This is a great place to camp in Shipshewanna: if you get a pull through. The back-ins are difficult to maneuver and crowded. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Great campground, very clean facilities, professional staff. It is a very quiet part of the Amish area of the state. Wi-Fi worked great, cabins were well kept. Have been here on a yearly basis and will return again. There is a community campfire ring that gives a closeness to all that stay here. Not much for kids to do, but there is a water park in town just a few miles away. Great place!!!! We camped here in a Campground Cabin.
We have been here many times and it is always pleasant and quiet. I will admit there is nothing for kids to do but, sometimes just relaxing is all we need. We will return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a lovely park with pleasant enough help. There is nothing for children to do but for retirees was nice enough. Easy access into sites. Free coffee in the morning. Clip clop of horses and carriages offset the traffic noise. Very convenient to Shipshewana, Elkhart, Nappanee, Middlebury, etc. We would camp here again when visiting the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Clean and well maintained. Without the grand kids we didn't need a lot of entertainment features in CG. Ice cream stand made for nice dessert. Their occupancy is higher on the days when the "flea market" is open. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Disappointed, Management/Owner unprofessional, while the campground was adequately clean, water/sewer, the lots were small (40’ Motorhome), 30/50/amp service questionable. Disappointed in service form arriving until departure. Management/Owner was rude uncaring and their price did not reflect the service rendered. We asked for full refund and departed as quickly as we had setup camp. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I would not bring my family here again. The restrooms were not clean. The staff was not friendly. They certainly did not go out of their way to accommodate the needs of my family. The campground itself was very boring and bare. It would have been more exciting to sleep in the car. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very clean and friendly campground. Gravel roads and site pads. 4 miles from Shipshewana stores and Auction barn. Has a community campfire area with firewood. No other fire allowed. Great Ice Cream store in front of park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed at the North campground, much better than the South one which only has electric and water. Friendly staff, but no amenities other than an ice cream shop. It's about 5 miles from the flea market. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is well taken care of, and accomodates big rigs with no problem. Our pull-thru site was long enough to park our 38 foot motorhome, and our car directly behind it, with room to spare. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice small campground in the heart of Indiana Amish country. Well kept, excellent staff, and well run. Small number of sites, but excellent size lots and sparkling clean amenities. We camped here in a camper.
This is a good place to stay if you are in the area. We had to move from Shipshewanna North because our space was available for only one night. We found the north campground to be much more desireable: the south being little more than a parking lot. Beware the traffic on flea market days: there is a lot of time spent waiting in traffic. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We really enjoyed this campground and the town of Shipshewana. We initially stayed here to visit the RV Hall of Fame in Elkhart. But to our surprise this town had so much to do. The Amish Flea Market each week was fantastic. Only got halfway thru it. Lots of shops and loved seeing the Amish buggies all day. Everyone at RV park was wonderful and so friendly. The sites were big and spacious. Some with trees and some with out. This place too was peaceful. The only thing you heard on Sundays was the clip clop of the horses on the Amish buggies. I have told everyone about this RV park and cannot wait for them to enjoy it as much as we did. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A nice park, convenient to a lot of the attractions in Shipshewana. The park was clean, the staff friendly and the spaces were adequate. There was not much shade, but quiet. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Great place to come! Super clean laundry & restrooms. We didn't give it a 10 only because of the advertised and told on phone WiFi "free"...what they don't say is, for the first 15 minutes then pay as you go, very inexpensive though. Level sites, no "seasonal" (live-ins) RVers and close to everything to visit in Shipshewana. Management very nice, lots of space between spots, really no bad spots here. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The good news: This campground is convenient to the delighful town of Shipshewana, offers very long pull through sites, and has clean and neat facilities. The bad news: The roads become swamps when it rains, sites are not level, and most sites do not have enough gravel. Most importantly, this unpaved, muddy,second rate park, with unlevel sites, charges a ridiculous $4.00 per day for wi-fi, and you must sign on each and every day you are here. Stay in Elkhart or somewhere else. It ain't worth it. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is "THE" location for your visit to Shipshewana. A Short walk to restaurants or the comings and goings of the auctions and other activities in town. Big Pull thru's Clean bathrooms but the only bad thing was the showers are too hot for me! I just couldn't use them, but then again I do have a large Motor Home with a large shower. People were friendly and knowledgeable of the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This work campers here were Wonderful and Friendly. It was so relaxing, quiet and clean. It would be nice to have fire rings. And there isn't a lot for kids, but my kids enjoyed seeing how the Amish lived, taking buggy rides, and spending quiet time together and being in the country. There are plenty of parks and farm tours to keep young kids entertained. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We live about an hour from this park and had driven by and it looked very nice from the road. However, upon arrival with our 30' fiver with a single slide we discovered that it was grossly inadequate. There are no fire rings, but they couldn't possibly have them as you would burn down the unit next to you. I could not extend my slide as it would have been hitting the picnic table on the lot behind us. In other words the lots are very narrow. There is nothing for children at all. Also, we were made to feel very unwelcome with our Black Lab. And you have to pay to use the wifi. So, if you want to pull in and sleep. Good spot. If you are going to spend all of your time somewhere not here, good spot. If you want to "camp", terrible location. After much discussion I got a refund and we moved on for the weekend. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We camped here on Memorial Weekend. Arrived without reservations. Long pull throughs, easy access for big rigs. Nice laundry. Close to town, and all the Amish attractions in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The people were friendly and the campground was clean. We stayed in a pull-through site which was large enough for our 5th Wheel w/ 3 slides and our truck. We did not use the bathroom or showers. They give you 15 minutes free WiFi, then they charge a fee. This campground made a great base-camp for us while visiting the local attractions and touring a RV Factory. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very over priced campground. No trees and not much grass. You can get WIFI but you have to pay for it. It should be free for the price they charge. The staff was very nice and the park is convenient to the big flea market and most other businesses. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed in the new section. The trees are small, but they do have a good dog walk area with a place to dispose your dog's deposit. There are quite a few pull-thru sites available. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a terrible place to camp. No trees, no shade, nothing for children to do at this campground, nothing here but a place to rest your head. I don't recommend this place to anyone. I won't return. North campround isn't much better only have ice cream and a community pit that no one uses. Junky place to go. We camped here in a Tent.

Spotless restrooms and showers. Privacy is not the greatest for the showers. No activities
at the campgrouds. Access to the Amish stores and flea market is its biggest draw and all within walking distance. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Friends recommended this park over the others in town because of it’s proximity to the flea market. It’s on the grounds. We had a little difficulty finding the park. The address is listed as 345 N. Van Buren, but the entrance sign shown on the website is actually on W200N. The designers of the park layout have tried to maximize the sites in the available space, the sites are about 12’ apart. However, I’m not sure they ever used an RV. The utilities are arraigned very strangely. If the park was full I wouldn’t have enough water hose to reach the faucet that I think belongs to the site I’m parked in. There were no management types on site to guide us and payment is made by filling out the forms and leaving payment in a box near the entrance. No provision on the form for credit cards and no one answered the phone when I called. If there are restrooms and shower facilities I didn't see them. The park seems to be for fully self-contained units only. In spite of the above criticism, the park is quiet and as billed, close to most of the attractions of Shipshewana. In reading reviews of the other parks, this one is at least as good as those. I do like the fact that they take overnighters who don’t need utilities at a greatly reduced price and they don’t add fee for a third adult. We would probably stay here again if in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Best place to stay and visit largest flea market in Indiana. Back in sites are $27 per day, pull through sites are the rate listed at $33 per day. Dry camp, without hookups, $12 per day back in, $18 per day pull through. No Reservations accepted, 1st come 1st served. Open April 15th through November 15th. Direct access to flea market via foot bridge over drive, much closer location to Shipshewana attractions than the two other RV parks here. No bath house, toilets or dump station, your RV must be self contained. The 900+ vendor flea market is open Tuesday and Wednesday, May through October. Will definitely return again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
