Pros:
-Bathrooms were super clean.
-Individual showers w/ hot water!
-Campsites were close but secluded enough to feel comfortable.
-Everyone was quiet and respectful
-The staff was amazing! (We checked in late and I received a call with great directions on how to find the park from one of the staff members!)
-About 30 minutes away from Holiday World. We opted to stay here because 2 nights cost less than one night at a hotel.
Con:
-No cell service. (Some might call that a pro, LOL!)
-The closest Walmart was a half hour away.
Overall, we had a great experience and the cons are more minor inconveniences. I’d stay here again.

It had been several years since I’ve been to this campground. I used to go there when I was younger and I always enjoyed it. It is better and the same in all the right ways. Super friendly folks, clean bath houses, spacious beautiful campsites, we just really enjoyed it. No access to cellular was a little bit of a challenge but only because of worrying about whether coming through. My weather radio would not even pick up. The campground host came around and spoke with everyone and told them that they would come by and let people know if there was any severe weather that warranted sheltering and where th shelters were located. I thought was really nice.
