Best Campgrounds near Wolflake, IN

461 Reviews

Campgrounds near Wolflake, Indiana range from developed state parks to dispersed camping areas, with several offering lakefront access. Chain O' Lakes State Park Campground, located in Albion about 10 miles from Wolflake, features tent sites, RV hookups, cabins, and glamping options. Other notable camping areas include Blue Lake Campground in Churubusco and Bixler Lake Park & Campground in Kendallville, which provide various accommodation types from primitive tent sites to full-service RV sites with electric hookups.

Most developed campgrounds in northeastern Indiana operate seasonally, with peak availability from April through October. A visitor noted, "Chain is perfect for kayaking and canoeing with 9 connected lakes and 11 total. A couple lakes are perfect for boat fishing as long as you have an electric motor only." Water access represents a significant draw for the region, though some campgrounds like Jellystone Park at Pierceton have tightly packed sites with limited privacy. Campground amenities vary widely, with some offering full hookups, showers, and dump stations, while others provide only basic facilities. Reservations are recommended during summer weekends and holidays when waterfront sites fill quickly.

The mixed-use campgrounds in this region commonly feature wooded settings with varying levels of shade and proximity to lakes. Campers frequently mention the fishing opportunities as a highlight, with Chain O' Lakes State Park providing a dedicated fish cleaning station that receives praise in reviews. According to one camper, "The campground can get busy and loud but for the most part everyone was respectful of others." Wildlife viewing and hiking trails complement the water-based activities at many sites. While some camping areas like Hidden Diamonds Park in Albion offer peaceful settings, others located near highways report noise issues. Winter camping options are limited, with only a few year-round facilities available in the Wolflake area, making spring through fall the prime camping season for this region of Indiana.

    I loved how neighborly and extremely kind our camping neighbors were. Even though we were close in proximity to eachother, everyone remained respectful of the noise and helped eachother as much as we could. Good little camping trip community. Had a great experience

    Johnny Appleseed Campground

    Great location, but no privacy

    The campground is almost in the middle of Fort Wayne. Most of the sites are very close and no vegetation to allow any privacy. On the positive side, the bathrooms were very nice and clean. The staff was also very helpful.

    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.

    Bixler Lake Park & Campground

    Quiet.

    This is by far the place to just relax. It does have its moments..Holidays and special events. Even then campers here live by the lights out code. Been here nearly a month and definitely will be back.

    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.
