Looking for a good family camp? DO NOT, REPEAT DO NOT go here. We are avid campers and like to tent camp numerous times a year at many locations, this has to be the worst camping experience ever. We had to leave 2 days early because of the extreme noise. Of course no refund for the nights were given. Two other camp sites, for both nights we were there, played their music at high volume (and they had top notch speakers). Our tent VIBRATED until 3am. Security would do nothing.

We had to leave 2 days early because of the extreme noise. Of course no refund for the nights were given. Two other camp sites, for both nights we were there, played their music at high volume (and they had top notch speakers). Our tent VIBRATED until 3am. Security would do nothing. When you check in, they give a list of rules, not a single one was followed by 99% of the campers, and management and security did NOTHING to enforce them. You had children as young as 8 or 9 driving golf carts around the whole camp with no adult supervision. We witnessed two accidents where they hit other carts and a tree. Children dodging out into the road from behind RVs with no parents stopping them. Dogs running everywhere unleashed. But the worst part was the music. I have been to quieter rock concerts. If it had just been one site it would have been bad, but we had numerous types of music competing to see who could be the loudest. We had to shout to each other in our tent just to hear what the other was saying. Oh and the music sites were NOT our neighbors, they were across the loop (at least one city block away). We filed a complaint with management it had gotten so bad. Another gentleman in there even told them he too could hear the music and we were on separate sides of the camp. Management told us security would be in to talk to us shortly and asked us to put it in writing. Security never showed up at the office. After about a half hour, she asked for my complaint and warned us she had our personal information given at check-in and instructed us to go back to our site as she had customers to check in. The tone of her voice felt threatening. Nobody from security ever showed and the music just kept getting louder and louder. We finally just packed up and left because there was no enjoyment for us. The ONLY reason it has one star is negative stars were not an option.

We had the worst experience at this campsite. We camped for 29 days in Colorado, Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa and Indiana (2 other sites from this). This was by far the worst. We had booked the site for 7 days, but we could not stay even one day. The facilities were bad with showers not working well. There were inappropriate graffiti on the shower facility. We complained to the office and asked that we be refunded for we could not stay. However, we were declined. We had to give up on our 7 day reservation... Read More

We received an email from their office apologizing for the inconvenience but did not care to refund the 6 days of payment made about a month before arriving. We shared this story with our friends in IN, who also confirmed that this campground has deteriorated in quality during the last few years.
We left and stayed in the Sugarcreek campground for the remaining 6 nights with a new reservation.
Our best experience was Monkey Island campground in Afton, OK followed by Sugarcreek Campground, Crawfordsville, IN Timberline campground, Waukee, IA Jellystone park at Larkspur, CO Campaway, Lincoln, NE Cottonwood RV park, Columbia, MO and Monroe lake campground, Bloomington, IN.
