Water recreation: Muncie RV Resort features multiple water features. "Friendly folks, catch and release fishing pond, and a pond with beach for swimming. Good size playground, jump pad, and off-leash 'dog park' available as well," shares one visitor who enjoyed the diverse amenities.

What you should know
Seasonal considerations: Most campgrounds operate with modified services during winter. "Campground is closing 10/31/22 for the winter," notes a Prairie Creek Park visitor, highlighting the limited seasonal availability common to this region.
Flooding concerns: Some campgrounds have terrain issues during wet weather. S and H Campground visitor reports: "Keep in mind it was Memorial Day weekend. Hancock County had 2" of rain on Friday. The campground (lower) sits at a low elevation. Our site was 70% flooded."
Variable site quality: Request specific areas when booking. "We were on the creek side. Honestly if you have a big rig or large TT don't go to that side. Ask for on the hill and backed up to the fun park," advises an S and H Campground reviewer.
Tips for camping with families
Water features: Mystic Waters Campground offers lake recreation. "We stayed at Mystic Waters Campground for the Dave Matthews weekend and had the best time! It's clean and the staff was so friendly. Our floats on the lake while listening to DMB on the speakers was just a perfect way to spend the day," shares one family.
Playgrounds: Multiple campgrounds feature equipment for children. "This is a good family campground with a lot to do: a pool, worn out putt-putt, a little restaurant, small carnivalesque rides, and a decent camp store. The Saturday night we stayed they were playing a kids movie in one part of the campground and live music 'on the hill,'" notes an S and H Campground visitor.
Activity planning: Schedule around weekend events. "Looking for a monthly campsite in the Indianapolis area proved to be a challenge. We were so unsure about staying here as reviews we hit or miss. Decided to take a gamble and give it a try and it's been great! Friendly service, Lots to do for the kiddos. Plenty of amenities on the weekend," writes a family who stayed at S and H Campground.
Tips from RVers
Site dimensions: Glo Wood Campground offers spacious options. "Our spot, like all around us was very long and nice, wide space between campers. We camped with a 38 foot travel trailer and a 20 foot Ford F250, and still had room (about the size of a golf cart)," reports an RVer who appreciated the ample space.
Utilities reliability: Be prepared for variable hookups. "We had 50 amp/water and sewer. Sites are gravel and fairly level with a firepit and picnic table. Not much shade at the sites and there are several long term campers," notes a camper who stayed at Glo Wood Campground with their 33-foot fifth wheel.
Concert proximity: Indianapolis KOA offers convenient access to entertainment. "The reason I was impressed was, let's be honest, KOA holiday campgrounds tend to be loud and obnoxious. This isn't a huge campground though, which kept those things in check," explains a reviewer who chose this location for RV camping near Westfield, Indiana during concert season.
