love this place
Back 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.
Moishe F.GuideWhite River Campground
Amazing campground
We made last minute reservations, for tent camping, the staff was so nice. She even brought fire wood to us after they closed the store. They have all amenities. The shower were nice and clean (the water was a bit smelly). The sight comes with outlets and water faucets. There’s a lake right near the sight that u can go into, but that causes a lot of flies to come.

Quite and pleasant campground
My husband and I and our 2 dogs stayed 4 nights at the campground for an event. Right outside of Hartford city you never know what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised at how nice the campground is. There is a pool, a lake in the back for fishing, 2 kids parks, a mini putting area, and lots of open field. No noise from traffic, you are close to Hartford city if you need anything (just don’t go to the McDonald’s). Lots of other campers here that seem to have annual stays. We choose spot 108 because it was in the back and pretty secluded, no one else was around us. Picnic tables and firepits at the sites. They also have buddy campsites. We didn’t use the wifi but it was accessible. They also have a rec area and have campsite chat nights, games, and all the fun stuff. Great place and would stay again!

Ummm not so great
$25 a night for a place to sleep is not bad I guess but there have been no updates for them to charge the $10 extra. This place is deserted, bug filled and honestly a bit sad.
Mary D.GuideWhite River Campground
Beautiful and Relaxing!
We traveled from Tennessee for a concert in Indianapolis (about a 40-minute drive) and absolutely loved this campground! The sites are paved, level, and offer plenty of yard space, with many located right along the river.
It’s right at the entrance to a scenic walking trail, and they even offer electric bike rentals to explore the area. The campground store is one of the nicest we’ve seen, and the bathrooms are clean and well maintained. There’s also a new, modern playground.
Wi-Fi is available, and we had solid cell service with 3 bars on US Cellular and T-Mobile. If we lived closer, we’d definitely be back!
Winter season is over middle of April, and we were here April 3rd. Water was turned off at the sites, but they had a spot to fill up your holding tank.
Full hook-ups!

Good amenities
Loved our 2 night stay, the camp store was great. Glad they had extra firewood. Cicero the town close by is a cute one with a nice water scene. Only 2 other tents set up in the whole campground. Most of the rv/camper spots were taken though.

Super Deluxe Sites are Worth It
The Indianapolis KOA was easy to find just off I-70. We had heard that check-in involved a tight turn near the office, but we had no issues navigating the turn with our 40’ fifth wheel and F450. Check-in was quick and easy, and we proceeded to deluxe Paw Pen Site D55, a pull-through with full hookups. We’ve stayed at KOAs with Paw Pens before, but this location had the largest fenced dog area we’ve seen to date, which was a nice surprise. Cell coverage was solid with 3 bars on both Verizon and T-Mobile. The campground has a lot of mature trees, so satellite service could be challenging depending on site location. For this overnight stay, we used our T-Mobile Home Internet and saw 35.4 Mbps download speeds instead of deploying Starlink. Campground Wi-Fi was available but slow at 3.89 Mbps download. The laundry room was clean and well maintained, with large washers and dryers. There was signage noting that the well water may stain white clothing, but we washed some white items without any issues. Take a few minutes to read the campground rules—they’re surprisingly hilarious and worth the laugh. Overall, this was a great overnight stop and one of the better KOA stays we’ve had.
Guide to Kokomo
Glamping in Kokomo, Indiana features several distinct choices along central Indiana's White River watershed, situated between the Mississinewa and Wildcat Creek systems. The region's relatively flat terrain at approximately 830 feet above sea level offers year-round accessibility with seasonal water level fluctuations during spring runoff. Summer temperatures typically range from 70-85°F, ideal for water activities from April through October when most campgrounds operate at full capacity.
What to do
Paddling and river access: White River Campground provides direct water entry points and easy river navigation. "There is a canoe launch spot on the river, and hiking trails," notes Caitlin W. The campground connects to multiple water routes for kayaks and small watercraft.
Fishing opportunities: Several glamping locations offer well-stocked fishing areas with various species. "Great place to fish. Beautiful waterfalls," mentions Wendy Z. about France Park. Bass and catfish are common catches during spring and fall seasons.
Trail systems: The area features interconnected hiking paths with varying difficulty levels. "This is a great campsite attached to a wonderful park with great trails," writes David R. Many trails connect to regional greenways and forest preserves with moderate elevation changes and mostly packed dirt surfaces.
What campers like
Clean facilities: Restrooms and shower buildings receive consistent praise at most Kokomo area glamping locations. "The bathrooms are decent. Playground is newly remodeled. Laundry onsite, wood for sale, and some wifi," states Jeremiah G. about White River Campground.
Water features: Swimming areas and water activities rank highly among visitor preferences. "The quarry, wow! It was beyond stunning and never what I expected to see in an Indiana park," notes Jennifer K. about her experience at France Park. The quarry offers swimming from Memorial Day through Labor Day with designated swim areas.
Site spacing: Many campers appreciate the room between accommodations at certain locations. "The sites are spacious, the water, sewer, and electric are good. All sites are paved, grounds are great to walk, campground people are nice," shares Kristen S. This contrasts with more densely arranged sites at some of the region's commercial campgrounds.
What you should know
Reservation requirements: Most glamping sites fill quickly during peak season. "Fills up fast, so make your reservation. It's small but one of my favorites," advises Caitlin W. Holiday weekends often book 3-6 months in advance, especially for premium water-view accommodations.
Mixed glamping experiences: The quality of amenities varies significantly between locations. "Campsites where larger than I expected and am used to with KOA. Very enjoyable weekend stay. We stayed in site 89 which was a pull through full hook up site with cable tv as well," reports Marc W. about Indiana Beach Campground, noting the unexpected spaciousness.
Weather considerations: Spring camping often encounters muddy conditions. "With the rain we have experienced recently I was prepared for a little mud with a few extra tarps on the ground and it was perfect," mentions Rhonda B. about Wolfs Leisure Time Campground. Water levels rise during spring months, affecting some riverside sites.
Tips for camping with families
Activity options: Many glamping locations offer structured recreation beyond standard camping. "Koteewi, which has horseback riding, ziplines, an archery range, along with other activities," suggests Caitlin W., highlighting the nearby attractions accessible from White River Campground.
Swimming facilities: Multiple sites feature pools or natural swimming areas with varying depths and supervision. "The pool is quite large and clean. The KOA page states that they have a pool and splash pad area as well as mini golf," notes Marc W. Splash pads typically operate from Memorial Day through Labor Day, weather permitting.
Playground access: Big Fish-n-Camp Ground offers family-friendly features like fishing ponds alongside traditional play areas. "We love coming here when we want to camp, fish and getaway from home without driving far," shares Jennifer K. Most glamping locations maintain dedicated children's play equipment with age-appropriate options.
Tips from RVers
Site selection: RV glamping requires attention to specific site features. "We had a decently large site for our 23' camper. Lots for the kids to do- park, beach, fishing, pretty trails, waterfall, little camp store etc," reports Heather G. Many campgrounds offer online site maps showing dimensions and hookup locations.
Hookup variations: Electric and water connections differ significantly between locations. "Not many sites for 'tent' camping. This place used to be so nice, but now it is over priced and over run with campers," cautions Elisha E. about Old Mill Run Park, indicating its shift toward developed RV sites.
Seasonal availability: Most RV glamping options operate on limited schedules. "Great place and clean. We've already booked our next visit," mentions Brian A. Most locations close between mid-October and April, with a few exceptions offering limited winter access.
