Decided to stay last-minute on our way to the East coast. Nice level site, W/E only. Little deck off of the site. Other campers very friendly, they were in the process of remodeling the bathroom and it looked nice. We didn't have the time to take part in any of the amenities but they looked nice, clean grounds and lots to offer. - EllenT

This park was a lovely overnight, one of my favorite stops on our 26 day trip. Quiet, clean, and friendly which are my top three things to look for in a campground. Restrooms were spacious, air-conditioned (a big plus!!), and clean. - calijame

It was a bit tight for a 65 foot length, they had to put a cone behind my unit. The water pressure was good but had a foul smell to it. Had someone knock on my door on Saturday telling me about church service they gave on Sunday. Don't like religion pushed on me, okay to do your own thing but don't pester me. Don't think I'll camp in bible country again. - BigBear

Nice place, although it is a big campground, in the evening it is quiet. Two pools. WiFi was not for free. Sites were not that big, but big enough for us, because we did not have neighbors during our stay. - Bisan

A beautiful setting amongst Pine trees. Very quiet. We were in the deluxe pull thru area. There is an older section that has RVs packed together. Looks like they live here permanently. Swimming pools are very nice. Gated park. - Missouri3

We camped here with our grandkids always take them on one trip a year. This park was a total let down from last years trip in MI at Duck Creek resort in Muskegon MI.
We had a pull-thru at the end of the road one way out only. Will every golf cart that was in use used our site as an exit to the main road behind us.

Camp ground had a lot of seasonal campers who have let their unit run down to junk. I would not camp at this park again. - Jim W1

This is an excellent park with long level pull through sites, wi fi was very slow to the point of being of no use, but the park is clean and very nice, convenient to local attractions we would stay here any time we are in the area. - Bruce and Janette

A very nice campground with nice views and well kept. The staff was very accommodating. - piclif

Spent a week in early August 2016 at our Redwood Rally. The park is very clean and well kept. The only negative is the roads get dusty when dry, and they were dry all week.

Space was very spacious, level, and plenty long for the truck and 41' 5th wheel. - 5th Wheel Cal

Great no frills campground for visiting Shipshewana Area. We had a full hookup back in site with good utilities. The pad was level gravel and 100 ft from the flea market. Some sites are not level and require blocking. A number of sites are taken by vendors at the flea market. Payment is made via drop box at the entrance to the campground, cash or checks are accepted. Credit card payments must be made at the flea market office. - Teacher's Pet

This is an excellent campground for visiting Shipshe!! You must be self contained!! There is NO showers or bathrooms available!! The full hook up back in is $27 a night and pull thru's are $33. They have sites with no hook ups for $12 for back in and $18 for pull thru, excellent for the quick, safe overnight place to lay your head!! We love this park for the simple reason is located right at the Flea Market and within easy walking distance to downtown, for shopping or food!! The reasonable price is awesome for the area, as many of the other places charge way more & you have to drive to get to town or the flea market! They take NO reservations, it's first come, first served, most sites are gravel & level. We are usually the smallest rig in here, lots of BIG motorhomes enjoy this place and it is set up to handle them. - Trainmom

Nothing special except probably the cheapest in the area, no facilities except spotty wifi. Hook ups were all good but as said before have a Y for the water as it is a shared hook up, also check your site choice as some are opposite, like buddy sites. Fills up in the beginning of the week mostly for the flea market within walking distance. - DBLR

Nice, no frills campground. Most sites were shady and appeared to be fairly level. Good location for seeing the sites around the area. Restrooms were in great shape and very clean. - Daryn

First of all, there are 2 Shipshewana Campgrounds in Shipshewana. North is the smaller but in this reviewers opinion the better. The other puts campers right on top of each other, and has much less shade. North is 3 miles north of town. Shady. Bathrooms were spotless. Ice cream store on premises. This is a great Amish community with buggies everywhere! We had a great visit, as our camper is a Jayco, so we were able to take a factory tour while we were here, also. Great services. Artsy town. - Mike from Bama

Very close to town for you walkers. Park is clean and and simple to get settled. The bathrooms are clean along with the showers, but are in need to modernize. Campfires are not allowed, but in one place there is a communal campfire. Friendly staff. Monday nites are usually full because of the Flea Market on Tuesday so call ahead. We have been staying here for 8 years and nothing has changed in that time. No activities for the kids big and small. No pool but that is something we don't use anyway so we can do without. - Scooter & Crew

Stayed here again this year for the FROG Rally and as always the grounds are immaculate. Seeing they just got thru with their fair: it was impressive to see how clean the grounds were, and how fast the fair ground crew were able to set up all the things needed for a rally of close to 800 rigs.

Yes there are trains, but all summer almost every where we stayed we heard trains. Maybe not as close as here, but we got used to the noise.

FYI: Some sites might need extra lengths of sewer hose. - DBLR

Stayed here again for the annual FROG rally. About 800 units this year. Electric and water service very strong for the number of units on the systems. Rained several times during the week but ponding was at a minimum. Elkhart county and city of Goshen operate this campgrounds/fairgrounds like a well oiled machine. Office staff very pleasant and helpful. If you are in this area, whether visiting or business with the rig factories you can't go wrong staying here. - xarmoreddriver

This stay was for a manufacturers rally of approximately 800 RVs, and many sites were very close together and many of my observations would probably not apply to the regular park sites. Pricing would apply however.

From a distance, the normal RV sites appeared to be regular size and with FHUs.

Park is centrally located in Amish country with easy access to many attractions.

Price was for water and electric for a four-night stay prior to a manufacturer's rally.

Full Hookup would have added $7.50 per night extra to the price. - Lakewood90

Called the Encore toll free number and was told PA rate is not valid for fhu sites. Called the cg direct and had no problem reserving a fhu site at the PA rate. Was assigned a site on the phone. On the day of arrival, the park called to ask if I would accept a different site. Current occupant wanted to stay longer. Sure, no problem. Was assigned a site 2 spots down and pretty much the same. Registration was a breeze. Lower gate card reader did not work, but the upper one did. Loop road in the RV area is narrow. Your coach will likely go off the asphalt, but it is not a big drop. Lots of trees, but not too close to the roads. Satellite reception could be a problem though. Only picked up a few channels by antenna. Camplink pay as you go wifi worked very well. Much better than Tengo and cheaper, too. Pool was not open, but the resort fee was still charged. Small fenced in dog area. This place is very big. It is real easy to walk your dog for a half hr on the paved roads, just make sure you pick up after your pet. Several trash dumpsters throughout so you're not carrying the poo for long. Some of the back in sites are really long, easily 60' - 70'. Pull thrus are probably in the 50' range. Some minor road noise from Hwy 120. Would stay here again if in the area. - TH travelers

Well when I reserved apparently I had not chosen a sewer site. Thought I did, but they upgraded for free so no complaints. The roads are narrow and the first site they wanted to put us in was very narrow and slightly sloped. I could have gotten in but went back and asked for a different site. We were in an area of seasonals. The first day we did have to climb on the roof of the rig and cut the low hanging branches back as they were hitting the roof in the wind. The sites are well treed and you are on pretty sandy soil but no sinking even after a few days of rain. The pool is nice as is the beach and lake. The lake access is small and far from where we were camped. All in All it is a decent place for the price. I do wish that TT/Encore/ELS would make an effort with their parks and make the seasonals keep their trailers up. Not a 10 year thing but just not look like they have not been repaired in the last decade. - RVing Along

We came up here for a week to enjoy Shipshewana, and this campground is totally wooded. Where we were at was quiet, but the pine sap gets on your camper, and in it too. Other than that (no one can control nature), the campground was pretty clean. The pool is too small for how many can camp there, and we avoided it the whole weekend we were there. They have a lake you can go swim at (a real lake that is large--not a big water hole), and it was very nice swimming in that. There is a pizza deliver nearby that makes the best pizza we have ever had. A lot of people speed on the golf carts so you have to watch out for them, and kids won't and don't get out of the road when you are driving in or out of the place. Across the road are even more camp sites, but the roads are narrower over there. There were even a lot of Amish camping in the cabins when we were there. The staff is excellent. Super friendly, and we did have to go up front to use the Internet. Overall it is a nice place, and we would go there again. - happy2013camper

Nice site, long and shade. Nice staff. - KCook3

We always stay here when in town for RV repairs.

Owners are very friendly and helpful. There was a rally in town so we only got a 30 amp. No sewer site. Lots of room and we were allowed to pick a site that worked best for us.

Owner lent me a portable air compression to fill up my bike tires and was very helpful. - Tumblewood

The owner was friendly but complained to us about another customer. The road in is easy to navigate, but some of the turns in the park are a little tight. It is right off of I-80 so convenient for overnight stays, and set back far enough that the noise wasn't too bad. Very large park, fairly well maintained. Sites are extremely close together, our living room slide almost hit our neighbors picnic table, which our site didn't have one. When we first pulled in, we couldn't find the sewer hook-up and the cap was missing. The placement of the sewer hook-up is a good 10 feet from the electric hook-up. Sites are grass, and not very level, but long enough for our 37-foot RV, tow dolly and parking. No WiFi. Verizon signal was good. There is a playground, pool, mini-golf, basketball area, and horseshoes. The best part of the stay was the very large fenced in dog park. We stayed one night, August 4, 2016 and paid $41.41 with our Good Sam Discount. Don't think we would stay again considering the price and such narrow lots. - BarrettsHappyTrails

Nice little place with mobile homes being their primary business. Being that there is only 5 sites I would recommend calling first. Clean, friendly, black topped roads and shopping close by, hardware store across the street, McD's down the street as is a grocery, CVS, candy making business and a quaint little town. On a main N/S highway (Detroit St or SR 9) but minimal road noise. Back in gravel sites with grass all around and a wooden deck making for a nice site. For $20 this is a great place but because of no other amenities I only gave it an 8. We will use this place again. - rvngolfer

We stayed for two nights. The park is near Howe, the home of Howe military academy. The entire area has pretty farms and quite a few small lakes. The roads leading to the park were good. The roads throughout the park are gravel. They were washboard when we arrived, however, after a heavy rain, there was a tractor smoothing them most of the morning. There is a large inviting pool, but I did not use the pool. I looked at the bathrooms and showers near the pool, but I did not use them either. They need updating, but looked clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. This is a resort park that is owned by the members. There are a few sites near the front of the park that are rented out to others. The sites are grass with water and electric. Not all of them have 50a, but we were able to rent a 50a site. The electric appeared quite new and modern. Some of the sites are uphill at the back, but we made it work.

Shortly after we arrived it rained a lot in a short period of time, flooding some of the sites along the entry road. Just keep that in mind if it looks like rain. We had no problem with our site, but there was one a couple down from us that had standing water for several hours. The water is well water and is good. The dump station was easy to access and is lower than ground level making it one of the easiest dump stations I have found in a long time! We would stay here again if in the area. It is about 10 miles to Shipshewana. - ahmavic

We pulled in and took a space of our choice. The sites are level and grassy. It was raining when we came in but the ground was firm. The attendant came by after 7 and registered us. They have about 40 spaces for us transients. The park has well over 200 spaces for permanent residents. The entrance road has numerous pot holes when we came in but a tractor is working the road as I write. The pool is pretty and the playground is nice. WiFi is good where we are. Only water and electric are available, with several dump stations on site. Large field of soy beans behind us and the park is filled with large trees. Clear paths for satellite dish pointing. We would stay here again. - Coy R

Spent two nights here visiting RV Surplus stores and going to the Shipshewana Flea Market.
Nice shaded back-in site. Water and Electric only. Restrooms and showers located across the dirt road next to the swimming pool. This appears to be mainly a summer fill-timer / weekend resort.
Passport and other discount clubs park along the fence on the left as you enter. Great value for your money in our opinion.
Only downside was we were not able to pick up any over the air TV.
As mentioned in previous review, reservations now accepted. - thetravelkids
