This resort is small with 60 sites. It is primarily a seasonal resort but they do rent by the week and the month. The resort sits on Barton Lake and each site has it's own pier. The sites are very large and are full hookup. Lots of grass and each site has a concrete pad. The resort has a very nice pool, basketball court and a playground. It sits right next door to the Jellystone Park which has water slides, mini-golf, etc that you can use by paying a daily usage fee. This resort was spotless, well maintained and quiet not to mention the seasonals are well maintained and very friendly to us during our stay. We would definitely recommend this resort if you are planning a week trip to northeast Indiana. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We spent one night here while traveling using Passport America. We are on a large grassy hill site overlooking I69. This is a convenient overnight stop just off the expressway. The site is open so our rooftop TV dish works. No sewer hook up. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed at a site in the 600 area. This was really close to the freeway and was noisy at night. Some of the sites closer to the lake may not have this problem. Lots of activities: water slides, paddle boats, pedal cars, 3 pools, splash pool, and many playgrounds. The nightly rate seemed kind of high for having extra fees on some activities. Everything was in good condition, but pretty busy. The staff was 50-50 on how friendly and helpful they were. The registration staff said wood couldn't be delivered from the Ranger Station, but when we drove our motorhome over there, there was at least 3-4 staff members in golf cars offering to deliver wood. This was on a Thursday, but they were not delivering any of the other nights we were there. We would only stay here again if it was convenient. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is our second time back to this park. Again we had a super great time. We did have to move once as there was not a site where we wanted to stay for our entire stay. This was a bit of a pain, but you don't really want to be in the 600's: there is no shade, only a few baby trees. We first stayed on site 429: very shady and convenient as it was directly across from the athletic field and a large playground. We took advantage of this a lot! The site was a bit small but with the field, it did not bother us. We then moved to site 448: lots more sun here, but the site itself was quite large and lots of grass in our area for the kids to play. Both sites had concrete pads and fire rings. The pools were busy but nice and refreshing. Kids loved that as did the parents! We took advantage of the waterslides this year which are also on the property. There is a fee, but it is a quite resonable $10 for a day pass. Hubby and I shared an 8-time pass for $6 and that was enough for us. The staff was friendly: had a bit of a mess-up with a credit we were to receive, but it all worked out before we left. Clean with lots of activities. The teenagers were a bit bored after the 3rd - 4th day but the little ones (4-10) had a blast and were sad to leave! We stayed for 6 days. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

There is something for everyone at this campground. The sites: There are over 600 sites many with different attributes. Some are wooded, some are in the open, some cement patios, lakefront, playground front, etc. there is likely a configuration that suits you best. We stayed in the 600s area which we liked and there was an awesome restroom facility in that area with private FULL bathrooms (in the comfort station) complete with shower, toilet and sink with a lockable door to the outside. I thought the sites in general weren’t as well maintained as other places we stay, they were uneven, gravel and dirt in many places, some grass, smaller for the price, however, the amenities of this resort outweigh it. I think a little maintenance in this area could make a world of difference. I would love to see the 600s area converted to a fully paved RV section with paved sites/patios and full hookup. Pools: Even with a full weekend the resort didn’t feel crowded. My kids loved the outdoor water/splash park, this was great for all ages (I even enjoyed running under the waterfalls). The pools were well heated and clean. While we didn’t ride the large water slides, many did and it was a great addition to the campground. Other Amenities: This campground has the largest best camp store/diner I have seen anywhere. Complete with just about anything you could possibly need, the prices were reasonable and there was much to choose from. The grill/ice cream parlor was a nice touch with a balcony overlooking the lake. The putt putt golf, while basic, was a nice feature, it was affordable and we enjoyed it. We were disappointed in the arcade as about 70% of the games were not working. My kids liked the variety of having 5 different playgrounds here, kept them interested throughout the trip. The bike rentals were quite expensive at $10 per half hour but were fun even if for a short time. And in Jellystone fashion, the Yogi Activities, train rides, crafts, bingo, etc. were a hit with the family. If Wi-Fi is an important need for you, know that you will likely only get a signal at the Ranger Station, not at your site (by the staff's report and my experience). Cleanliness/Maintenance/Customer Service: I think this campground is just inches from greatness. I think with a bit of attention to detail this place could be great. I was taken aback at the number of unkempt seasonal sites, this did create a less than stellar perception for me, some were an eyesore. I thought they could also step up the customer service, while I did not encounter any rudeness the staff was mostly indifferent, even when I asked a simple “how are you doing today…?” I was confronted with no response at all. Bottom Line: Overall this is a great destination and I highly recommend it especially for families with children - this is a kids paradise. Pick your site carefully as some are better than others. Bring extra money for the amenities, most things are extra. If you are looking for a meticulously maintained luxury resort this may not be the place for you. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
