Rating: 7 7 8 5 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This a basic place to stay for a night or longer if your exploring the area. Very reasonable rate, but don't expect too much. We got a flat level cement pad we drove over the grass to park on. Good Power (50) amp only in our power box, water was clean and strong pressure. WiFi was excellent, quiet place to spend time. No pool, or other items, grass was cut and neat landscape. Office was not the cleanest and smelled like dog, but it doesn't take long to sign in and pay. From outward appearance you might just drive by, but it is actually a great place to stay. We would stay here again when we are going through LaPort. The listing shows no wifi but it is a very strong and powerful wifi, very happy with how well it works. - weighit
Basic parking space with hook-up for overnight. No frills but nice low price. This is 2nd stay here and would stay again. - Tireman9

Michigan City is a short drive away and the Indiana Dunes NL are a bit further. We had a 30 FHU on a slab not quite large enough for us. Very good TV reception with bat-wing and Verizon broadband connected at 4G. - Bob and Inga

Rating: 7 1 6 4 1 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Old park in need of some TLC. The full timers do not take pride in their unit and the road and sites are in need of updating. It served the purpose but probably would not stay again. - Psushu
The sites are on top of each other with the park allowing the two vehicles to park in and block access roads.
Written rules such as quiet hours were not enforced, so if you are a person who doesn't care about anyone else, this is the place for you.
The park really should post a picture on their banner part of their website with the pool full of people literally shoulder to shoulder...so it is obvious what type of place it is.
Lots of terracing within each campsite, it was too easy to step off of an 8"x 8" while plugging in utilities and fall into your neighbor's picnic table or awning support.
Can I say insane? I would swear every single person who camps with a gazillion children stay here with NO respect for boundaries. At all. There has been a constant stampede through my site...and when I asked all the interlopers if they minded if I brought my dog over to pee and take a dump in their campsite...they looked at me like there was something wrong with me. But - they had no qualms about traipsing through mine - grown adults of little children... About as rude as they come. Even the office came by and told them to knock it off. So..NEVER returning here. The ultimate in rude camping I have ever witnessed in the 63 years I have camped. - weavingstudioView more reviews and a full list of amenities for Michigan City Campground »We arrived after hours (just) and our site package was taped to the office door. However - when we got to the site, it was occupied! When confronted, the occupant said he was "just leaving". No cable but good WiFi - but when we asked for the WiFi password (by phone) were told "this isn't a hotel" and hung up on. A call back got the password begrudgingly. Sites are level and access is easy but they didn't appear very well maintained and there seemed to be a lot of long-term residents. Bathrooms were a LONG walk away - we didn't explore! Price seems high for the level of service and amenities. - Limey51

Rating: 2 8 7 10 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: I've camped in over 50 campgrounds and this was one of my least favorite. It's nearly all seasonals, who were welcoming and friendly, with somewhere in the neighborhood of 6 sites available for visitors. The reservation process was simply a matter of getting someone to answer the phone, and no confirmation was provided other than being told my name was "on the board." At check in we waited for someone to find the person who works in the office. Our site was basically in someone's yard and the fire ring was within reach of their tethered dogs. There's a pool but it was packed with regulars who were throwing a party. No other amenities. The restaurant is not affiliated with the campground but is within walking distance. - McNamara's Band
Friendly, helpful with directions and took us to site. Had a 4th of July celebration on July 1st for weekend campers. Afternoon, a band was playing at the pool pavilion, and an evening meal offered by the park with meat, buns and serving needs provided, just bring a dish to share. Very nice. Nice pool and neat surroundings. Well kept. Tight turns on the well maintained roads. - StLouieEd
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Lakeside RV Resort »This was a nice clean park. The owners were some of the nicest people I have meet yet RV'ing. The town of New Carlisle is small, so getting use to the small town life maybe a little different. You could see Hudson Lake from campground. It's a clean lake, a good size for boating and water stuff. The park has stuff to do every weekend. The only bad thing was the train tracks were very close. Trains do come through all night. They don't blow a horn at night, but you do hear the car's on the tracks. If it was not for the trains, this park would have gotten a higher rating. We would come back with train's and all. - rv1

Rating: 1 1 2 4 4 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We were going to stay for the weekend. We drove in, looked around; my wife used the restroom. We left. The place was so run down and dirty it was disgusting . It looked more like a shanty town than a campground . They have a great website but is VERY DECEIVING! This place looks NOTHING like the pictures. BEWARE! - workinman
Pool was green. Office wasn't open when supposed to be. Our site that was reserved was given to someone else. Mini golf was in disrepair. Bathrooms dirty and falling apart. Sites were not marked clearly. So unsure which power post was for our site. People driving both cars and golf carts while drinking. There was a DUI where the driver drove off the road, got stuck on a rock/tree stump, manager was called and they never came. Quiet hours not enforced. If you are looking for a family campground this is not the place for you. - Jenny42093
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Mini Mountain Campground »This place is not worth the money. New campsites were put in the middle of a road. There were no picnic tables or fire rings. The pool was not heated, like the website claims. The dumpsters were not emptied before the busy weekend. People speeding in their vehicles. I'm shocked no kid was hit. No rules enforced. One campsite had a hunk of junk in his yard. No activities for kids. No rules applied. The owners don't care about anything but making money. Dont camp here, spend your money elsewhere. - Campinlady

Rating: 6 9 8 9 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We camped in a 34 foot motor home. We were in a pull through site close to the office. It had poured and the gravel site was wet and soggy. We turned down the first site for being flooded. WiFi was OK. The entrance road switched suddenly from paved to gravel with many potholes, bushes and shrubs needed to be trimmed. Although it was on I-30 we were not disturbed by the sounds. It was very convenient but over priced for a campground that needs to be updated. - rvflight
This campground is older but pretty and clean. They were friendly. Lots grass back-in sites. Pull thru sites are gravel and fairly level. Power was excellent. TV was good with antenna. - saw2
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Last Resort Campground »We used this as an overnight stop on a westward trip. It is close to US-30 and does have traffic noise. We had a shaded site and Wi-Fi was quite good. Owner was very friendly and helpful. Sites along the small pond were all seasonals and folks there were friendly. We walked around and there is a nice playground, horseshoes, volleyball, and other activities. But this is not a destination campground. Some of the negatives other than the noise: sites at back were set up for double hookups with one camper in front of another and no easy way to get in and out; low tree branches at some sites would preclude taller rigs or hamper driving; entrance way is off US-30 and over train tracks that have a bump. If you are in the area and need a spot for a night or two, this is a good choice. We'd stop here again, but not if it were busy and we had to take a double hook at the back. - Too-wow

Rating: 10 8 9 7 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Only stayed one night but it was a very nice campground. We arrived late and had some trouble figuring out which sites were open as a number were taken but had no tag hanging on the pole. The host was very helpful and was able to give me a list of sites we could use that would fit our pop up. Site was very convenient to bath house, which had multiple private separate showers. The mosquitoes were pretty bad when we arrived, a screened enclosure would be a good thing to pack. - TDC
Half price with federal Senior Pass. You must pay with a credit card at a machine near the entrance. I don't believe that cash is an option. First come - first served, no reservations. There are two loops. I stayed in the Mather loop. Shady sites. No hookups. The camp ground did not fill on a week night in mid-September. Weekends might tell a different story. Water is available at a few pumps scattered around the campground. Clean flush toilets. Unusual for the Nat'l Park Service, the campground had showers. Unfortunately, my shower never had hot water. Plenty of privacy with dense under story beneath the trees. Some road noise from a nearby highway but not bad. I would stay here again. - Teardrop11

Rating: 8 4 2 6 2 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We've been coming hear every year for 6 years, sometimes twice a year. The park has improved each year since we first came. The people that run it are sometimes difficult to understand, but they are very nice and help in any way they can. The park is very quiet even on holidays. The revelry stops a little after dark, so everyone can get a good nights sleep. It is well off the beaten path, no traffic noise. You can hear the train sometimes off in the distance, but I find it soothing not annoying. Will likely continue to come as long as we are able. - mjlayton
Indiana Dunes State Park was full so I ended up staying here. I was under a tree and the site was fairly level. The owner said the hiking trails were closed due to limbs being down & the pool was closed because of recent treatment with chemicals. I didn't use the facilities because I was alone and a little spooked by the obviously lived-in trailers that were very unkempt. Not all of them were that way, but at least three were a mess. It's obvious they're trying because they've built new cabins and new bath houses, but why put your money into that if you're going to leave all the construction rubble behind? The owner told me to look for my own site and if the electric box says OK, it works. Well, I looked and there were no signs anywhere. Fortunately, a worker came around and he tested it for me. Sure enough, dead. So, he tested another and that one was fine. There's a playground for the kids and a pool but it wasn't open. All in all I wouldn't say it was a bad visit but I sure didn't want to stay another day or night. I wouldn't recommend it. - Givmeabr8k
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Sand Creek Campground »Stopped here for a night. It is about 3 miles off the interstate driving through a neighborhood and cornfields. The turn into the campground is a bit tight for a big rig. The sign is old and advertised a religious camp. The office is sparse, only a desk and a few things for sale. The person in the office was Asian and did not speak much English. He did not ask how big our rig was, just said he had water and electric available. We told him we were over 40ft with our tow vehicle so he gave us a grass site with water and electric. The site was only 20 amp so we asked for another which was 30amp. The electric quit working after about an hour and the office was closed, so we had no power which was hard on our dog. The restrooms were ok. We would not stay here again. - mohocamper

Rating: 9 8 9 3 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Here is everything you need to know about Potato Creek! We stayed in a tent for 5 nights and did just about everything we could. Bike trails are wonderful! The paved one is a wonderful downhill ride that takes you from the beach clear out to the main gate if you keep going. The mountain bike trails are well maintained and very fun; slightly narrow. The walking trails are also well maintained and there's many to choose from. The beach is very nice with a volleyball net and a great view of Worster lake. The seaweed is cleaned up to the ropes but many people swam out past it with no problem. The bathrooms are clean, well stocked with toilet paper, showers have hot water as well as shelves and curtains. They are also conveniently located. The general store is well stocked from air mattresses to ice cream. We even found Velveeta cheese for mac n cheese when ours melted!! You pay $7 at the main gate to get in and follow the signs wherever you may be headed. This is the only in-park fee you must pay. All trails, docks, launches, etc are included in the $7. (our vehicle was LOADED with bikes, kayaks, and tons inside and we didn't get checked once for anyone wondering although rangers do ride around consistently). Bike rentals are $20 a day but require a photo ID or $50 deposit. Kayak/canoe rentals are $10/2hr. We had no luck fishing nor had anyone else that we talked to so if you're looking to fish, good luck. They will jump but none were biting. We tried different piers, times of day, kayaking different spots, no luck. Campsites are located directly next to each other but are fairly large and everyone keeps to themselves. Electric powers plenty of things at each site, including an A/C unit we had in our tent! They also have a separate campground and set of trails for horse lovers who want to bring their furry friends! All in all it was the perfect adventure for our vacation and even with hundreds of people around, we felt alone a lot and got lost plenty of times! I definitely recommend the paved bike trail, the beach, and the walking trails up to steam boat hill! - dfortner
Nightly rate does not include the $9 entry fee (one time fee) for out of state residents. The $9 fee applies only to motorhome if towed car is hooked up; otherwise you have to pay for both vehicles. Sites are 30 amp electric only. Site 74 is spacious, gravel/grass mix and level, but many sites have a slight grade. Verizon cell/MiFi reception was good. Good satellite television reception at our site. Trees may block reception at many sites. We stayed for five nights to visit family in South Bend and will stay again. There are low hanging branches along the entrance road and the campground road. The campground is popular on summer weekends and a reservation is probably needed. - Dave51
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Potato Creek State Park »Wonderful state park with very friendly staff who keep the campground spotless. Bathrooms were constantly being cleaned, even when they didn't need it! Nice lake (Worster) for swimming and fishing (although we have never caught much here). They have Osprey that inhabit the lake area and are a pleasure to watch. Decent easy hiking in the park and during the summer months there are programs at the Nature Center which are interesting and well-thought-out. It's a bit of drive for us to get here (we live in Chicago and the drive to Indiana always stinks) but it's worth it. We'd definitely stay again. - EllenT

Rating: 7 8 1 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We found EZ Kamp on Google Maps. We just needed a place to stop for the night with electric. We called ahead since we would probably be arriving after dark. The owner was helpful and friendly. He said just come on in and ring the bell as they live upstairs. It was after 9 pm by the time we got there. No problem getting to site. It was an all grass pull-thru with no trees to avoid. We didn't even unhook for the night. The location is very convenient to the highway. We've read reviews before about highway noise. If a park is near the highway you should expect that and we aren't bothered by that. We would stay here again if we're in the area. - Pphil
Stayed 3 nights. Found that things have improved greatly since our stay 2 years ago. Electric and water were very good (we use a surge protector and a water pressure regulator). The new owners are working very hard to improve this Campground and their efforts are appreciated. Will stay here again. - loneranger
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for EZ Kamp »New owners as of April 2014. By their own admission, they were unaware of how to run a campground but are open to suggestions. We stayed 3 nights to visit friends in nearby Culver so didn't use any facilities. From the road it looks like a lovely park but many of the sites haven't been used in months. No gravel or concrete pads, tables, etc. Pool was being redone so not usable. Roads not well marked and office is hard to find. Felt the $30 + tax very high for what we received. Will check out other options when next in the area. - KarenK
