The sites themselves are lovely and well appointed. We camped in Loop A and loved being so close to the beach and lake. The camp store was a delight. We appreciated that this campground is so family-friend, but on the downside, there were kids riding bikes within ten feet of our tent and yelling until 1am every night. It was disappointing that the quiet hours were not respected. Also, if you're a tent camper, be prepared to be surrounded by RVs, some of which have glowing lights on all night. It felt less like sleeping in the woods and more like being in a Walmart parking lot.

The only issue is the bulky/Karen in front of us who bullied a 4 year old learning to use a water sticker (next to her site so she would shake her head anytime anyone used it) and kept telling camp hosts about dogs barking when her dog kept barking too, but we actually tried to and got our dogs to stop but when she got caught with her dog barking she told them off and acted like she was above them and said "she's (her dog) fine". Like her dog is allowed to bark but others can't. And then when we left she smiled wickedly and waved. She thought she got us kicked out or something. First encounter with a campsite Karen in my lifetime of camping.

Other than that sour taste, the Campground is very well maintained, clean, breathtakingly beautiful, and the camp store owner and employees (possibly him and his wife) were very sweet, especially to the kids, and professional, even when there was a snake hiding in the storage room. It was a good laugh for all.

I always recommend Indian Boundary.

We had two great camping spots in loop A 3 and 4. Nice and roomy. The only real complaint we all had is that the campground hosts decided that 8 am was the best time to close the bathhouse for cleaning. 8 am is when the campers who need to use the bathroom first thing in the morning is absolutely the WORST time to close the bathroom!! It may be the “best” time for the campground host to close the boathouse for cleaning but the absolute worst time for the folks who are camping at Indian Boundry. It just so happens we camped there last fall Oct’22 and the same schedule for cleaning was in place. Please change the time for cleaning to a more obvious time when people aren’t using your bath facilities. Say noon or early afternoon possibly?? Campers are paying good money to stay here. And cleaning the bathhouse at such an incredibly inconvenient time, 8am is unacceptable! Thanks , George and Kathy Frederick

Second time camping here, seemed a bit quieter at nights and mornings. Nice campground store with all the extras you need. Nice listening to the whipper wills at night.

Our families favorite place to camp. Just be mindful of the rules about hammocks ( I don’t agree with them but it is what it is ) also they clean the bathrooms daily from 8-9am so be aware of that.

Beautiful, well kept park, Everyone was friendly. Very quiet setting, just what I was looking for. There is no cell service, and no internet service, and very limited antenna tv. Great place to go unplug. Theres a nice 3.5 mile trail around the lake.

My partner and I absolutely adore this campground! Between the hospitality and the scenery it’s by far one of our favorite places to visit and relax.

Campground is awesome,one of my favorites but with no sewer hookups and the dump station a good distance away makes it a little less enjoyable,camp hosts are awesome!

We had an amazing time, made a lot of memories with my grandchildren.
From riding bikes around the lake, walking to the store to get ice cream, sitting around the campfire eating s’mores.. it was perfect.
