Easy on and off the I-80 toll road. The staff took us to our site, and were very helpful with directions. Interior roads were gravel, and our site was long and mostly level with one block. There is no cable, but satellite works with their few trees. Propane is on site. We appreciate the recycling of glass, aluminum, and plastic, and wish all campgrounds provided it. We will return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We enjoyed our 4 day stay here very much. We requested a long, level pull through, which we got. We found the sites to be plenty wide--ample room for slides, awnings, etc. without being right up to your neighbor. Staff was very friendly. Pool looked nice; the water was fine, which I was apprehensive about after reading a previous review. Nice hiking trails through the woods. Wi-fi was good. Staff seemed to be on top of things, riding around park often. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is an older campground. It sits on a busy corner of two main roads, which means that there really isn't a place in the campground where you won't hear road traffic. We used it as a one-night stay, it was adequate for that purpose. The facilities were older and we just OK. Clean, but in need of updating. It's a good base camp for exploring the area, though. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Another nice KOA. Park is spread out okay. When were weren't in town we used the pool, game room and basketball court. It is hot in June and the pool is nice. All facilities are in above average working order and clean. Park is close to all the Amish community things you want to do including the flea market and auction. Staff friendly and knowledgeable of the area. It is also close to the RV Hall of fame in Elkhart, if you come this area do yourself a favor and go visit the RV hall of fame, it's a blast. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We enjoyed this campground very much. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. We took one of the tours they offer and enjoyed it very much. This is Amish country, and we enjoyed visiting the shops they run. We will be back . We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Excellent park, friendly staff, nice shade trees and clean. Best dog park area I have seen. I would definitely camp here again, highly recommended. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We've stayed overnight at this campground twice in the past month on our way to other places. It was quiet and great for resting. The pull-thru sites in the front row of the park are great for late arrivals, we had no trouble quickly hooking up in the dark. Also, it has a fenced dog play yard, love that. We noticed it's close to Amish country, so we may check that out next time we pass through. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is an okay park for an overnight stop. The roads are gravel and fairly narrow. The sites could be better maintained. The hookups are less than desirable. If you do stay here, do not go in the pool! It is poorly maintained with rust stains down the side. The water is cloudy as others have said. The pool was full of obnoxious teenagers who were the friends of the teenagers working in the office. When we complained about the behavior happening in the pool, the teenagers working in the office just laughed. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
I have to agree with the other ratings for this park. Although my main focus is on the width of the sites. Many of the sites due to trees you can not put out your awning. Its true side by side camping. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This campground is a little expensive for April. However, it is very obvious on the highway into the RV Capital of the World and used by many who are there for repairs, warranty services or factory tours. We planned a factory tour and needed repairs when we arrived as well. The office staff are very friendly and helpful. The washrooms and showers were clean and well looked after. It does not have a lot of amenities for this time of year, other than a short hiking trail. However, it is convenient and most use it for that purpose. We might stay there again. The lack of discount price in April was not appreciated when others around were much less. We felt they take advantage of their location. But they are very service-oriented. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Just a quick update for 2008: we agree with all previous comments. It's a solid average KOA, ideally situated for those who want to explore Amish territory or take an RV plant tour. Nice folks and lots of kiddie stuff. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Friendly, helpful owners who are always working, cleaning, etc. CG is kept up nicely. Sites are small, no privacy. Good location for Shipshewana and RV plant tours, and probably the best in the area, but CG location is on a busy intersection. For those of us in soft-sided rigs (popups, hybrid trailers and tents), road noise is terrible! Trucks stopping and then starting up, with all the engine noise involved, all night long. We'll camp here again when we have a fully hard-sided rig and can block out the noise better. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Park employees were very nice and friendly. Our site was very nice and we were very comfortable during our stay here at this well kept Elkhart/ Middlebury KOA park. Every time a site was vacated an employee was right there cleaning up the fire pit, picking up anything that was on the ground, making sure for the next camper it was a clean site. They have a very nice playground for the children and a swimming pool.They also have a very well stocked store with just about everything you need and more. We especially liked the fresh homegrown vegetables and bake goods that were offered for sale. We were very pleased that we found this campground and will certainly stay here again next time we are in the area. Thank you for a wonderful stay!!! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice, small and quiet campground. We rented one of their (2) new Kottage/Lodges. It was wonderful. We had a small ant issue and they were there taking care of it FAST! Close to Shipshewana (visited another Shipshe-campgound and KOA was best). Middlebury is an amazing little town (even has a scrapbook store!). The owners and staff were great. There is a fishing pond (great big bass)...2 goats to feed (.25cents). All in all, great visit! Cable TV in Kottage. We camped here in a Campground Cabin.
Nice Campground. Extremely helpful and friendly staff. Would definitely stay again. Wish we could stay longer. Lots for the kids to do but not too many kids running around. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The good....The owners were excellent, very friendly and informative. You can tell they enjoy owning the campground. The sites toward the back are very nice, they are level with a cement pad next to parking spot. The bad....The water is terrible. The drinking water smells and taste bad. After doing laundry, it made our clothes smell. The pool is old and not in very good shape, water was cloudy. When we got there it was very busy, so maybe they hadn't had a chance to do the daily maintenance, and I'm sure the water is local and that doesn't help. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Moderate size KOA in the heart of Indiana's Amish Country and the RV Manufacturing Capitol of the USA. Lots of activities including tours of Amish Country, and many local celebrations and festivals. Great home style restaurants (Essenhouse is great!) in the area. Our pullthrough site was reasonable wide, but not long enough for our 40' rig and towed vehicle, so we had to park the toad sideways. Elongated exit path, but not too tight. Very friendly and helpful staff. No Cable TV. We stayed here one night and paid $39 (including $3 for 50 Amp) after the KOA Valu Kard discount. We camped here in a Motorhome.
As previously stated, Staff was very helpful. Free wifi available. Tree's are a bit close in some sites, which are very close together, had to "jig" to enable opening slides. In fact, I am concerned about making the turn to pull out when I leave in a bit! (and I am only 34 Ft) The picnic table in the next site is nearly up against our slide out. Park is far enough away from Interstate to be quiet, but a road right behind the park wakes one up by about 5 AM with traffic noise each morning. It is convenient to many local attractions and we would stay here again, but would be more particular about the site assigned. Good laundry machines, pool looked good, but was busy and enjoyed by many folks. Bathroom & shower areas were OK, but because of heavy usage, could be cleaned more often than the scheduled once-per-day. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
OK park with VERY helpful and courteous staff. Owners were just great. Bathrooms clean. Park is older but nice. WiFi was free, but would drop out and come back again real quick. An overnight stay. I would stay again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Great campground, very helpful and friendly staff - front desk staff took time to go over local map with us and point out highlights. We had bit of a mechanical problem with our rig - staff gave us several recommendations - we called an individual who arrived within the hour and corrected problem for us at a very reasonable charge. All sites seemed to offer some shade and were well-maintained and level. Our children enjoyed the pool and game room, the nature trail to the creek was a nice quiet walk. Shower facilities were clean and well-maintained. Laundry facilities worked well and were not too expensive. Wifi worked well with strong signal - and free of charge! The store was well stocked, although a trip to town for supplies was easy here. This campground was easily accessible to all that we wanted - the Amish experience in Shipshewana a highlight, especially Menno-hof an Amish/Mennonite museum/info center, the RV museum in Elkhart a real treat. We did not do a factory tour this trip, but hope to make another venture to this area and take that in. This is a campground we will return to again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Stayed in this Northern Indiana park while visiting some friends. Lots of RV factories in the area. Close to Shipshawana which is a very large flea market. Very large Amish population in the area. Park is nice and well managed. TV reception is lousy. Will stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a nice little campground, not far from the Rt. 90 turnpike. The only drawback is if you plan on visiting the RV factories for tours be aware that they are on plant shutdown the week of the 4th of July and no tours are offered. We will return if we are in the area again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
