Bixler Lake Campground

The managers, Austin and Kimberly with their kids, give this place a true hometown Indiana feel. There are usually vacant spots, making it a great weekend or seasonal stop. A library and second beach sit across the lake, and despite what feels to be a wooded lots on a lake, Kendallville shopping is close by. Unlike many packed campgrounds, this is an easy stopover while traveling the USA.

What a gem of a campground. The lot was large and well kept. The people running the office were very friendly and one of their son's dropped off some firewood to us no charge. Even though it was a mistake it was appreciated and we bought more so we could have a fire both nights of our stay. The lake is clean and clear. The jiki g trails seem well kept. We were here for my significant other's school reunion and camping within two miles of the event was just great. The campground was quiet and everyone was very friendly. If you are planning a trip to the Kendallville area, consider staying at Bixler Lake campground. I'm glad we did.

This is a great place to take the family camping, the beach was clean, new and clean playgrounds. the facilities were clean and well stocked, has nice trails that are kids friendly and you can take a wagon. The staff running the place are very nice and accommodating. We will definitely be back!

Went camping this past July 4th from Sunday to Sunday, we had lots of space, the family running the place are so nice and there to help or answer any questions. The bathrooms and showers were clean and stocked. The beaches were nice, no geese poop, they playgrounds were well keepers up and very nice! Fireworks were amazing and the campsites were nice and very roomy. We will be back next year!

I have an RV and they have water and electric hook-up, plus a dump station at the entrance. They have limited 50 Amp electric, but we were lucky enough to get one of those. The park is fantastic! Kayaks for rent, nice sized lake, many well groomed trails, and easy access to everything in town. Location feel like you are in the country, but you are actually right in town. Kendallville is quaint and we enjoyed bicycling around. The cabins look nice from the outside, but we didn't have access to any. Great place to spend some time!
