This large park is located on the edge of town, so easy access. The average sized sites are on gravel with grass between and feature a section for tents.

Not a lot of kid oriented things to do and I didn’t see many kids here. Some of the people I spoke to return every year and make a reservation for next year before they leave for a specific site. Sometimes they don’t get the promised site and management said it’s in the fine print that they can move their site at management discretion. This does not make people happy.

The campground is nice and close to town. However, management is shady. We stayed the last 4 days of Oct. and last day for them to be open was Nov 1st. They turned the water off to the campground at 3:00 pm Oct 31st! There was at least another dozen RVs in the campground and we saw someone checking in.

There was at least another dozen RVs in the campground and we saw someone checking in. I called and they said they turned it off because it was the last day, if it was the last dau why were charging people for the night of the 31st and saying checking out was Nov1st! That makes Nov 1st the last day! I debated that the last day was Nov 1st when everyone checks out but it did absolutely no good. They did not tell us at check in that would turn the water off to the campground. That is for something I would have remembered and I would have filled my fresh tank! The girl on the phone said there is a hose at the office and we can fill our tank, so they did not turn the water off to the office, only the campers. There was absolutely no reason for them to turn the campground water off a day early and then still charge full price! Just shady! We will never go back there.

Convenient location near the RV capital of the world. Sites well maintained, level, easy in and out. Laundry facility clean, but used frequently. WiFi adequate.

Laundry facility clean, but used frequently. WiFi adequate. This is a very accommodating campground for mobile RV services, in fact one of them recommended this place for that reason. It is surrounded by Amish horse farms and quite beautiful. Be sure to get sites that back up to one, the horses come around frequently (we were on site 132). Some road noise, but otherwise very quiet and peaceful. Reasonably prices as well. Highly recommend.

Nice RV park right in the midst of Shipshewana! Some shaded lots. Gravel pads. Front row very uneven, hard to get level, nice staff will help you find another site if you are unable to level your rig. The rest of the lots seem ok. Picnic tables. Weekly rates. Shelter houses, gazebo, playground. Full hook-ups, 50amp. Within walking distance of some stores. Great location to see Shipshewana... Nice RV park right in the midst of Shipshewana!
