We stayed three nights starting the first night in the B loop. The sites were large and for the most part shady. We were within sight of the lake and could easily walk down to the campground beach though it was really too cold yet for us to really take part in swimming. Unfortunately, we had some rambunctious neighbors come in after the first night so we decided to move to the A loop which does not allow pets (a lot of dog barking in the pet areas). There was only a few other people in our section and we pretty much had the place to ourselves. There is not a very shady section of the campground (more open) but we were happy with our site as it did provide some shade and it backed up to the woods. The showerhouses were in good condition and were well maintained. We enjoyed our stay at this state park and will visit again however, we will stay in the A loop the first time. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

alright campground We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We spent three nights here midweek in order to visit the Airstream factory, which is located in nearby Jackson Center, and look forward to returning if we pass through this area again. Our campsite was on a canal in the D loop, and the view of the lake, while not direct was very nice. Each loop - and this is a very large campground - had its own campground host and they do keep things up quite nicely. Another plus was being able to get a strong WiFi signal on our Verizon EVDO card, something that unfortunately is not that common at state/national parks. The signage leading to the park is very sparse: a generic brown camping sign was the only cue from the access road we used to approach (our GPS sent us a few miles past the sign to a residential access point to the lake, but we backtracked, turned at the sign, stopped to ask for directions at a small store and found the park within 15 minutes). We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a nice clean state park. This was our first trip here. We were there on the weekend and the campground was full. We stayed on one of the dead end loops with not much traffic. It was a good place to ride the bikes, but you had to watch out for the traffic on the main camp roads. Sites were large enough for us. There is lots to do in the area. If you have a boat, they have campsites on the water too. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Indian Lakes is a quieter-than-expected State-run campground containing a mixture of old and newer loops. The commissary is very nice with cheap ice cream and pretty much everything a camper might need from a grocery store. This is mostly a boater’s camp and many of our neighbors did the up-at-dawn, out to the lake, back for lunch, out to the lake, back in the evening tango. I thought there would be more boat noise (our site was about 40 yards from the lake, a very nice view) but it really wasn’t a problem at all. There are channels from the lake into the campground and some used these to get out to the lake. They have channel-side campsites on asphalt (B-C sites?) for those who want that kind of access to their boat. It had rained heavily the night before and some of the B&D sites were basically islands of asphalt surrounded by large mud puddles. I'd call ahead; we got lucky and the site we'd reserved was fine. As far as maintenance, the camping loops themselves were well-maintained and clean. The beach, however, wasn't quite as immaculate and the same trash that surrounded the basketball court on the first day was still there when we left. I suspect that the camp hosts watch over their own areas (and do a great job) and the common areas aren't as closely monitored. We intend to return; it was a decent place if boating and fishing is what you are after. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Not the best camping experience. It seems like this was a great place a few years ago, and they have been letting it go. Although, very early in the camping season, I still wouldn't have expected the grass to be a foot tall. They did cut our grass on our site and the site around us a few hours after we showed up. The worker asked me to help move the picnic table as they were short staffed. Campground was only about 1/4 full. Bathrooms and showers could have been cleaner and not so smelly. Good size sites, however could use a few more trees and effort from the staff. A little unorganized. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Very nice SP. We were on the PA rate & very early in the season. The only reason it does not rate a 10 for a SP was the poor signage leading us there, Thankyou GPS We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We chose a premium waterfront site, for just a few dollars more...and worth it. One premium loop has water, the other does not. We were in the "not" section, but filled our tank on the way in. We were on the loop of the circle, backed right up to a beautiful lake. Nice, big site with trees, and actually, water on 3 sides.You can see what I mean on the Ohio State Parks website). We especially liked the swimming area. They had a special beach for dogs, and it was fun to swim with our beagle. There is a nice small town on the other side of the lake for any supplies you might need. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We have camped here for 10 yrs. This was our favorite park because you could camp on the water and sites were large. No more. Now they allow as many units as you can fit per site. Kids run rampant, unsupervised. Campers lack basic etiquette. You can drive and park anywhere and everywhere, creating a congested and ugly view. We wrote a letter and were told that they can't enforce courtesy and they are not enforcing rules because people WANT to camp like this. Huh? We'll camp elsewhere in the future where somebody is watching over the fort. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Indian Lake State Park is a large destination facility located E. of I-75 and approximately 50 miles NW of Columbus, Ohio. It is in an active recreational area. Boating, swimming, and fishing activities are found in the 5800 acre lake. The park has excellent facilities for all types of RV and tent campers. The roads and sites are all paved and can handle the largest units. Although this is an older campground, it has had very good maintenance. Like most state parks, the occupancy level increases during the holiday and weekend. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
