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.
