The Elkhart RV Resort by Rjourney in Middlebury features drive-in sites with both 30-amp and 50-amp service options, while Shipshewana Trading Place RV Park provides big-rig friendly spaces with full hookups from April through October. At Chain O' Lakes State Park Campground, RV sites include water and electric hookups with a sanitary dump station available on premises. "Twin Mills is a really beautiful and quiet RV Campground, with tall trees in Northern Indiana. There are several sections in the park, some more wooded and narrow sites, some are more spread out."

    Seasonal considerations affect availability throughout the region. Many parks require advance reservations during summer and fall weekends, especially near Amish Country attractions in Shipshewana. Cell service varies between campgrounds, with one reviewer noting "T-Mobile had good signal strength and bandwidth, AT&T was not as good but still doable" at Twin Mills. Most RV-friendly campgrounds provide trash collection, shower facilities, and toilets, though amenities decrease at more basic locations. Larger parks typically include additional services like firewood sales and on-site markets. Several campgrounds accommodate pets, though specific restrictions may apply. Winter camping options are limited, with most facilities closing between late October and mid-April.

      Chain O' Lakes State Park Campground

      We LOVED this campground! It was nearing peak fall foliage (Oct 15), which made it even more beautiful. The camp store saved us several times when we’d forgotten things, though it’s only open Friday-Sunday. They offered wagons to help get firewood to the campsite, which meant the kids could go up there themselves to purchase it, which they liked. (The store does military discounts, which was an added bonus!) The trails were marked well and made me feel confident taking the kids on hikes to the lakes. We attempted fishing, but with the cold night temps we didn’t catch anything. We did have an amazing experience with 5 swans swimming right by us! It was fun to see all the Halloween decorations that people had up on their sites. I didn’t expect that. The bathrooms were conveniently located and clean and stocked with toilet paper. The kids had fun at the playgrounds with lots of other kids. Our site (311) was on a slight hill, so while the camper was balanced easily, our picnic table was definitely on a fairly steep incline. Still, I would come here every weekend!

      Blue Water Campground

      Easy Overnight Spot

      Traveling on I40 in mid-October, I planned to stop at Joe Skeen.  In the past I have stayed at Quaking Aspen (Ft. Wingate), but it is often deserted in the off season.  Unfortunately, Joe Skeen was full, but TheDyrt showed me my options and I ended up backtracking a little way to get to Bluewater State Park.  

      Beware of the drive in. The turns are well marked, but there is a cliff on the other side.  First Come First Served registration was easy in the off season.  I did not use the facilities.

      Chain O' Lakes State Park Campground

      Nice Fall Weekend

      For our first fall, chilly camping weekend, it was a nice getaway. We got to enjoy the Halloween decorations and the quiet chilly mornings.

      KOA Campground Middlebury

      Friendly (with a Broken Toilet)

      This was our first time camping in our 1991 Coachman Catalina RV with our two small dogs. We had site 50, which was close to a trail and not far from the bathrooms. The campers around us were very friendly. Our dogs were attempting to get used to not barking when they saw other dogs, but everyone was very understanding that it was our/their first time. The site was quiet and offers a few mini golf holes, gaga ball, some photo ops, and a pier. One of the toilets in the women’s restroom wasn’t refilling with water, so every time I went in there, I would fix it. The flusher handle was clearly broken, too. Otherwise, the bathroom accommodations were fine.

      Chain O' Lakes State Park Campground

      Relaxing September Evening at Chain O' Lakes State Park

      I stayed one evening last Wednesday here, a first time for me.  Just tent camping / sleeping in the car.  There were other campers around enjoying the pleasant evening, mainly in RVs.  Everyone was very quiet and respectful.  The shower buildings are old fashioned with a common area to place clothes and a towel, and only a shower curtain for each individual shower.  However, I was the only one showering at the time anyway.  The shower area was state park clean, I guess.  Before leaving, I viewed the one room schoolhouse on the grounds, just from the windows as it wasn't open at the time.  Quaint and old school.  Overall, I recommend camping at the park if you can live with the shower building or have an RV for added convenience.

      In the trees

      We loved our stay here. Trees aplenty, ponds are nice and the little river is right there.

      Buck Lake Ranch

      Old, not well maintained

      We were here for a music festival. Facilities are dated and in need of upkeep. Showers were disgusting. Staff was friendly.

      Woodys Camp and Bait

      This camp ground is very nice quiet.

      This camp ground is located on the other side of the damn. Newly add lots and shower houses also play ground for those with children. For those big kids of us there is also a new RC track. If you like peace and quiet and friendly camp neighbors this is the place for you.

      Pokagon State Park Campground

      Simple stop

      We used Pokagon State Park as a two-night stopover on our way home from Northern Michigan, and overall, it was a good option for a short stay.

      We stayed in Site 109, which was tucked away and felt fairly isolated from the rest of the campground. In early spring or late fall, I imagine the site would have a nice view of the lake, but in August the tree cover was too thick to see much of it.

      The gravel pad was reasonably level, but we needed a couple inches of leveling blocks to get the RV sitting flat. There wasn’t really much of a grassy area at the site for the dogs, but we were able to walk them easily just down the road.

      We brought our bicycles, which was a great way to explore the park. We rode around to the nature center, equestrian facility, and beach, and enjoyed being able to see more of the park without having to drive everywhere.

      One thing that surprised us was the single dump station for the entire campground. Since none of the sites have full hookups, I would imagine the line could get ridiculously long after a busy weekend.

      Overall, we’d stay here again, but probably only as a one- or two-night layover rather than a longer destination stay. Site 109 worked well for us because of its privacy and quiet location.

Chain O' Lakes State Park Campground near Albion provides year-round RV camping with both 30-amp and 50-amp electric options alongside water hookups. Shipshewana Trading Place RV Park features full hookup sites including water, sewer, and 50-amp service, operating seasonally from April through October.

    Most campgrounds in the region require reservations, particularly during summer months and Amish country tourism season. Access roads generally accommodate large vehicles, though maneuvering space varies significantly between parks. Dump stations are available at most locations, including Twin Mills and Chain O' Lakes, while Elkhart RV Resort provides on-site sewer connections at individual sites. Cell service quality fluctuates throughout the area—campgrounds closer to Elkhart report stronger signals for both AT&T and T-Mobile users. Pets are permitted at nearly all RV parks in the region, typically with standard leash requirements. A reviewer mentioned that seasonal campers occupy many prime spots at some parks: "It seems they target the seasonal campers over the weekend family/group campers, and it's disappointing seeing what it's become."
