RV campgrounds near Logansport, Indiana offer sites with varying terrain and seasonal accessibility. Most campgrounds in this region lie within 30 miles of the Wabash River, at elevations between 600-700 feet. Summer temperatures average 75-85°F, while spring camping often requires preparation for muddy conditions after frequent rainfall. RV campsites typically range from level concrete pads to gravel surfaces depending on location.
What to do
Hiking trails for all levels: At Tippecanoe River State Park, trails vary from easy walks to more challenging routes with elevation changes. The park features a fire tower that's accessible via a short hike. "There is a firetower, which is fun for the kids and the hike to get there is short," notes Kaley A.
Water activities: France Park provides unique swimming experiences in a former limestone quarry. One visitor shared, "Great place to fish. Beautiful waterfalls," highlighting the diverse water activities available beyond standard campground swimming areas.
Amusement park access: Indiana Beach Campground is located near a classic amusement park with seasonal rides and attractions. "If you stay with KOA you get decently discounted tickets to Indiana Beach amusement park," reports Marc W., mentioning that ticket prices were $27.50 at the gatehouse during his visit.
Farm experiences: Visit farm animals at Heritage Farm Alpaca Experience where camping includes unique agricultural interactions. A camper noted, "We enjoyed helping to feed the Alpacas– they have over 50. The rooster crowed gustily at dawn (but dawn was after 7 am and we were already awake)."
What campers like
Evening activities: Many campers appreciate the community atmosphere at Tall Sycamore Campground, particularly during evening hours. "I love staying by the Wabash River at Tall Sycamore. It's a true community where everyone helps one another and the carry in dinners are fun and delicious!" shares Jennifer H.
Family-oriented atmosphere: Lost Acres RV Park receives consistent praise for its family facilities. As Carrie S. explains, "This is a beautiful family orientation campground. There is something for everyone. Playgrounds, new pool, kids activities, corn hole tournaments, fishing pond."
Natural features: The unique landscape at France Park stands out to visitors. "Love this place. Have been camping here for decades and for me this place has a great balance of amenities and natural sceneries and spaces," writes Randy A., highlighting how the former quarry creates distinctive camping experiences.
Privacy options: While many campgrounds feature standard layouts, campers note certain areas offer more secluded options. "We took two vehicles since we wanted to leave one at our campsite. Some sites are clustered together, however we lucked out and got one along the fishing lake with no nearby neighbors," reports a camper at France Park.
What you should know
Seasonal conditions: Most Logansport area rv campgrounds operate from April through October, with limited winter availability. At Prophetstown State Park, campers note that sites "book up super fast on weekends and you have to book months out," according to Amy Y.
Site surfaces: Tent campers should be aware that many sites require setting up on gravel rather than grass. "If you tent camp like we do the park makes you set tent up on gravel which is a little disappointing," mentions a Prophetstown camper.
Wildlife considerations: Seasonal insects can impact camping experiences at certain locations. One reviewer specifically mentioned, "Worst place for mosquitoes," regarding Tippecanoe River State Park, suggesting campers bring appropriate repellent during summer months.
Cell service variability: Connectivity varies significantly between campgrounds. "I have AT&T service and could not use my phone at all, my husband has Verizon and had no problems with cell service," shares Monica C. about her experience at Tippecanoe River State Park.
Tips for camping with families
Playground proximity: At certain campgrounds, select sites allow parents to monitor children at play areas from their campsite. Cynthia K. advises, "For the playground, sites 2,3,4,6,&7 have direct access to a playground& you can watch your children from your site."
Swimming options: Multiple water recreation choices exist beyond standard pools. "The quarry, wow! It was beyond stunning and never what I expected to see in an Indiana park," writes Jennifer K. about France Park's unique swimming area.
Budget considerations: Admission costs for additional activities should factor into trip planning. One camper at Indiana Beach Campground notes, "The IB side has a large mini golf course ($8 for those > 5) and a nice arcade our boys enjoyed (also for a fee)."
Seasonal noise levels: Expect varying sound levels depending on season and day of week. "We stayed in a pull through spot with full hook up and it was mostly quiet. Quiet time is supposed to be after 11. The first night some people across from us were loud until after 1am," reports Erin B. about Indiana Beach Campground.
Tips from RVers
Hookup requirements: Prepare proper connection equipment for RV sites. At Wabash City RV Park, "Our electrical pedestal had no 30amp receptacle. If you have a 30amp plug, bring a 50amp adapter. There are two 20amp outlets available," advises Don H.
Cable and internet options: Connectivity varies between Logansport area rv campgrounds. "We had a very poor wifi signal. My husband had a hot spot from work and that was helpful. We were unable to get many channels on our tv with our antenna. If you have a satellite dish bring it," suggests one Indiana Beach camper.
Site dimensions: RVers should confirm turning radius requirements when booking. Some sections at Indiana Beach "are very muddy kind of tight to turn a 30 foot camper in," according to Bryon T.
Extension cord length: Standard power cord lengths may not reach all pedestals. "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," notes a reviewer about Wabash City RV Park.
