There is a great Pool for the kids here! The bathrooms are clean but old and the toilets are cramped. They could have had more bathroom facilities. We enjoyed the trails. They kept you guessing what was around the corner. They went from really wooded to open fields. We camped along the river, it was nice. The bugs were not bad. We rented a golf cart and it was fun to go around the park. I read another review and agree that the Pit Bull's were scary! We would go again but hope the Pit Bull doesn't. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
We stayed in the pop-up/tent loope and had a water/electric site near the river. The electric hookup wasn't too bad, but if it had been another 3' away we wouldn't have been able to do it. The water is another matter. We placed our camper so we could enjoy the fire ring in front of it. By doing this we needed 75' of water hose and had to run it over another site's path so they had to be sure not to stop on our water hose. Four sites hookup per water pipe. The restrooms and showers are a disaster! It was cool and humid that weekend and they always had water 1/4" deep on the floors, then with the dirt tracked in you got mud. Just what you want after a shower. They only have around 10 showers and commodes for the whole park. Not sure what the pet rules are, but we saw 5-6 Pitbulls, 2-3 American bull dogs, and one guy riding a bike with 4 very large German Shepherds running along with him. Oh yes, and one Mastiff who didn't like me very much. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
This is an update to my review from last year. We returned to Eby Pines this Summer, and we continue to like this campground very much. We prefer the Electric/water sites around the fishing pond. I am not to crazy about the pull through full hook up sites, because they are pretty close together. The pool is very nice and they have a life guard. They have a nice store and the kids love to fish in the little pond. They also have updated playground equipment. We plan to return again next summer. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a nice park. We were here over a holiday weekend, and even though the park was full - noise was not an issue. There are a fair number of permanent sites - some are older RV's - but I'm not there to look or judge other's RV's. The sites are pretty close to level, roomy, and of good size. My only complaint - was the dust. The roads are dirt/sand/gravel, and anything that sits outside gets a VERY solid coating of dust. We stayed for three nights, and I took my truck to have it washed once because it went from a silver metallic grey --- to a tan haze --- LOL!! But... all in all... a nice park that we would return to. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This park has a very nice pool with a life guard. My kids loved it. The park store is nice and well stocked. There are some very nice sites, but also a few very un-level sites. I would pick one near the little pond..they were grassy and close to the pool. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We have been full timing for 6 years and this is the Park that we like to go to for one month in September. I know the park well and have read the reviews below. We use the Internet all the time and we found the Wi-Fi to be strong and fast. A couple of things I would note is the ground is very sandy and makes an excellent road surface. The soil does not make mud there. The roads are well maintained and they do not have ruts or puddles. Gravel would make an inferior road surface. Some of the RV's are a little older, but I chalked it up to the fact that most of the seasonals just keep coming back year after year. We have met several older people there that say they have had a site there since the 70’s. When I travel, I mainly judge a place by looking at the people and not the rvs. All of the people are super friendly at the park. We have never seen any derelicts there at all. We like the park because it is a perfect gateway to Indiana Amish country to the East and South Bend/Elkhart just to the west. We go this time of year because the Amish produce stands are world class. The tables overflow with fresh vegetables of all kinds this time of year. We also like it because the owner is around a lot and you can see him actively watching over the park. See ya there in September. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Quite, relaxing camp ground. Our site was at the little Elkhart River, perfect for our dogs to go swimming. Staff very friendly, but should be more stringent with seasonals - meaning cleaning up their sites. Lousy TV reception - Wi-Fi very weak, had to to go to office to get on. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The park is nicely located to area attractions and is a pretty park in itself except for the seasonal sites. They are in very poor shape. If these were cleaned up and rules enforced the campground would get a nine star rating from us. We camped with children and found the pool and playground to be wonderful.Bath houses were clean. The nature trails provided some nice walks. We did experience some torrential downpours and minor flooding at our site. It dissipated quickly and we notified the office.We would stay here again in the future We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Also camped here in July '05. It is pretty rundown, especially the seasonals. However, the showers and restrooms were very clean, the pool was spotless (With a certified lifeguard), and the playground was very modern. Our kids had fun. The roads are dirt and sand. There are some nice W/E sites around the big fishing pond they have that are very level, grassy sites. The sites along the Elkhart River are for tents only. We will try it again sometime. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Worst campground we have ever been in. Although they claim 350 sites, only 90 are full hookup. When we were there the 9 50 amp sites were all reserved for 30 amp rigs. The sites are narrow, interior roads and sites are dirt (not gravel). Sites are separated by dirt with a few weeds. The majority of the park is occupied by seasonals in horrid, old, dirty, and broken down camper trailers and 5th wheels. The newest was at least 15 years old and many did not appear to be roadworthy. They are allowed to keep their campsite in any way they want - strewn with coolers, bicycles, toys, old cars, whatever. You would expect to find this place at the end of a long dirt road in rural Arkansas rather than a suburb of Elkhart,IN. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
