Indian Lake State Park Campground

Very nice campground with a pool,hiking trails,big camp store with lots of accessories.Lots of camp hosts who are very knowledgeable about the area.Good campsites with lots of room.

Nice place

This was our last camping trip of the year and it was cold. The campground was nearly empty so that was nice but the surrounding area was very crowded. There was nearly no area on the lake that didn’t have houses. The campground was clean and well maintained. There are sites that have access to get out on the water via a small canal. Some sites had good shade, and others had no shade. Overall it was a nice place, but the lake seemed very busy, even in cold weather.

Nice place but crowded area

Campground had a nice well maintained pool with lifeguards.  Campground had clean bathrooms and showers, and everything was well maintained.  Would have liked more hiking trails.  Only hiking  trail is rather boring.  The camper hosts nag about a lot of minor things that we’ve never experienced out of the several Ohio state parks we’ve camped out.   So I would say average place.

Indian lake state campground 

We went during the week and it was so nice! No one was at the beach except a couple families, great view of the lake, we camped on B105 which was a great site. Would definitely recommend!! They even have boat slips next to all the campsites in the canal. 

Great Visit with Lake View 

We visited here during their "Christmas in July" weekend and it was very fun. The kids and I got to hang Christmas lights and blow-ups. The campground had events like Christmas movies, a boat Christmas Parade, and even the big guy Santa. The campground is really big and spread out. The one negative comment is that with the age of our children we were far away from the beach, playground, and pool. When we go back we'll look to choose our campground based on location rather than campsite size.

Great Campground with a big lake access

This parks has a lot to offer if you like water sports.  There is a camper beach area, swimming pool and boat launch within the campground.  The down since a lot of site are in full sun and no privacy.  We do like the B section and try to stay there when we can.  There are no hiking trails or at least none that I have found and the paved trail you have to drive to as well as the disc golf course.  I like when everything is close by.  The camp store is nice except the firewood was terrible.  It was fresh cut and never did burn but other than that nice store.  We also visited a local wine room ( Fion ) when staying at the park which was fun although nothing to do with the park directly.  

Nice Lake and Beach

The campground and beach were very nice. The facilities are clean and updated. They have a pool on site as well but do to covid it was closed now. There are many playground areas throughout the campground for kids to play at. Some sites are directly on the lake you can pull your jet skis or boats and dock them at your site. There is a boat ramp near the camping beach with a nice large parking lot. The only real negative for me was it was very busy and congested. The campground is such a popular place especially at holidays that it was extremely busy and congested. Some sites were just feet apart from each other. 

 Nice park 

We had a really great time. The place has a pool and updated bathrooms. Nice trails and clean. The sites are kinda small in some areas though. The one section is like a parking lot. Your site is all asphalt your fire ring is even on the asphalt. 

Good place 

Best place ever.  Love the location and everything there is to do.  We always get a place near the boat dock and take our boat and waverunner.

Our favorite state park 

Big lots , very family friendly , Well-stocked store lots of family activities the water isn’t swimmable at the moment but it’s still really nice nice bath houses nice toilets

Huge lots 

Spent 3 nights in the wide open A Loop. Checked in on a Sunday and left on Wednesday. Pretty much had the loop to ourselves. Didn’t bother to hookup the electric because the solar was keeping up with our needs. 
Ran to Jackson Center to checkout the Airstream Factory. 
Great Verizon signal allowed us to stream.

CONS 

No senior discount

Basically the FHU loops are out in a field…no privacy from neighbors and no shade what so ever 

Grass around sites desperately needed mowed, if you could get thru the large mud puddles 

FHU loop D has narrow roads and require driving on grass to back in trailer and some campers in other sites had to move their vehicles 

Short length of campsite required creative parking of tow vehicle 

Damn Canadian Geese poop every...what a mess! 

Site number on electric utility box 

FHU sewer connection at the back of the campsite so bring the looooong stinky slinky FHU loop D had tiny toilet building, but no showers; showers were in non-FHU loops 

No entry gate personnel on a Friday afternoon to accomplish check-in. Went to park office next morning and was informed no check in required prior to Memorial Day. Never saw a Park ranger driving thru campground
