It is now called Forest Park and is under New Owners, and they are very helpful. The park is looking very nice under them. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I have stayed at this park at least 4 times over the last two years. Each time, the sites are muddy, uneven and the WiFi advertised is never available. I believe the modem or router is disconnected since bringing the laptop to the main building provided no change to the signal. There is "no signal". It appears that the property has changed management or ownership. However, signage on I-69 exit signs identifies it as a KOA. If an option was available at the time of the year I am returning from the South, I would avoid this stop. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Please avoid this campground at all costs. As the other reviews indicate, this campground is poorly managed. I made a reservation at least 60 days in advance via phone and was told I was confirmed for an RV site. Upon my arrival, there was no one in the locked office. I hooked up only to have the campground owner tell me that the site was reserved and there were no other sites that would allow support of my very large motorhome. My wife had cooked dinner but we had not had a chance to eat when we had to hurridly unhook and move on to a rest stop in the Indianapolis area. Let all RV owners send a message to this campground that RVer's cannot be treated in this manner. This park does not deserve to be patronized by any RVer. The attitude of the owner is just as the other reviews have indicated - very bad. PLEASE DO ALL RVER'S A FAVOR AND DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS CAMPGROUND. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground has wide gravel sites and a couple of the sites have concrete pads. It is right next to the interstate but road noise isn't a problem. The interior roads are level and wide. The campground is older but has a lot of potential. The problem is that this is basically a one person operation and it is apparent that she can't keep up. There are signs of deterioration everywhere but it still isn't too bad. When we checked in we were told that the wifi was spotty but it has worked fine for us and we are as far from the source as you can get. It would be nice if they had cable but there are no trees so satellite works fine. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground was the KOA in Auburn, but no longer, they were taking the KOA sign down the day we stayed there. The manager not very happy with KOA and it showed in her dealings with us. This is a great stop for overnight when traveling I-69 and a good location for anything in and around Ft Wayne, In. Everything was clean and worked well, but it is due for some upgrading at the sites. We will stay there again when in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This was a pretty nice KOA. There have been some complaints posted by some about the owner, an older lady. This lady has to run the campground by herself, and she works 6 or 7 days a week all year round. The campground is open all year. There is a nice little store, laundry room, and wonderful showers. I had no issues. I would suggest cable tv. I will return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Good overnight stop near the interstate 69. Good access for big rigs of 45 feet and towing. Gravel sites but solid pads. Good exit and entrance. Much to see and do in Auburn. Plan to spend a few days here. Will not allow washing of motorhomes. We camped here in a Motorhome.
One of the nicest bathrooms I've seen in a campground. Sites are not great, especially in bad weather. Easy access off I-69. Wi-fi did not work and office didn't seem to care or know what to do about it. I was leaving so didn't pursue it. Nice pavilion and kitchen for rallies. Apparently the manager can be difficult to deal with. I personally had minimal contact and no problem. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
She's still here. Other than a manager who should not be permitted contact with customers it' a fine Kampground. A few small trees, fewer small children, lots of big rigs. Very clean and well kept, no doubt the rules help this. I've stayed here before and will again. Just be sure that when you park your car it is pointed in the same direction as your rig. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Arrived at campground with reservation. 5-6" of snow on ground, covering roads and sites. Checked in and told site number, were not escorted to site. Pulled into site, set up, power kept going off (50amp). Owner walks up and asks if there is a problem; after looking at parked truck with disgusted look on her face. Tell her power won't stay on. She tells us not to drive on grass as ground is very soft, and walks off. Returns later with volt meter, checks 50amp plug and finds it not working. Tells us we can use 30 amp or move. Since we are set up, use 30 amp. No refund of additional 50 amp charge offered. The owner comes out and tells again not to drive on the grass. On day we leave there is again 5-6" of snow covering sites and roads. We pull to end of road, stop to deposit trash in bin. We are now stuck in snow. While trying to gain some traction, truck and fifth apparently slide onto grass again. There was no confrontation on our part to cause this woman to be so rude. We were on road as far as we could tell when covered in snow. We have never encountered such a rude campground owner or worker anywhere. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stopped at this campground for an overnighter. It was right off Interstate 69. We asked if there was a pull-thru site so we would not have to unhook. Our total length (with bed extended in rear) is 52'. The campground owner said not a problem. Our site was so compact, our bed hung over onto the road by 3-4 inches. The owner would not let us move even though there were several longer sites available. I saw the owner talk to several other customers in the store and she was very rude. It was basically her rules, her way, or LEAVE! The park itself had a lot of permament residents (which I didn't know you could do in a KOA). They had the concrete blocks, the garbage, outside cats and all. I was not impressed with the park. The swimming pool was nice. The bathrooms and showers were in the Store. Each individual rooms like you would have at home. Thought that was a nice feature. We didn't use either one. I would not stay at this park again. If the owner was more pleasant and treated customers like they were number one instead of herself, and with some outside clean-up, this could be a really nice park. As I said earlier it was very convenient to the interstate. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

A very, very nice campground with nice, level, easily ingressed and egressed sites. Good
place for overnight or for a longer stay. Highly recommend it. We camped here in a Motorhome.
