so I asked about that. On line it said $3/day per vehicle for visitors during the day and $7/day if the vehicle would be overnight. I was told it would only be $3 for my whole stay (2days). Yeah, I get it but to me this seemed a stretch. I got the impression they felt uncomfortable telling me of the extra charge but as it turned out I didn't bring the bike because we had too much to do in a short period of time anyway.
As for the campground I can honestly say it was quite nice. Site was crushed stone with grass and a few tree around us. Bathhouse was clean and well kept and the staff in the office was very friendly and helpful. It was late in the season but they didn't have many open sites and even so it was a very quiet location. Shipshewana was just a mile or so up the street and if you had the energy you could walk it, just watch out for the buggies. Campground wifi signal was very strong but didn't work great. You would probably be better off just using cellular. All in all it is a very nice campground and we are looking to go back sometime soon.

We stayed in early September 2018. We did not have a reservation but they had a spot for us and we were surprised how full it was considering we were there mid-week. Mostly pull-thrus with some back-ins and tent space in the back.
Check in was easy and it's in a convenient location on S. State Rd 5- about a mile to town that has lots of shopping and restaurants. Quiet, clean and level sites with grass between them and picnic table. Sites were spacious and can accommodate the big rigs. Staff cruising around on golf carts constantly. We had full hookups. Everything worked fine. Laundry and bathhouses were clean. They offer a coin-op RV wash bay.
Their location is not walking distance to town, or really even to the flea market. Both would be a good walk on the highway shoulder, keeping in mind the Amish buggies use the highway shoulder. If you are there for the flea market, you may want to stay at the campground adjacent to the flea market. That truly is walking distance. We rode to the flea market the morning we left. It's huge and they offer lots of local crafts, as well as antiques and food items. Lots of Amish made stuff.
One odd thing that I had never experienced. Check out time is noon, and we were going to push off about that time. While we were outside preparing to leave, I received a voicemail on my cell phone at 11:30 from the office, telling me that it's 11:30 and check out is noon. Clearly, we were preparing to leave. Just odd.

This was our first trip out with our new truck and RV. The location was selected by another couple we became friends with at an RV rally last year before we bought our RV.
The campground is easy to access and located in the heart of Shipshewana, IN. There are a number of things to do nearby, including a large flea market within walking distance every Tuesday & Wednesday.
We found several good places to eat and local Amish stores for shopping, as well.
The park itself was well kept. The Workkamper (Bill) is a great guy. Very helpful and stops by to chat on a regular basis......if you are sitting out. The campground will supply a portable fire pit, if you'd like to have a fire.
They can accommodate anything from tents (only a few sites) to pull throughs with full service (the majority of the sites).
There are large fields with horses on both the north and south side of the park with woods on the east side.
BTW, if you stay 6 mights you get the 7th free, essentially bringing the nightly rate down to approximately $40/night.

My husband and brother-in-law and his wife were to camp here in August, but my father had a stroke, so we needed to go to New York and had to cancel our reservation. Because I did not cancel 10 before, they still charged my credit card $25 twice for both reservations. I explained to her about my dad having a stroke and all she said was well things like that happen. Policy is to cancel 10 days before or you have to pay $25. Unfortunately, it was an emergency situation that we could not help and surely the time part of it was beyond our control. The lady was very rude, and the $25 charge was on my bill twice. We will never stay in this campground again. We have stayed many years there before we went on to the Portland Tractor Show, and they are NEVER full. What non caring people these people are.
