The Best Camping Near Delphi, Indiana

Very nice campground. Small and well kept. Management seems delightful. Helped friends of mine set up for the very first time. They walk and show you to your site. Not all sites have full hook ups. Shhh keep this place a secret! It has a bunch of 1800s style buildings to explore like a post office, railroad building, school house, all kinds of stuff and a boat-shaped play place.

Peace and quiet

Heading south out of Elkhart, we happened on this great little campground (CG). We called two hours out and they had a site that would fit our 39’ 5th wheel. We followed our RV GPS and Google maps instructions to the city park and CG area. When we came down the road to the CG we were unsure of the CG location, but it is located right behind the interpretive/conference center building. We were in FHU site C, which was technically a pull through. However, you have to turn in front of the interpretive/conference center and go around the building to be able to pull through the site at the back of the building. But, there’s a pine tree that is overgrown and could have scratched the side of our fifth wheel. Since we had already drove past the interpretive/conference center and were in front of site C, we just backed in to the spot, which was an easy back in and easily fit our rig and F-450. We got 3 bars on Verizon and 4 OTA channels, which included CBS and CW prime channels. We walked our pups along the canal and enjoyed the historic displays and buildings in this small park. We were soon joined by the campground hosts who arrived for their 4th season and they were very nice. There are 4 FHU sites of which A is the camp host. All the sites will take rigs up to 40’. There are also electric and tent sites as explained in the CG picture attached. There are walking trails and other interesting exhibits to explore. This CG is definitely a hidden gem. Too bad we only had an overnight stay.

Great Little Campground

We stopped here for a night and you should really spend a few days if you have the time.  There is plenty to see and do. With miles of bike trails it is easy to see everything without having to drive. 

With only a handful of sites but far enough off the beaten path it's not crowded. This would be a fun stop with kids as there are activities right in the park. 

Great park in a small town. 

We loved this camp ground! It was the first one we booked on our RV trip and we were a bit inexperienced at first how the hook ups work, but Roger the camp site host helped us immediately, even though we arrived super late and he explained everything to us and was just so kind! The camp ground is small, private, very peaceful and in the middle of historic buildings fr the 1800s! Definitely recommend :)

Peaceful, lovely & historic!

Review 

We booked a primitive site, on a Friday night.  We arrived and were the only ones in the primitive area, which for us was awesome.  We got set up and was able to go for a walk and check out the trails, buildings, and the village. Everything was perfect.  The host was so friendly, she came over and talked and gave us some background on the location, and things we could do for future visits.  The shower, and bathrooms were nice, and clean, as was all areas of the campground.
