This is a really nice campground in Amish country. The campground is HUGE and has lots to do. There is a fishing lake with a lighted fountain, free mini golf, free frisbee golf, free table tennis and pool tables, swimming pool, basketball courts, horseshoes, etc. Lots and lots of activities. My #1 criteria when choosing a campground is clean bathrooms with privacy in the showers, and this campground definitely meets that criteria. There are two shower houses, one of which is brand new while the other is older, but both of them are very well maintained. There were only a couple of things I wasn't crazy about. First, our site... The full hookup sites seem to be packed in pretty tightly, and I would have liked a little more room. And, I thought the price was a little high at $45 a night, although with all the amenities I can see why they charge it. (We don't have kids and didn't use most of the activities, so it felt to us like we overpaid a little.) Overall, though, this is a great campground. We will definitely go back for another visit, and now that we have the lay of the land, we'll choose a more private water and electric site rather than full hookup. If you have kids, I think you'll find this to be a good value with all there is to do. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
The campground is set on rolling hills. New gravel in sites. We had no problem leveling a pop-up and 32' TT. You are parked on a hill, so all sites lean some. The two restrooms and showers by the full hook up sites were new and clean. The restrooms in the W&E part were old. Playgrounds were nice. It was not very busy even with nice weather. The two main problems are the price and non-campers. If you go before or after the summer months, it's only $30. There were non-campers there for a music festival. I know they could use the "free" mini golf. I think they could also use the swimming pool but, I'm not sure about that. They were not walking through the campground, only at the pavilion and golf areas. I would go here again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Our family loved Whispering Hills. Although our kids lived at the large and clean pool all week, there was plenty of other things to do: free 9-hole miniature golf, Frisbee' golf, basketball court, volleyball, petting zoo, playground, fishing pond, paddle boats, and small game room. The friendly and helpful staff keep the campground very well maintained. Everything is clean and neat. The bathrooms and showers were convenient and clean. There is even a laundromat on-site. They have a small store that surprisingly has a lot of items we needed during the week (including smores). There is a lot to do in the area, including canoeing, horseback riding, Amish food (we particularly liked the Swiss Chalet restaurant in Charm), and small town shopping. My wife and I found it very relaxing and our kids had a blast. The only criticism is that we had three tents and some of the lots were narrow and uneven. The staff allowed us to move to a better site, however. The kids (four girls ages 14-16) want to go back for two weeks next year. We highly recommend it to others. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Nice campground, gravel roads. Our site was very uneven! Some sites have alot of walk though traffic! We camped here in a Motorhome.
We have camped here several times. A real nice family park. They have free minature golf, and a small animal farm for children to view. Their apple dumplings are the best I have had. They always have weekend entertainment that is free with your paid camping. I would give them a higher rating, if it weren't for the high prices, but I guess it keeps out the "riff-raft". Will be back again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Large campground on the edge of Holmes county. We paid $30 for a full hook up during fall season. Sites are either gravel or grass. The sites close to the office and pool have young trees so there isn't a lot of shade there. The shade sites are located in what seems to be an older section of the campground below the frisbee golf area, although it looks like the owners have made some improvements (upgrading electric) to those recently. They have a nice pool, clean bathrooms, and showerhouses, a game room, mini golf (included in price & new in 2005), a fishing lake, on site restaurant, campstore, basketball, volleyball, horseshoes & picnic shelters, primitive and deluxe cabins. They have a restaurant on site that's open during the summer season & has breakfast buffet on Friday and Saturday mornings. There's even a herd of goats in the fenced area next to the office that are very friendly. Local Amish come through the campground on weekend mornings selling pies and pasteries. It's located in a very pretty, rolling hill area of the county. Campground staff was pleasant and helpful. This is a nice campground that would serve as a convenient base for exploring the Amish attractions and shops in the area. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this campground to others. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Over all we like this CG, but there are a few things they could do better. They accept no discounts. The putt putt is free. For the price of a pull through premium site, I would have expected it to be paved, it wasn't very level and was too narrow. There are lots of open areas but the campers seem to be too close together. The staff are very helpful and friendly. We will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The park is very nice and well maintained; the people are friendly and we really enjoyed
it...The only thing we did not like was the sites are not very level and the water,electric and sewer connections are shared by 4 campsites (we had to go to walmart to get another water hose and an extended sewer line. We would stay there again..the area is beautiful and the campground is easy to get in to. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Super clean! We liked this campground and may return. It is located near to Berlin/Sugar
Creek, OH which is in the heart of Amish country. It was quiet and the staff seemed to keep track of things. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The campground had a nice location & clean. Lots of things for kids, playground, pool and several animals on the grounds. Tent sites were a problem, either next to a ledge not child friendly, or not at all level. We slept in the area for bigger trailers to find a level area, by the front of the campground. One morning the business that is located by the park entrance started up, before sun up. A metal shop of some type and made an ton of noise in addition to a very large bonfire to burn their extra wood. We camped here in a Tent.

In the Amish area of Northeast Ohio (Millersburg, Berlin, Walnut Creek, Sugar Creek). Used this campground as a "base". Wonderful campground. Some "year-round" weekenders. Great people. Clean and well maintained. Nice pool area. Excellent for kids. About 300 acres of property that is great for walking through rolling hills. Will use again and recommend highly if you are camping in this area. We camped here in a camper.
