Best RV Parks & Resorts near Bremen, IN

Shipshewana Trading Place RV Park and Elkhart RV Resort provide full hookup sites for recreational vehicles near Bremen, Indiana. Elkhart RV Resort features big rig friendly sites with 50-amp electrical service, while Lakeside RV Resort offers water and electric hookups with sewer connections. Most parks maintain level concrete or gravel pads with adequate spacing between sites, though several parks have tighter configurations during peak season. Twin Mills Camping Resort accommodates larger motorhomes with pull-through sites and 50-amp service from April through November. "Sites are close together so if it is crowded and you have a neighbor, you will be right on top of them. There is no shade which can be very miserable," noted one RV traveler about Elkhart County Fairgrounds.

Between April and November, most RV parks in the region remain operational with varying amenities. Maple Ridge Campground and South Bend Elkhart North KOA both accept pets and provide trash collection services. Cell service quality varies throughout the area, with stronger Verizon signals reported at several locations. Dump stations are available at Twin Mills and Elkhart RV Resort, though some sites offer full hookups eliminating the need for separate dumping. During summer weekends, entrance gates at several parks may create delays. Based on reviews from The Dyrt, winter travelers should note that water connections are typically winterized after November 1st, though electrical service remains available year-round at select facilities.

    Indiana Dunes State Park Campground

    Clean & Spacious

    We pulled in around 4:30 in the evening. The sight was spacious with plenty of room in between sites. Since the weather was cooler , it was pretty sparse with other campers. We stayed 2 nights over the weekend. You are within walking distance to the beach within the park. The buildings have great architecture. The sight had 50 amp electric hook ups but no water or sewer connections, and we knew that going in. We had a back in sight #69. There was plenty of space on all sides. We have a 37’ motorhome and pulled a Jeep behind it. There was plenty of room to maneuver around. The sight also had a wood picnic table and fire ring for a wood fire pit. We will definitely be back! I wish I had taken more photos from the beach and beach pavilion.

    Indiana Dunes State Park Campground

    Nice layout and a ton of nature activities

    The state park is located within the boundaries of the Indiana Dunes National Park (formerly National Lakeshore), so don't get confused by this. There also is a national park campground, but it's closed in the winter.)

    This state park has a nice layout because the sites seem to be staggered so that they don't back up to each other. Also, there is a good buffer space behind the sites and decent space between each site. 

    All sites have 20- 30- and 50-amp service available, plus almost all are a combination of a concrete pad and asphalt apron. Note that just because they're paved doesn't mean all of them are level. Each site has a fire pit and it appeared they all have grill grates on them.

    One nice touch is that some sites have wider asphalt aprons so if you have a longer rig, you can put your towing vehicle or your towed vehicle off to the side once your rig is in place. Also, the ADA sites are nicely laid out with larger concrete pads so that even the fire pits are in the concrete section for ease of access. 

    Note that after Nov. 1, the water is shut off and bathrooms are shut down until spring, although there are vault toilets available. 

    You will hear a pretty regular stream of train whistles at this campground, but they aren't so loud as to be disruptive. 

    You can hike to the 1929 Dunes Pavilion and a large beach on Lake Michigan. The best hiking activity, however, and also easily accessible by walking from the campground, is the series of dune trails. The Nature Center, which sits between the campground and the trails, has some good visitor's information about the dunes, the flora and fauna, and the history of the area. 

    Once you finish seeing what you want in the state park, there's still the entire national park to see. Plus, there's a multi-use trail that runs for 9 miles along the state park and into the national park. 

    Cell service for Verizon was two bars but speeds seem to be good. Less signal and speed for Google Fi, but not terrible.

    Twin Mills Camping Resort

    Beautiful Wooded Campground

    Twin Mills is a really beautiful and quiet RV Campground, with tall trees in Northern Indiana. We frequent this location when getting RV Repairs and visiting Elkhart, the birth place of most RVs.

    There are cabins and tent sites and a large lake access point with a beach area. The playgrounds seemed to be in good shape and the dumpsters were centrally located.

    The park has a gate entrance for security.

    There is a large pool area and basketball court.

    There are several sections in the park, some more wooded and narrow sites, some are more spread out.

    Cellular: T-Mobile had good signal strength and bandwidth, AT&T was not as good but still doable.

    Most of the sites are full hook up, some have 30amp and some have 50amp.

    Amenities: Pool Clubhouse Basketball Volleyball Picnic tables Fire rings Trash Playground Lake access Beach area Dock Cabins Tent sites

    Elkhart County Fairgrounds

    Typical Fairgrounds Camping Experience

    I have camped here a couple of times while visiting northern Indiana to have repairs done on my RV. Overall, I like this campground where for $30/night you can get a 50 amp full hook-up site or $23/night a 30 amp and water site. If you plan on staying longer weekly and monthly rates are really good. The campground sits in the middle of the county fairgrounds so there is usually something going on – either a fair, concert, horse event, or an RV rally. Depending on what time of year you are here and part of the week, the campground could be very crowded or very empty. The nice thing is the people in the office let you pick whatever site you want and don’t assign one to you. There are 275 full hook-up sites with 50 amp full hook-up and 30 amp water & electric only. There are no fires allowed and some sites don’t have picnic tables but you can request one and they will bring it to your site.

    There is very little shade and during my last visit the late September fall temperatures climbed to nearly 90 degrees and was brutal. This campground is better suited for RVs than tents but you are permitted to tent camp. Bathrooms and showers are scattered about and I was amazed at always how clean they (and the grounds as a whole) are. They do offer WiFi which worked pretty well in non-peak hours like early morning but was not reliable and sometimes frustrating. Since many sites have a clear view of the sky, you most likely will get satellite television reception and a dozen or so antenna channels.

    One of the things I like about this park is the vast expanse of grounds to wander about walking my dog. There is a trail system just outside of the park that allows you miles and miles of walking and biking trails. Downtown Goshen is less than two miles away and has some great restaurants (including Venturi Pizza, Maple Indian Cuisine – which has an awesome buffet, and Goshen Brewing Company). The Saturday farmers market is great with lots of produce, breads, meats, cheeses, and crafts.

    The last time I visited coincided with the Mennonite Relief Fund which was a big fund raiser for their charity that packed the grounds with stuff for sale, food, and activities. It was fun to be there during the event but it meant the campground and grounds were packed.

    Now for the bad about this campground. It is located right next to very busy train tracks that operate 24/7 and blow their horns quite often. They were really annoying in the middle of the night. Sites are close together so if it is crowded and you have a neighbor, you will be right on top of them. There is no shade which can be very miserable.

    Pros:

    · Price - $30/night for a 50 amp full hook-up site

    · Nearby downtown stores and restaurants

    · Sites are not assigned so you can pick where you want to camp

    · Grassy patios

    · Large grounds to meander around

    · Nearby biking/walking trail

    Cons:

    · Very noisy from nearby trains operated at all hours

    · Few trees for shade or privacy

    · Some sites are very tight and close to your neighbor

    · Can be very crowded

    · WiFi provided but not reliable

    Shipshewana North Park Campground

    Nice campground in a convenient location

    We were passing through and decided to stop for frozen custard at the stand right next to the campground. The first review for this place did not seem very inviting but a more recent one was a little more positive. After checking it out, I thought it could use a little reinforcement of the positives! I’m not sure if there have been new owners since the first review but I received a very friendly greeting, and the office is open from 9 am– 8 pm and clearly marked as the place to check-in. 

    There are many options here: back-in or pull-thru tent sites, w/e sites, full hook-up sites, camper cabins, and fully equipped cabins. The campsites range from $32-$46 per night and the cabins range from $69-$144 per night. Sites 47-52 are close to the road so you will hear road noise, but Sites 11-35 are farther from the road and are more shaded. The layout is RV park style but there is reasonable separation between the sites. 

    The restrooms have a code for entry, and I did not see the inside of these.

    Amenities include:

    - a community fire pit

    -  game room with television

    - guest laundry 

    - dump station

    - gift shop

    - pet friendly options

     -WiFi

    - There is, of course, an ice cream/frozen custard stand that I dare you to resist. 

    While we would not consider it a destination, we would definitely consider camping here en route – the price is reasonable, and the staff is friendly and welcoming.

    Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park at Plymouth

    August 2018: Meh

    Please know this is mostly a mobile home park and long term rvs. It’s kept up decent but some shoddy add ons and sheds throughout. there are I’ve 900 sites and more than 95% are permanent. It’s between a very busy freeway and very busy railroad track. Cute little lake with lots of activities for kids and themed weekends. I was abke to run 3 miles aroind the park. Full hook ups are only up to 30 amps. Close to Chicago. We will not be returning due to noise but other than that, it’s ‘meh’.

    Indiana Dunes State Park Campground

    Close by taste of nature

    This is actually our second visit here. It’s only 20 minutes from our home, so we expect to come back many times. It’s a unique location about .5 miles from the actual beach and there’s a path/boardwalk that takes you right there. This is one of the few state parks that has a year-round heated bathroom with shower, so even with our popup camper we were able to take advantage of the decent weather for our first trip of the year. Sites are decent sized and have asphalt driveways with concrete pads. Sites are electric only, but there’s several water fills, even in winter. Very popular campground so you do have to book well in advance during regular season. Be aware that because it shares an entrance to the state park beach, entering on a summer Saturday or summer Sunday can take upwards of 45 minutes or more.


Guide to Bremen

Nestled in northern Indiana at approximately 800 feet above sea level, Bremen is situated near several lakes and waterways that attract campers during peak season from April through October. Typical summer temperatures range from 75-85°F, with moderate humidity that can make evenings comfortable for outdoor activities. Campgrounds in this region are typically spaced within 20-30 minutes of each other, creating a network of camping options throughout Amish country.

What to do

Fishing access points: Both Twin Mills Camping Resort and Bear Cave RV Campground offer water recreation options. "There is a boat launch and a few docks that can be used," notes Jerry S. about Bear Cave. Twin Mills campers mention "lake access with a beach area" as a popular feature.

Biking trails: The Pumpkinvine Bike Trail runs near Shipshewana Trading Place RV Park, offering paved paths through Amish countryside. "We enjoyed our stay, two days of riding on the Pumpkinvine Bike Trail, the Krider Nurseries World's Fair Garden," writes Cindy B. who camped at Shipshewana.

Amish country exploration: Located near Middlebury, Elkhart RV Resort by Rjourney provides access to Amish communities. "Great campground in the heart of Amish country. Near Elkhart and the RV/MH Hall of Fame & Museum," writes Kathy S. Another visitor notes it's "about 10 minutes drive to Shipshewana with very kind Amish community folks."

What campers like

Lake activities: Lakeside RV Resort features a private lake for recreation. "This campground has a private lake which is surrounded by farmland. Lots of primitive sites right next to the lake," says reviewer j S., who gave the campground 4 stars.

Clean facilities: Multiple campers praise the bathroom facilities at Maple Ridge Campground. "The shower and bathroom was the best I ever saw at a campground," reports one camper. Another adds, "The bath house is newly remodeled and very clean, nice in ground pool area & the camp store has plenty of treats for the kids."

Family activities: Weekend programming is available at many campgrounds. "Twin Mills is a really beautiful and quiet RV Campground, with tall trees in Northern Indiana," notes Laura H., adding it has a "pool, clubhouse, basketball, volleyball, picnic tables, fire rings, trash, playground, lake access, beach area, dock, cabins, tent sites."

What you should know

Train noise: Be aware of nearby train tracks when booking certain campgrounds. "There is an active railroad nearby this campground. 4 Trains woke us up during the night," reports Irene O. about South Bend Elkhart North KOA.

Site configuration: RV parks in the area have various layouts that affect privacy. At Shipshewana RV Park, "The Park offers mainly alternating pull-through sites which means you will be facing your neighbor's door not their street side of the camper. This makes for great buddy sites," explains Andrew M.

Seasonal facilities: Winter camping is limited in the region. Most campgrounds operate from April through October, with water systems winterized after November 1. "Our site was the farthest loop on the back row. Not too sure with all the empty spots why, but very wooded," notes Barbara P. about camping at Twin Mills during late season.

Tips for camping with families

Activity-focused campgrounds: Select campgrounds with programmed events. "Owner operator campground where the family knows how to cater to the kids. Multiple activities on Saturday included tractor ride, kids bingo, and elephant ears. Nice pool and playground," writes Tony G. about his Maple Ridge Campground experience.

Playgrounds and recreation: Consider campgrounds with dedicated play areas. "It's a very nice family friendly campground. Lots of very friendly other campers, a heated pool, playground for the kids, nice size lots with fire pits," says Gay G. about Bear Cave RV Campground.

Internet access considerations: If kids need connectivity, check reviews for internet quality. "If you want wifi then its 5.95 per day or if your here for a week + then 34.95 for the month up to 4 devices is your best bet," explains jack about Bear Cave RV Campground.

Tips from RVers

Check hook-up specifics: Electrical connections vary between campgrounds. At Twin Mills, "Most of the sites are full hook up, some have 30amp and some have 50amp," notes Laura H. Other campers mention bringing adapters for different amp configurations.

Spacing between RVs: Site dimensions affect comfort levels. "Campsites are setup to for two pull through a side by side with shared yard in the middle," notes Tony G. about Maple Ridge Campground, which can work well for traveling with friends.

Dump station availability: Not all RV parks near Bremen, Indiana offer sewer connections. "The only sewer hook-ups are all taken by seasonal campers," mentions Jerry S. about Bear Cave, though they add the park has a "honey wagon" service for a fee.
