Beautiful, well-maintained campground with roomy sites. Bathhouses are sparkling clean. Hosts are friendly and helpful if you need assistance. Campground store is well stocked, and the trail around the lake is a beautiful 3.1 mile walk. We had a wonderful stay and will be back.

The children on electric bikes are out of control. They race around the A loop at dangerous speeds, even at night is different directions. It's only a matter of time until there is a serious accident. I observed riders on a 3 wheel bike standing behind the driver as he drove around the loop at night. Even in the day, children of preschool age were driving small motorized bikes in and out of groups of walkers who were in the way. Their speeds were faster than any driver of a car would dare. You need to get control of this problem. The hosts by them selves cannot fix it. The last day of Memorial Day weekend, there were gangs of kids of all ages wandering the campground well into "quiet hours" yelling, assembling in groups of up to 20 and roaming the street while bikes drove around them in the dark.

We absolutely love Indian Boundary and the escape from the noise and technology. We are sad to say that this was the worst trip we experienced…a church group from Knoxville arrived the same day with multiple families and their children thinking how wonderful this experience is for the kids! Unfortunately the adults forgot to teach their children to respect others! The kids were running in and out of ours and others sites, screaming and screeching without any discipline from their parents. During the day it was peaceful but when they came back to their sites for the evening it was no longer peaceful. What we have always enjoyed the most was the peace and quiet, sitting by the campfire, listening to the birds, gazing at the stars but not this time. You could hear other campers yelling at the kids to shut up after repeated nights of this…actually it was the fourth night in a row! I never get headaches but had to take some Tylenol for a headache from listening to this noise after the fourth night. I understand that “quiet time “ is at 10pm but this was a bit much and NOBODY reprimanded these children! I also understand that this church group brings their children to Indian Boundary every year during their first week of summer vacation. All I can say is we will never make a reservation this time of year (Memorial Day week) ever again. Maybe this group can be notified how disruptive and disrespectful their behavior was to others trying to enjoy their vacations as well.
