Great potential, but poorly run. I've stayed there 3 times prior and this was their last shot. They blew it. The workers just aren't nice, and the campground needs work. Even worse, the long term residents seemed to have the same attitude as the management. I can't name one specific thing that they did, but you just kind of get the feeling that you are not wanted. No problem at all, you don't want me.......so long. It's too bad because with a little imagination and hard work, this could be a really nice camping facility. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Ok, I will start with the bad first: only bad thing that I didn't really like was the water at this park, it smelled and had alot of iron in the water. If you stay here buy some Iron Out for you sinks and your white laundry, etc. The staff was OK: not really friendly and not really unfriendly. Some sites do have shade. The small fishing pond was nice to have. They pick up your garbage every morning if you leave it out at your site. If you stay monthly then you do have to mow your lawn. All in all not a really bad place to stay if you can handle the water. Walmart is close by also. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed in the 50 amp pull through section which has sites that were roomy. Very nice separation between RVs. Roads could be a little better and perhaps a little TLC on the grading of the sites, but it was a good place. You could see there is a lot of seasonal visitors and activities for them to enjoy. We only stayed 3 nights and the park was adequate for our needs. Do have one negative comment, the water is terrible! We camped here in a Motorhome.
In all my years of camping, by far the worst experience ever. We called ahead to see if the pool was open for the kids and they said yes. We got to the pool about 6:45 and it was closed although it was posted to be open until 8:30. when I talked to the owner he said "if you don't like it, don't come back!".... No problem there! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This park is a mixture of good and bad and that depends on where you park. If you park in the area with 50 amp service the park is pretty good. If you park in the 30 amp service area, the park is a pit. We chose 30 amp service because of the time of year and felt like we were camping in a dump. The sites were not mowed, there was trash in the fire ring and there were monthly residents whose sites were just horrible. The manager was OK when we checked in but nothing special. Might stay here for an emergency overnight but with other parks in the area, it would be only if I had no other choice. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Large park with easy big rig access - close to I70 and you can hear the freeway quite well. Very convenient to Indianapolis. We have stayed there 4 times and would return. Suggest asking for a site as far from the freeway as possible if noise is a concern. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This place is named the Heartland Resort. It would be more appropriate if they named it the Heartland Slum. When we arrived, although we had reserved a site long enough for our 41 foot motorhome and tow car, the site they put us in had both hanging over the road. The site itself was filty--trash all over the ground, the fire ring full of trash that hadn't been emptied in weeks, grass up to your kneecaps, a very rusty water connection, and dust, dust, dust everywhere. Calling this place a resort is like calling a rowboat the Queen Mary. And, on top of their healthy overnight fees (with no cable TV), they charged $5.00 per night for wi-fi, and charged also for use of miniature golf, plus a $4.00 per day charge for any guest you have stop by. A terrible place. Stay away. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Stayed here for 7 months until it got too cold. Very nice campground. The owners are friendly and the campgound is well kept. It has very nice lake views and a beautiful 9 hole par 3 golf course. There are fire pits at every site and a small swimming lake with a sand beach. It is very crowded in the summer months and very family oriented. They have a golf cart parade every weekend for the kids as well as hay rides. Very nice park and would highly reccommend it. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Staff very friendly and nice. This campground has everything you can think of. For the golfers it has a par 3 golf course. The sites are nice and big. Grass between every site. The laundry room could use some help but other then that it was great. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a very nice park with a lot of amities. They have a nice sandy beach and indoor
swimming pool. Sites were shaded, however it looked like the newer area w/ 50 Amp hook-up was all gravel? The parade of "gulf carts" was hilarious. Large bathroom / shower facilities, however we did not use them. The interior roads were a little tight but manageable for our 33' 5'er. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Quite a few seasonal RV's there, but we didn't feel out of place as most were friendly. The campground is just a few miles from Indianapolis, and close to shopping and restaurants. We will use this facility again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here from March 02 to June 03. Had to mow our site in the summer but they
provided a mower to use. They plowed the onsite roads during the winter months. Enjoyed the par 3 - 9 hole golf course and the indoor swimming pool. The bigger pull thru sites (no shade trees) were put in around the fall of 02. We had a telephone hookup at our site but we had to call the local phone company to come out and activate it. The golf cart parades during the weekends were a kick as were the festivities during the holidays. We really loved Elvince the Elvis impersonator over the
4th of July weekend. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Spent Labor Day weekend at the campground. All in all, it is not a bad campground. I really felt they misrepresented the site we got. They said it was a new pull through site that didn't have shade. It turned out to be a gravel parking lot. No trees or grass. Not my idea of camping. There were sites in a wooded area which looked really nice, but mostly seasonal folks there. If it weren't for the people running the place, it would be a nice place. We got to our site and after being disappointed because it was a parking lot, I started to hook everything up. Our sewer connection was about 3 feet off the ground (about a foot and a half higher than the drain on my camper.) They just hadn't cut it off. I didn't have a problem with that as long as they took care of it. When my wife went to the front desk to explain the situation with them all they wanted to do was argue with her and tell her she didn't know what she was talking about and that they would get to it the next day. When my wife suggested that we not pay for sewer hookup that night, their reply was, we didn't need to hook it up that night anyway. So much for customer service. The next day a friend of mine we were camping with had brought along a go-ped (motorized scooter) to ride up to the camp store and back (not all over the place.) I will say the rules were a little grey in this area as to if it was allowed. Well one of the seasonal "security guards" pulled him over with his golf cart with siren and hollered at him to get that thing put up. My friend (who I heard) explain very calmly that it didn't say anywhere in the rules that he couldn't ride it and that he wasn't hurting anyone or anything, the guy lost it. My friend then pointed out they should be more worried about letting 8 year olds drive golf carts all over the place than an adult taking a leisurely ride on a go-ped, the man yelled some more. My friend said he would put it up and not ride it any more then. That was that, we thought. The man then went to get an owner and bring her, back for round two. I guess he thought he had his authority questioned. They seemed more worried about their seasonal campers than anyone else. We both stood there and talked to the owner and worker and explained, we had enjoyed the park so far, but because of their attitude we certainly wouldn't be back, and wouldn't recommend it to anyone we knew. Again, if it wasn't for the staff I would rate it much higher. We camped here in a camper.

This campground is one of the best KOAs I've ever been too. The staff were really friendly which is a huge plus. It is a nice quiet campground surrounded by trees. Very clean and well kept. They have beautiful flowers this year! Also they have 2 little horses to pet and feed apples. 24 hour laundry!!!! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Pretty nice stopover. There is not a lot of quality parks in the Indy area, IMHO. This campground is on the East side of Indy, but I used it for a base to visit relatives on both the south and the east side, as there isn't much else. There was another campground at the same exit, but the I could not find that campground by following the signs. The KOA was right next to the exit. Recommended for visiting Indy for a few days. I will visit again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Sites vary from gravel to grass, level to unlevel. Great area for taking nature walks. Quiet park, great staff, clean facilities. Spent two nights. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is an adequate park in a town with not many options. There are two sections and we stayed in the newer section which has sites suitable for big rigs. We were in a deluxe site which was near a dusty entry road and our bus and tow car were absolutely covered with dust. The newer section has significant road noise from the nearby freeway but with air conditioners running it was not a problem. It was Labor Day weekend and the park was full, hence the restrooms were given heavy use and were not very clean. The registration office is oddly located on one side of a very tight 180 degree turn which we found challenging to negotiate with our tow car attached. I would stay in the park again, but only because there are apparently no better options in the Indianapolis area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The campsites were level and had easy access. Our site had a concrete pad under the picnic table. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We camped here in a Motorhome.
OK park. Kind of typical for a KOA. Has all the right stuff but needs to be "prettified" somewhat. Dusty entry road made a mess of the coach and the toad. Workers there, while not rude, could be friendlier. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Our site was level and the facilities were clean and well kept. We used it as a base to visit the Indianapolis area and Conner Prairie. We camped here with small children and we would camp here again We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
This is a really nice KOA, surrounded by peaceful cornfields; to visit the Indianapolis area from. Easy access from the Interstate. They have a totally new store, office and pool, with very friendly staff. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is one of my favorite campgrounds we've camped at this year. Very friendly staff, nice pool area, clean restrooms, fully stocked store and adorable miniature horses! Big Rig friendly 50 amp 120' long pull thru sites new laundry and free wifi! We camped here in a Motorhome.
They have had massive problems with their water this week. The water is full of metal, which causes everything to rust and it stinks badly. They have had trouble with their lift station this week so we have had brown water and loss of water at times. We will not be returning to this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Excellent service. Loved the atmosphere. Pool was nice. Family owned and operated. They were very accomedating for special requests. Free Wi-Fi was nice. All of the cabins are new and very clean. Easy access to I-70. Lots of local restuarants, also. We camped here in a .

Took my two young girls camping with me for one night. Enjoyed the clean pool. We had a very good experience. The campground was very clean overall and the bathroom facilities were excellent. Very family friendly. Liked the garbage pickup service. Has multiple options from tenting to renting a cabin. Plan on visiting again. We camped here in a Tent.

This was probably one of the nicest KOAs that we have visited. Very friendly staff. Our kids had a great time. I loved all the trees; so many campgrounds are just big open fields. WiFi Internet was great too. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Real convenient to downtown. Clean facilities. Real family oriented - with free wifi! Enjoyed our stay. We camped here in a .
Office closes at 7pm. wiFi available at or near the office. Over half the sites were grass. No pad of any kind. This will make for an absolute nightmare in wet weather. The grass sites were not easy to distinguish where one ended and the other started. As with most KOAs, the price seemed a bit high, but in line with other KOAs. Lots of freeway noise if you are on the north half (grassy) area of the grounds. It was neat and well kept. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Not fully opened up yet, but they are working hard on getting it ready. Friendly folks, decently stocked store, clean & neat. Easy on & off I-70. We would stop here again. We stayed overnight here in April 2005 in a 5er. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This was a great KOA nestled between cornfields right off of I70. We went up there for the Brickyard race; so that is why the nightly rate is high; I'm not sure what the regular rate is. This is a family owned campground with every family member involved. It is so well run and clean, clean, clean. The store was well stocked and also had laundry facilities. We will definitely return not only for race weekends but just because it was such a great campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We camped there in Summer of 02 with our 12 year old grandson. Staff was very professional, grounds were immaculate, and conditions were near perfect. Our granson thoroughly enjoyed himself in every way. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We drove through this place thinking we would stay there. But it was so trashy that we just kept on going and didn't stop. We then checked out the other two parks in Greenfield, both of which were 100% better. We ended up staying downtown at the State Fairgrounds because Greenfield is just too far out of town. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Overall, a nice family owned park. Lots of activities for the kids, with swimming pool and putt putt golf. Store has limited groceries and supplies. Many of the sites are seasonal and I'm sure it can be quite busy during the summer. We stayed here over the Labor Day weekend. The park is very convenient to Indianapolis. There are 2 areas of camping, the sites up on the hill are much nicer. We were down below due to an RV Rally. Do not expect to get a satellite signal as the park is very shady. You probably could get a signal up on the hill if you got a site on one of the end spots. The park does not have cable. We even had trouble getting cell phone reception with our Verizon service. The secondary road after leaving I-70 to the park is very tight which was sort of scary when we met an oncoming vehicle. We would stay here again if in the area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Camped here for about 3 months. Overall, fairly nice but park has two distinct areas. Nightly campers seem to be placed in a different area for the most part. Newer facilities in that area. Store has limited selection Staff friendliness/competence is all over the board. Some are helpful and nice, some clueless and rude. Large section of the park devoted to seasonal or permanent residences. Many not well maintained, giving the park a "junky" and dated appearance. Water quality in this area is poor IMO. I highly recommend a water filter of some sort. Lake is really more of a shallow pond, but there are fish in it. Saw several people catch panfish during my stay. Bathhouse in the area where I was staying was fairly old. Needs to be updated. Quite a few activities on weekends in the summer and early fall. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
