    Prophetstown State Park Campground

    Great campground

    Great campground. Really nice campground - clean, sites with some shade (especially the section with full hookups). Lots of families enjoying camping, kids relishing the freedom of riding bikes and skateboards (unfortunately too few with helmets including one with a major black eye). Nice walking trails right off of campground. Aquatic center in park. We would return - except that crossing the country on highway 70 is brutal

    Broadview Lake and Campground

    Home away from home!

    This campground has a personality of its own. Majority of the lots are permanent Indiana residents but the option for an impromptu night of camping here is always open. The staff have been here years and you can tell genuinely care about this place. They make sure to know you, which makes me feel safe cuz they know who’s here whether tenant or guest. Neighbors are great. You have the occasion person that likes to hear themselves but that’s everywhere. If u want to make friends you can and if you want to stay to yourself you can. The pool was just put in a year ago and is a relaxing place to go. Also what I thought was different was that no matter what is going on here , everyone settles down around 10 to 11 pm and by midnight you hear the crickets and owls. Everyone is so respectful of quiet time here no matter the festivity. There is a pond you can fish as well. If you wanna stick around a while this is the campground for you.

    Mississinewa Lake Campground

    Great for families

    This is a popular spot for locals and I was lucky to get the last electric site with less than a days notice. Every other site seemed to have a large gathering of family or friends. The restrooms/ showers are quite dated and sparse. I only have one bar with Verizon.

    Wabash City RV Park

    A quick stop with utilities for cheap

    I give this three stars not because there's nothing really wrong about it. It's just a grassy parking lot with utilities and a corner grassy knoll with shade. $16/night with electric and water it's worth at least three stars.

    You may want to use GPS coordinates to the entrance.

    THE QUIRKS You MUST check in at the Water Treatment Plant by 4PM. You do not need to have picked a site, yet. Complete the typical paperwork and you'll be given keys to unlock the electrical box and a key to turn on the water. They keys work at any site.

    (See the pic showing the location of the RV park (red) and the Water Treatment Plant (blue).

    When you check out, leave the keys in the box at the exit.

    Our electrical pedestal had no 30amp receptacle. If you have a 30amp plug, bring a 50amp adapter. There are two 20amp outlets available.

    The pedestals are between sites, which aren't really close. You will need a long (30-40'?) extension cord suited to your amperage to reach the pedestal. The water is clear and tastes great.

    Trash and tank dump are available at the Water Treatment Plant. Be aware their hours are 7AM- 4PM Monday-Friday and 7AM- 3PM Saturday.

    Basic toilets are located just outside the "park" at the dead end of S. Carol. That's also where the walking path along the river is.


Guide to Logansport

Camping spots near Logansport, Indiana offer a variety of seasonal experiences with warm summer temperatures averaging in the mid-80s and cold winters dipping into the 20s. The area sits at approximately 700 feet above sea level in a region where the Wabash and Eel Rivers converge. Most campgrounds in this north-central Indiana location follow seasonal operations, with primitive campsites generally more available during shoulder seasons than full-hookup options.

What to do

Hiking trails: 5-mile options at Prophetstown State Park offer paved paths suitable for all skill levels. "Bike trails are paved and good for little ones and families," mentions one visitor. The trail "winds through a prairie to where the Wabash and Tippecanoe Rivers meet. Very pretty ride."

Quarry swimming: Entry costs $5 at France Park's quarry lake where visitors praise the water clarity. "I spent the day on the beach and swimming in the crystal clear lake," one camper notes. "There are sooooo many trails and they are very well maintained, although if it's rained, there may be standing water in some of the lower areas."

Alpaca experiences: Daily farm tours available at Heritage Farm Alpaca Experience where guests can interact with over 50 alpacas. "Tim and Beth were very welcoming, as was Juno, their dog. We enjoyed helping to feed the Alpacas," shares a visitor. The farm also offers a boutique shop selling alpaca wool products.

What campers like

Secluded primitive sites: Sites UB 1 and 2 at France Park provide more seclusion than standard sites. "We go here and camp on site UB 1 or 2 at least 5 weekends out of the year," a regular camper reports. "Tent camping, hiking, fishing, clean showers, friendly employees and a fair amount of secluded primitive sites."

Riverside camping: Waterfront locations provide direct river access at several campgrounds. One Tall Sycamore visitor appreciates the "community where everyone helps one another and the carry in dinners are fun and delicious!" The campground's 117 sites operate from mid-April through mid-October.

Winter camping options: Cold-weather camping is available at Mississinewa Lake Campground for hardier campers. "Winter camping so no showers/bathrooms. Great area, lots of wildlife," explains a winter visitor. "They have wifi (by the water tower) nice lake, some trails. Gravel lot, pretty level."

What you should know

Campground seasons: Most facilities close from October through April. The camping season typically runs April 15th to October 15th at several locations, with limited winter availability. "Very nice campground. Site was clean and level. People were friendly," one visitor notes before warning about bathroom maintenance issues during their visit.

Cell service variations: Coverage strength depends on carrier and specific campground location. A camper at Tippecanoe River State Park reports: "I have AT&T service and could not use my phone at all, my husband has Verizon and had no problems with cell service." Sites near towns generally have better coverage.

Mosquito preparation: Insect activity peaks mid-summer. Several campgrounds report significant mosquito populations, especially near waterways. "Worst place for mosquitoes," warns one visitor at Tippecanoe River State Park, while another suggests: "Spring and late fall would be a good time to visit."

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Select sites 2,3,4,6,7 at Tippecanoe River State Park for direct playground visibility. "Lots of kids riding bikes and playing at the playground. Almost every camper brings their dog. It is how camping should be!" notes a visitor. Interior sites near comfort station B also provide playground views.

Water activities: Combine swimming options with hiking at most locations. One France Park visitor shares: "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... This is only an hour from us so, good place to go to get away and not have that drive far."

Holiday planning: Avoid peak holidays for quieter experiences. "Over crowded and loud on holidays," cautions a regular France Park visitor. For families seeking waterpark options, Prophetstown State Park offers a water park for $5 per person daily.

Tips from RVers

Hookup variations: Full hookups available at Indiana Beach Campground in site 89 and others. "Campsites were 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 one RVer.

Leveling considerations: Gravel quality varies between campgrounds. One camper notes that at France Park "the sites are gravel and they used the huge gravel so it is hard to used stabilizers and also level your unit on." Most state park sites feature small gravel pads that are relatively level.

Water fill stations: Plan accordingly as some campgrounds have limited water fill stations. "Downside is if you don't haul with water you better fill up at the fill station when you see it cuz it gets busy," advises a Mississinewa Lake camper who also warns about dump station lines on busy departure days.
