CAMPER SUMMARY PRESENTED BYFord

Ouabache State Park Campground, near Bluffton, Indiana, is a great place for families and outdoor lovers alike. With a mix of tent and RV sites, you’ll find a welcoming atmosphere that encourages campfires and good times under the stars.

Camp sites are tiny

Camp sites are tiny. We had site 88 and it was supposed to be full shade. It was full sun and they have it set up so the camp side of the trailer faces the road. The fire pit is also three feet from the road. Who wants to have a fire next to the road?

Good trails

We enjoyed our stay here. The park has great trails for hiking and biking. The bison exhibit and ranger programs are great too. The campsites are variable, size and privacy definitely depends on the site you book. The potable water is brown and smelly.. be sure to bring your water filter! But we did enjoy our weekend here.

Nice campground for a bike ride.

We have stayed at this park several times.  The camp sites are mostly spaced out for room, but some can get very wet and flooded during a nice rain.  The paved bike trail in the park starts near the campground, and connects with a bike trail along the Wabash River that goes into nearby Bluffton, and is an easy ride.  The bison enclosure is always fun to check out, and the last time we stayed I actually walked to the top of the restored fire tower to take in the view.  We have never used the lake, but plan on taking some kayaks out at some point.

Great Place to Hike!

Love all the trails here, lots of options for how long of a hike you want to take! There’s a surprising variation between more deciduous and coniferous environments depending on the trail you choose. While you’re there, don’t forget to say hello to the bison!

Little and grand

Obliging host/ hostess. Plenty of fire wood. Large camp sites. Small number of sites. Facilities kept clean by DNR and fellow campers. Nice hiking trails, but not challenging.
