Dogs enjoy access to several outdoor spaces near these campgrounds, with trails and lakefront areas where leashed pets can explore. Glo Wood Campground offers peaceful surroundings on farm property with enough space for dogs to walk along the perimeter. The Interstate 70 corridor provides convenient access to veterinary services in Greenfield and Noblesville if emergency care is needed. Summer heat requires attention to pet hydration, with many sites offering shade options and water hookups. Several campers note the staff at Indianapolis KOA are particularly accommodating to pets, delivering firewood to sites so owners don't need to leave pets unattended. Highway noise from I-69 near Mystic Waters Campground can disturb sensitive dogs, though the spacious sites provide adequate room for pets to settle comfortably.

"Nobody cleans up after their dogs. All in all very grateful for a place to call home for a couple of months."
"Access to the family fun zone including in the stay. So much for our littles to do! And totally safe and clean."

On AT&T, I typically had 2 bars and no problem streaming music or browsing Facebook."

"Lots of full timers with little dogs that bark non stop. We have large dogs that would get riled up by the small dogs barking. Clearly no one cared about barking though."

ScoutMark & Denise are great camp hosts they care about everyone and will help them if they need it. They do so much for the holidays and have some great times together around the campfires. Will miss them this winter but will be thinking of them during the Army Navy game. (A inside joke lol).
Scoutwe arrived during a halloween kids party. the hostess was super nice. the women’s showers and wash rooms clean. the men’s shower was sport locker style.
ScoutClean paved sites, rigs under 35 feet will fit. Water and electricity 50/30 (water is in the ground.
ScoutBeautiful, great amenities too. Right off highway to travel anywhere
GuideGreat place to stay. Full hook ups, about 90 percent level sites. 33 RV sites and 3 or 4 primitive camp sites. The main bathhouse is pretty clean, included laundry, and a great host and hostess (Mark and Denise). The only bad is the price hikes here. One would think MWR would throw money towards some things...like a dog park, some leveling, lights at the kids playground, and MWR sponsored and paid for holiday parties/outings for vets, retirees, and all the active here on base. But nope, just collecting revenue without any beanies. Anyway, the host keeps it grounded.
ScoutThe staff here is very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Each site has water hookups as well as a firepit, electric and sewage. There is a laundry room with a small library, bath house, and a nice short trail, with a game of horseshoes. Unfortunately no more swimming or kayaking in the lake but there are other parks in the area to do so. Very peaceful back in the woods, would definitely stay here again!
GuideBack in site, along the river, has full hooks! Wonderful bike, walking, you could even see horses on the path! Well taken care of campground, owned by the county. Lots of shade trees, clean bathrooms, playground.
ScoutGreat staff, super helpful! Put us in their “VIP” spots on the “hill”. Access to the family fun zone including in the stay. So much for our littles to do! And totally safe and clean.
TravelerThe good: Hosts are very nice. Bath/shower house clean. Close to the city of Franklin, but rural. Not so good: next to an Indiana National Guard site. Was mostly quiet during the week, but louder on weekend. Revelry playing at 6 am, helicopters, etc. Also, be aware, website does not say, but they do not allow tent camping, car camping, makeshift tent trailers, box truck campers etc. But currently allow pop up campers. I have a Sylvan Sport Go and was told I'd have to leave. Eventually allowed me to stay for my reserved time and decided it was a legit enough camper.
