Johnny Appleseed Campground

This small, well-kept Campground is a Fort Wayne city park surrounded by industrial &amp; commercial businesses. The Park is clean with the most modern, clean shower/bath house I’ve seen. Unfortunately, the restroom is located across the street from the campground. The sites were occupied by large RVs but we only saw 2 people sitting outside - no campfires, no cooking, no campers. This was just an over night stopover for us so we didn’t care. I suppose this Campground is used by seasonal workers who just sleep &amp; eat dinner there at the end of their workday. The Campground is never dark with streetlights and and the ambient light from surrounding businesses. I’m sure this campground serves a purpose, just not my purpose.This is definitely NOT a destination.

Looked like a ghost town

I grew up in Ft. Wayne, so when I think of this campground I always think of Johnny Appleseed Festival. We have recently purchased an RV and plan to use it full time. We wanted to stay in town prior to traveling. 

During our stay, I continued to forget that I was in the city. The park is connected to the river greenway which is a beautiful walk along the river!

I was also impressed with how clean the bathrooms and showers were!

Hidden in Plain Sight

Very straightforward reservation and check in process. The grounds are nice with a lovely river right across the street. Bathrooms are A+ with a code for only campers. I would definitely return here.

Short trip for the zoo

We only did an overnight here, but it’s a decent campground. The proximity to downtown and everything else in the area is a huge plus. Showers/restrooms are locked with a code and very clean. I didn’t use the showers, but they look above average compared the the other dozen I’ve seen this summer.

Decent place and friendly

We stayed here for one night on our way to a further destination.  It was nice and quiet even though it’s in the middle of town.  We would’ve enjoyed it more if the hosts hadn’t moved us to a front location by then.  The back area sites 2-8 were so peaceful looking and walking back to that area and through it was like walking into a completely different place.  The key lock entry bathroom/shower house was the nicest cleanest we’ve used.  We would stay here again if we could be guaranteed sites 2-8. 

In town small peaceful setting 

Let me start out by qualifying my 5-star review by saying it is site specific. Our site was one of the more private which earned the 5-stars. But, even in a different site it’s a great place to stay for a few nights as you explore the area. 
Easy in and out, good electric service, water at the site, good Verizon signal, easy dump station access, and friendly camp hosts.
Johnny Appleseed (John Chapman) burial site is next to this county park. And he is celebrated each Fall within the park with a festival.
