Shipshewana Campground South Park

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Shipshewana Campground South Park sits in Indiana's Amish Country near Middlebury, operated as a private facility with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer at each site. The campground is drive-in accessible and runs $47 to $49 per night, with reservations available online and pets permitted throughout.

Sites are long enough to accommodate larger rigs, but spacing between them is tight. Reviewers consistently note that slides and awnings can come into direct conflict with neighboring units, and the central area has few trees, which limits shade but keeps satellite signals clear. Verizon users have reported four bars of cell coverage on-site, though the advertised WiFi has proven unreliable, with at least one visitor finding it redirected to a paid service rather than a free connection. Water pressure runs around 50 psi, and utilities are positioned at the center of each pad, which simplifies dumping.

Cleanliness is a consistent strength. SkipperAllen C. notes, "Bathrooms clean. Campground well maintained." Showers are push-button operated with no temperature control and run on the cooler side. A storm-related power outage in 2026 affected multiple stays and drew criticism over how management handled refund requests, worth factoring into trip planning during storm season.

Campers using this site as a base for warranty work in Goshen or a visit to the Shipshewana area will find it functional for short stays. Those wanting more separation between sites may want to compare campsites near Middlebury or consider Shipshewana North Park Campground about four and a half miles north.

no power and no refund

I stayed for a week at this park and they lost power due to a storm. Not their fault, I stayed the 1st night afterwards with no power but on the 2nd night they could not tell me when/if power would be restored and I am disabled and need power so I left. The refused to refund the unused days, even when I explained that I paid for a full hookup site and they could not provide power. The campground is decent, the showers are like "prison showers" where you have to push a button every 30 seconds and there is no hot/cold control. I would give it a 3-star if the customer service was not so lacking.

Narrow lots

The campground itself is beautiful—very clean, well‑kept, and surrounded by lovely green spaces. Unfortunately, the site layout is the real issue. The sites are long enough for larger rigs, but they’re packed in with almost no space between them. Each site has a fire ring, but using it would not be recommended. With our slides out, I could nearly touch both my camper and the one next to us at the same time. We couldn’t put our awning out without it hitting the neighbor’s rig. Because the neighboring unit was so large, sitting outside meant staring directly at their wall—and sitting right next to their sewage drain. When we asked for a different spot, we were told none were available because a group was coming in, yet there were easily 50 empty sites all weekend. Very disappointing, because otherwise it truly is a beautiful place. (See pictures) Side note: the power was off Friday until Sunday morning due to a storm on Thursday night. Would have been nice if we received a discount for not having electricity. The CG saved during this time period.

Okay Stay

We took I-80 all the way to near Shipshewana where the roads took us about 7 miles into the campground (CG). Check-in was quick and easy because we had paid ahead online. We proceeded to pull through site 37 with FHUs. The utilities were in the center, which made it nice to dump our two black tanks in order to go to the Brinkley Service Center the next morning. Water pressure was good at about 50 psi. It was nice that the utilities were on the center of the pad. We got 4 bars on Verizon. If we wanted to put out satellite, we could have as there are not many trees in the central area to block the signal. We tried to sign into the free Wifi with no luck. The website wanted us to sign up for paid internet, which we did not do. The sites in the CG are for the most part very close together. We were here overnight to take our rig into Goshen for warranty work. Coming from the West, stay on I-80 to IN-13(exit 107) as it makes for an easier route than on the local roads versus following your GPS or Waze which may have you exit off in Elkhart. Check out the great selections at Yoder's Meat& Cheese just down the road. This CG was okay for an overnighter or short stay.
