What campers like
Seasonal activities: Each season offers different experiences at Bremen area cabins. At Elkhart Campground, open April through November, campers have access to "swimming, volleyball, mini golf..." according to one reviewer who stayed for one night.
Privacy variations: Cabin sites have varying levels of seclusion depending on location. Some campers prefer quieter areas at Potato Creek State Park Campground, where one visitor recommended "securing a spot in the back sites 230-287 for larger lots and quieter atmosphere. Younger families tend to book up front near the playground and the noise and activities are more robust."

There is also a waterfall right next to the cave." Another visitor commented on Tippecanoe River State Park's proximity to water, though noted "none of the campsites have a view of the river."
What you should know
Electrical requirements: Power setups vary between cabins. At Potato Creek State Park, campers should "be ready with back up cords, some sites require 75 ft to hook up." The same reviewer noted "spotty WIFI" and mentioned, "I like unplugging but sometimes work demands I respond promptly."
Mosquito prevention: Wetland areas near Bremen cabins require insect preparation. One camper at Potato Creek State Park advised, "Natural wetlands abound, so definitely bring the mosquito spray." Another reviewer at Tippecanoe River State Park noted, "The mosquitos get bad in the summer, so come prepared. We camped the end of May & they were just getting going."

Tips for camping with families
Pool availability: Several campgrounds offer swimming pools but with seasonal limitations. Warren Dunes State Park Campground features a large beach area rather than a pool. A visitor advised, "Plan on driving your stuff to the beach or taking bicycles. Mt. Randall is the high dune to climb but not for the faint of heart!"

At Tippecanoe River State Park, sites 2, 3, 4, 6, and 7 "have direct access to a playground & you can watch your children from your site," according to a camper who noted all interior sites by comfort station B offer this benefit but advised to "avoid if you dislike the sound of children playing."
Tips from RVers
Site leveling needs: Several campgrounds require additional equipment for level parking. At Hoffman Lake Campground, one visitor noted "our site was sloped, but we worked it out."

The front and side sites seemed nicer and had ample shade with some concrete sites."
