Indiana Beach Camp Grounds

We stayed the weekend at the campground for the first time this past weekend. Long story short, we had a good time, but there could be a lot of improvements as well. Read on for details. The positives..It is a very cool place with plenty to do. It is kid-friendly. It was super easy taking the trolly to Indiana Beach and back. The sites were large and clean. It was not overly wooded. The camp store was awesome and had everything we needed. The negatives..the bathhouses didn’t receive much attention during our stay. The floors stayed muddy and slick the whole time. They were so bad that my 5 year old told me to bring a potty chair next time so she doesn’t have to use them again. We also ran in to stalls without toilet paper several times. Then there was the noise level. It is more of a wild crowd than what I’ve seen in other campgrounds. Golf carts blasting rap music, people up hollering until 2-3am (the quiet time wasn’t enforced), and 7 police cars showed up on Saturday night for some sort of disturbance in the back of the park. The sites in the back were definitely the loudest/craziest. I don’t think it’d be a great area for people that like their peace and quiet. My son hit his head at the splash pad and had a pretty nasty bump from it. The lifeguard had disappeared about 5 minutes before, and we never saw her again. Or any lifeguard for that matter. The day before, a little girl busted her mouth open at the splash pad and the male lifeguard working just sat there and watched everyone else helping her. My friend had to go ask him for the first aid kit he had. The camp store cashier clearly didn’t enjoy her job and was cursing at her malfunctioning cash register the whole time I was in line. Lastly and maybe most frustrating was visitor parking. You’re only allowed 1 vehicle per site and all others have to park in a small grass area by the office. However, there were never any spots available. This only left a small parking lot in front of the office, but when we parked there, we and several others received parking violations telling us to park at our sites, where we were also told we couldn’t park (we had more than 1 vehicle). We did have a safe, good time but would need to see some improvement before we booked again.

Electric for our campsite was broken, and they sent someone right away to fix it. I am very pleased with that service. Only 3 stars because the campsite itself is busy, crowded, and loud. The front gate was barely functioning, and we didn'tget much help from staff with that, and the check-in staff weren't great. Our kids loved the splash pad, which was very clean. Really wish they would have had a fenced-in dog area. The nearby amusement park is very old and not clean, but our kids loved that as well.

Great location!!! The splash pad for kids is amazing. Huge campgrounds but…. The bathrooms/ bathhouses are absolutely disgusting… for all the $$$$ coming here they could definitely do better. Super disappointed. I couldn’t imagine tent camping and relaying on those bathrooms. Even my children didn’t want to use them.

The annual campers make you feel like an outsider, and the noise till 4am is insane. The security does nothing about it. When you tell them what happened they act like that could not have been going on. I can honest say that we will NEVER CAMPER HERE AGAIN...............
